★★★★★ "These thieves stole money out of my Google play account and then demanded that I take out another subscription! These thieves don't need real fans anymore. Besides, they converted the once great sport into a cheap video game." - Prathap Samuel P

I am a huge F1 TV Fan. But there Home page is Looking like a Kiddies Program. Get some Podcasts on there or some Highlights of F1 . F1 is Merged with ROLEX ect this Kiddies LGBT+ Looking F1 isnt feeling right.
These thieves stole money out of my Google play account and then demanded that I take out another subscription! These thieves don't need real fans anymore. Besides, they converted the once great sport into a cheap video game.
I have to sign in two times every time I open the app now. Once into the app and once into Apple to authenticate that yes, I am the person trying to use the app and yes, I want all the functions. Every single time. if I accidentally close the app. Sign in to both, and it requires bouncing between multiple screens. Oh you're on your android phone and want to watch, well too bad, go get your iPad, authenticate this device, every time.
totally biased commentators, only turn off sound and it is ok for me. fx mode. app itself it's fine , can't leave feedback on it , however have to do it here.
I can't understand what your extreme aversion is to people wanting to watch F1 on their TVs! First, the app is not compatible with my Android TV. Fine. I was forced to cast, that was OK, not great. Now, I can't even do that. It's been getting increasingly difficult to watch the service I paid for - the app won't start unless I'm on mobile data, then, video won't stream unless I'm on mobile data. So, I used to swap to WiFi once the stream started, to cast, but now I can't cast at all! Just awful.
In order to get a better review, your app needs to do things like, idk, get past the initial splash screen.
You couldn't watch the live race or the in time radio messages and so on. You could watch the shows, highlights and archives but that was about it.
f1 Miami. brought forward by 3 hours. but not on f1 TV. one would assume them being the organiser they get this right.
splash screen wird ewig angezeigt, app lädt ewig
this is for the Tv app on my Chromcastwirh Google TV device. it won't play any streams. just gives an error message every time. I cleared the data, uninstalled and reinstalled and still the same problem. terrible
There is no option to pay for one moth only full year now??? Expensive and you have to install F1 app and then there you have to sub and pay.... Why not all in one app?
App crashes more than the entire grid combine. everything was ok until this season, idk what changed but please fix it asap! we are getting tired of paying for something that doesn't work as supposed. this definitely not a good year for F1
Just moved to Australia. You need to get rid of the fox/kayo/sky geo block in Australia. F1 TV is many times. Kayo is the absolute worst solution!! no one would ever play for fox! Looks like I won't be watching F1 as long as I live here.
terrible quality. see you next year
Terrible interface. Since Apple took over this app only works on devices. Casting to larger screens inserts you into a constant buffering and loading. Cannot understate how disappointing it is to be forced to pay for something through apple and they made a perfectly good independent app useless. Do better apple and f1
I'm just going to say it out loud...the way they scam you into buying the 4k package.... IT DOESN'T MATTER IF YOUR TV IS 400K AND FROM THE FUTURE... If it's a Android/Google run platform. love F1, but
update will not install and old version blocked from running.
Not working on samsung tablet 7+
doesn't work always. there is no app for TV. subscription is way to expensive. useless.
subpar and overpriced, constantly fails to load...even on different devices, stuttering even on 2.5g internet, resolution advertised when purchasing is not the resolution you receive either.
gotta be one if the most un-intuitive garbage UI I've ever seen.
Playback is broken on latest update, it seems stuck in 720P even though my connection can handle 4k streaming in other apps, and the video playback constantly stutters badly, making it unwatchable. F1 still can't do an good app and somehow makes it worse with each update. So disappointing.
since the update the app will not longer start. tried everything from reinstalling to clearing cache and restarting my device. nothing works.
Why does this app have updates pretty much every day!
Latest update is worse. Skipping through used to be unpredictable, but now barely works at all. Does nobody check these updates? Another backwards step.
keep giving error. either video playback or just oops. you need to test before updating. pathetic
Don't know what's happening with the app, firstly I had to uninstall and reinstall, renewal was set for 3 May, was kicked out, purchased a new subscription on Google Play, but payment didn't update on the app, but I did receive the POP from Google play, showed active on Google play, had to repurchase a subscription on the website to be able to watch. So now we paid double subscription, and the website and Google play, have different renewal dates, so will I be paying double permanently now?
Absolutely rip off
I cant watch I have to pay I want to watch for free so please let mee
before starting the F1 weekend forced to update the app and size of the app went from 99mb to 400mb. after I removed other apps this does not even start. this is the end of my subscription.
paid for a subscription, got an error, told me to restore, "no new subscriptions" you guys ow me 17,99 ....
app idiiot
frame rate is broken on all videos with latest update on my android TV ON RACE WEEK. Great job really.
The app doesn't open on Huawei
the amount of updates is ridiculous
Since the latest update can't stream anything. keep getting error TM4011. tried to remove and reinstalled with no luck
Awful Customer Service! Subscription cancelled after 7 years of F1 Tv-Pro. Now you want me to subscribe to a service, apple tv, that I will never use.
can you let us download races like every other streaming app?
With each update the app gets worse, after update unable to watch on my Google TV. Don't these people test there updates before they release them, works on my phone that's much older then my television.
It is not working 4k on TC 4k tv with premium subscription. WHY??????
Kindly hire an HUMAN IT please, there's too many issues.
Used to be great until the Apple TV integration. We use my partners Apple TV account but it keeps signing me out and I can't sign in again if my partner isn't in the house. Very annoying and not really useable. Already missed several live events
stupid limits - can only have on one device at a time even though I paid for the subscription. done with f1
so trash I can't register i did it many times
I was not informed that the "access" Version U can't rewatch races, I wasn't informed that there was a "pro" or "premium" Version at all. when I tried to upgrade to pro I didn't let me. Now I paid 30€ just to not be able to rewatch races
Before the 2026 season my auto renew took the annual subscription fee, which is exactly what I wanted. except we are heading towards the Miami Grand Prix and I still do not hav access to the content. I can't re purchase it as an annual product because the system says I am already subscribed, but the app does not give me access. The system allows me to buy monthly subscriptions wich is bs. I got one email with a case number when I complained but from there I did not get a single response.
F1 is dead!
used to be a great app for f1 until they partnered with Apple. now you have to have an apple tv subscription just to watch and use the app. no thanks, I won't be supporting anything apple. you guys should've partnered with android like you did apple since apple already uses everything android because they cant make a product good enough for the public with android. I'll watch the highlights on YouTube now thanks🤷🏽♂️
Double charges, then deducts after cancellation. back and forth with a chat bot. not recommended.
Doesn't support 4K playback or multi-view even on the official Google TV 4K Streamer
