- Selected as 1 of 5 apps to follow NCAA tournament by
USA Today.
TORONTO, March 30, 2015 /CNW/ - Sprylogics
International Corp. ("Sprylogics" or the "Company") (TSXV:
SPY), a technology provider of semantic search and local mobile
search for consumers and businesses, is pleased to announce that
its BreakingSports app has eclipsed 100,000 downloads in
March.
BreakingSports has been well received by sports fans and fantasy
players and most recently by those who are following teams or their
brackets in the NCAA March Madness tournament.
In addition, the app has garnered other valuable metrics
including the delivery of over 10 million notifications to its
users, via more than 1.1 million pieces of relevant, filtered and
categorized content. Users average over 8 custom
subscriptions (of their chosen teams and/or players) and are
viewing more than 8 pages per session, leading to significant
engagement and session time, throughout the day. This
meaningful level of engagement will continue to grow as users beef
up their subscriptions and hone their preferred choice of
filters.
To that end, BreakingSports was selected by USA Today on Sunday
March 29, 2015, as one of "Five apps to follow the Final
Four."
The paper wrote:
"Even though everyone else is doing it, you really shouldn't
check Twitter all day at work to keep up with your favorite teams.
At least not if you expect to keep your job through April.
BreakingSports is an app that brings the news you want right to
you, right away. Using some high tech searching, their system reads
through Twitter, Reddit, and other news sources to get you the
up-to-the-minute details before the ESPN recap. We're talking more
than scores. You'll get news on injuries, lineups, and even rumors.
Just filter the app to show your favorite teams and players, and
it's game on. Download the app for free on iOS and
Android."

"We are delighted with the traction, feedback and usage at this
early stage of our product launch. Our BreakingSports app has
only just begun to turn heads with its unique and fully automated
method of tapping social media to deliver customized news feed with
selective filtering," said Marvin
Igelman, CEO of Sprylogics. BreakingSports' unique
value proposition and speed to notification make it a valuable app
for sports fantasy players and enthusiasts and the USA Today has recognized that as it relates to
the NCAA March Madness action."
BreakingSports tracks social media in real-time for significant
sports information and events and distributes summarized
information through fully automated real-time push notifications to
