I used the "NDSU Bison" app (premium version for $5) from the Google Play Store all last year to stream audio of Bison games. Now, when I launch the app, a Window pops up that says I am not connected to the Internet. (I am.) It won't allow me to do anything else except click okay, which closes the app. No opportunity to change settings or refresh or anything.

Also, a search in the Google Play Store for "NDSU Bison" doesn't return anything for this app.

Anyone else have this issue? Anyone know how to stream Bison games this year via a smartphone?

NDSU changed providers and it went away with that change. Someone is working on something
called Bisontracker but I think its still in beta.

Contact NDSU with your questions.

If you are looking to stream audio for the games, you can download the FM radio app and listen via kfgo. Right?

The Bison Tracker was designed to replace the Mickey Mouse game day app. Your comparing apples to oranges

I'm not comparing it to anything. A bunch of the stuff on the app doesn't work. Maybe still being developed but cutting it close if true. No roster? Wtf?

There is a bunch more stuff on this one you can follow friends and tailgate groups sounds like they plan to add to what they have. Another cool feature is following all the bison fans with their GPS on to Kansas.. Right now have 2 from ND 1 from SD one from Florida one from Utah and another from NY!

Just use the internet on your phone and access gobison.com and it switches to the mobile version. No app to download.

That mickey mouse app was better than the app i have now. (Android)

Especially for the strobe light during the intro. How many people no longer can participate?.

Bolded is your issue... they don't have it set up for Android yet. They started with Windows phone and then Iphone. Android is suppose to be coming out later.

Lol. Thanks but i knew that. Someone was saying that the old app wasnt as good. For those of us with android...it was better than nothing which is what we have now. Trying to do the strobe at the first home game there will not be as many people participating anymore.

I just tried the Bison Game Day app and hit strobe light and it worked. That was about the only thing that still works on that app. I have an android phone.

:) you Android geeks feel so superior don't ya! I kid! I was surprised they didnt do Android before Iphone but as mentioned by someone, too many platforms to account for with Android. The app was created by a Microsoft employee so.. Blame them!

It looks like FirstRow Sports will have a free video feed up for the game:

http://firstrownow.eu/sport/american-football.html

At game time, open the link and wade through the pop-ups. Don't be tricked into downloading anything.

I'll also post this on the GDT.
