This app is amazing. If you can’t afford to do a paid sub you still get all the pre and post race articles, and race results. It’s perfect for a quick view at how practice went cuz none has time to watch 2hrs of practice on a Friday.On the app there is something called “spoiler mode” ITS AMAZING! It basically blocks race results for those of us who live where the race takes place at like 2am and we can’t watch live. It asks if you want to start the race from the beginning. It’s an ingenious idea and I send all the praise to whoever’s idea it was. However… when you click it, for a split second while bringing up the live timing it will show you the top 3 finishes. I have made a habit of hitting “play from beginning” and averting my eyes, lol. Quick fix no big deal. The main problem with the app is that if you tune in half way through the race there is not a “play for beginning” and the app will play the race on whatever lap it’s on, will not let you go to past laps, (when you start is as far back as you can go) and spoil the race for you without hesitation. So your options are watch live or wait until it’s over to tune in. But outside of that it’s a good app. Still 5 stars cuz the data available during a race is out of this world!

I am deeply disappointed with F1’s change in policy regarding subscriptions. I have long been subscribing to F1 and it was important to me as I traveled and worked abroad in many countries, to include locations and conflict countries where the races were not acceptable on tv. In some cases they were shown but the announcers were speaking in Arabic, which I could not understand. My solution in those cases was to use F1 streaming to enjoy the race despite the 30 seconds difference between the tv and the audio streaming. I have done this for many years and have never misused your service in any way, shape or manner. Unfortunately F1 changed their policy for what I believe are unfounded reasons and I can no longer subscribe to F1 while residing and working in developing or war torn countries. Whether I remain a committed fan of F1 is in doubt since F1 apparently views me with suspicion of abusing my subscription. Is it possible for F1 to change their perception of a long time F1 fan to something less suspect?

I’ve tuned in to watch the beautiful data screens I’ve loved for a long time and they are gone!! They have updated the app and made massive changes. Taken away the track view showing a beautiful overall look at driver locations and substituted this amateurish screen with dots!! Took away a very detailed screen giving the viewer (us) all the data for all drivers on same screen. I could look at this view and know gaps, sector times and more all on one screen along with the track view. I was fully informed with increasing or closing gaps of all driver with a single screen, not to mention 4 other screens showing any other support information you wanted.....all gone!! They now have these simple screens. Nothing is combined...if you’re looking for anything combined like sector times and gaps....forget it...not there....you have no single way of telling who’s gaining on who! My ability to see what I want to see data wise has been taken away. I have to swap back and forth between several screens to get the same combined data you use to have last week!! You’re new version of the app is foe beginners.

The previous version needed a little work, but generally gave you Key information on one screen during the race and qualifying: lap times, sector times, and during the race, gap to the lead, interval between drivers and the ability to turn on driver radio transmissions. The new app shows lap time, gap to lead and interval between drivers on one screen but only six max drivers at a time. With the previous app, I could see the entire field on my tablet. I have to go to a 2nd screen to see sector times (really annoying during qualy) and still can only see the top six, missing drivers who have just gone out on track and are setting competitive early sectors. Graphics and color choices are also poor and inferior tot he previous version. I also found that my “no spoiler “ alert had been reset, so when I tried signing on the app with my phone during the race I the hopes of avoiding screen switching with my tablet, I was shown the Singapore (current race) results totally ruining my enjoyment of that race. Terrible update. This should have gone to a Beta release with a representative sample of fans! I will cancel my subscription if this is not fixed- actually worse than just following broadcast. - F1 fan for over 25 years
