They include access to your ESPN.com bracket [6] , an aggregated Twitter feed, live commentary, video highlights and more.The ESPN interface also is smooth and easy to use, so this is another must-have app.
3. Yahoo Sports: The Yahoo Sports NCAA Tournament app [7] is a great way to keep track of all the NCAA action, and to see if you're still in the running for the $5 million grand prize for having a perfect bracket on the site. The person behind the best bracket, if it's not perfect, will win $10,000, so make sure everyone you know creates a Yahoo Sports bracket, and download the app for their iPad, iPhone or Android smartphone so you maximize your chances of winning.

4. NCAA: The NCAA's official March Madness app [8] is another amazing app. It not only provides all the official commentary, news and analysis from the National College Athletics Association, but is also another great spot to catch all 67 NCAA Tournament games in their entirety via live stream. But the app does cost $3.99, which is a major drawback of the NCAA's app.
