Being a dad is awesome, but like most things in life, it also has its drawbacks. Before kids came along, you could settle down for an afternoon of tennis or NFL and enjoy an uninterrupted game. You were also free to check the latest match scores at any time of the day or night. But then your life became a whirlwind of activity, with very little respite other than the few hours you got to spend asleep in bed.

Fortunately, technology provides many solutions to a busy dad’s hectic life with kids. Just because a trip to watch a game of football is a rare event and it’s virtually impossible to enjoy an afternoon watching your favorite sport without kids climbing all over you, it doesn’t mean sport is lost to you forever. Thanks to apps for smartphones and tablets, you can now stay up to date with the latest action in real time, no matter where you are. Check the latest match results or place a cheeky bet on the English football league after reading a Ladbrokes review. The choice is yours. To help you decide which apps to try, here is a review of the best sports apps you need to try today.
