F1 Mobile Racing for Negative User Reviews
✓ Major Issues and concernsI’ve been playing the game for an extend period of time now and keep running into the same issues such as, when in a race and driving straight on the racing line with the AI cars either behind or in front of me fighting for positions and coming off of the track, when they re-enter track they regularly hit into my car trying to get back on the racing line and give me contact violation even though I’m unable to avoid the AI car which severely affect my position in the race. On top of this I keep experiencing random moments where the in game screen goes black while Im racing but the controls and placement indicators are still visible but I’m still unable to see where the car is going and it seems to only happen when I’m doing well on a track going to overtake into 1st forcing me to have to quit otherwise the screen will not return to normal and it has happened multiple times since I initially started the game and it’s starting to become a very aggravating issue.Version: 3.3.14
✓ DisappointedI was really hyped for this game because i really love F1. But i began to play and the controls are pretty limited. I have an iPhone 7 Plus so its pretty big so with the buttons being so far apart its a bit hard to play. I wish there was a way to customize the controls so you can have the layout in any way you want instead of choosing between just tilt, or one type of button layout. Next are the duels. Very cool idea but right at the beginning you get crashed into by 3-ish different AI drivers so the actual person you’re against ends up a good 5+ seconds ahead. Next i was expecting to be able to play as a real F1 driver and not as some imaginary driver in a made up car. Also, the driving line is pretty bad. Most of it is green even when you should be braking. So of course i keep driving without braking because the line is green but end up being too fast in a corner even though it never said to brake. Other than that the game is good however the four points i mentioned (especially the second and fourth) really hinder the fun potential that this game possesses :(.Version: 1.0.5
✓ A waste of Codemasters’ timeWhoever at FOM thought it would be a good idea to use CM’s time to create this shameless piece of garbage, shame on you. You’re basically telling everyone Formula 1 doesn’t care about the quality of what it is presenting the fans. This is an underdeveloped, clumsy, ugly and worthless game. Please don’t update this in the future, Codemasters’ time is much better spent on the F1 console and PC games..Version: 2.2.2
✓ Too much hand holding at the beginningUnfortunately the devs have decided to treat *all* players like they are 5 yrs old - meaning a lot of hand-holding with assists turned up so much that realistically, the player is expectedly fail spectacularly on their first race (last place is definitely *not* in the realm of “impossible”!). for instance, many times having full steering assistance means driving straight into AI cars when you’re trying to get around them simply because the system us trying to keep your car in the racing line (regardless of what stupid obstacles [other cars] are in the way) another example, if you’ve ever watched F1 racing, when a car goes off into the gravel, they do *NOT* come to a complete stop in 5m! they in fact end up travelling a whole lot further when they on racing slicks and travelling more than 100 mph even on gravel. in short, while the game is “an official F1 game”, it is no way worthwhile compared to Real Racing 3 (which also introduced the *same* F1 cars a few updates ago!), you’re better off comparing this game to Asphalt 7 or 8 instead - i can only say i’m disappointed in design of the game mechanics regarding braking, general player assistance etc.....Version: 1.20.2
✓ Nothing that we want is changingWow, I really cannot believe how this game changed for the worst. I deleted the app last year out of frustration with the duels system, and I’d only really play single player, and now you guys have taken away the only thing that mattered for the players... how can you remove single player? The cars aren’t even fun to drive, without assistance there’s not even a hint of a challenge. The only challenge is avoiding getting power loss from questionable corners cuts, and when it brakes for you if you hit a chicane in a weird way. I honestly can’t believe I have nothing good to say about my experience so far, and I am pretty disappointed that I have 2.4 gigs worth of data for a game that’s not even fun... it’s as if whoever was making the game is trying to get fired honestly... it’s embarrassing..Version: 3.1.5
✓ Slam bam ty Mamn!Holy Toledo bat man. If I get rammed by one more car on purpose I’ll get a serious concussion in real life! That and some major glitch’s constantly takes a great deal of the fun appeal away from this other wise really super duper cool racing game. (Please make a NASCAR version🙏🙏🙏) without the Mayhem and glitches of course. I took screen shots of one of the many frozen in time after maths when the game locked up after getting creamed by the other dude I was racing of course. If you want a list of ALL the glitches I experience I’ll be happy to share especially cause I think I was silly in purchasing the VIP monthly package. Please do something SERIOUS about the crashers and bangers. My car should NOT get penalized and DNF because of some other dude. Thanks for listening to my rant from Canada! Eh! ;)))).Version: 1.9.0
✓ Audio and pitsI think you can add some audio like in the F1 games on pc, would really make it more interesting and more challenging if pitting was added (tyre pressure, front wing, etc.) overall pretty fun..Version: 1.11.3
✓ It’s almost greatThis game is almost great but really shows how EA has taken over Codemasters, Basically impossible to be competitive unless you spend money, Duel Matchmaking is horrible matching you with people in leagues much higher giving you no shot from the get go.Version: 5.2.48
