Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Discovery GO at none against NHRA.tv's 2. Discovery GO also leads on ratings volume (35K vs 1.1K). NHRA.tv's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, rating, review sentiment and update cadence there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. NHRA.tv sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Discovery GO asks for nothing beyond the download.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for Discovery GO against 4.6 for NHRA.tv. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Discovery GO has 35K ratings behind it against 1.1K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 37% and 38% positive.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and November 2, 2026 respectively.
