Formula 1®

I’m giving it a 5, because this app is a must have for any F1 fan, and specifically for subscribing to the live timing data when watching a race live or replaying the live timing data when watching the broadcast later. That being said, I really would prefer to give it 4.5 stars because I wish there were an option to hide race results (results are hidden on the F1TV app). Living on the West Coast of America, I don’t get to watch most races live since they’re on very early. A few times I’ve accidentally seen podium results in this app when trying to load the replay of the live timing data to watch along with the DVRd broadcast. If your an F1 fan it is 100% worth it to pay the yearly or monthly fee to be able to catch all the practices, qualifying sessions, and races, especially if your a cord cutter.

The previous version needed a little work, but generally gave you Key information on one screen during the race and qualifying: lap times, sector times, and during the race, gap to the lead, interval between drivers and the ability to turn on driver radio transmissions. The new app shows lap time, gap to lead and interval between drivers on one screen but only six max drivers at a time. With the previous app, I could see the entire field on my tablet. I have to go to a 2nd screen to see sector times (really annoying during qualy) and still can only see the top six, missing drivers who have just gone out on track and are setting competitive early sectors. Graphics and color choices are also poor and inferior tot he previous version. I also found that my “no spoiler “ alert had been reset, so when I tried signing on the app with my phone during the race I the hopes of avoiding screen switching with my tablet, I was shown the Singapore (current race) results totally ruining my enjoyment of that race. Terrible update. This should have gone to a Beta release with a representative sample of fans! I will cancel my subscription if this is not fixed- actually worse than just following broadcast. - F1 fan for over 25 years

I like using the app notifications to remind me when the race is, because in my busy life, I sometimes need that. However, if you turn on notifications, they do more than just remind you that practice, qualifying, or the race is about to begin, they also send notifications when the results are posted. Usually, they are cryptic “Come see who came out on top!” type notifications, but not this weekend. Now, as a Ferrari fan, I didn’t mind the results telling me how Ferrari was fairing in practice, as I knew I probably wasn’t going to go back and watch those—I have a busy life. However, the spoilers remained through Qualifying and the race. As someone with a F1 TV subscription so I can watch the race either when it airs, or after it ends (due to other more important engagements on Sunday’s that sometimes prevent me from watching live) I was quite peeved that the notification I received told me the race results. The banner notification should let me know that results are posted, so if I want to spoil the race for myself, I can, but not give me no option about it. After being very good for the entirety of the race and not opening timing and scoring, so I could go home and enjoy the race later, the F1 app ruined it for me. I’m deleting the app. It’s not worth it to me, and I suggest others do the same, or never download it in the first place.

I’ve tuned in to watch the beautiful data screens I’ve loved for a long time and they are gone!! They have updated the app and made massive changes. Taken away the track view showing a beautiful overall look at driver locations and substituted this amateurish screen with dots!! Took away a very detailed screen giving the viewer (us) all the data for all drivers on same screen. I could look at this view and know gaps, sector times and more all on one screen along with the track view. I was fully informed with increasing or closing gaps of all driver with a single screen, not to mention 4 other screens showing any other support information you wanted.....all gone!! They now have these simple screens. Nothing is combined...if you’re looking for anything combined like sector times and gaps....forget it...not there....you have no single way of telling who’s gaining on who! My ability to see what I want to see data wise has been taken away. I have to swap back and forth between several screens to get the same combined data you use to have last week!! You’re new version of the app is foe beginners.

It’s not just the cars that crash...so does this app. Watch none of the exciting racing with F1! Open the app..and see the excitement build as the app crashes right before your eyes letting you experience all of the imagination of what you could have seen! Simply the most awesome self experience you will witness. Now come on F1...really?? The previous timing apps were already quite good...it’s what got me hooked and showing off the cool features at track side. This year decided to go all in for the season but now cancelling because your stupid app is not working on the new iPad Pro. Seriously...do you guys test this before you release? Not to mention that navigating this app is a cobbled bit of several apps, TV, Timings, and News. Just put the whole thing in one app...seriously...you are making it way harder than it needs to be to find content...that is IF the app is working.