✓ Practice needs to be addedI hope the devs see this… overall, I really like the game. However, there needs to be improvements that’s why it gets a 3-stars rating from me. Firstly track limits… the limits are very unrealistic compared to real life. Just 1 pixel beyond the curbs and I am slowed down due to track limits. This is unacceptable and needs to be rectified because track space is needed. Secondly, some curbs on the game for some reason slows us down… i.e curbs on the Netherlands track - this needs to be rectified. Lastly, we need a practice mode. The game expects us to learn the track in one round of qualifying on events, but you are dead wrong. There needs to be a practice mode not just on events but it needs to be a permanent feature on the game so that players are able to learn the track (with different weather settings too). With this feature, I believe track knowledge would improve which will lead to better racing and better track times, and better competition. This are the things I wish to highlight to the developers and hopefully work according to this. The game used to be good before but now it’s getting effy. I hope the devs see this. Thanks.Version: 5.2.41
✓ Unrealistic matchmaking and glitchesThe game would be better if matchmaking is fair and if they fix the glitches.Version: 4.3.19
✓ Enjoyable, but update has taken a step backwardsThoroughly enjoy the game for mobile play but I have some similar thoughts to others. Duel mode drivers intentionally drive into you and ghost prediction does not do enough to protect against this. I’ve also found duel competitors driving deliberately into other cars to force them into a spin which then crashes into you. No way back into a race when your opponent races without fair intentions. The update to force you to pay to customise skins for duels is poor money grabbing and a shame to lose that customisation abilities without paying. Especially when the base skins are pretty unattractive and garish colours! I still face dead controls at times. I will be mid-race in duels or in career mode and go to turn and the screen just won’t respond, pushing you off track, losing places at the imperative points in the race. Console versions include rewind where you can rectify small errors, this could be a great addition to avoid losing those final race points to clinch a title. Another issue since the most recent update is blackscreening. I was half way into lap 3/3 of my final race of a season, .3 seconds ahead in first and with about 6 turns to go, when the whole screen went black with no way back. To get the race back I’ll have to spend coins to start again - all for something that wasn’t my fault!.Version: 3.4.21
✓ Really good but awfully strangeI have had this game for a long time and was chuffed since I put in so much effort in the 2021 season to get to Mercedes but it went to the 2022 season which is understandable but for some reason my iPad had been working at iPad performance before I downloaded this game and for some reason I’m fairly certain it is this game the bottom left corner of my screen just does not respond and I go straight into a wall and since it takes about 11 hours after you watch an ad and your two -15% on the car I can only manage in 2 to 3 races a day because of going into walls like if Monaco or Azerbaijan is coming up that’s the only race I can do in that day the game is really good and enjoyable plus no drivers in the cockpits just pure emptiness ? Come on that’s easy to do but great game just minor issues now my iPad is so annoying when I’m typing because I need to click the letters on the left side like 10 times for it to appear might need to get it fixed idk so overall great game just that not so minor issue.Version: 4.0.48
✓ Unplayable in Duel ModeIt’s a free game so you won’t be out of pocket for downloading it. As you will discover its best-in-case however in duel mode (ie playing against other players), well that’s when its become unplayable. Your opponents will have zero resources but somehow outpace you (and its not due to driver skill). Furthermore cheating is the norm - you will be hit from all directions (100%). Anyhow enjoy the game but do yourself a favour, do not spend any actual money because if your do, then you will quickly realise that this doesn’t’t give you any advantage (upgrading parts, resources, cars, etc) because none of this actually matters. As for the developers, yes you have a gem of a game but instead of focusing your efforts into being at the forecast of being two steps ahead of your competitors, why not just settle for being one step ahead and figure how to resolve this ever-growing issue which results in ‘paying customers’ like me, deleting your game because its no longer fun to play..Version: 1.9.0
✓ Gradually becomes unplayable…F1 Mobile Racing is a Formula 1 fan’s piece of pocket entertainment. The graphics are great, the multiplayer races are fun and the career mode is actually pretty cool. You can customize your own car or buy an official licensed livery, using parts to upgrade it and challenging other players on all of the iconic F1 circuits around the world. BUT… there is a caveat, unfortunately. Three, actually. And quite large ones too. First caveat: SO. MANY. BUGS. EA, Codemaster, Eden… whoever is responsible for the actual making of this game. Please fix the bugs and glitches. It’s not fun to lose 91 trophies because the game programming screwed up. The second problem is that this game IS pay to win. It’s EA, so… did you expect any different? Very powerful cars with great stats cost a pretty penny. For instance, buying a Ferrari or Red Bull vehicle would require actual money because unlocking it through in-game currency would quite literally take a lifetime (if you don’t believe me, downlod the game and try and see how much time you’d