Schumacher. The Official App

Keep Fighting Foundation

About this app

The Official Michael Schumacher App is a Grand Prix of Memories for every Michael Schumacher fan. It illustrates the career of the most successful driver in Formula 1 history in an entertaining and contemporary way. The digital museum of the seven-time Formula 1 World Champion is an intense and rich experience for every motorsport enthusiast.

The app enables a virtual visit to the Michael Schumacher Private Collection at MOTORWORLD Cologne-Rhineland and a virtual tour of the historic Kerpen-Manheim kart track, where Michael Schumacher as a child laid the foundation for his driving skills - in both cases, VR glasses, which can be ordered directly from the app, offer an even more detailed insight.

Schumacher. The Official App presents his racing cars exhibited in the Private Collection in a variety of ways. The cars are created in 3D and can be explored in detail by rotating or zooming. For each car, further information such as the exact history or the engine sound is offered. A detailed statistics section with the most important records explains the career of the most successful driver in Formula 1. In a video interview from 2013, Michael Schumacher gives his answers to questions that define a champion.

Ratings and reviews

Unfortunately this app doesn't fulfill it's potential, and therefore poorly represents the great Michael Schumacher. A bit of Michael's own drive would help. To be specific, the virtual tour and videos will not open. I hate giving such a low star rating, but unfortunately the app is just not good enough. If it worked, I would gladly pay a reasonable amount for the app.

Initial app is quite disappointing if I'm honest. Dead links and only works in landscape. There is some interesting content but it's rather poor from a UX perspective. Hopefully it's updated quickly and these bugs disappear. I'm perplexed by the five star reviews when people are complaining about details and incorrect info. You're not rating Michael, you're rating the app!

its a good app honoring the greatest driver ever. why oh why though didnt you do this as a vr app and make it interactive with the great man walking you round and talking to you?? could have done so much more, had it been vr and schumacher ahowing you around the museum telling you stories maybe it would be 5* no doubt.
