Scott Davis of Critical Technologies Group, LLC said the following:
Regarding fan response: "The fan response has been great for the minor league teams with mobile apps. Over 30,000 downloads and more than one million fan interactions later, we are seeing more and more MiLB teams interested in a mobile presence. The fans love the ability to take the team on the road with them wherever they go. They can stay up to date on the latest headlines, social media and even watch pitch-by-pitch updates anywhere in the world. It's extremely powerful for the fans and the team."
Regarding mobile: "Mobile apps are quickly becoming a part of our daily lives. Five years ago only a handful of people were using smart phones with web surfing capabilities. Now we are in our kitchens with recipe apps, editing spreadsheets during board meetings and following our favorite teams on the go. In the next few years the mobile space is going to continue to evolve to the point where we are throwing credit cards out the window and paying for everything on our mobile devices. The sky is the limit. The question shouldn't be "if" but "when" your company will adopt mobile."
Mud Hens Manager of Online Marketing Nathan Steinmetz said, "We're very excited to present this free app to Mud Hens fans. We're always looking to find innovative ways to keep our fans informed of the latest news about the ballclub and the organization. The app will also act as a great resource for fans attending our games - with info on the ballpark, a game center feature with up-to-date stats and roster info, and more."
The Mud Hens are one of only a handful of teams to have their own iPhone app. Apps for the Android and Blackberry mobile devices are currently in development.
