DrillBoard spotlighted in Windows Store

 

Very excited to see that DrillBoard's first tablet version has just been spotlighted in the Windows Store.

 

It's great to see the DrillBoard logo sitting alongside the Football Association and ESPN.

 

Built for Windows 8, the app syncs with DrillBoard desktop on PC and Mac, so coaches can work across multiple devices and share drills and sessions with other coaches, players and parents on those devices as well. 



 

 

This is an early taste of some ambitious plans coming together, as well as a forerunner to full integration on iPad and Android.

We've come a long way, yet it still feel like early days, so we're buzzed to get such a big endorsement, especially following on top of DrillBoard's success winning a World Series Award  at Cloud Computing World last year.

DrillBoard subscribers can download the Windows 8 version for free. Click here to visit the Windows Store.
