NBA Fantasy News is a news aggregator app. The news comes in four types RoloWorld Fantasy News, ESPN.com NBA News, NBA Highlights on Youtube and news from NBA.com. Each category gives you three pages of stories, and each page consists of five to seven stories, made up of a headline, a couple lines from the article, and, in the case of the Youtube section, the preview image from the video. Tapping a story brings up a screen that allows you to visit the originating website and read the full article, and lets you tweet the story or share it on Facebook if you so desire. That's the extent of what it does as far as I can tell.
UI
The user interface is clean, responsive, and highly intuitive.
Usefulness:
This is not a particularly useful app. It basically just gives you headlines, and you can more or less get those just by visiting the respective websites it culls information from.
Reusability:
It looks like the information will update throughout the day, so if you like getting your NBA news this way, you'll probably use it a lot.
What I Liked
-The UI design is well done.
What I Hated
-Some of the articles it lists require access to ESPN Insider. I assume that's probably free, but I don't have an account there.
Final Verdict:
A decent news aggregator, but a news aggregator nonetheless, so it's probably not worth the time to download it.
NBA Fantasy News is available for free from Bobby J. Saini on BlackBerry App World.
