NFL Mobile review

NFL Mobile offers the same mix of media content, stats, and game center that other sports apps feature, but has a rather slow navigation and requires an upgrade for live video content.

Pros

Helps you track your favorite team: NFL Mobile lets you choose your favorite team and then ensures that you receive push notifications with the latest news and scores. You also get a whole page dedicated to your team, which you can access by tapping on its name on the main screen.

Handy when you're on the go: Keeping up with matches, scores, drafts, injuries, and intrigues in the bustling National Football League can be tough, but this app manages to bring you all that info in an accessible format.

Engaging fantasy game: The built-in fantasy game is great fun in the breaks between games and comes with useful research tools such as Trends and Projections. Putting it down won't be easy.

Cons

App demands your location: If you don't set your location during the quick initial setup, you'll be asked for it whenever you try to play a video. What's worse is that when traveling to a foreign country, you may not be able to watch some videos.

Slow at times: The app features lots of images and videos and has a rather long menu with plenty of submenus, which make it rather slow, especially on a smartphone. What's worse is that it also drains the battery, eating up as much as seven percent of it in 20 minutes.

Bottom Line

If you're a football fan, you can't miss NFL Mobile. It boasts plenty of content and a pleasing design, and although the navigation and accessibility could be improved, it's still great fun. What's more, it doesn't use aggressive in-app marketing ploys to make you buy live content or gear as other sports apps do.
