Remember that Saskatchewan Roughriders BlackBerry app that was released about a month ago, well it seems that all parties involved in making it (SaskTel , zu and the Saskatchewan Roughriders) are thrilled with the early success.
Since launching October 8th it’s been downloaded at and “astonishing pace” with over 11,000 times in 64 countries. The app gives you access to their schedule, Standings, Scores, Roster, Stats, Articles from newspapers and blogs and their Twitter account. Apparently they are planning on taking this model to the CFL and seeing if other teams want to get in on the action, plus possibly the WHL.
SaskTel President and CEO Robert Watson saod “The Rider App is SaskTel’s first mobile application and the response has exceeded our expectations. We’re grateful to Rider fans as well as our partners, the Saskatchewan Roughriders and zu, for their contributions to a successful project.”
