Too much notification

Even disabling notifications I keep receiving they! Lots of notifications, thats sad

Too many push notifications

Decent enough app. Has all the info I need for F1. Adding events to calendar is sweet. Only drawback are the non-stop push notifications... Like endless. Even on off weeks with no races it doesnt end. Seriously F1 developers. You need to cool it with the push notifications. Its more annoying than useful. I realize I can turn push notifications off, but that means I get no updates at all.

Terrible

Paid on my PC and iOS app didnt recognize the subscription. Very annoying.

Calendar View

I love that I can add the whole calendar to my iPhone calendar but it would be better if it displayed what each thing was first (i.e. Practice 1 - Formula 1 Grand Prix) instead of Formula 1 Grand Prix Name of Track 2016 - Practice 1. From the month/detail view, thats all you can see and you have to go into each item to see what it is. The event is more important to see than that its a Formula 1 Grand Prix. The name of the track doesnt even need to be listed in the title, it should be in the location area. Just a thought.

A Genuine Fart-sicle

Too many useless notifications, and have to use google to find things like pole position, qualifying, race results, and race schedules and locations. The most important stuff.

What is the purpose??

I dont see a practical application for this app, the live timing is only a demo unless you pay for it. Also, maybe Im missing something, but it would be helpful, maybe, if they showed what time the race was happening RELATIVE TO YOUR TIME ZONE, and not the one the race is happening in, so that you dont que up all weekend to watch a race on TV that youve already missed.

It will spoil you!

When it works (most, but not all the time) this app is pretty good. Good enough that Ive paid the $30 every year. But F1 is a global sort, with global races and not every one will watch races live. So its ridiculous that you cant get to the timing replay without getting spoiled on race results. Cmon guys, thats just basic.

Ruined another race!!

Ive been using this program for the past three years. Im not sure how many races that have been spoiled because the program either shows the winner of the race in the opening splash pages or when you download the race it starts with the final positions of the race. Designers, please understand that many of us watch the race time delayed. dont spoil the end of the race by showing the results in advance. Pitiful and careless given the expense of this program. Disappointed.

Ok

Ive used the paid version of the app for two years now, and found a few problems during qualifying and races. First, the audio in live timing doesnt quit when you quit the app. You have to either disable the audio before you quit the app or restart the iPad. Something they can fix. Second, it stops updating live timing a few times where you have to quit the app and sometimes restart the iPad to get it back. Third, which is the same as last years app, its too much visual presentation over content. You have to scroll too much for basic information or read news stories. Otherwise, its ok. When it works its faster than TV for updates.

The app does nothing without in-app purchase

The free version should at least show real time time lapping details. But instead, if you want just that simple information, you have to pay 27$/yr, and that is too much. If you also stream the video of the race, Ill pay the 27$ gladly.

Give us the real deal

This app does exactly what it claims to do, and it does so reasonably well. All of that said, Im done shelling out $$$ to FOM until they break loose of their exclusive cable tv contracts and start streaming for a fee. I refuse to pay for expensive cable bundles just to watch F1 races. Get on with the times already.

Not happy

I paid for my app up date this year but cant log on to the web now, they need to connect the subscription again like last year, this is not cheap ! Not sure if next year will happen now. If F1 cant master a little app & web connection then they really need to rebuild.

Spoiler app

Surprised me with a popup notice spoiling the winner of the race. Will be deleting it.

Good content in a poor wrapper

The text, images, and video are nice. Image galleries dont work on iPad, so you can only see the first image. Video usually has sound drop out part way through playback, so you often can only watch but not listen. Its quite a shame because you can tell a lot of work goes into making their multimedia content.

Shows results before downloading

What idiot thought this was a good idea. Use it for timing and scoring while watching recorded versions of the race since they come on too early in North America( west coast). But now, as soon as I open the app, I see the results before I watch it. It wasnt like this a couple of years ago. Never going to buy again!!!

Just a disaster

Such a disappointment and they they want you to pay for it. It never works. Lol its a joke

Ruin a race once again

Even thought this app has a feature to not notify you about race wins, the app does so anyway. Why not? It is otherwise boated and an enormous waste of money. Dont bother.

Mise a jour

Belle mise a jour il y a tout heure FR et heure local il y a des belle photo

Premium Pass

The Premium Pass purchased for ipad at a hefty price compared to last year is not working although it shows subscription active. Is this a bug?

Too expansive!!

Last year: 9.99€ This year: 26.99€ Bye bye
