### 3/5 — Laggy

*2026-07-24*

Cool app to have as a McLaren fan but I wish the app focus wasn’t just on f1, also it’s very laggy, also idk if it’s my fault but how do I see what collectibles I have? Dosent feel like I’m collecting anything if I can’t see what I’m getting

### 4/5 — So close

*2026-04-16*

I love this app, is amazing, the UI, the feels of it, it’s all great, just 1 thing is missing, and that’s being able to download pictures, I love to take the pictures here and put them on my phone, but right now I have to take a screenshot and download it, it would be great to just click a button to download pictures you select or just download them all

### 2/5 — Live commentary not working

*2026-03-27*

The current version of this app is hopelessly glitchy.

### 3/5 — Live commentary

*2026-03-13*

Since the 'upgrade' the live commentary is not available until the countdown clock has finished and the session has started. So by the time we can click on Live commentary, there's 15 mins of commentary to scroll back and read. Please fix this and give us access as soon as the commentary starts.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work with iPad latest software

*2026-03-09*

When trying to upgrade states requires IOS18 or higher, latest iPad IOS is 17, so just go in a continual loop trying to upgrade.

### 3/5 — New app is so buggy

*2026-03-08*

Trying to use this for the AusGP and the main page keeps throwing errors. When you get the live commentary to eventually load, if you exit the app good luck getting it to load again without an error. Never had these issues with the last app.

### 2/5 — Hope the engineers of this app aren’t the same as the F1 cars ☹️

*2026-03-07*

Big fan of McLaren and loved the app last season - providing exclusive content, analysis and live commentary. Disappointed that with this “upgrade” the live commentary feed is not working in quali - keep getting “there was an error”. Have tried reinstalling and still doesn’t work.

### 3/5 — Miss the old version

*2026-03-06*

The new 2026 version isn’t as user friendly. One of the best things was reading the live commentary and now it seems you can’t go back and read it when a session is no longer live. I eventually found where it would be, wasn’t easy to locate, and then all it said was the session was over. Despite having a drop down menu for each session they were all just blank. Not ideal for people living in countries that can’t necessarily watch every session live and want to catch up later. I will try and remain hopeful there’s just some bugs being worked out in the system and keep checking. What are the chances someone actually reads this?..

### 3/5 — Need a fix ASAP

*2026-03-06*

I have loved using this app for years to get live mclaren race commentary. Now with the update for the first race of the year commentary is broken. Please update again asap!!!

### 3/5 — Amazing but now incompatible

*2026-03-03*

i love this app but the new update made it incompatible with my iphone 

i am stuck on ios 15.8 so both the mclaren app and the f1 app are now incompatible
