No iPhone 8 support
Won't install on older iPhones. What genius thought that was a good idea?
Slowest app ever
Seriously how is the app build by Salesforce but is the slowest app I’ve ever used? I can’t change my f1 fantasy teams unless I spend an hour waiting for things. It constantly freezes and I am not motivated to use the app or the online interface for anything.
Bad Update

No PIP
No picture in picture
We no longer have F1 racing
This is NOT F1 racing this is Prius racing. I no longer watch this sport. It’s a disgrace.
Forced updates
Forced updates or you can’t use it
NoF1
No longer following F1 after 30 years since I have to pay to see races.
New Update is Horrible
New update has ruined the app.

Don’t Worry About Wasting Your Money, They Don’t Want It
Purchased a subscription to watch this season, log in and it’s locked because I didn’t pay for the “premium” plan (there were no tiers when I signed up, only “monthly” or “annual”). When I looked to see why I couldn’t access content I determined I needed to upgrade my subscription tier, except there is no option to and it will only let you manage your subscription from this app, which pulls a blank page every time you go into subscription settings. Fortunately for me, I couldn’t spend more money even though I want to because of this error, I will take the loss of money and find something better to do on my weekends.
Update required
Keeps saying update required but there is no ios17 available
Stop showing apple tv connection at the start
Please stop showing apple tv connection. I am already paying for subscription.
Update Required
Current version of the app for iPad incompatible with the app itself. App requires 17.0 and current iOS for my iPad is 16.7.5. Next update not available. Poor form on the part of Apple and the developers.
Spoiler mode never works. App developers are terrible
The only reason I use this app is for live timing. But every time I get onto this app, I get a spoiler. Case in point China Grand Prix I login 9 hrs after the race and I see the winner of the race on the home splash screen. I have spoiler mode enabled, but it did not work. It is basic and it is simple. This is nothing new, the app has been broken like this for years. If someone choose a spoiler mode, they should not see any spoilers, they should always be given the option to have to have timing replayed it shouldn’t matter whether it’s a one hour or or 12 hours or 36 hours. No spoilers. For reference I am in the US pacific time zone. Terrible app developers…….
Pay $30 for nothing
You pay $30 to see the racing and the everything is luck went it happening. I don’t feel like paying apple tv went i just want to see it the phone this is ridiculous
Lags like crazy
Can you guys please fix the lag in f1 fantasy!!! It’s crazy
Just ads ads ads
The amount of advertisements on this app now is unacceptable. Every little video every little article makes you watch an ad. Even in the "moments" section you have to watch an ad after every little 3-5 second video. It has progressively gotten much worse the last couple years however this new release has me clicking on Delete App
I will be getting my F1 news elsewhere from now on.
Also why does Apple not let you sort through reviews in any specific order? Most of these reviews are 7-9 years old. Back then the app was awesome.

Predict gone
They did some update that completely ruined the prediction feature on certain iPhones, doesn’t load and when it does it’s super laggy.
What’s with the glitching
This app was great. This year it is so glitchy
Final fix not available
Fix your app
Required iOS 17
Can’t use this app anymore on my iPad Pro anymore.
March 5, 2026 - SUCKS - Thanks Apple
Whatever they did in this update totally broke the Fantasy league section. Cannot even manage Team now (though we should be able to with chips; says infinite but that’s another bug). App is just awful now. I hope people read this. I feel really bad for everyone who paid for F1 TV (almost me). I wonder if AppleTV has anything to do with this app just sucking bc they see it as competition…
Buggy, slow gameplay, gone bad
Last years version was great, this year has gone really bad. Gameplay for Prediction was super slow on the app, while it works nicely in a computer web browser.
When wanting to add a league in the season of the fantasy game, I’m getting “syntax error” when searching for a league. 👎

Useless
I like the old app so much better. If this one doesn’t become as intuitive as the old one pretty quick I guess Im done. This sucks
Will not open
I have used the App for several years. It will not open. A message states I must Upgrade the App but requires iOS 1.17 or later. My IPad is up to date but it is not iOS 1.17. When I go to the App Store a messag tells me 1.17 is required but asks if I want to download an earlier version, I click download but I get the same message when I try to open the app -must Uprade, but I cannot. Maybe the same tech geniuses that created the rules for the current F1 season are in charge! Can you fix this?
App Called Me “Poor”
I have an iPhone 8.
I can no longer use this app because my version of iOS is not supported.

