Cavaliers Launch All-New Mobile App

Just in time for the tipoff of the Cleveland Cavaliers’ highly anticipated 2014-15 season, the Wine & Gold have announced the launch of their all-new Cavs mobile application. The upgraded Cavs app is the latest enhancement to create an ever-growing immersive experience for fans, giving them unparalleled access to the Cavs, whether they’re catching the action “Deep in The Q,” from the comfort of their own home, or on the go!

The FREE official Cavaliers mobile app is available NOW for download at the Apple App Store and Google Play Store and is compatible on all Apple and Android smartphone and tablet devices. Fans who currently use the previous Cavs App will receive an update pushed directly to their device to download the latest version.

Developed by YinzCam, an interactive technology company founded at Carnegie Mellon University, this must-have, dynamic mobile app will allow fans to watch instant video replays from multiple camera angles on their mobile devices when they are inside the arena, as well as provide real-time game statistics and team information.

"We specifically designed the Cavs app to serve as a ‘fan remote-control’ in order to completely customize the experience for every fan,” said Michael Conley, Cavaliers Vice President of Digital and Web Services. “Through YinzCam’s cutting-edge technology, we’re connecting fans to the Wine & Gold in ways that they’ve never experienced before – and it’s all in the palm of their hand.”

ALL ACCESS, ALL THE TIME!
Giving fans anytime-anywhere access all season long, the Cavs app will showcase dynamic and interactive capabilities to get them ready for game time, all the time! Features include:

  • Integrated news stream with Cavs articles, videos and photos
  • Aggregated social media feed, featuring tweets from Cavs players, coaches and personalities
  • Updated roster, player and game stats, schedule and league standings
  • Ticketing info for all upcoming events at Quicken Loans Arena
  • Live HD radio broadcast stream of the entire Cavaliers 2014-15 season (for users within a 75-mile radius of Quicken Loans Arena, per NBA regulation)
  • … and much more!

GAME DAY APP-SPERIENCE
The app also features several groundbreaking capabilities to provide Cavs fans coming to Quicken Loans Arena with a customized game day experience. By leveraging geofence and beacon technology installed throughout The Q, the Cavs will engage with fans during the game through location-based alerts:

  • As they enter Quicken Loans Arena for the game, fans just might receive a customized video message from the team welcoming them to The Q!
  • Catered to fan interests and location within the arena, fans can also expect personalized offers for the Cavs Team Shop or Aramark concessions to be delivered right to their phone.
  • Through Google Maps technology, fans will have the ability to explore The Q through a detailed, interactive arena map. Coming later this season, this same technology will offer Cavs fans step-by-step directions to find nearby arena entrances, concessions, restrooms and more!

CATCH ALL THE ACTION, LIVE!
For fans in-arena who are connected to The Q’s FREE advanced Wi-Fi or DAS networks, the Cavs app will showcase a multitude of captivating second-screen features, providing them with the ULTIMATE fan experience:

  • Live play-by-play coverage, enhanced game-tracking stats, extended box scores, in-game shot charts and heat maps for each team through the GameTracker feature
  • Quick replays of all Cavalier possessions from multiple angles on the court
  • Opportunities to win great prizes through a gamification feature powered by SnapBatch (a Cleveland-based company). Cavs fans can participate in head-to-head trivia based on real-time results on the court!
  • Following the game, fans will have the opportunity to relive their game day experience with video highlights and postgame interviews.
