The Fantasy Football Season is here for 2012, and ESPN has thrown something new into the mix to make things extra interesting. An iPad App has been released, and it looks great. Over the past few years there has been an iPhone app, and this has proved useful to the players when it comes to drafting teams and taking part in the virtual environment. Now you can do it on a much bigger, retina display, and that always makes things more fun.

The App is free and has been available since September 4th 2012. It’s still on version 1.0 which means there was no problems and no quick update was required, which is always good news to hear. Last thing we want is problems when taking part in the game.

With the app you can do pretty much everything such as managing full teams and leagues, the ability to follow matches in real time, add, drop and trade players. You can also make last second line-up changes no matter where you are, and of course as long as you have your iPad on you.

The main features include:

•Team Management: Start/bench players, add, drop, and claim players off waivers, propose, accept or reject trades with other managers
•FantasyCast Live Scoring and Stats: Real-time scoring and detailed information for all your matchups.
•Fantasy News and Videos from ESPN’s fantasy analysts.
•View and post messages to your league’s message board

It’s only 3.7mb in size, so it’s not going to cause any capacity problems on your iPad device.

So far there have been 281 ratings on the Apple Download Page, and it has reached an average of 4.5/5 stars which is a great rating. This App requires iOS 5.0 and later versions.
