NFL Mobile

A pile of football scores, news and videos are what’s on offer in NFL Mobile, Verizon Wireless customers’ best way to get caught up with and stay current on everything that’s going on in the most popular sport in America. When you fire up the app, NFL Mobile asks you to choose your favorite team, and then kicks you to its home screen, where you can see featured videos and the latest scores and game summaries. Tap into the app’s main menu to see just scores or just news, as well as a page that brings up information only about your favorite team.

NFL Mobile has a lot of information and a lot of content, but it’s limited in that it’s available only to Verizon customers. It also requires a Wi-Fi connection to play videos, and the quality of those videos can drop pretty low, especially depending on your device. But those are minor issues: Where NFL Mobile excels is in keeping you up to date on everything NFL wherever you are, and for that use, you’ll get everything you need here.
