Strafe launches the world’s first esports app with Apple Watch and Android Wear support

STOCKHOLM - Sept. 22, 2015 - PRLog -- Strafe revolutionized the world of esports in 2014 with the release of the Strafe esports companion app for iOS and Android, built to let esports fans follow matches and tournaments live on their smartphones. In version 1.1 Strafe takes a new leap of innovation with initial support for wearables, a world first.

Strafe covers all major esports and display match results in a unified schedule feed. All the relevant information available, when you need it, in one place. With the release of the app for wearables like Apple Watch and Android Wear, Strafe continues its highly innovative path to make esports even more accessible to users. But version 1.1 is only the beginning.


"We’ve recruited the best app development talent available in Sweden and version 1.1. marks the first step in the journey that will help us stay in the lead of app innovation in esports,” says Robert Samuelsson, Head Of Product at Strafe.
