Advanced Television, 7 Feb 2013: "The BBC’s international website, BBC.com, has launched a sports mobile application for iPhone and iPod touch devices across the globe. The free app brings together the BBC’s coverage to deliver news, live scores, stats, commentary and analysis on the go. Arriving in time for the start of a busy 2013 sporting calendar, the app’s customisable menu allows audiences to keep up with their favourite sports – from breaking football news and gossip, to live text coverage of the UK Premier League, Rugby Union Six Nations championship and the upcoming F1 season. A mobile football live scores section has been introduced, allowing users to follow the action, whether they’re at the match or out and about. ... In addition, a fixtures and results section has been developed to help users keep on top of all the major UK and international football competitions, by simply selecting any day in the season from the app’s calendar."

BBC Sport web page: "Q: Why is the BBC iPhone app only available outside the United Kingdom? A: The BBC Trust has announced a review of the BBC's plans to deliver content via dedicated smartphone apps. The BBC will therefore not be launching news and sports apps for smartphones in the UK pending the outcome of the Trust review. However, the iPhone app is a commercial activity outside the UK and is not covered by the Trust review."
