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. ### 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 ### 2/5 — Trying to sign up *2025-07-03, version 3.12.4* I have been trying to sign up with McLaren racing app it does not work for iPhone! Please fix this! I want to buy things and enter promotions! For years I have been restricted to do so.. ### 4/5 — Baz *2024-11-03, version 3.11.3* Can you make the app able to ‘landscape’ ### 5/5 — 5 stars *2024-08-18* Easy to navigate, looks cool, informative. Not much to say, its a good app and I’ve been using it quite frequently. 5 stars. ### 5/5 — Amazing *2024-07-06* I love everything about this app and the team! Does a really good job of getting behind the scenes clips and photos to get you hyped up. Only issue is that the alerts spoil the race for you if your not able to watch it live. All in all though if is a great app ### 5/5 — McLaren Top 3 Formula One 2024 *2024-05-30* With best regards, Lobanov Roman ### 5/5 — 100th review *2024-05-22, version 3.10.5* 100!!!!!!! ### 2/5 — Spoiler notification’s *2024-05-19* Nice app but the admin is useless. Two wild in a row spilling the race for those that cannot watch live. How about sending spoiler safe notification’s???????!!!!!! ### 3/5 — Idioma *2024-01-27, version 3.10.3* Lo unico que pido es que este en mas idiomas, que este por ejemplo en español ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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. ### 1/5 — Upgrade prompt blocks app *2025-06-27* Opened app and it promoted for upgrade, but blocked app being used until you upgrade. This is awful UX. I don’t want to upgrade apps until I choose to (eg on WiFi not data) and don’t like being held to ransom and forced to upgrade. I bet the upgrade isn’t that good either, and the old version is still obviously working below the upgrade dialog. ### 1/5 — Bring back Twitter Feed *2024-05-06, version 3.10.4* Who cares about IG. ### 1/5 — Can’t report problems with app *2023-05-07* Not been working tonight. Won’t work on any device we try and can’t report the problem via the apple web site either. Sometimes app loads and immediately goes to a black screen. Other times just get the blank/black screen. ### 1/5 — Can’t even sign up *2021-09-20, version 3.5.0* I tried to sign into the account with the verification email it sends but every time it just redirects me to the email input page again on the app. I’ve tried this three times with the same outcome. ### 1/5 — Can‘t confirm my profile *2021-09-20, version 3.5.0* I‘d love to create a profile on this app, but although I created an account, got the confirmation email and confirmed it on the same device withe opened in the app, I always get to the landing page and can‘t confirm. Too bad!!! ### 1/5 — Issues *2019-08-31, version 3.1.2* Would love to use this app but every time I try to open the app I have to wait for a email with a code,what’s going on ? I have registered but this doesn’t help.Update after Update this app still doesn’t work for me as I am still unable to access it.It should be easy to use this app to receive information from the team but why oh why is it so impossible to use. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2019-08-04* I get a welcome screen then a loading ring for ever. Disappointed. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work for me. *2019-07-25* The app asks you to confirm registration via email on your mobile device. When I try to do so, I get a message telling me that I must be trying to confirm on a computer (desktop/laptop). Has anyone else suffered the same issue? ### 1/5 — Can’t register *2019-07-21, version 3.0.1* I can’t register. It says im clicking on verification link from my computer, even tho i’m on my iphone Xr (???) ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Fantastic *2026-02-22* The 4.0 update has made this the best f1 app by far. It’s fast, smooth and has loads of F1 info, whether you’re a McLaren fan or not ### 5/5 — Perfect App!!! *2025-12-28* This app has all of the features you could want. It’s essentially social media, but gives you all of the updates, announcements, and fun little stories you could ever want. The schedule is highly useful, (especially as I do not live too close to any of the races) and the interesting quizzes, poles, and activities embedded into the app. Go Lando, McLaren world champion, and go McLaren app! ### 5/5 — The Ultimate App for McLaren F1 Fans! *2025-10-05, version 3.12.5* This app is hands down the best for any McLaren Formula 1 fan. The design is clean, fast, and super easy to use. I love how it gives exclusive content, live race coverage, and behind-the-scenes moments you won’t find anywhere else. The AI-powered race recaps and detailed insights make every race weekend even more exciting. Honestly, this app makes me want to experience Formula 1 in real life more than ever—especially in Las Vegas. Seeing the cars fly by under the Vegas lights would be a dream come true. You can really feel McLaren’s passion and energy through this app. It’s a must-have if you follow F1—nothing comes close! 🧡🏎️🔥 ### 5/5 — Amazing *2025-07-27* This app helps with every information ### 5/5 — McLaren app review *2025-07-25, version 3.12.5* Great updates when I am not watching it the McLaren app keep me updated.brilliant pictures .love the talks from drivers and engineers and team principals ### 5/5 — Papaya fan’s dream! *2025-07-24* Love the inside content and commentary.
