You know that moment in a big football game where it’s 4th down and goal, and everything’s riding on that last play? Well, this was one of those moments for a certain project team here at BestFit Mobile.
Here’s the play by play:
We had the privilege of taking on the challenge of developing a mobile app for everyone’s favorite NFL Draft guru, Mel Kiper Jr. With the sheer number of players alone, not to mention their stats, history and app development, this data-heavy project was definitely one for the books.
Since 1984, Mel Kiper has been synonymous with the NFL Draft. His prediction rate is near 80% and his yearly draft reports and reviews have become known as the “bible” of draft fans. His fans have paid up to $30 for either a hard copy or downloadable PDF version of Kiper’s report.
Now, with Mel Kiper Jr’s Draft Guide app, followers of the NFL Draft can have a more easily accessible, searchable and sort-able version of Kiper’s report all on their iPhone or iPad.
The app itself is available free in the iTunes app store and comes with the 2010 Draft Report available as a sample. The current 2011 Draft Report is available for download at $9.99 via in-app purchase. That’s half the price print version. Future reports will be available through the app and the app will soon be launched on other current mobile platforms.
This undertaking truly was a challenge for the BestFit Mobile team, and it took teamwork to make sure the finished product was up to the standard of Mel Kiper and his reports.
But, it’s not over yet. The NFL Draft starts April 28, 2011 at 7 P.M. The app was approved just in time for the draft, so enough talk, let’s get out there and hustle.
