There are so many apps for your mobile device to keep up-to-date with the games, and two of the most popular apps include BBC and NBC and we would love to know what one is the best.

    The BBC Olympics app has been removed from the US iTunes store.  It is only available on the UK iTunes store… you need a different account to buy from the UK store.  Did NBC ask apple to throw the BBC App off the US Store???

    Its a great App…. I downloaded a week before the games started.  Now it has been removed from US store.
