The BBC has launched its London 2012 Olympics app for both Android and Apple mobile phones.

People from all over the world will be able to keep up to date with the action, as well as taking advantage of catch-up coverage and highlights throughout the Games.

Users will be able to access daily live text commentaries, news stories and a detailed schedule of events for the whole competition.

The Games will be kicking off on Friday July 27th with the Opening Ceremony, even though the football tournament will begin on July 25th.

General manager of BBC News & Knowledge Phil Fearnley said the news provider needed to try and make sure that its coverage was accessible all over the world.

"The BBC Sport Olympics app ensures that everything you need to keep up-to-date with the action is right there at your fingertips. The app adds even greater value to the BBC Sport mobile experience" he continued.
