FormulaPulse is your motorsport companion — a fast, focused racing news app for iPhone and Apple Watch. Built by a fan, for fans. No clutter, no noise. Just the stories, data, and session info that matter on race weekend. SPOILER SHIELD (NEW IN 1.2.3) Watch the race on your own schedule. Spoiler Shield automatically holds result-revealing notifications — breaking news, trending stories, standings changes, and digests — during Qualifying, Sprint, and Race sessions. Nothing leaks to your lock screen. • Arms itself when a result session starts. No setup, no reminders to toggle things on. • Held stories appear veiled in your notification bell and daily digests until you're ready. • Tap "I'm watching live" on the session reminder to get real-time alerts as normal. • Tap "I'm caught up" when you've seen the result — everything reveals instantly. • Full control in Settings: toggle Spoiler Shield and Standings Alerts independently. CHAMPIONSHIP STANDINGS ALERTS (NEW IN 1.2.3) Know the moment the title fight shifts. Get a push when drivers or constructors move in the standings — with context like point gaps and lead changes. Automatically held by Spoiler Shield when a session is live. NOTIFICATION MODES (NEW IN 1.2) Race weekends can mean dozens of alerts a day. FormulaPulse puts you in control with three F1-themed modes: • LIVE (Soft) — every story as it happens, plus three daily summaries. For die-hards. • HYBRID (Medium) — live during the day, silent after dinner and overnight. Plus all three summaries. The recommended default. • SUMMARY (Hard) — quiet all day. Up to three summary pings only. Perfect for casual fans who hate noise. Hybrid is fully tunable — flip any window (Morning / Midday / Evening) between live and silent. Nothing's lost: muted stories still roll into your next summary. IN-APP BELL (IMPROVED IN 1.2.3) Go quiet and never miss a thing. Every trending and breaking story you mute still collects in your in-app bell, each as its own row — held stories appear veiled until you're caught up. Pull to refresh anytime. PULSE — YOUR RACING NEWS FEED A curated, real-time stream from trusted motorsport sources. Save articles for later, read offline, and catch up fast with AI-generated summaries (iOS 26+). RACE SCHEDULE Every session of every round, converted to your local time. Push notifications before lights-out so you never miss a start. Sprint weekends show all five sessions — FP1, Sprint Qualifying, Sprint, Qualifying, Race. DRIVER & TEAM PROFILES Season stats, career summaries, and head-to-head detail for every driver and constructor on the 2026 grid. CHAMPIONSHIP STANDINGS (UPDATED IN 1.3) Driver and constructor tables, current through the latest race — sprint points included. The Points Progression chart scrolls the full season and opens on the most recent races; rotate to landscape for a full-screen view. Go Pro for custom driver/team comparisons, the Top 10, and the landscape chart. APPLE WATCH COMPANION The Stories tab keeps headlines on your wrist. The Schedule tab shows the next session at a glance. Complications surface what's next in context. SESSION REPLAY Replay past sessions with telemetry — positions, gaps, and timing, lap by lap. FORMULAPULSE PRO Unlock article saving, AI summaries, offline reading, past-race detail, historical standings, and the full standings chart (custom comparisons, Top 10, landscape view). Available as an optional subscription with a 7-day free trial. Cancel anytime.
