The Official Masters Tournament – the iPad app for The Masters 2012 – hit the iPad App Store yesterday. The Masters is a one-of-a-kind sports event, and their official app for the iPad and iOS has always been stellar as well.
This year’s version looks better than ever – and should be a must-have for golf fans during this year’s tournament, which runs from April 2-8. To say the app is packed with good content would be a major (tee hee) understatement. Just for starters, it will offer live simulcast of CBS’ Saturday and Sunday coverage, and seven additional live streams of video content.
Here’s more detail on some of the app’s notable features:
– All video will be displayed in beautiful full-screen, HD-quality and viewable with 3G and Wi-Fi connections
SEVEN ADDITIONAL LIVE STREAMS OF VIDEO CONTENT
– Wednesday’s Par 3 Contest
– Tournament play at Amen Corner (Hole Nos. 11, 12, and 13)
