Anita D (ID: 00000013158e9803) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 04/28/2019 I love FanSided. I use it on my phone everyday. I'm a Blues Hockey fan and it's been great to keep up with the latest news. I have two buddies I watch all the games with and I usually get new info. on my team before they do, waiting to read the newspaper. The articles are well-written and informative. There's lots more to see and do with this app, but if you're into sports, you'll enjoy this. I also follow the St. Louis Cardinals and good info. on that team also.