need to get 4000 coins). Upgrades are also very costly which means your capabilities as a driver are severely limited. The last issue builds onto the first, and it’s terrible matchmaking. Once you reach the Pro League, I would even go as far as to suggest uninstalling the game unless you plan on spending money on it. Every ranked race you have at Pro League, minus one or two exceptions, will be against completely maxed out players, with cars unlocked through real money and stacks and stacks of upgrades which make the cars unstoppable (and I do mean unstoppable). Whether through yet another glitch in the game’s programming or some light hacking, it’s not unusual to see these players ram into AI cars with zero damage, zoom straight across corners and fields of grass and have speed WAAAAYYY faster than your default car could ever achieve. Look, I get it, EA needs a return on investment. But the truth is, this has a huge impact on gameplay and I can’t deny it: the races become dull and boring after Pro League because I always lose against super powerful players. But if you really want to give this game a try, don’t let me stop you, please do. For what it’s worth, I can say the game is very fun in the beginning, and if you just want to race around the tracks for practice, then this game could be perfect for you. If competition and skilled gameplay is what you seek, however, then I would advise looking elsewhere..Version: 4.7.4
✓ Pause the game when I get a cal!Good engaging and challenging game. But my god did anyone test this on a mobile phone? When you get a call it does not pause. All progress lost. Also the controls aren’t as good as real racing fun. There’s a disconnect between turning and what actually happens. Feels more like keyboard controls than the accelerometer fine turning. Some UI elements also missing. Overall lap time? Only gives sector split. Graphics could get a boost. Utilise the iPhone for its worth. feature request for the gamer trying to improve lap time - give a lap breakdown chart..Version: 1.3.5
✓ What is this joke?Here I am trying to have a proper race then the other crashes into me and I get the engine penalty? What the hell? How is that fair? He rams into me and I lose the race cause they got away with it? Honestly please fix this, it’s ruining the game.Version: 1.9.0
✓ TimeWhen playing the game I can rarely play more than one race online in quick succession, if I try to play more it says I cannot connect to the game servers when I have 4 bar connection and full Wi-Fi. The game has also been under maintenance for more than 14hrs and yet says to try back in a short while. Finally the career mode is way too expensive, after about 3 races you need to perform maintenance but this costs around three level ups worth of tokens. You get nowhere near enough xp as it is only from the challenges and not just from racing so for every 3 races in career mode you have to play around 30 online. This has put me in a bad situation as it takes me about a day to play 10 online races because of the ‘connection issues’. The game seriously needs fixed and maybe updating the racers and teams. I don’t really want to be playing f1 in 2022 with Bottas at Mercedes and both giovanazzi and raikönnen still racing..Version: 3.6.22
✓ RammingThis game is great, except for the bad players or rammers. Those players should not be allowed to play here, the smash into people just for the sake of winning. The game doesn’t penalize them, instead, they award them with points when they won the duel. Lost so many races because of those. Although there is a safety rating for players, but it’s useless. Hopefully one day, the developers stop awarding points for those with low safety rating and disallow them to play against clean drivers..Version: 2.3.14
✓ Tired of getting spun out by other playersThis is a really fun game and I really enjoyed it when I first got it, but now it’s almost getting to the point where I just don’t play the game and want to delete the app. I’ve had countless races where I’ll be going around a corner and my opponent hit the back of my car and spins me out, and it’s very frustrating. It would be awesome if there was some way to detect this action going on between a player and another player. A consequence for spinning out another player should be implemented, like when corners are cut, or you slam into an opponent and the engine power dies. Since this game is suppose to be very realistic, people who play this game and choose to spin people out should at the very least be given a 10 second penalty for doing this action. In the British Grand Prix, Kimi Raikkonen spun out Lewis Hamilton, it was deliberate and Raikkonen said he deserved the penalty, which was a 10 seconds off his total time. Please fix this issue and make this game more realistic, someone who spins a F1 car out on purpose in real life wouldn’t just go on to win the race they’re in, so it shouldn’t be that way in this game either..Version: 1.7.3
✓ To the developers and anyone spending money.Last time this company had a major update it went from a high quality game to a mediocre one but worst of all the money that was spent on the game by us customers was basically wasted. Understand that what you put in you fiXXne priXXnt is basically meaningless no matter what your attorXXneys have told you. Taking away the benefits of a previous purchase is illegXXal and subject to crimXXal and civXXil actiXXon. In short the new cars must cannot lose the progression that was previously earned through time progress or money spent. Consider this email as serXXvice for a claXXss actiXXon lawXXsuit if this happens again with your 2022 update. Personally I have spent somewhere in the 4 figure range or at least close to that on this game. Going through a class action lawXXsuit is not something I feel like initiating as my schedule is busy enough but I will simply out of principle if forced to. Obviously I enjoy the game and play it daily when I have breaks, please don’t make me regret spending the money and time that I have. This is old and apparently didn’t go through when I wrote it..Version: 4.3.19
