Sports-connected Firm Under Armour Splash out on Two Fitness Apps


(Digital Marketing Agency, thesnsgroup.com)- Under Armour Inc., which dislodged Adidas as the No. 2 sports footwear and clothing brand in the United States by sales, behind Nike Inc., has recently announced its deals for two mobile apps for roughly $560 million as the company is trying to create the world's largest digital health and fitness community.
Regarding terms of the deals, $475 million will be paid for MyFitnessPal, a free app for tracking food habits and caloric intake, while a further $85 million will go to Endomondo, a Danish firm which describes itself as "the personal trainer in your pocket."
In 2013, Under Armour bought MapMyFitness, an app to virtually track fitness workouts.
