I have been quite keen to start following the Formula 1 this season and for this reason I decided to take a look at this app to see how much it would help me to keep up to date. After playing with this app for a week I have found that there are a lot of useful features.


Open the app and straight away you get a really smooth design with a countdown of how many days until the next race and the weather forecast for that race.

Then you enter into the app where there is a large panoply of information available to you. Up to date information on the drivers and the teams standings; information on all of the races this season; maps of all the race tracks; loads of details on the teams and the drivers including history, photos and technical information. The list just goes on. The app also contains a library of videos to stream. This app really does contain everything you would ever want to know about the Formula 1 season. I quite enjoy reading up on the information about the next race tracks. The app updates with several news feeds everyday, so there is always something interesting to read about.

The app has had a lot of effort put into it in my opinion. Something I find really useful is that the app is able to store all the latest data. This means that even without any internet access you can read up on F1 info previously stored onto the phone.

There was one thing that I find a bit disappointing about this app but I’m not really sure if GPXL could easily get around this problem. It is that the app will let you know the dates and times for the races, which is great. But it doesn’t allow you to convert those times into your own local time zone. I think that this is quite a key issue as obviously if you are into Formula 1 then you are going to want to know what time the races are on for you to watch.

Pros

  • Incredible amount of Formula 1 information available.
  • Elegant finish and simple to use.
  • High amounts of stored data to keep you informed even without any wireless connection.

Cons

  • Cannot convert the race times to your local time-zone.

Verdict

This app is well worth its money and a must have for anyone following the F1 this season. All the information you could possibly want to have on the go and more.
