CrowdScores - Live Pre-season Scores

[crowdscores]

Hi,

I’m Mike from CrowdScores, a football scores app with a difference.

We’re looking to improve the live score experience for fans and have created a platform where football supporters can instantly share goals, cards and subs with one another. This means that you get updates faster and more reliably than from major sports data conglomerates. Our app is also specifically designed for the low signal environment of a football ground, which makes score checking and sharing a less painful experience.

Obviously this enables you to share information on games that major sports data conglomerates are not interested in. As football fans ourselves, we know that keeping up to date with pre-season games is almost impossible and we want to change that. Our platform means that no game is too small for instantaneous live score updates - it’s like having a friend at every game. We have the ability to provide live updates on youth games, reserve games and friendlies as well as offering the fastest and most accurate score updates available during the domestic season.

Check out our speed and accuracy by downloading our app available on Android and iOS and compare the speed to Sky, the BBC or your scores app of choice.

If you’re heading to Braintree's pre-season matches and you’d be interested in sharing the score with fans everywhere and becoming a part of the CrowdScores network then give us a shout and we’ll add it to the system.

Thanks,

Mike

I'll be at the match on Tuesday (v Norwich) and would be more than happy to give it a go.

Hi Capricorn,

That is fantastic news, I will definitely be adding that game in to the system so you can share the score with other fans.

I will be about on Tuesday and do my best to guide you through it or provide any information you need.

Thanks again!

Mike

Hello all,

Just a quick message to say that Braintree v Norwich is live in our system for tonight.

If you are logging in from the game you can report the events live from the match.

If you can't make the game then our app is available for Apple and Android and will be featuring live updates from tonight's game.

Enjoy the game,

Mike

Pretty sure nobody will be updating it tonight...

[iron27]

Unless I have missed something. .. isn't the game tomorrow night?

[Stuart R]

Yes, game is tomorrow night.

[crowdscores]

Unsurprisingly we didn't have any reports from "last night's match" so we will try again tonight!

The Norwich game is in the system for later on, as it was yesterday before my error-filled post so again we'd love to see people report.

If you're looking to follow the game live then our Apple and Android apps will have updates tonight.

Enjoy the game,

Mike

Great, all registered and look forward to trying it out tonight.

Hi C1,

Looking forward to seeing you report tonight.

We will endeavour to have players added to the system to you can pick your scorers and keep people updated.

Cheers,

Mike

I picked up the score from the crowdscores app, well done everyone who contributed to making the facility happen

[capricorn1]

Actually really enjoyed using this last night, once you do your first 'report' of the game and realise you're first it then becomes addictive as you want to keep on being first to report!

Only issues I had was I couldn't figure out how to report subs and also that somebody reported kick off before the actual game kicked off, I think the ref had blown the whistle to get the captains over.

Also, while it worked very well at this match I could see it being very frustrating at higher league grounds as the 3G\4G is normally congested. That's a network issue though rather than an app issue.

Hopefully I'll get to give it another go again on Saturday!

C1,

Just wanted to thank you for your fantastic reports last night, clearly people were using the app to follow your scores which is absolutely brilliant.

It would be great to have you back on the app for this weekend's game, if you can make it I will add it to the system asap.

The app becomes a little harder to use the higher up the pyramid you go but it is designed to work on very low coverage so it should be easier than any of our competitors.

We are hoping to make the rewards system even more addictive in the months to come and are overhauling the 'game' side of the app so you can track the games you have been to and the grounds you have visited along the way.

Thanks again for trying the app out!


Ozbrit,

It's great to see that our app is being used to both share and receive them! That is exactly how we want it to work so it's nice to see that it's helpful and informative.

Hopefully this can be the start of providing you with regular updates on Braintree scores, including next season's league games.

Thanks to everyone who has signed up,

Mike

Just a quick one to remind everyone that the Southend game is in the system and on the app for today. Also comments have been released so that you can add extra information about the game whenever you want.

It would be great to see some of you reporting but if you can't make the game then follow the app for live updates.

Thanks for all of the support and enthusiasm so far, hopefully you can get a win today.

Mike

Is anyone interested in having the Cambridge game on the app for this afternoon?

[crowdscores]

Hey all,

I'm back again just to quickly say we'll be covering all of Braintree's pre-season games live from tomorrow night.

Since this time last year we've made considerable improvements to the app. This includes an improved design, new features and the addition of a whole host of leagues & competitions. Also the sheer number of reports from users and our improved aggregation means that we're now updating scores faster than ever before.

If you want to check us out the app it is available on Android (crwd.sc/AndroidBTFC) and iOS (crwd.sc/iOSBTFC).

Thanks.