Can't access
Forcing me to update the app to use, and won't let me update the app unless I'm on a version of iOS that can't be run on my iPhone.
Not able to use
I can’t use it do to stupid update
extremely laggy
it’s very slow to load F1 predict and takes entire minutes to load one screen, completely unusable
So Slow!
I used to love this app and I couldn’t wait to start with my predictions for the season! But the app is so slow all of I sudden that I can’t do anything anymore. I can’t even get through the first question of the predictions because it takes so long to load! F1 needs to fix this fast because it is ridiculous. The app is unusable outside of making my predictions too. I can’t read articles because it takes forever for them to show up. The app is too slow to be functional.
Horrible!
How ironic is an app about the fastest cars in the world being so slow? I’ve been trying to make my prediction for days, but the page freezes all the time and I couldn’t answer any questions. I’m very disappointed!
Constant Updates
Every time I open this app it asks me to update it and it doesn’t let me use it if I don’t do it… really annoying.
App is ridiculously slow.
Trying to add drivers to the predict page and it’s annoyingly slow. This is an issue with your app, not my phone or wifi because every other app works fine except for this one. Couldn’t even finish adding drivers because of the lag. Fix your app.
Forced upgrade and Slow
Just before productions opened for Melbourne, they forced an app upgrade and it was a fail! Slowest app performance ever. 28 min to submit 10 questions and 1/2 functionality didn’t work.
NO FUNCIONA
Me invitaron a participar en el Fantasy, me mandaron una liga, NUNCA pude entrar a la liga, no la encontré por ningún lado, luego me aparecían una publicidad llamada Kartra, que no tiene manera de desaparecerla. PATETICA esta aplicacion. Me gustaría darle menos de una estrella pero no se puede. No pierdan su tiempo
Must have iOS 17 or later?!?
I can't update the app on my older phone. It won't even open. No schedule, no results, no news, no fantasy. I guess I'll have to slum it with the ESPN app. Thanks F1!
Forced Update :(
Forcing an update to iOS 17 means I won’t be able to use the app anymore and watch on my mobile device…
Forced updates...
Forced updates result in 1 star... 2/16 and again
Leaving older devices behind
Very disappointed because I’ve found the app extremely useful, but now it won’t run on my iPhone 8 because it doesn’t support iOS 17.
Sold out to AppleTV
Won’t be watching F1 anymore.
Will not watch this year
Went to subscription to watch
Spoiled the race
I subscribe to F1TV and always watch the race replays due to time zone. Unfortunately, this app just spoiled the race with a notification and also the outcome of the whole championship. Was planning a whole day around watching the final race. Day ruined
App won’t open
The app hasn’t been accessible since Bahrain GP just doesn’t want to open but now that we’re heading to Abu Dhabi for the last race hopefully you guys will have time to finally fix the app we all miss using.
Already shows Lando winning the championship!
Look at the statistics section under Lando and it already shows him as the winner of the championship.
Only used for fantasy
I only used this app for fantasy and it couldn’t do that
Spoilers
Do you want views on your second rate tv channel or do you want clicks on the app? Because consumers certainly don’t need to do both. Just opened the app. Don’t need to watch quali. Thanks a million for spoiling the fun of the sport.
Needs an update every week just to function
Annoying.
Fantasy Crash
Fantasy keeps crashing. I gave it a couple of months without complaining but enough is enough. Update the UI for smoother transitions and improving navigation. Seems very compact and overwhelming. With upcoming 2026 season with new vehicle improvements, we’ll also get app improvements. Give us fans a great experience please. Make me change this bad review to a positive. 🙏🏾
Brutally bad redesign
The recent redesign turned a marginally useful app into a abominable mess.
