2012 F1 App is rubbish

[yodasarmpit]

What was available on the free one last year? I used the formula1.com site last year for live timings because I was under the impression that you needed the £20 app for that on the iPad.

At least this year it looks like the Sky app has live timings and driver tracker included.

If you've got Android try "F1 Live Stream", it was excellent (and free) last year and looks like it's been updated for '12.

Thanks for pointing that one out. Looks like a reverse engineered version of the Java app on the formula1.com web site. Screen size is hard coded unfortunately, so not ideal on a tablet.

Try this:

It's just text so you should be able to resize or zoom to fit any screen you like.

Thanks for the info. It worked great for qualifying!

Neat, I'm bookmarking that one as well

The 2011 F1.com iPhone was free and enabled access to the live timing screens. The 2012 app costs NZD$36.99 for the same service, but has a ghastly interface and IMHO irrelevant information. What a backward step for supporters especially as the browser F1.com live timing doesn't function on an iPhone. I have reverted to Autosport Live AUTOSPORT Live - the authority on live Formula One, F1, motorsport, minute-by-minute text commentary and the ESPN iPhone app App Store - ESPNF1. F1.com - the ESPN CricInfo app is an outstanding example of how to successfully engage and interact with fans and supporters on mobile devices. You can do much much better.... or let others have access to your screens and see what evolves.