✓ A good game with room for improvementThis is an enjoyable game and will keep you busy. There’s a lot of good features and options on car setup in regards to parts. The problems arise when racing other opponents who simply run into you and smash you off the track leaving you loosing points. Track limits aswell don’t seem to work, for instance in monza turns 6 and 7 people run off track and don’t loose time this happens on numerous tracks. The start, come on guys you can’t have both cars just running at the same speed until the line!!? Instead the speeds differ constantly and always leads to an unfair start either way. One last thing, when racing other computer cars they seem to just veer off the road when your on the racing line and they can’t get to it, sometimes smashing into you and ending your race. Any chance when you activate DRS the wing could open visually!? On the whole a very good game with so much potential, just hope the issues are fixed —————————————— I see the problems with other players just ramming into you and ending your race still hasn’t been resolved (no penalty’s for them or disqualification) and now constant problems when loading up for a duel as over 50% of them don’t load up and I still loose points!!!!!! You have lost a player until you resolve these issues. I would like a Grand Prix career mode but if you can’t sort the simple issues then there is no hope for this. So much potential just not utilised.Version: 1.2.2
✓ Sort out!I can only remember one good battle I’ve had with someone... one experience out of hundreds is stupid. They swipe at you, take you out and get no penalty! But when you get back on circuit you get a corner cutting penalty. Speaking of corner cutting penalties, you should not get penalised for going slightly off track. This is noticeable at Japan through 130r where you run slightly wide and the car just slows right down, this needs sorting now! After competing in the online races, you get to see how good the opponents cars are (nice feature) but ever since the update it only ever says ‘0’, and yet their cars are from 0.5 to 1 second faster than my highly upgraded car on the straights... brilliant!! Why are the AI cars speed so inconsistent? You go from grid start where they are unbeatable on the straights to being really slow to fast again. Moving to sprint races is better ‘cause you can race the AI as the cars are more equal to you but sprint races and grid starts are soooo rare. You can do 10 qualy events and have maybe 1 or 2 grid/spring races. Please fix this!!.Version: 1.15.6
✓ The worst game I have ever had the misfortune to playThis game is the worst possible mix of Formula One and online playability I’ve ever seen. From the terrible online community to the bugs that make me fly up in the air, ruin my car and make me feel overall like this is just a horrible game. 1. The “safety rating” is completely arbitrary. It goes up and down no matter what I do. If I have a clean race I’ll go down .2 points. If I have a bad race I could go up by .5 points. It doesn’t make sense. 2. Going off the track. Whenever I even touch the grass I immediately go down from 250km/h to 20. It doesn’t make sense. I hit the wall, down by 100km/h. 3. Online games. I’m almost always placed with someone who has 400 “performance indicator points” more than I do. I always race at the same 4 tracks: Russia, China, Brazil and Mexico. So many bugs attributed to the online races. If I had a book deal for about 20 full length books I could tell you every problem. 4. Why can’t I use the app without wifi, even when you have a single mode? That to me is one of the biggest problems. Like I said, if I could write 20 full length books I could tell you every problem I have with this game. But I don’t think any of the developers would listen to me..Version: 1.11.3
✓ Good but so many bugs!It’s a fun game but there are so many bugs that ruin the experience. Some that I have encountered: - AI cars drive erratically and crash into you - Sprint race started half way round the track rather than at start line - Cars (or just the wheels) fly through the air - It often won’t let me use the accelerator on a rolling start until countdown says Go by which time opponent is already almost 1s in front - on some tracks rolling start is only at like half throttle and opponent can end up 3 tenths in front when GO - It occasionally won’t let me steer and on one occasion I went straight into the barrier on a rolling start and DNF’d (loosing points) - When on a rolling start there’s been a couple times the game has made cars crash into each other - Not sure if this one’s a bug or just people but opponents often crash into you. (I know there’s the driver rating thing, but how does it know who crashed into who? It feels like the game is giving me a bad rating because people keep crashing into me. Either that or there’s a lot of evil in the world) - R&D Timer counter often starts counting negative rather than finishing and I have to force quit the app (really common, about 1/3 the time) - After finishing one duel, the timing end screen never came up and I had to force quit the app - One time, the race never started for me but I could hear it start in the background, had to force quit (losing the duel and points).Version: 1.3.5
