Can't talk about FP1 since I was still sleeping, but I don't get any of what you're saying on both my devices (Nexus 5, Nexus 7 2013).Schumi4ever wrote:App crashes, battery hogging, mobile heating, random glitches and now no FP1 timing, all this on a paid F1 app. Getting bloody ridiculous.

What do you mean with "can't access any of the times"? You can't replay the session before actually downloading it, but you can look at the result times just fine. Just go to the menu, pick "results", go to the event of your choice and click on the session.Juzzy82 wrote:One thing that annoys the crap out of me with the Live Timing app is that as soon as a session is finished the timing shuts down and you can't access any of the times for a while afterwards until it's ready to download as a session.
- Verstappen - Vettel!They could have just left the basic java app and charged £5 to use it or something. Zero development costs for that and there would be a significant user base for it. I may not be Alan Sugar, but some money is generally better than no money.RickM wrote:There's no money in Windows software, and there hasn't been for a long time.

The problem with Java apps is that once a new version of Java comes out, older compiled codebases start failing. Meaning someones got to maintain it.Lojik wrote:They could have just left the basic java app and charged £5 to use it or something.

FP2 worked fine for me as well. But the sudden crashes + battery hogging still persist, and the app itself hangs if i leave it unattended for more than a minute sometimes.mds wrote:Can't talk about FP1 since I was still sleeping, but I don't get any of what you're saying on both my devices (Nexus 5, Nexus 7 2013).Schumi4ever wrote:App crashes, battery hogging, mobile heating, random glitches and now no FP1 timing, all this on a paid F1 app. Getting bloody ridiculous.
App works solidly and stable here.
Yes, but you have to wait a long time before you can do this. It's not like the live timing site used to be where you could look at the times when the session finished. Now they disappear and you have to wait sometimes up to an hour before you can view them - I'm not talking about downloading the session "replay", just looking at the quickest times.mds wrote:What do you mean with "can't access any of the times"?

Wait what? Why on earth would the officials/stewards use the Live Timing app? The app just connects to an API (proprietary to it) that uses the official timing. The officials would use the official timing no doubt.TBWG wrote: Also the implications are far reaching if this quoted in Pitpass is correct!
"Reports that the flag error is linked to the F1 Live Timing app, which is proving increasingly erratic and unreliable, remain unconfirmed"
- Verstappen - Vettel!That has never worked, it didn't work in the previous incarnation of the app either. It has always been an approximation and I don't really get why they put it inthere.Juzzy82 wrote: Oh and the on-track guide is a POS - not accurate at all with cars bouncing around all over the track, swapping positions, pausing then driving at light-speed and there is a massive amount of lag between the on-track position indicator and the speed, etc. 80 km/h in the middle of Shanghai's main straight???
- Verstappen - Vettel!It was 10€ when it come out, I suppose it's kept that price.schumi7 wrote:How much does the app cost? A few years ago it was about €20, which is ridiculous.
