No mention of the vehicles

The app has a lot of information and seems very pleased with itself.

However there is no mention of the vehicles: what they are, how they are powered nor any photos of any vehicles.

Really quite bizarre

Response from developer

Dear Bazzamataz. Thanks for your message. In the drivers section (tab menu), by clicking on each driver, you can get key infos about vehicles (brand, model, assistance, etc.). Photos should be uploaded very soon. Hope it helps. Enjoy Dakar 2023! The DAKAR team

Not currently working on my iPad Air

Not much more to say, really. Poor to release something this buggy so close to the event

Response from developer

Dear T1m60. Thanks for your message and sorry for the inconvenience. Could you please tell us if it is working better with the new version available in the store? Many thanks and enjoy Dakar2023. The Dakar team

Text need to be darker black

All the text in the app is to light in color make it hard to read

2022 And App looking very poor

First day of event and iPad app not in good order bearing in mind it had an update just a week ago. Cannot enlarge map or watch tracking of competitors. Showing UTC time which is not actual time of Saudi Arabia which then doesn’t relate to news reports timing. Go into route, or stage profile links and cannot go back, have to crash app and start again. Surely these are the basics to get right. It looks like it’s going to be a long and frustrating time unfortunately for those trying to follow and support the event. Now trying to access app on phone and can’t even get past Terms and Conditions. Just absolutely hopeless. It gets worse - their App Support just takes you to their website with no links to Support. 🤷‍♂️ Nope new version 8.1.1, fixing bugs, and it still doesn’t work. Got the cookies question to appear but that’s about it but all your hangers on aren’t going to get any of our data. Do you actually have phones you test this on? And Support link still not working.

A week on and still no fix on the iPhone. Just stuck on the Terms and Conditions page. And yes I have uninstalled and installed - twice! Don’t even get the curtesy of a reply compared to another reviewer.

Good App

Great app now that it’s working. Developer was kind enough to respond to my initial review and let me know everything was fixed. App works well and it’s easy to find all the info I need. Very pleased to be able to use this app again!

Response from developer

Hello, we had an issue on this day which have been fixed since. We hope you can now enjoy following the race on our app.

Updated Review: Great App to Track Dakar

Updated Review: The App works now and developers informed me of the problem I experienced. I have been tracking the races each day following my favorites. The app works very well and has some functions to tailor it to your liking. It is definitely a post action tracking application, but provides all information that we are looking for.

Original Review: I’m in the U.S. using an iPhone 12 and wanted to try out this app to track the 2022 race. Unfortunately it keeps saying “web services are unavailable” when you first open the app and doesn’t load anything. I have full bars of 5G and can access all of my other applications. It is definitely this app and it doesn’t work!

Web services not working, quickly fixed after reporting though.

Need to fix asap!

No cellular

Connects on Wi-Fi but buggy, does not connect to 4g but notifications are working in background. Really disappointed on day 2 of the rally
response to Developer, you are wrong it has nothing to do with my phone or provider, your media release advised you were having problems.
Nice try though to deflect.

Response from developer

Hello, We are sorry to hear that but it feels like your issues do not come from the app itself but from your phone or provider.

Map us almost unusable

Please make a full screen map

Response from developer

Hello, we will consider your suggestion.

Just doesn’t work even after reloading several times.

Worse than 2021
