Yes, thank you for sharing this info! I really like the fact there is an app for me to keep track of medal counts. One of my coworkers at Dish and I just checked in with earlier today too, and it looks like the USA has got quite a few gold medals under their belts so far; which is awesome! I have yet to check out some of the other apps you included in your list, but for now I have been getting my Olympic fix live with my Dish Remote Access app. I have a Sling Adapter setup at home, so thankfully with both of those I'm able to watch all of my favorite shows, live or recorded, on my phone anywhere I am in the world on 3G/4G or Wi-Fi.
