The F1 TV app offers
broadcasts
in
six different languages
. This platform broadcasts
full HD quality
, and you can choose between
localized
and
expert commentary
. It also gives
F1 TV Pro
, a premium subscription service that provides live coverage of every Formula One race.
Choose between two pricing tiers
The
TV Pro subscription
grants you access to every track session, onboard driver camera, and team radio during all Grands Prix, plus live broadcasts of
F2
,
F3
,
W series
, and
Porsche Supercup races
. Exclusive to this tier is a cool
live-timing feature
that lets you check out real-time telemetric data, such as the speed and location of each car and tire usage history during races.
The key difference between the two F1 TV packages is that the premium tier
includes live coverage
of races. In contrast, for significantly
cheaper
TV
access, you must wait until a race has finished before viewing it and offer
delayed replays
and
highlights
instead of live coverage. The Pro tier allows you to stream live in six languages, reaching over
80 countries
.
However, exclusive
TV rights deals
in some countries make the premium tier
unavailable everywhere
. This app is free-to-download, but you’ll need to pay for the subscription to proceed and enjoy its features. One of the drawbacks of this tool is that it only works well on the fastest processors and most advanced mobile devices. Otherwise, your video won't play smoothly. Moreover, the app often
freezes
and
crashes
randomly.
Needs improvement for a better experience
Overall, F1 TV is a good app. It is quite exciting to use and gives you exclusive access to your favorite
sport
, which is excellent if you are an avid F1 fan. You can watch every race live wherever you might be or stream replays of previous races. Further, this app definitely has potential if its developers make some improvements to it.