✓ Single player great but duels mode needs fixingI love the brilliant simulation/build of all the tracks, and the single player racing. The duels however have lots of problems which make competent in the game very unfair at times. For example, you may be matched with someone who has got a lot more trophies, meaning they have many more r & d points, meaning they unfairly go a lot faster around the track. Secondly, the AI in the either sprint race or grid start duels are very frustrating, often ramming into me and pushing me of the track. Strangely AI are a lot better in single player mode. This ramming can also be carried out by opponents, only if quick enough however, to avoid the poor collision avoidance thing, which is rather delayed in my opinion and therefore doesn’t really help. I think this game has great potential if the duels were fixed. It is also frustrating as playing duels is the only way to work through the leagues and unlock the new tracks. I have been trying so hard to gain enough trophies to get the Monaco track but due to all the issues, it’s taking a while! The game has a great concept but just needs a bit of tidying up. Definitely worth downloading for free, or if you want to memorise each track before each race weekend!.Version: 2.6.15
✓ Tilt option doesn’t work on my iphone 13 pro maxThe tilt steering option doesn’t work on my device after this new update. It was working fine until yesterday and i updated it today it isn’t working now..Version: 3.3.14
✓ Buggy steering controlsI’ve tried getting into this game over the past week, but the controls are just way too buggy. I’d say about 1/3 of my races end in a frustrating manner due to the steering buttons suddenly becoming unresponsive in the middle of a turn. There might be some sort of bug related to the ability to move the buttons around. I don’t see a need to move the position of buttons during an actual race, just let us set up where the buttons are placed once somewhere in the settings, then use those settings in every race. That would be way better than nearly half our races the buttons glitching out and causing the cars to ram into walls or go off the track due to the steering buttons not responding at all..Version: 2.0.26
✓ Average gameThis game is fairly average but somewhat underwhelming. While using an iPhone X, I continuously run into segments of extremely low frame rate, which makes the game unplayable. Furthermore, when racing on single player, if your race on easy difficulty, you are wildly faster than the other drivers on the straights and will almost always finish first. However if you move the difficulty up to medium, your car won’t be fast enough to catch up to the main pack, even if you hit your lines perfectly. Of course the way around this is to pay real money to unlock better cars, or put in countless hours to upgrade your car. If you are looking for an authentic F1 experience, this is not the game to download. This game is a poor excuse to try and make money off of users and has huge room for improvement. Perhaps if you want a proper f1 game, you should consider purchasing the full game on console, as this was not worth downloading..Version: 2.2.2
✓ PenaltiesHonestly, there needs to be penalties implemented into the game. Sometimes I get rammed at the last corner then I lose knowing they didn’t get a penalty. Cutting the tracks is an issue too. I understand the controls are difficult on mobile but players abuse it often. Overall the game is pretty fun too play..Version: 0.15.10
✓ Not worthy of the F1 license.In what universe does the official F1 game not have pitstops, tire wear, and races past 3 laps?.Version: 4.3.19
✓ Epic failureThis game is now an absolute waste of time. It has had major issues for over a month and it remains not only repetitive, boring and unstable, but to a large extent unplayable. No matter how advanced your car is you are matched against lower powered bots who are faster than you unless in a specific duel mode when winning is so easy it's not even enjoyable. Track choice in duels is limited to the same four or five circuits for the duration of one month. An entire month racing the same tracks over and over!! I could understand these failings if players were being offered new ways to interact with the game, like longer laps or pit stops, but it is the same game as it was in 2016. Why is it getting worse?? And sure, we have wet tracks now which is maybe the worst implementation of the idea of racing in the wet I have ever seen..Version: 4.5.12
✓ Still in BetaNew update is in. Cars are harder to control - using manual braking the handling seems to be much more magnified and braking has to be much harder. The new safety rating just doesn’t work. if you get a run of qualis your safety rating goes up 0.2 for each qually. make any sort of contact in an actual race, your rating drops. it still feels as though it’s in beta. Most races seem to be good and fair but 1 in 10 races the AI goes completely haywire. you can be in the lead and suddenly Vettel will have turbo boost and fly over your head. It’s also a terrible idea to compromise the way the car drives if you accidentally cut a corner. why not just have a stewards enquiry and dock time from the race result? Similarly, if someone hits you from behind and spins you out, then a stewards enquiry should penalise that driver, not let them win and dock you points. Sometimes the sound cuts out. if your mobile signal drops or the duel fails to load (a frequent occurrence) again you get docked points. this definitely has potential but needs work. i’d also like to see a career mode, multi lap races, better selection of races (just had 12 qualies in a row) and better AI. Sometimes the game penalises you before giving you control - drives another car into yours giving your opponent an unfair advantage. finally we always see weather and tyre choices but they never change. would be nice to see some rain....Version: 1.5.8
