August 17, 2022
App State introduced the official App State Athletics App Monday, available on the App Store and Google Play.
The App State Athletics App was designed to serve Mountaineer fans by providing easy access to game day information such as tickets, parking, live Tweets and more.
The app provides a multitude of other features, including interactive maps, rosters, schedules, stats, ticketing and special offers.
After launching the app, users are able to customize their experience by selecting their favorite App State teams, enabling them to receive live game alerts, special team offers and more on those selected teams.
The app consists of five tabs, all displayed by icons on a selection bar at the base of the screen; “Home,” “Teams,” “Schedule,” “News” and “More.”
The Home tab displays a photo and information on the user’s favorite teams’ upcoming schedule. Also provided on the Home screen are six smaller tabs labeled “Tickets,” “Fan Guide,” “Teams,” “Merchandise,” “Map” and “Schedule.” Those tabs link users to separate pages containing that information.
The Teams tab allows users to scroll through all App State sports and select one, pulling up that team’s information, roster and staff.
The Schedule tab displays the full schedule of a selected App State team, utilizing yellow headers on games and matches that have special distinctions, like “Black Saturday,” “Homecoming” and “Senior Day.”
Tweets from App State sports accounts users selected as their favorites are shown in chronological order on the News tab.
The More tab provides access to a user’s settings, favorite teams list and tickets, as well as frequently asked questions and more.
App State partnered with From Now On, a tech service assisting colleges, high schools, teams and events, in the development of the application. From Now On uses its flagship FanX Mobile Engagement Platform in designing specialized apps allowing teams and events to transform how they connect with their fans and communities.
“From Now On is about a commitment to a journey, to grow and make every experience count for our customers, partners and their fans,” according to its website. “It’s about bridging the gap from what was possible, to what is happening.”

Paid for by students! Because the Athletics program is completely incapable of financially supporting itself and instead chooses to leech off of students to the tune of ~$20 million each and every year! Yup, without students being forced to subsidize Athletics (the largest student fee BY FAR, at just over $1000/student/year) Athletics not only wouldn’t break-even financially, they wouldn’t even come close, losing close to $25 million EVERY YEAR, when you also factor in the direct subsidies handed over by the university in addition to the student fees. Guess someone has to pay for Doug Gillin’s obscene salary (more than 10x what full-time NTT faculty make, even those that have been here for 10+ years.)
Staff and faculty on food stamps, dilapidated buildings that still have asbestos tiles, buildings with no active ventilation systems, broken lab equipment. This school’s academic infrastructure is teetering on collapse and faculty are leaving in droves for greener pastures…but we got gold-colored toilets for the new north end zone facility!
Athletics has ruined this university, financially, ethically, literally. What a complete farce.
