Since I'm kinda a "sector times freak", I've been contemplating about subscribing to F1 Access at the beginning of the season. After being told, that I would also be able to download a full access F1 mobile app in early april, I decided to go for it. We are now nearing the end of may and we are six races into the championship and still nothing. So I decided to ask them about it.
This is what i got in reply:
Thank you for your email.
Unfortunately, there is currently no subscription connection available between the Official F1 App and Formula1.com.
We realise you are disappointed, and so are we.
We sincerely apologise that we’ve not been able to deliver this feature yet.
While we hoped to have this ready in time for the start of the season, and the app development team have been hard at work trying to build the connection, it’s proven more difficult than anticipated.
As a result, unfortunately, we cannot give you a fixed date when this will be ready.
We can, however, promise that we are working hard to ensure that the feature, intended to be a bonus feature, will be available as soon as it’s ready and fully tested.
Once again, we apologise but you have our full commitment to bring this feature as soon as possible so you can enjoy both services with a single subscription.
And when i first asked about the app being available, nobody mentioned anything about this being a "bonus feature", just that they are having some problems, which would be solved shortly.
This post is just a heads up for anyone thinking about subscribing to F1 Access, like me.
Just buy the app - you can still get it to run on your PC/Mac. F1 Access is OK when you are at home, but I don't carry my laptop with me around on sundays.
