Sometimes it’ll flash on for a second. ### 3/5 — My review *2025-05-19* It’s good but a lot of it is the pro thing so it’s not too good if you are poor ### 2/5 — It’s good BUT *2025-04-25* It doesn’t update to the current race going on! Yes it’s aesthetic and looks nice for phones however it is never updated to the current rate or the points are not right! ### 2/5 — Broken??? *2025-04-19* It appears white and doesn’t work. ### 2/5 — Review *2025-04-17, version 2025.2.0* Most widgets cost money ### 3/5 — 2025 Season? *2025-03-16, version 2024.24.0* This app was very good for the 2024 f1 season but now it is broken and does not work still wondering if it will get an update ### 3/5 — Won’t update *2025-03-13* This is a good app. I’ve been using the widgets for a while but ever since the end of the last season the Abu Dhabi gp times have been stuck on my screen and won’t update. Which is very disappointing considering I’ve paid for the premium version. Hopefully it fixes because the widget that broke is my favorite one. It’s the one where it shows fp1, 2, 3, quali, and race time! Hopefully this gets fixed considering the season is in 2 days ### 1/5 — Outdated *2025-03-12, version 2024.24.0* Can’t believe it’s race week and I paid $5 for 2024 info ### 1/5 — Need to update for 2025 *2025-03-09, version 2024.24.0* I will give you more stars if you update for 2025. Lame if you waste this app due to not updating ### 1/5 — Outdated *2025-02-26, version 2024.24.0* Outdated 🤷‍♂️ ### 3/5 — It’s nice *2024-11-30* I purchased the premium version, but the timing is still incorrect. For me, it’s an hour behind, which is quite inconvenient since it’s not displaying the correct time. I hope this issue is resolved soon. ### 3/5 — Great when it works *2024-09-15* I love the design and layout of this app, but it gets stuck on the Canadian GP race more often than not. I have the PRO version which is super frustrating since I paid to know about the upcoming races, but I still have to look up practice and race times for at least the last three races. I’ve deleted and reinstalled the app several times to try and fix the issue, but it does not work. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Broken *2026-06-06* App worked for 3 weeks then broke. Is stuck on Azerbaijan in Sept as the next race - won’t update ### 1/5 — Big Widget with themes *2025-10-10* App was amazing until the themes for icons came along, where gadget started to turn full white with nothing readable… please fix ### 1/5 — Does not work with tints *2025-03-30* Overall functionality is iffy, with the beginning of the 2025 season it took until the 2nd GP for it to be up to date, and the widgets just become solid colours when you set a tint on your Home Screen. This is a deal breaker for me but I could see how people might be okay with this. Just don’t see this being something that would be difficult to fix, so unless they update it to work, I definitely don’t recommend this. ### 1/5 — You really had to make almost everything paid now huh? *2025-03-18* Like the driver standings. ### 1/5 — Not updating *2025-03-16* App hasn’t updated since 2024 season. Seems like good info. Still will adjust rating if app updates. Make sure not to purchase premium for now. ### 1/5 — No updated *2025-03-15* The app still not showing Australia even though it is this weekend! Still stuck on round 24 of 2024 season ### 1/5 — No 2025 data or update? *2025-03-15* It seems this app is void of 2025 season - wanted my money ### 1/5 — Buggy and not good *2025-03-14, version 2024.24.0* Waste of money. App is stuck in the last season. Support/developers ignored my email for help. ### 1/5 — 2025 season? *2025-03-14* Where is it? I paid and used this app for years but we have a race weekend and it still showing last years race ### 1/5 — Hasn’t updated in months *2025-03-13* The app is still to this day saying Barhain was 374 days ago, it’s still on the 2024 calendar and hasn’t updated to the 2025 season when it’s as simple as changing the dates of the tracks ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — 2025? *2025-03-16* the 2025 season has already started. when is it going to be updated? I paid for pro this year … ### 5/5 — Tolle App! *2025-03-14* Ich habe viel Spaß und finde den Rennkalender super praktisch. Wird es für die 2025 Version ebenfalls einen Zeitplan geben? ### 5/5 — Tolle App für F1 Fans *2025-02-19* Wann kommt ein Update für die Saison 25? ### 5/5 — 10/10 *2025-02-01* Amazing app and does work for free, not as many options but still works! Just waiting for it to update for the new season ### 5/5 — . *2024-08-07* All the best widgets for your phone are all premium , and purple pro and all that so it’s good but it would be better with Better ones free ### 5/5 — Clean functional *2023-06-21* Really like the app😌 ### 5/5 — Gute App, auch kostenlos benutzbar *2023-03-27* Die Widgets sind gut und man kann sie auch kostenlos nutzen nicht so wie andere Apps wo man fast gar nichts ohne ein Abo machen kann. Aber Pro zu kaufen lohnt Sicherheit auf jeden Fall 👍🏻 ### 5/5 — Purple sector *2022-08-29* Great app! It helps me stay on track on what is going on in Formula one ### 4/5 — iOS app colours *2025-10-25* This app was very good for the 2024 f1 season but now it is broken and does not work with the iOS 26 app icon change still wondering if it will get an update ### 4/5 — Pro version *2025-06-12* I love this app because it gives me widgets for F1, but if it was free it would make it so much better because I have the free version and I can’t customize anything and I’m missing half of the widgets. Please make it free🙏🙏🙏 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
