    I have used the iPhone version. It's below average to terrible. If you want to listen to games, it's okay. There was going to be an iPad app, but it looks like they pulled the plug on it. Beware, it's more than 99¢. It takes an in app purchase to listen to games. I think it's $1.99 per sports, can't remember the all sports price since that's what I purchased.

    It's 100% worthless. The news is all old and there is NO streaming of games. DO NOT waste your $0.99!!

  • I downloaded and have never used.

    Since we're talking bout apps, would love any feedback if you guys have tried the Huskers Illustrated iPad app.

    Z, I'm curious, was it the iPhone/iPod Touch app? I have the iPhone app and I can stream audio for games. I would say it's about 90% worthless. You have to register through huskers.com, I think. Then login to your account and purchase an audio subscription for all sports or the sport you want. I purchased all audio streams for 2011-2012, but can't see how much that is now. It just says purchased. I think it was $4.99 + $0.99 for the app.

    Josh, the app is NOT intuitive or user friendly. Like Z said, out of date on a lot of content. The game alerts have NEVER worked. Poorly implemented and sorry to see the athletic department work with a developer that puts out a horrible app. I would probably pay $10 to $20 for a great app. Hopefully, the powers that be have recognized this and will make a change next year. They should use the same developer that did the btn2go app, that one is pretty darn good.

    I only used it during the football season to look at the game photos. Since I only get to three or four games a year, it's nice to see some great photos of the game. It is good, but would like to see more content. Maybe pull news, rosters, schedules, commit list from 247 site and display within the app without using the browser that is embedded. Not sure if 247 will allow you to do that. It's just real basic right now. If I could get the magazine through it instead of Zinio, that would be awesome! Again, not sure the logistics with in app purchases and Apple's policies.

    BTW, I just opened it and none of the covers or photos will load.

  • There needs to be a good app or something for mobile users since we cant use internet radio anymore.
