Great content; rubbish app

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

Can’t get in the app

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.

Love The Race, but app doesn’t work!

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

Am I the only one with this issue

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.

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

Crashes constantly

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

Crash!!

App hasn’t opened for last 9 days keeps crashing and closing. Heard nothing from developer. Considering cancelling subscription

Won’t even open

Been crashing now for about a week just opens and closes instantly so look wise where as this app isn’t working

Nope

This App no longer works with iOS 18.7.1

Not functioning

Tried to check the app after today’s Mexico City Grand Prix and it just crashes repeatedly.

More crashes than in the race

‘The race’ reporters are great. This app is the worst. It’s always crashing. It will frequently spontaneously close while reading a article. Every time they update the app, you hope they’ve fixed it, but no. It’s been bad for so so long. They really need a totally new app for iPhone as this one is the pits.

Begun Crashing on Opening

Would happily give 5+ stars for the content if I could, however over recent days, I can’t even open the app - it crashes as soon as it’s been selected. As Edd says in his driver ratings, he considers the whole weekend, not just the race. Well, just as a great qualifying can’t compensate for a disastrous race, great content can’t compensate for a glitchy app that won’t let you access it. So I’m afraid it’s a 2 from me at present!

The Mazepin of Apps

I had a good month with the app but since then it continuously crashes

Brilliant, when it’s working…

Reliable expert authoritative news and analysis.
Shame it’s not working as at October 2025 😟

Not working

The app will open for one second then cuts off back to Home Screen. It’s been like this for a week, I’ve checked that everything is up to date and problem still persists. I love the race(f1) and just discovered the app a couple months ago so this is a bummer.

Great when it doesn’t crash

Crashing upon opening? IOS 12, 26.0.1

Great Content - Unusable Because of Ads

Such a familiar story, a great app or website gets greedy and its usability falls through the floor because of ads.

If it doesn’t get sorted it gets deleted, end of.

Dark mode

Great writing, excellent journalism. Gimme a dark mode and it’s a match made in heaven.

Unusuable

Couldn’t get through first article because of pop ups
