NCAA March Madness App Enhancements: Live Radio & Widgets

Published Categorized as Tech No Comments on NCAA March Madness App Enhancements: Live Radio & Widgets

Despite certain automakers downplaying the capabilities of Android Auto and CarPlay, app developers persist in enhancing these platforms.

The NCAA recently announced exciting updates to the March Madness Live app, building upon its existing Android Auto and CarPlay support introduced last year. The latest enhancements include live activities and updates widgets for iPhone users, amplifying the app’s immersive experience.

Notably, the update expands live game radio features for both Android Auto and CarPlay, offering comprehensive coverage of all 67 games by Westwood One. With live radio seamlessly integrated into the March Madness app, users can access game broadcasts without switching to third-party software.

While reflecting on the significance of live radio support in sports apps, it’s evident that such features should be intrinsic, especially given their availability through other channels. The NCAA’s initiative underscores a commitment to delivering essential content directly to basketball enthusiasts, streamlining the user experience.

However, the absence of an official YouTube client on Android Auto and CarPlay remains noteworthy. Despite third-party workarounds enabling YouTube access, the reluctance of parent companies to endorse it persists, leaving drivers reliant on unofficial solutions for full YouTube functionality.
