### 3/5 — Good, but don’t love payments.

*2025-06-27*

I like this app, but it does annoy me seeing that I have to pay to actually get it to do things. I did not see it in the app description (may be my fault) but regardless, the payment is a bit stupid. Nevertheless I like this app.

**Developer response:** Appreciate the honest take. The subscription funds the live data and ongoing development — a completely rebuilt app ships in the next update, which we hope makes the value clearer. Thanks for sticking with us.

### 3/5 — Tolle App

*2025-06-15, version 1.5.4*

Alle Startzeiten des Rennwochendes dabei.
Kein Suchen nötig.
Update
Startzeiten sind jetzt irgendwie Lokal angesagt, finde den Fehler.
Qualifying Ergebnisse sind anscheinend per Automation sortiert und nicht überprüft.
Also eher unbrauchbar.

### 2/5 — Times are off

*2025-06-02*

Great when it works, but all the times are off by 1 hour with no fix in sight.

**Developer response:** You were right about the times — sorry about that. The 2026 season update is live, and the next update ships a rebuilt app with reworked time handling (local + track time). Thanks for your patience.

### 4/5 — Startzeiten

*2025-05-21, version 1.5.4*

Passen überhaupt nicht.
Man sollte den aktuellen Standort berücksichtigen um das Rennen nicht zu verpassen,so sind die Angaben hier Roulette.
Sonst gefällt mir die App super.

### 3/5 — Started off great

*2025-05-02*

My issue is, when I downloaded the app, everything was fine and the times were accurate when viewing my widgets. Now for whatever reason the time is off by an hour and the language on the widget isn’t English how it started.

**Developer response:** Sorry about that — the time handling drifted, and that was on us. The 2026 season update is live now, and the next update ships a rebuilt app with a reworked local/track time display. We'd love for you to give it another look.

### 2/5 — Too many bugs

*2025-04-23, version 1.5.4*

And no one seems to reply to bug reports.

### 2/5 — incorrect data

*2025-03-25*

Vision Pro App still showing 2024 races, no sign of 2015. Incorrect data from last race (still showing disqualified drivers in positions). Not sure there’s enough care and attention being given. Looks pretty though.

**Developer response:** Sorry about that — stale data was exactly the problem. The 2026 season update is live now with current data across the app, and a completely rebuilt app ships in the next update. If Vision Pro still misbehaves after updating, please reach us via the in-app support link.

### 2/5 — Widgets/live activity do not update

*2025-03-23*

So much potential but the data does not update in the widgets nor the live activity, which effectively makes having those features pretty useless.

**Developer response:** Thanks for the detailed report — the widget and Live Activity data feed had gone stale with the old season, which the 2026 season update addresses. A completely redesigned app ships in the next update. If anything still misbehaves, reach us via the in-app support link.

### 2/5 — Data seems delayed, still shows 2024 races

*2025-02-18, version 1.5.1*

Amended review due to outdated data

### 3/5 — Premium not worth it…. Yet

*2024-10-27*

The app is very hit and miss. Most of the time the Driver team radio doesn’t work. If I go to previous races the radio is fine but try loading the audio on a current race and it just does nothing when you press play. 

The app is also very data hungry. It used over 20GB of data in less than 1 hour.

### 3/5 — Potential

*2024-07-31*

This has potential but doesn’t really work. No live data. Quali live widget is just blank lap 0 no fastest or splits etc. Same as the magic island no data. In the app itself quali doesnt show anything, you select live and it doesn’t have a screen or anything no live standings no tyre selection nothing. Would also be nice if the large widget updated to live positions and times. During the race the app does show times, messages and radio but didn’t work during quali. (Probably more important to me as it’s something I may not be able to watch as closely.) Further update. Unveliveably delayed widget. Currently lap 30 on tv and widget shows lap 11 leader which is clearly wrong. Live items in the app are slow to load if they load at all, no way to refresh them.

Reply from the developer, I will increase my score after the next break if appropriate, thanks team.

**Developer response:** Hey! We had some issues with our Data Provider last week which should now be resolved, note for obvious reasons the F1 Data Provider is not *as* live as when watching on Sky Sports. If you drop us an email I'll be happy to assist with anything you need

### 1/5 — Don’t purchase in 2026

*2026-05-05*

Developer seems to have abandoned the app. No updates for the season are coming through.

**Developer response:** Fair criticism — the app fell behind at the start of the season, and that was on us. It's not abandoned: the full 2026 season update is live now (schedule, results, standings, widgets), and a completely redesigned app ships in the next update. We'd love for you to give it another look.

### 1/5 — Raging

*2026-03-29*

App stuck on 2025 season and only updated information is the news. £19.99 for a years pro membership wasted.

**Developer response:** Totally fair — the app fell behind at the start of the season, and that's exactly what you paid for it not to do. The full 2026 update is live now (schedule, results, standings, widgets), and a completely redesigned app ships next. We'd genuinely love to win back your trust — if anything still feels off, reach us via the support link in the app and we'll sort it.

### 1/5 — App still hasn’t been updated almost 3 races into the new season.

*2026-03-24*

Functionally useless now. Still showing 2025 standings and info despite being now in 2026!

**Developer response:** You were right to call this out — falling behind mid-season was on us. The full 2026 update is live now: current schedule, standings, results and widgets. A completely redesigned app ships in the next update. Thanks for your patience.

### 1/5 — It takes light years to get real almost on time results from races.

*2025-11-22*

Get yourself another app fellas, deleting this one. Trust me it’s a no go.

