Getting Started
Source: app_description_and_user_feedback_noted
- Download the app from the Google Play Store and install it on your Android device.
- Open the app. If you encounter crashes or freezes, try clearing the app's cache and data from your device settings (Settings > Apps > Formula 1 > Storage > Clear Cache/Clear Data), then sign in again. Some users report this step is needed for the app to work after each crash.
- Browse the home screen for the latest F1 news, race highlights, and videos. Use the navigation menu to access race schedules, live timings, driver and constructor standings, and the F1 Fantasy section.
- To subscribe to F1 TV Access, go to the in-app subscription section (if available) or visit the F1 website. Subscriptions auto-renew unless canceled 24 hours beforehand via your Play Store account settings.
- For Grand Prix attendees, use the dedicated at-track area featuring interactive maps and personalized timetables to enhance your event experience.

3★After almost a year with smooth running, app now crashes every time I try to open it! Don't know if the latest Android software update killed it, (other functions certainly were affected), but I now have to clear cache and data, then sign in again every time I want to use the app! Major pain in the butt! Once I am able to open the app, all the features are fully functional.

2★App is fine if I open it directly for the most part. if I try to click any notification, it freezes, doesn't open, and I have to force the phone into the app window mode so I can force close the app. has been this way since install over a year ago. I've tried to uninstall and reinstall, but this is just a feature of the app.

3★Good centralized place for content, attractive, and easy to navigate, but rather unstable. Notifications are worthless because the app hangs when trying to open anything from them, so if I want to read something, I have to hunt it down in the app anyway. The app also randomly freezes and crashes a lot while I'm using it, which is really a pain when I'm messing around with my fantasy teams. I wouldn't even consider a premium subscription of any sort with this level of stability.

2★I'm happy the ability to add the race schedule to the device calendar has been brought back but it's no longer in the settings section of the app which makes no sense. It would be a lot more logical if it were just spelled out in plain english in the settings rather than as a tiny obscure icon hidden in the app. This feature was easier to find and setup in the older version of the app.

1★*UPDATE* There was a November 28th update, but the app still doesn't work. I GIVE UP!! The app has been bugged/broken since July 2024. There have been 4 or 5 updates to this day but it still doesn't work. It worked just fine before the July update. The problem is that when you open the app, it just closes itself immediately. I've tried reinstalling, clearing cache & data but nothing works. I have sent an email after every update. Please fix this issue!!
