4/5Pro version
I love this app because it gives me widgets for F1, but if it was free it would make it so much better because I have the free version and I can’t customize anything and I’m missing half of the widgets. Please make it free🙏🙏🙏

3/5Won’t update
This is a good app. I’ve been using the widgets for a while but ever since the end of the last season the Abu Dhabi gp times have been stuck on my screen and won’t update. Which is very disappointing considering I’ve paid for the premium version. Hopefully it fixes because the widget that broke is my favorite one. It’s the one where it shows fp1, 2, 3, quali, and race time! Hopefully this gets fixed considering the season is in 2 days

3/5Great when it works
I love the design and layout of this app, but it gets stuck on the Canadian GP race more often than not. I have the PRO version which is super frustrating since I paid to know about the upcoming races, but I still have to look up practice and race times for at least the last three races. I’ve deleted and reinstalled the app several times to try and fix the issue, but it does not work.

1/5Does not work with tints
Overall functionality is iffy, with the beginning of the 2025 season it took until the 2nd GP for it to be up to date, and the widgets just become solid colours when you set a tint on your Home Screen. This is a deal breaker for me but I could see how people might be okay with this. Just don’t see this being something that would be difficult to fix, so unless they update it to work, I definitely don’t recommend this.

3/5Schedule times are not correct often
I wouldn’t recommend the free version for the schedule. It’s been off multiple times now where I’m using as a Lock Screen widget and I get home to find out I was late by 30m to an hour. So if free version is off… I doubt subbing will make a difference.
