NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--FANCRU, the sports fan engagement and loyalty marketing platform powering passionate sports fans, today announced their iOS application currently available in the Apple App Store. Sports fans, known as fiercely loyal to their sports, teams, venues and associated brands, now have access to a mobile solution that allows them to represent their team loyalty, show allegiance during every important game, receive real-time score updates, chat, cheer and vent with other fans through the app?s Game Feed, and locate where to watch games with other similarly-minded fans nearby. For sports teams, leagues, venues and brands the application offers a way to engage, reward and retain fans within a familiar, consumer-friendly interface.

?FANCRU is the glue to gameday and beyond for every sports fan. While there are many solutions that deliver scores and standings, as a huge sports fan myself, I wanted a way to connect with others, chat about what I was seeing live or on TV and promote my loyalty and my team through social channels,? said John Wagner, Co-Founder and President, FANCRU. ?The app gives fans those capabilities and more. I now have the ability to chat and connect with friends during a game, as well as find other fans who share the same allegiances. The Clubhouse and Game Feed provide information not only direct from teams but also from other fans so that all loyalists stay connected beyond gameday.?

• Cheer & Vent - Enhanced game experience for fans and their friends by providing an outlet to vent, cheer, share info and upload pictures (from a stadium or bar) and connect with others during a game through FANCRU?s Game Feed

• Represent - Define your team loyalties and select your allegiance for each game boosting your team in the rankings
• Conquer Standings - Earn points for your team to become the Captain of your team?s loyal followers
• Define Location ? Using the check-in feature you can select your location and find where others are watching games nearby that you can join. Become an MVP by checking-in and watching games at your favorite place
• Earn Rewards ? As you move up in the ranks, earn targeted rewards from teams, leagues and brands including tickets, seat upgrades, pro shop discounts and more
• Visit the Clubhouse - View real-time tweets and articles about your team, plus change your current location and see which of your friends are currently checked-in (and nudge them if they aren't!)
