NASCAR Mobile '13 for Android

Nascar Mobile '13 brings you full coverage of America's hottest racing league, plunging you in the middle of the action with fantastic features like live feeds from in-car cameras, live crew conversations, and real-time car positioning on a virtual track. To enjoy it to the fullest, however, you have to pay -- many features are premium.

Pros

Great live race center: Nascar Mobile '13's live race center provides a wonderful experience with its in-car cameras and RaceBuddy, a premium feature previously offered only by the official website. The real-time leaderboards and track mapping are great for when you're on the go and can't watch the races on TV.

Live access to driver audio: For $3.99 a month you can get in-car driver audio as well as race broadcast radio and official radio -- hot features if you're a big Nascar fan.

Rich content: It's easier to check standings, view driver records, or discover tracks with this app than by visiting the official website.

Cons

Crowded interface: On a tablet, the app packs onscreen video previews, upcoming races, your favorite driver standings, schedules, and also a menu at the top of the screen and a banner at the bottom, which take up precious screen space. This is all too overwhelming for the user.

Only Sprint users get it free: Only Sprint customers can enjoy the premium features for free.

Bottom Line

Nascar Mobile '13 delivers on its promise of bringing you the best of Nascar on your tablet. If you love racing, you should definitely check out this app. The smartphone version, on the other hand, isn't as developed and could do with more work.