✓ Greedy GameThe game itself is fantastic to play. Sometimes it can get a little buggy if you’ve been playing for an extended period on your phone, but that’s understandable with the graphics and gameplay. However, you definitely have to pay to win and with the new update it’s even greedier. If you want to have a competitive car, you have to win parts to upgrade your card, but the only way to do that is to accumulate points, but the only way to accumulate points is to win races, which you really struggle to do Without upgrades. See the vicious circle? I pay a monthly VIP fee, and I’m fine with it, however the most recent upgrade could’ve been fantastic, and instead just showed their greed even further. They could’ve allowed pointless parts that I’ve accumulated, some by racing, others by already paying the vip fee, to be converted into upgrades for other parts. But no, yes I can now convert them, but in order to convert a needless part for say 1 high level card upgrade (2700 pts) it costs me 54 credits. So $2 every-time I want to convert a part that I’ve earned and already paid for? The double charging is ridiculous, Why not like 10 credits? Because it’s not to improve the game, it’s to make your pockets fatter. Bad form!.Version: 1.22.6
✓ Version 2 Ruins GameJust updated the game to version 2 and a few issues have shown themselves a few mentioned are after the update itself. AI- The AI drivers in the game have a mind of their own, I know the game is fairly new and coming from playing the pc variant of the game the AI have only been fixed this year, but in online duels they are more of a hindrance than the other player themselves. Safety Rating- Further from the AI issue, I get a collision warning and my safety rating goes down because of the AI rear ending me where they should either brake or avoid hitting me. Assists- After updating all assist have now been broken and I have tried numerous setting to find a fix but auto brake doesn’t work even on full. You just spear off on the first corner when in the previous version you would be able to race stably on medium. Network- Still after version 2 update the server would crash on WiFi and also 4g leaving me in most cases a dnf and also losing a portion of my trophies. I’m in league 4 now but it’s still hit and miss with if I’m in a reliable duel. Overall I’m felling a bit let down with this update as the core gameplay was much better before, but I am really enjoying the game, as I say I’m in league 4 now and have put a bit of time into the game now. Hoping that the issues that I have mentioned can be fixed either with another update soon or a hot fix patch to remove the assist issues at least so I can continue playing..Version: 1.5.8
✓ I love F1 but this is a bit garbageConstant ramming, can’t pass because of the steering assist not letting you pull out to pass without just putting it in the wall, clutch button often doesn’t work correctly off starts, on one occasion the throttle stopped working mid straight causing me to lose, frustrating issues.Version: 1.11.3
✓ Useless damage meterGood graphics and everything but way too easy to take damage in career mode. You have to spend heaps of coins every 3 races to fix it and after a while you don’t have enough so your car is useless and unable to compete. Need to fix the amount of damage taken because I do one perfect qualifying round and I take 3% damage which is stupid and then a perfect race and I’m somehow up to 15% and after 30% damage the car is useless. Stupid add on to the game would be so much better without it, or without having to pay to fix it..Version: 3.3.14
✓ This game needs to be fixed ASAP!!!Literally unplayable! Why do you continue to add things to a game that doesn’t work properly? Yes we appreciate the wet weather tracks, slip stream, etc but you can’t even play it. Duel Mode, The best part of the game is completely broken. Your lucky to get 1 match and then after that nothing. Can’t even press cancel, you just have to wait for it until it says can’t find a match. For the odd time when you can do a race, the AI are so slow your lucky if you don’t smash up the back of them. Also it’s never a competition. My opponents finish like 20 secs behind me, I mean what is with that. Every time you see that there is an update you have hope that it finally works but it doesn’t. The way the game is now I would’ve taken it off the App Store and then added it back as a new game when you’ve fixed and tested everything. It’s just ruining the games reputation!! Do you try these games out before releasing an update?.Version: 4.3.19
✓ The Good, the Bad and the UuuuggglyFirst of all ... fun game, fun pastime. Great graphics. Fun to “build” my own machine. I give it only a 2-star rating for all the questionable things. If I wanted to play bumper cars I would get a different app. Since when does an opponent in a race get to drive aggressively, shove other drivers, including me, off the track, cause collisions and not get penalized? Instead, now they have the lead which cannot be overtaken. And I’m the one who gets penalized in my driving performance, even if I run a perfect, “clean” race. Similarly, since when does an opponent in a race get to cut a corner, often in a huge way, come back on the track and not get penalized? Or their penalty is so short it is as if they never went off the track. If I do the same thing on the same track at the same corner my penalty is so long that I might as well forfeit the race. If I run a perfect, “clean” race on one of the most technically difficult circuits and happen to win, why is my reward a so much lower in points, whereas, on the same circuit I run the same perfect, “clean” race and lose with a penalty of much higher points. My point is there are a lot of holes in the app, in the racing logic, in the overall delivery of the app. Fix all the holes, make the racing more like the real thing with penalties where there should be penalties, rewards where there should be rewards, equitable scoring where there should be equitable scoring and I will consider a higher rating..Version: 2.5.10
