### 1/5 — Buggy app with an MIA developer

*2024-06-09*

Man, I want to like this app so much but it is just full of bugs and half-baked features. Team radio doesn’t work. Live Activities don’t work. Sometimes live race positions show up and sometimes they don’t.  Scrolling completely freezes up on live positions and starts scrolling at about 1fps. There’s no explanation of what does or does not require a subscription. 

I tried deleting and re-installing with zero luck. I tried subscribing to Pro for a month hoping maybe some of the broken features needed Pro to work right- still didn’t work. I tried emailing the developer using the in-app support link, with no reply. I tried tweeting at the developer, with no reply.  After scrolling through his social media it seems like he’s more interested in working on another app now that uses AI to summarize news articles (???) and trying to get hired by Apple. 

Save your money and look elsewhere. This app has so much potential but with zero support and a buggy feature set it’s not worth the time to download.

### 1/5 — Bad functions and even does not allow refund

*2024-03-03*

No useful functions to view each race details at all. And does not allow refund, interest. Do not waste your money.

**Developer response:** Hi there,

Thank you for the constructive feedback. All of the issues have now been resolved with the latest update, and the app should work in its entirety with full functionality now.

Thanks,
Shihab

### 1/5 — Load of Junk

*2024-03-02*

This app doesn’t show anything other than public information like an add for F1 tickets or merch.  Pro subscription doesn’t do anything and the developer is not responsive.  Do not waste your time or money on this app.

**Developer response:** Hi there,

Thank you for the constructive feedback. All of the issues have now been resolved with the latest update, and the app should work in its entirety with full functionality now.

Thanks,
Shihab

### 1/5 — Asking to upgrade to pro every time app is opened

*2023-11-02*

I’m more than willing to pay for a quality app but bringing up a screen to upgrade to pro every time the app is opened is just not an experience that’s going to make me pay up. Feels scammy.

**Developer response:** Hi there,

Thank you for the constructive feedback. I shall take this onboard.

Thanks,
Shihab

### 1/5 — Full of unfortunate bugs

*2023-10-09*

This is a beautifully designed app. I bought the pro version immediately after seeing John Gruber mention it, and have been disappointed ever since. Notifications don’t work consistently. Live Activities don’t work consistently. During the Qatar race yesterday, the app kept telling me that the race would start in negative time (eg 30 min after start it told me the race started in -30 minutes). I have filed multiple bug reports via email and gotten no response from the developer. I have also tried asking for support on Twitter with no luck. Just a terrible experience overall.

**Developer response:** Hi there,

Thank you for the constructive feedback. All of the issues have now been resolved with the latest update, and the app should work in its entirety with full functionality now.

Thanks,
Shihab

### 1/5 — Looks great, but doesn’t work

*2023-07-23*

This app is very well designed, however the notifications before the race don’t work and the “live” timings don’t update without force quitting the app and restarting it. Even when the app is open, the map number will randomly jump around during a race. Even though the app looks good, it is nonfunctional to keep track of timing

**Developer response:** Hi there,

Thank you for the feedback. This was due to a timezone issue in the app, which has since been resolved.

Thank you,
Shihab

### 3/5 — When it works, it’s excellent.

*2024-03-01*

Yesterday, I was able to review the practice results for the Bahrain GP. Today, after qualifying, I can’t see the results of qualifying or any of the practice sessions that were shown yesterday. I don’t know what makes it work sometimes and not others, but I like it when it does.

### 3/5 — Notifications don’t work (May 2023)

*2023-05-30*

The event/race alert feature doesn’t work. I used the “30 minutes before event” button. I checked that my notifications settings were correct. No notifications. I want to like this app (free version) but this feature needs to be fixed.

**Developer response:** Hi there,

Thank you for the feedback. This was due to a timezone issue in the app, which has since been resolved.

Thank you,
Shihab

### 5/5 — The best designed Formula 1 app out there

*2024-03-19*

This app helps you experience formula 1 in ways you had not thought about! Really well done and one of the best experiences I ever had using an app in iOS.

**Developer response:** Hi there,  

Thank you for the very kind feedback.  

Thanks,  
Shihab

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2024-03-03*

I’ve been looking for a free app that has Apple Watch complications they are pretty standard and don’t show that many things but it’s all I need.

**Developer response:** Hi there,

Thank you for the very kind feedback.

Thanks,

### 5/5 — banger… i love beautiful design

*2023-05-20*

paywalling the standings is kinda wack but besides that the app is amazing and a real looker. i’ll probably get pro at some point because it’s just so much better than the actual F1 app

**Developer response:** Hi there,

Thank you for the great feedback. I have dropped the price across the board, hope this helps!

Thank you,
Shihab
