ESPN has had an app, the ESPN Hub, in the Windows Phone Store for a couple of years now but it hasn’t seen many updates.  Today however the sports broadcasting company made up for it in spades.  The new ESPN App is essentially a relaunch of the ESPN Hub and it is a major update to this app.  The new ESPN app, version 1.0.0.1741 for those keeping score at home, has a completely new look and feel over the old ESPN Hub app and it brings sports to you front-and-center with things like real time updates, scores and highlights from all the major sports leagues and you can stream ESPN radio for free from the app.

Best of all, this new app is free and available right now in the Store.

If you have read this blog or followed me on Twitter for any amount of time, you know that I’m a huge Formula One fan.  I started watching F1 in the mid-80s and my passion for the sport is as strong as ever.  My team is Williams-Martini Racing and I have a particular fondness for Finnish drivers (they have insane car control) of which one of the two in F1 these days, Valtteri Bottas, is a Williams pilot.  The season is less than two weeks away and I cannot wait (and to be fair, I can’t wait for baseball to start either. Go Rockies!)

While there is no official F1 app for Windows Phone, there are several good ones in the Windows Phone Store.  I have found though that one of the best for news, information and features about the sport, ESPNF1 is the must-have app.  ESPNF1 is, as the name suggests, developed by ESPN who have a some great sports apps in the Store, and it provides you will the latest news about the goings-on in F1, video features, track information and current Driver and Constructor standings.  It is one of the most comprehensive F1 apps available with only a few areas of improvement that would complete it.
