### 3/5 — Shabby

*2026-07-17, version 7.7.1*

A great app when it actually lets you read what’s going on but if you don’t get to read it when it’s just come out then you have to wait days for it to come back online. Less than useless. And we pay for this too🤨

It opens but does not load

### 5/5 — Comprehensive

*2023-01-26, version 6.32*

One of the best overall formula 1 apps

### 3/5 — Questionable Headlines

*2022-12-07, version 6.30*

I have noticed headlines that doesn’t match the articles. I have also noticed re-purposed portions in a few articles. This reads more like a gossip column

The information provided is accurate, succinct and timely. It’s my first “go to” for F1.

**Developer response:** Many thanks for the support and positive feedback. 🙏🏻

### 5/5 — Definitely Recommend

*2022-10-24, version 6.24*

If you want F1 news I would definitely recommend this App. 

I have been using this app for several years now without any issues at all. 
Thats impressive

### 4/5 — GP Guide

*2022-09-08, version 6.24*

Concise and accurate

### 5/5 — solid app

*2022-08-07, version 6.23*

i recommend checking it out. it has been useful for finding the inevitable interesting random stat you’re wondering about during a GP weekend. they seem to have a pretty wide range of stuff you can look up. the news section is also solid.

i got an annual subscription to try it — we’ll see if i keep it after the first year. will update later. overall, pretty impressed. 🤘👍

### 5/5 — The Answers to Every Formula 1 Question

*2022-04-06, version 6.20*

The app is unbelievable! Every answer to every Formula 1 question that anyone has. I've been following Formula 1 since the days of Jimmy Clark (1960-1967) and have never seen such a complete data base. To the developers: Thanks

### 5/5 — Brilliant !!

*2021-10-11, version 6.18*

Wow !!   To now have GPGuide native on macOS is just brilliant !!  All that data and content ... now easily available on a bigger screen.

### 5/5 — F1 Fans - must have app

*2021-08-23, version 6.16*

I cannot praise this app more highly. I believe that I first subscribed when it became available on IOS and was also available for the MAC. Unfortunately hacking issues and pure copying caused a removal from the MAC platform but now it's back!
By far the most comprehensive F1 data and statistics available to the F1 Fan (other databases are aimed at journalists and broadcasters and are not available to the public). Statistics and race data are updated almost in real time and the F1 news section on the home page is an excellent summary of all that is interesting in F1 circles. 5 Stars!

### 1/5 — Will not work

*2023-07-05, version 6.36*

Didn’t mind paying to use the app, but when you pay for a year, and since the following after payment, it stopped working.
Can’t contact on support, and paid for year, and got 12 hours use.
Do not waste your money

### 1/5 — Could be great but it’s not

*2022-07-22, version 6.23*

Was really excited to get this app , however upon purchase it has done nothing but disappoint , news feed is ok when you can get into app how we doesn’t load majority of times I go to look and the whole app crashes when their is a update on iOS , keep working on this to get right and you will build a large client base but currently I won’t renew

### 1/5 — Nick

*2019-09-25, version 5.6*

Had lots of issues with the app not opening  unless on WiFi and even then it only occasionally works, had this issue for a few years, on iOS.

### 1/5 — Not free anymore.

*2019-02-10, version 4.4*

Downloaded the app. Everything on it is hidden behind a paywall.. Thanks but no thanks..

### 1/5 — Rubbish

*2018-08-31, version 4.4*

Going to delete after writing this. Had for free for a while then had to pay for every single crumb of info. 
This does nothing a quick google search can’t do.

### 1/5 — Non funziona bene!

*2018-06-15, version 4.4*

Purtroppo da molti mesi nn funziona piu bene e tutto malgrado l alto costo.. per esempio le vittorie pneumatici motori e tant altro.

### 1/5 — Absolute rip-off!

*2018-01-07, version 4.3*

Why to developers feel it is right to introduce a subscription model AFTER you have paid for the app and access to the content.

I will simply delete the app and urge all of you to do the same. 

Greedy, very very greedy!

### 1/5 — M.

*2017-08-30, version 4.2*

Depuis la dernière mise à jour, l'application ne fonctionne plus!!!

### 1/5 — Stopped working

*2017-08-29, version 4.2*

Really?... after collecting annually fee to use it, now they don't support the app?

### 1/5 — App has ceased to function

*2017-08-27, version 4.2*

Title says it all.

I would add a biggest news of each year tab to go along with the stats, but honestly 5 star app!