✓ About as reliable as Pastor Maldonado. Forces you to spend money for NOTHINGI love F1. I am passionate about everything to do with F1. I am hugely disappointed with the functionality of this game despite the generally large investment in not only time, but also money I have put into this game. In any other circumstances I would have returned this game to get my money back. The in-race rules do not work efficiently and the controls do not work. On most occasions when a race starts, the steering inputs and brakes are in different locations and often the brake pedal is partly under one of the steering inputs. Why don’t you just have a screen to enable you to move those during loading or presets instead of moveable inputs during a race which are seemingly randomly allocated each time. Also, and this one of the main reasons for regretting the time and money invested into this game, why can’t you brake and steer at the same time?? All too often I have been leading a race, trying at best to keep a clean race by braking to only find that when I have braked, the steering input no longer registers and I go straight on into a wall. At worst I am not leading a race and the same happens. I hate the fact I have wasted additional time in even having to write this as I’m sure it won’t be read. This game is about as reliable and consistent as Pastor Maldonado....Version: 1.21.21
✓ OkThe steering wheel update is so good but I have a lot of issues. Firstly are the ai in career mode are op. I get a perfect start and I still lose like 4 positions before turn 1. Secondly getting coins is too hard. Like in career mode I always use coins to not DNF even when I’m saving for a red bull. Also controls are a bit awkward. I have some tips for EA. 1. Let us choose our own steering wheel I hate the default one. 2. Add an option for ABS to be turned off because dive bombing is too easy man I’m like last and in one corner I’m like 3rd. 3. I NEED TRACTION CONTROL OFF!!!! Like I want to wrestle the car through the corners not just easily glide through. 4. The gears. Why does an f1 car go to 6th gear??!! In real life they go to 8th!!! 5. Tracks. We need more tracks. Add like Monaco back Las Vegas or zandvoort! And in career let us do a full 23 race season! Conclusion: In conclusion it’s an alright game bit buggy at times but still the best f1 game out there (on mobile).LESS ADS..Version: 5.2.48
✓ Great game has some issuesThis game has some great aspects. I love the card aspect of building the car. The reward system is decent that could be refined. There is some glare issues on some tracks that makes it almost impossible to see the track in front of you. Those would be Italy and Silverstone. This game also has an issue with during tools, and during any match, there are server disconnects, which are absolutely positively irritating. It happens far too often. That is some thing that absolutely needs to be fixed ASAP. It’s not an issue on my end at perfectly. Good Wi-Fi. I would also say it needs improvement on getting the actual cars used in real life some of the bar little too expensive. The server connection issues are absolutely excruciating. Also, the match pairing system is not very good. It will predominantly put you against cars that are far more advanced than yourself. I understand they want me to buy a car, but I did form you not everybody has a in disposable income and can afford a $20 car and a free game! 3rd the devils do not listen to any of the players, which is a common thing with EA. 30 years ago, EA was in a releasing groundbreaking games. Now they’re a shell of themselves. And just predominantly release absolute. Like the game you’re about to download. Download at your own risk..Version: 5.2.48
✓ Loses connection to game serverPlay the intro round, then lose connection to server. That’s all..Version: 4.5.12
✓ Who makes the decisions?Because of a bug in the game last year I received additional coins and tokens. Now the game developers have reset all my coins and tokens and I dont have enough to even minor repair my car. I’m level 85 (was over 100 last season) and into Legend season. And playing professional level. I had ten million tokens, around 10,000 coins that I had mainly earned this season and now I can’t even play an event. I’m done!.Version: 5.1.9
✓ It’s not what you thinkSo, the game is good. First and foremost let’s get that out the way. However, the game isn’t made for your diehard fan who knows the quickest racing lines. It’s mainly about keeping all four wheels in between the lines to have a chance of winning. Yes? And? Well, for you true fans out there that know a lot about tracks and F1 in general, trying to take the quickest line will end up in frustration and not wanting to play. THINK ABOUT MOMENTUM. You may have the quicker car but if you’ve taken a few corners slightly to tight (Not necessarily leaving the track, you just took a corner too tight) well, your race is pretty much over. Watch your opponents car disappear into the distance. You’ll bit hit with *CORNER CUT* and watch your car stop on the track for a few seconds. The same goes for turning the car, it’s about momentum again. You often get whacked off the track by your opponent which puts you in gravel or on the grass at 30mph struggling to reach the track. Asking yourself, why do I bother? I’ve put quite a few hours into the game which is no surprise because it is a good game, there are just a few things that need changing to make this one of the best free games out there (it probably already is when it comes to ratings and downloads lol) Developers, please change the corner cuts to a more realistic expectation (Watch a few F1 races to know what we mean).Version: 3.6.22