**Developer response:** Fair hit — live data was too slow. The 2026 season update is live now, and the next update ships a completely rebuilt app with a new live-timing engine: positions, gaps, sectors and tyres in real time. We'd love another shot.

### 1/5 — Bugs

*2025-10-22, version 1.5.4*

Bugs bugs and more bugs. The app is effectively dead as there’s been no update in 6 months. Don’t bother installing this rubbish.

### 1/5 — No support whatsoever! Widgets outdated

*2025-03-24*

Guys?

You never answer emails? What’s the point of your support?

The most important info it’s outdated and incorrect……showing only 2024 info except for the coming race. 🤦🏻

### 1/5 — Offers nothing

*2024-07-29*

Thought I’d be able to track the sessions live and listen to the radio as advertised. But alas not. Looks pretty and can look at previous race results and that’s it. Don’t waste you time.

Got a reply from the developer with a suggested solution but doesn’t work.  Must be an issue with just iOS.

**Developer response:** Hello. You can do exactly that! Tap onto the ongoing sessions and you'll get live tracking and radio. 🙂

### 2/5 — Update for 2026

*2026-06-06*

Developer needs to update app for 2026

**Developer response:** You were right — and it's done. The full 2026 season update is live: current schedule, results, standings and widgets are all up to date, and a completely redesigned app ships in the next update. Thanks for the nudge, and for your patience.

### 2/5 — Don’t install

*2026-05-03*

App is whatever. Don’t use though. It’s doesn’t work

**Developer response:** Sorry it let you down. The app fell behind earlier this season — the full 2026 update is live now, and a completely rebuilt app ships in the next update. If something specific still doesn't work, the in-app support link reaches us directly.

### 2/5 — App not updating to next race

*2026-03-17*

It was a good app but the race seems to be stuck at the Australia GP. The widget doesn't quite fit on the iPhone screen so you miss some information.

**Developer response:** You were right — the app was stuck, and that was on us. The full 2026 season update is live now: schedule, results, standings and widgets are all current again. A completely rebuilt app ships in the next update. Thanks for your patience.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2025-03-09*

very good app tells you the times of the sessions your general data about the tracks and a wide range of choices for the different widgets so thank you for the great app!

**Developer response:** Thank you! A completely rebuilt app ships in the next update — even more to like soon. Enjoy the season!

### 5/5 — Wonderful

*2024-10-25*

Really well thought out app, a must have for the F1 fan

### 5/5 — Fantastic App

*2024-10-06*

After installing this app, I could get rid of the official Formula One app. The UI and implementation of the app is amazing. I can get all the information within one or two clicks. Although surprisingly, the widgets from this app need a better UI. The massive button at the bottom is quite off putting. I wish they could make the widgets more modern and with a better font.

**Developer response:** That's the goal — thank you! A completely rebuilt app ships in the next update. Enjoy the season!

### 5/5 — Wonderful

*2024-09-22*

Really well thought out app, a must have for an F1 fan

### 5/5 — Love this app! Thank ü

*2024-08-25, version 1.4*

I just hope you also put the tires and fastest lap in the live action

### 5/5 — Best f1 app it has everything !!!

*2024-07-27*

Best f1 app. I don’t review apps but this is a work of art.

**Developer response:** 'A work of art' — thank you! A completely rebuilt app ships in the next update; we think you'll love it.

### 5/5 — A must for any f1 fan,it’s much more than a simple widgets app too…

*2024-07-26*

I’m totally loving this app which has quite a bit going for it especially seeing as it’s on offer at present on App Advice today and App Ravern yesterday which is when I got it. Has a few slick icons and widgets as you’d expect but a ton of other features that really do make this take the chequered flag. 

F1 apps are usually ad driven tripe or by team only and never the team you want,I stick with BBC sports mostly for all my f1 news. Now I’ll also have this app via a widget or a nice icon. Beats the old days of a broken timings app that cost a kings ransom lol…

Thanks to the dev on the offer of a bonafide winner and I really hope to see this grow so it is a lifetime offer - I have cancer anyway so don’t think I’ll have many more seasons in me but the few I do get will be more enjoyable with apps like this! 🫡

🏆🏁🏎️💨🚥

**Developer response:** Thank you for the wonderful write-up! A completely rebuilt app ships in the next update — the chequered-flag standard stays. Enjoy the season!

### 5/5 — Best F1 App!

*2024-07-25*

Has everything you need, the widgets look great too

**Developer response:** Thank you! Even better widgets and a completely rebuilt app ship in the next update. Enjoy the season!

### 5/5 — might be the best f1 widget out there

*2024-07-25, version 1.1*

this definitely gonna help me keep track on f1!

### 4/5 — Good, but watch app is broken

*2025-10-03*

As mentioned in the title, I really like the app, I think it’s good, well-designed, etc., however, I primarily downloaded it for the watch app, but, unfortunately, it doesn’t work. When you click on one of the races, and start scrolling through the results, at a certain point (different for each race) the app will just close suddenly, meaning that you can’t see the rest of the results. For example, in Australia, when you scroll to Russell in p3, the app will close, meaning you can’t see the rest of the results. This is incredibly annoying, but I would love to see athletes fix soon! Thanks.

**Developer response:** Thanks — glad you like the app, and noted on the Watch app. A completely rebuilt iPhone app ships in the next update, and the Watch experience is on the list right after. Appreciate the detailed feedback.
