Formula 1‪®‬ 4+

Who thought this new version was better? Poor fonts, limited readability, can only see a small number of drivers’ times at once and, worse, delayed timing so to match up with nowtv doesn’t work (randomly speeds up and slows down meaning this is now a distraction rather than a viewing aid). Almost unreadable fonts and graphics. Prominent irrelevant info (why do I need humidity all the time?!?) while useful info is missing (sector times of more than 4 drivers at once). The old version was brilliant - clear graphics, fast, lots of drivers visible at once, clear info that was readable in the background while watching the tv etc. How anyone thought this new version is better I don’t know! I paid for this for the year and now want a refund. Terrible. Really let down. Amateur programming, software engineering and UI design. Please restore the old version, fire your current developers and then hire programmers who actually care about F1 and *really use* this app if you want to write a new version. Such an amateur app should not have been released by the most high tech sport in the world.

I’ve subscribed to this (expensive) app for 4 years now, it started poorly but has been slowly improved. Always glitchy but give some great detail race data, especially the sector splits and ability to track a drivers progress and detail timings against everyone else. Screen could be custom sized to get all of the field onto a single screen if I wanted. Could even just about follow a race fully without the TV coverage. So all in all pretty good and while never worth the money at least gave me something I couldn’t get from the TV coverage.
Until now. The latest update -it m looks pretty but it is utterly utterly useless for anyone actually into F1 - Dear Liberty that is anyone willing to pay the over the odds price for the App in the first place. I wouldn’t even recommend this if it was free. No longer can I see intermediate splits, no longer can I see all the field on a screen. No longer all the cars locations on the circuit. No longer can I access the timing screens that are shown at the circuits. No split screen ability. No use whatsoever for a fan looking for race detail. Whoever released this is one coupon short of a pop-up toaster. Didn’t anyone think to consult the people who follow F1 and use this thing before such radical change?. Liberty media please get your act together and be quick about it. Hopeless.

UPDATE: A new F1 Live Timing app has been released which looks to be the same information and layout as was previously made available through this app. If my assessment is correct then I feel that Liberty Media have listened and responded well to the feedback they received after the last update. Of course we’ll only know for certain once this weekends race event starts but I’m willing to be optimistic and think that, at this point in time, my concerns have been addressed. Thanks guys.

Have used and thoroughly enjoyed the previous versions of this app since it was introduced years ago. The timing screen section of this version is so poor that if it stays I’d like a refund.

Comments from other users are absolutely spot on. Rather than enhance and add to the experience of following F1 over a race event this version completely destroys it.

If Liberty Media are listening: You claim that you want to engage with fans more and get them more involved. Well this version has done more to alienate me as a follower of F1 than anything else.

Please restore the level of information and detail of the previous timing screen version ASAP.
