'FanZcall Interactive Sports' is a new app for sports fans that was created to enhance the MLB viewing experience with a bit of friendly competition.
In order to make the experience of watching baseball more engaging, fans are able to make predictions for the game and be rewarded with 'FanZpoints.' The gamified app has a leaderboard that keeps score of a user's total points earned, making it easy for sports fans to see where they stand against others, whether they are a friend in the same room or a fellow baseball enthusiast who lives halfway across the world.
Unlike many apps on the market, FanZcall Interactive Sports is completely free to use and has no in-app purchases available. This means that making an incorrect prediction on FanZcall won't be a costly mistake.
