### 1/5 — Great content; rubbish app

*2025-11-07, version 6.0*

The content is first class - but the app won’t open - so I’ve deleted it.

### 1/5 — Can’t get in the app

*2025-11-04*

When I first got the app, I couldn’t even get into it. I’ve not been able to get into the app yet. I’ve been reading and listening to the race for almost half a year, and I think it’s very good, but its app isn’t good to get into.

### 1/5 — Love The Race, but app doesn’t work!

*2025-11-01, version 5.4*

Love The Race, but the app continuously crashes on opening. It’s been like this for weeks with no fix unfortunately.

### 1/5 — Am I the only one with this issue

*2025-10-29*

Tried to check the app after today’s Mexico City Grand Prix and it just crashes repeatedly.  Restarted the phone. Check for an update (hint: there isn’t one). The shame is that The Race had excellent content, I just can’t get to it.

### 2/5 — Doesn’t work

Ever since the latest update (over 2 weeks ago) the app simply doesn’t open anymore. I’ve uninstalled and re-installed… nothing. Please fix the app

Not being able to open the app, crashes before loading any content.
