FormulaPulse is a racing companion for fans who want the story and the numbers in one place. PIT WALL An assistant that answers real questions during a session. What is the pit lane loss here. Who has the pace right now. Can the car behind actually catch the one ahead, and how many laps would it take. It works from real timing data: lap times, sector times, gaps, tyre compounds, stint ages and pit stops. Projections are computed rather than guessed, and when a number is not available the assistant tells you instead of filling the gap. Pit Wall uses Claude, an AI model from Anthropic, to write its answers. It sends your question and the race data it needs, and it asks you before the first question. Anthropic does not use that data to train its models. Story and digest summaries stay on your iPhone. PULSE Racing news from more than a dozen sources in one feed, with trending and breaking stories surfaced automatically. Stories about your favourite drivers and teams get priority. Tap any story for an on-device summary: a short overview and the key points, without leaving the app. NOTIFICATIONS THAT RESPECT YOUR DAY Pick how chatty the app is. Live for everything, Summary for a few digests a day, or Hybrid to go live by day and quiet overnight. Quiet hours roll overnight news into one morning briefing. SPOILER SHIELD Watching later? When a session starts the app asks if you are watching live. If not, it holds anything that could spoil the result until you tap that you are caught up. SCHEDULE AND STANDINGS The full season calendar with countdowns and session times in your timezone. Circuit detail with sector colouring, corner numbers and DRS zones. Driver and constructor standings with a points progression chart, season stats and per-race finishes. LIBRARY Daily summaries, saved stories and a 30-day reading history. Save anything to read offline later. APPLE WATCH Headlines and the weekend schedule on your wrist, with saved stories syncing both ways. MAKE IT YOURS Choose an accent colour from your favourite team, pick an app icon, and set light or dark. FORMULAPULSE PRO Pro unlocks Pit Wall, article summaries, saved and offline reading, full results and circuit detail, the standings chart with custom drivers, the Watch companion, and removes ads. Monthly and annual subscriptions are available. The monthly plan includes a 7-day free trial. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel in your App Store account settings.
