The Premier League has launched its own official Premier League iPhone App for soccer fans around the world. We’ve been waiting forever for something like this. And the technologically slow Premier League has finally caught up with the times.

The features of the app include:

• Updates on the long list of the Premier League’s latest legal filings. Find out what’s happening with their lawsuit against YouTube, their legal threats against websites that show crests for Premier League teams, and their attempts to stop users on Twitter sharing match reports of Premier League games.
• The debt index. Instead of wondering how much debt the Premier League clubs are in, you can find out the exact number by using this feature on the app. The chart is updated daily to show the massive debt and how it dwarfs those nansy-pansy European clubs, and
• The long list of who has rights to what in each country. If you’ve ever wondered who has the rights to show the Premier League in each country, broken down by the different forms of rights packages such as broadband, television, radio and mobile, you can now use this feature of the app to finally unlock the secrets that the Premier League have never revealed before.

For the past few weeks, I’ve been playing with a new application for the iPhone called “EPL Live!” While the name of the application doesn’t conjure up anything wondrous, what the application does is perfect for Apple iPhone users who are massive football fans.

Available for $4.99 through Apple’s App Store, EPL Live! from Infindo Technology allow you to:

• Follow the live text commentary for all Premier League games,
• Get match statistics such as fouls, possession, saves, corners, red cards, etc,
• Find out what the team lineups and formation are 30 minutes before kickoff,
• View a visual match summary so you can see where the key moments in the match occurred,
• Look up results for the entire season,
• Review the league table which is automatically updated,
• and more.

Version 1.1.1 was released on November 10 and it’s highly recommended. One of the best attributes of the game is that you don’t need to refresh the data like you do on a traditional live text commentary on a browser. Instead, the information on EPL Live! it automatically updates itself.

Here’s a picture of the main screen from the game:

This is the perfect app for soccer fans on the go who aren’t able to watch the games live on TV. For me, it’s been a lifesaver while on business trips, at work and trying to find out what the scores were while looking after the kids. It’s truly the next best thing to watching it on TV or online.

It was developed by a team in Malaysia. Learn more about the app.
