Super Bowl XLIX: Battle Between the Mobile Apps of the Seahawks and Patriots

The New England Patriots and Seattle Seahawks are a very even matchup on the field. Both teams are well-balanced and disciplined with star power at the most important positions. But their mobile apps also match up well, and provide their equally strong fan bases with additional platforms to consume team content.

The following is a brief look at the official mobile applications (as viewed on iOS) for the Patriots (Massachusetts-based Adept Mobile) and the Seahawks (Yinzcam) before they compete in Super Bowl XLIX. Note: the Patriots also have a separate game-day app and the reviews were done without experiencing each during a game nor while signed-on to any of the features.

There are some cool utilities and novelties, some gaps, some great features, and some missed opportunities. While the official Super Bowl mobile app (Yinzcam) will power the activity on-site at the big game on February 1, 2015, these two combatants on the field offer some good competitive juice in the mobile app space, too.

Who do you think has the better app?
