BBC iPlayer Radio
If you have tried the BBC iPlayer app, you would have enjoyed the engaging and informative content, as well as the myriad of topics they cover. But what if you can’t keep your eyes on the screen or want to enjoy the same content in podcast form? BBC iPlayer Radio lets you listen to five radio channels of live commentary. So, even if you are out driving and can’t catch the match, you would still be in the know when you use the app with Apple CarPlay. The app also has a host of football shows to satisfy your fervent love for the sport, and you can even listen to the shows offline. One feature meant for those who are absolutely obsessed with podcasts or football shows is the built-in alarm clock and night mode, so you can wake up to live commentaries and doze off to match reviews.

All Football
Besides giving you access to the latest football news, you can tailor your experience by telling the app who your favourite teams are. World Cup enthusiasts can turn on push notifications so that you don’t miss a single update even while asleep. You can then view the match analysis after the match is over. All Football also consolidates all the statistics into one page, with tables, fixtures, results, squad, player profiles and performance stats, so you don’t have to browse various websites to gather comprehensive information on the World Cup. Football is more fun when you connect with fans of the same team, so log into the chat room to rave about your favourite players, or debate with others about who performed better in that last match.

This game is perfect for rainy days when you can’t head to the field.
