Car buyers can get real-time advice from a few good mobile apps, as today’s App Smart column points out.
But if you just love cars, CarBuzz is much more your speed.
CarBuzz, which is free on Android and Apple, is an auto magazine that’s exclusively for mobile devices. It’s updated daily with automotive short articles and glossy photos of good quality.
YouTube videos appear when appropriate, as with a Porsche-produced piece on the new 911. And if you’re so moved, you can submit comments on an article or read through those from other readers.
You can scan the app according to your brand preferences, but if automotive history is your thing, don’t expect much. Keeping with the Porsche theme, for instance, the app is top heavy with news about new models and tuning packages, but it ignores outdated models like the 356 or the 912.
Still, the new-car world leaves a lot of ground to cover, and CarBuzz covers it nicely. For a free app that has no ads – at least yet – it’s a treat for car lovers.
