Glasgow 2014 Launches Mobile Apps

Ahead of the Opening Ceremony of the Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games on Wednesday evening, organisers of the event have launched two new mobile apps to help keep visitors and locals up to date with everything going on throughout the competition.

The Glasgow 2014 “My Games” app provides visitors and spectators with a host of information for exploring the city, venues and all the sporting action while the Glasgow 2014 Results App keeps fans up to date with all the results and medal tables across the 17 sports. Both are available for iOS and Android.

With the My Games app, visitors can see the full schedule for the 11 days, create a personalised Games itinerary, access maps and transport information, as well as find listings on shopping, food, drink and cultural venues.

With the Results App, users can follow the medal journey of their favourite nations, sports and athletes in real time so they don’t miss out on their Games achievements.

Notifications from the My Games app will also remind people to tune in for specific events such as the Opening Ceremony and sporting finals.

With the Opening Ceremony for the Commonwealth Games taking place at Celtic Park this evening, fans inside the ground will also be able to make use of the app and social media, with the stadia already fitted with wifi-access.

Sports Revolution has been working with Glasgow2014 organisers to offer all fans at Celtic Park access to its stadium network, after kitting out the stadium with high-density Wi-Fi back in September.

This will be one of the first times a major UK stadium has been equipped with Wi-Fi for an international event of this magnitude.
