Strackify (Built for Android)

• This repository contains the work done for developing the Strackify (Sports Tracking) app using data obtained from the SportsDB API.

• This project is aimed at providing users with a way to manage a number of their favorite teams and their events at the press of a click, just like you would in a story now-a-days present on any social platform.

This app is in the idea stage. Ideas, criticisim, suggestions are always welcome. Feel free to provide feedback on the play store.
