Award-Winning Thuuz app becomes first all-purpose sports app that also integrates fantasy sports, delivering real-time player activity, match-up updates, 'Tune in Now' alerts, and prompts for Smack Talk
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., Sept. 13, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --Fantasy football fanatics now have a whole new way to fuel their annual autumn obsession. Thuuz, Inc. today announced the latest release of its award-winning Thuuz Sports app now with Fantasy Plus. Thuuz Sports is the first general mobile sports app to also integrate multiple fantasy leagues. Football lovers can now keep up in real-time with both their favorite teams and their fantasy players.
Launching just in time for the 2012 NFL season, Thuuz Sports now with Fantasy Plus guarantees fantasy owners will never miss an exciting fantasy performance throughout the entire season. With Thuuz Sports, fans can automatically upload team rosters from one or more fantasy platforms, including Yahoo, CBSSports.com, ESPN, NFL.com and Fleaflicker. The app then provides fans with a one-stop-shop dashboard and alerting service to keep fantasy owners up to speed on all the action - match up updates, red zone alerts, injury notifications and more. Thuuz works in tandem with these fantasy platforms, so all roster moves made through these platforms are updated in real-time within the Thuuz app.
"With personalized TV listings and excitement alerts, Thuuz tells you which game you should be watching right now," said Warren Packard, CEO at Thuuz. "With our new Fantasy Plus features, we also make sure you never miss a game where your fantasy players are on fire and racking up points! Even if you can't watch the game live, you can still use Thuuz to keep up with how your fantasy players are performing at the same time you're tracking all of your other favorite games."
For The Ultimate Fantasy Fanatic
The new Fantasy Plus addition to the free Thuuz Sports app takes aim at the $4 billion fantasy sports industry that, according to the Fantasy Sports Trade Association, boasts some 35 million players in the U.S. alone, nearly three-quarters of whom play fantasy football.
"I first discovered Thuuz during March Madness this year - now I won't go through any sports season without it," said Nathan Zegura, CBSSports.com senior fantasy writer and Thuuz adviser. "You will never miss an exciting game with the app, and with the new Fantasy Plus features, you will always know when your players are taking care of business. This app changes the way you watch sports and ensures you always catch the action that matters the most to you!"
In addition to automatically importing your fantasy teams, Thuuz Sports with Fantasy Plus includes:
-- Thuuz Feed, the ultimate real-time, steady-stream sports feed that makes
it easy to keep up--or quickly catch up--with the latest scores, stats
and more.
-- Real-time player status and league tracking across multiple fantasy
sports platforms;
-- Push alerts for instant notification when players are in scoring
position and related TV tune-in information to watch the play as it
happens;
-- Hot player and injury update alerts for keeping tabs on scoring
highlights and other milestones;
-- Competition alerts when a fantasy match-up is down to the wire.
Talk Smack, Share Games and Updates over Social Networks
With built-in social integration, Thuuz even lets users talk smack with their friends and fellow fantasy league owners. Users can post directly to a league bulletin board within Thuuz and tag specific members with beat-down blasts, all with just a single tap from within the app--no more jumping from a fantasy app to a text message and back. Facebook and Twitter integration makes it easy for Thuuz users to share games and updates and view, like or comment on friends' games all within the Thuuz app.
