Apps to Super Charge Your Super Bowl Party

Published

on

Here’s a list of mobile apps that will help you get ready for the Super Bowl and help you enjoy the game. I’m not as excited about the Super Bowl this year as I would be if my Packers made it. So I looked for some apps to make the game more enjoyable as I hang out with my friends at our Super Bowl Party.

As for the game itself, my heart says go Patriots kill those rotten Giants and my head says the Giants winning makes my team’s loss look less punishing.

On to the apps…

Getting Ready

Are you hosting the game party? Will you be bringing some goodies? Maybe you need to cook up some snacks. Here’s a couple of apps to help.

Epicurious Free – iOS and Android

Epicurious

Epicurious is one of the best recipe apps available. Once you pick out what you want to make, it makes a shopping list to use at the store.

Grill-It! – $.99 – iOS and Android

Grillit

As good as the weather’s been lately, chances are you can grill out on Super Bowl Sunday. Here’s a great app for grilling recipes and instructions.

Commercials

We know that for many of you, the football game is of secondary interest. The Super Bowl commercials will be more entertaining for many viewers than grown men running into each other. Below are some Super Bowl commercial apps.

Super Ads: Super Bowl Commercials – iOS – $1.99

Superads

This app lets you watch your favorite Super Bowl commercials again and again. It has ads from past Super Bowls as well.

Facebook – Free – iOS and Android

Facebook will let you use their app to vote for the best ads during the game. You can also go online and do it through your browser.

Shazam – Free – iOS and Android

Shazam

You may have used Shazam to identify songs on the radio, but you will also be able to use it to identify ads during the Super Bowl. Find deals and freebies based on what the app finds. Not all the commercials will be identifiable by the app, so don’t get frustrated when it says it can’t find something.

During the Game

Watch Live NFL Games on Your Smartphone With the Verizon NFL Mobile app

You can read more about NFL Mobile in our earlier coverage, but wanted to remind you that you can watch the game on your phone if you have the Verizon-only NFL mobile app. You can watch the Super Bowl for free with the NFL Mobile app if you’re a Verizon customer. Sadly, Sprint, T-Mobile and AT&T customers will have to use SlingPlayer which isn’t free and requires expensive hardware.
