Spoiler Headlines!

Just opened the F1 TV app to watch the race from less than a week ago and was greated by learning who won. They just ruined the race for me.

Great App! Amazing, but….

Crashes all the time after the last update!

Fix and will get 5 Stars!

Absolute Garbage

There should be an option for zero stars.

Purchased the pro whilst in Singapore, can’t stream live.

Absolute waste of money.

Proceed with caution.

Rubbish app and waste of money.

Starts race at the end

Many times I start watching the race the video starts with the announcement of who won the race. This is so bad. I have kept myself from knowing the race finish order, only to start watching and unable to restart until the announcement has been blasted out. Please make an option when starting a race to not start at the end. Why would this happen. I started hours after the race. This happened at the Singapore GP.

F1 Love

It is wonderful having an app that allows one to watch one’s favorite race when not at home!

Scrubbing and streaming often problematic

If you pause or try to rewind then the app often freezes. Or you start a video and pick “start from beginning”, it will often jump to live anyway.
The most problematic streaming app I have ever tried.

Horrible when casting to TV

When using the iPhone app to cast to a new LG G6 TV, you have to try multiple times to get the stream going. Seeking within the stream is also troublesome.

Spoiler alert

How frustrating to be watching a race behind ‘live’ and get “LIVE” updates. So 30 minutes left to the race and I see who wins in the updates. This dev team needs to wake up

Access to content

I travel lots and use this app while on the road. Well in recent years it will not allow it to play in hotels when connected to the tv unless I am in my own country. This is very aggravating!

Great content, miserable player

The content available here is an F1 fan’s dream, especially for someone new to the sport (like me). The archives are fun to watch and help me understand how cars have evolved and how careers progressed. Tech Talk is great to understand the cars and the work that goes into them. The races this season allow us to watch from different cars with their on-board audio feed. The bonus content is meh but better than watching ads on the Apple TV app.
All that said, the player is miserable. It crashes frequently and switching between car perspectives and the broadcast is inefficient at best. And if you cast it on your tv, you lose the ability to watch the on-board cameras. Watching from the Apple TV app works better for that purpose,

F1 no longer attractive

F1 has become boring and has nothing to do with the golden era of V10 and true racing. Pilots are mere electronic drivers and no longer heroes. F1 has been destroyed.

PiP fail

You recently added PiP (basic stuff!) and now when I use it, it changes the language to english when I’m listening, say, in Spanish. Get it right please!

Great

It’s what is advru

Glitchy

I can get YouTube, Netflix, Prime, HBO, etc to work fine. F1 TV is unwatchable because it pauses and glitches every 10-15 seconds. I desperately hope F1 goes back to YouTubeTV next season.

Que vuelva el team antiguo

Era más emocionante ver y escuchar la narración de los argentinos, por favor devolverlos

Consistent

Great app that lets me watch one of my favorite sports.

Very frustrating experience

Just constant error codes. Very occasionally I can get through an entire race without interruption, otherwise it’s a video playback error code about every 5 minutes or so, sometimes every 2 minutes, so constantly having to restart. Sometimes it doesn’t even remember the last played position so I have to scroll through. Incredibly frustrating. My WiFi speed is fine, every other streaming service works fine, just not F1TV for some reason

The video doesn’t start on time

When you click a video to watch… it should be synced up, not starting 10 minutes into it. How is this an ongoing problem?!?!

Finally they added Picture in Picture

Adding Picture in Picture makes this app the best, to rewatch and catch up with everything F1 related. Finally

Can’t watch on hotel tv

Cast and HDMI are both blocked by the app. App forces you to watch on a tiny screen.
