An unofficial Nashville Predators app, built by a fan who was tired of opening three apps to find one score. Live scores that update while the game is on, with the box score, scoring plays and team stats underneath. A home-screen and lock-screen widget so the next game, or the current score, is one glance away. Reminders before puck drop — at game time, or 15, 30 or 60 minutes out. Your phone schedules them, so they fire whether or not you have signal. The full season by month, and standings that show the wild-card race, streaks and last-ten form, not just points. The roster with real rate stats: per game, per 60, power-play share, save percentage. Compare two skaters side by side. Follow the players you care about and they lead your Home screen. Original Predators writing and recaps, league headlines, and the club's videos. It works without signal. Anything you have already opened is on your device, and the app tells you when it is showing you something saved rather than pretending it is live. No account. No sign-in. No ads. No tracking. PredsFan is an independent fan project. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by the Nashville Predators, the National Hockey League, or their affiliates. All team names, logos and marks belong to their respective owners. Some articles are AI-assisted and are labelled where they appear.
