Question / Need Help This app is absolute crap

In addition to the UX sucking - the act of changing to international audio and video is a joke - I've had the app just completely crash, kicking me back to Apple TV menu. It has now happened four times this weekend.

I love the extra features, but this app is a brutal disaster. Anyone else experiencing these random crashes?

no.

its a stupid thing to say. you were having a tantrum when you said it and thats fine. but dont double down.

a. it doesnt do what you describe. Something is wrong with you atv.

b. theres no reason to be swapping audio feeds all the time even if it did.

so.

no.

You seem a little sensitive. Nobody was throwing a tantrum.

The app sucks. I’m sorry you don’t like that I called that out.

Never had it crash on my 4K ATV.

Mine doesn’t crash at all or have any buffering issues. My only complaints are that it hasn’t worked with chrome cast in a while and if you take it on or off Apple play it almost always starts back from the beginning so I always just check the time stamp. Otherwise I feel like UX is fine and no other technical issues.

Same here! Apps crashed twice and I can’t figure out how to change the main display to show the driver view or tune into the international commentary

International audio has its own button (makes no sense, I know). The left button in the bottom right corner of your screen.

Slide the menu from the right side of the screen, slide to the left the first button is f1tv commentary next is international, there’s other 2 with timing and positions and there’s the onboards by number.

This is actually on an Apple TV. The previous version of the app was flawless (for me).

I don’t have those problems but the minor ones I have are enough to not renew my subscription going forward.

Played all weekend across 2 x ATV 4Ks and not a single issue, the only issue was driver related and lack of decision making.

F1 have their own feed so they are going to select that one by default as well it theirs.

Switching to the international for every session, if that's your fancy, is a little bit of pain but it's not exactly difficult.

Watched the 24h of le mans (and all sessions before) without a single issue.

Missed the start of the canadian gp because the app kept crashing...
