Ratings and reviews

This is the best app an F1 fan can have to stay on top of the news of F1. The developer updates frequently to keep the standings and schedule up to date. My favorite feature is the "countdown" to the next practice, qualy, or race. I purchased the app after using it for a while to remove the ads. Not because they were obnoxious, but because I wanted to pay for a very useful product.

I really like this app and just moved to the paid version, not to remove ads, instead just to support the developer. It just works well. Sure it gives you the same story from multiple sources - but that's good in my book. It's interesting to get more than 1 view of the world. Maybe the UI could be fancier but I personally value function over form and this app does exactly what others fail to achieve.

I've had this on phone for the last few years and it's one of two 'go to' F1 apps I regularly use. A good set of news sources and always up to date. All of that should make it an easy five stars, but recently the ads have become annoying. I understand the need for them, but now pressing the back button won't exit them, you have to wait until the countdown lets you out.... No! Sort it or it gets dropped more stars.