✓ Single mode is good online sucksMy online experience has been pretty terrible I’ve been only focusing on having a safe contact free race, regardless of winning or losing just to try and boost my safety rating but light contact with the AI is decreasing it. Also players that hit me from all angles I see myself get a penalty for no reason. I don’t even care about leagues or getting more points as it’s totally pointless. What could be done is just having the player race the AI without any other player in the game and the better time or outcome win, or something like that would be much better. I love the single mode for this game learning the tracks and the events is what makes it interesting to me. I wish single mode had a qualifying feature where you qualify and get that position in a 1-3-5 lap race. Having a harder AI than “hard” would be nice as well. Overall is a fun game besides online, although it eats a lot of battery. Was originally 3 stars but down to 2 because the game crashes when I try and do a single person race almost every time, fix it PLEASE.Version: 1.9.0
✓ Matchmaking disasterGood game but trash match making , seems to put me up against players that are on twice my level so basically pointless even racing them as their cars are 2 to 3 seconds faster .I’ll also add the career option so far is garbage I can’t even compete with these cars and I’m on level 34 already , trying to even pass a car is almost impossible let alone making it to pos 16…another problem is the T currency is nonexistent upgrades are now costing me 20,000 T’s and you only get 300 or something like that a win…another problem is for a win you get 100 experience points but if you lose it’s minus 70 or something…EA sports have some good games like Toca touring cars but this is like a few levels done …stop being so greedy guys and at least make matchmaking closer to everyone’s level even if we have to race bots on same level..Version: 5.1.9
✓ FIX THIS!!!This is a 5 star app..... however right now it it is a 1 star. With the most recent update, you get time added if you cut corners which is an amazing addition to the game, however there has been nothing done to solve the problem of dirty drivers, drivers who crash into your rear tire the moment you get in front of them and the drivers who push off the track. This makes the game unplayable. Nothing short or unplayable. So many people are abusing this and just winning all their races because of it and not because of their skill, I would strongly advise and ask as a user of this app that all duel races put both players into ghost mode to avoid this happening, even if it allows you to crash into the AI but not the other player, this would mean that the winner of the race is the fastest and most skilled driver as it always should be and not this disgusting strategy of crashing your opponent off the track and winning by cheating. Doing this would definitely make me rate this app 5 starts again, this is my favourite game on mobile and I believe it should be voted as the best mobile game ever, but not until this gets fixed, that’s how big of a problem this has become. Thanks.Version: 1.3.5
✓ I’ve had enough!!!!The game has potential but is freakiin annoying and frustrating. People crashing into you with no consequences, and if that wasn’t enough even the other cars try knocking you out. At one point my car was literally flying in the air, by the time it landed i was in last place having lost 5 sec. unbelievable.Not to mention the qualifications.....cars with less r&d points and yet they are able to beat you by a lot. You make people spend money and then you rog the races🤬🤬🤬🤬.Version: 1.22.8
✓ Unable to playKeeps getting stuck on the loading screen, I’ve tried re installing a few times and restarting my phone to see no difference.Version: 5.2.48
✓ Apple SiliconHey guys, nice that you are allowing this to run on Apple silicon macs, would also be awesome to get some keyboard and/or game controller support in there too as can't really play it using screen only..Version: 3.5.11
✓ Update is a downgrade?I’ve been playing this game for a few months now and i loved it before it got the new 2020 update, In my personal opinion i think the game was downgraded instead of updated. to begin with steering control isn’t as smooth as it used to be and it feels blocks and glitchy, secondly i would have really loved to see pit stops reintroduced as pit stops are a big part of a real f1 race. in said pit stops a choice of tires should show as options for the player to pick, i know that this isn’t really a fault but it is definitely something that would have made the game more realistic for players and fans. finally the option of multiplayer with would be a PERFECT addition to this game, either through email or facebook or even google accounts. beyond these points i think this game is great and has really gone to town on making the tracks feel more realistic with glare from the sun and better graphics for the cars. thanks for reading.Version: 2.0.26
✓ 2 little thingsI love this game so far, I have played it for 4 days straight. I love how it looks, once I got used to the controls I was actually getting better qualifying times. But what bothers me the most is how if I go off track there is no timer , or count down, for when you are about to be teleported back on the track. The amount of times I tried to re-adjust my wheel to get back on track, then get teleported, then immediately fly back off the track cause my wheel was facing the wrong way is crazy. I would like to know when the game is put me back in the track so I can reset my wheel and be ready to play the game again. Also I am a new player trying to play with less assistance, why is there not a practice mode. I would like to run the tracks by myself to learn the tracks on my own. Why do I have to play online, with others, and lose cause I don’t know the track yet. I should be able to learn the tracks if I want, and then race others for points. So please, all I ask is for that timer, and a practice mode so I can play and learn on my own. Once those are in the game, the game should be rated a 5/5..Version: 3.6.22
✓ Good but needs serious improvement.Like the title says the game is good but needs serious improvement, once certain things have been fixed this could be the best racing game on iOS. But the ai are terrible and way to easy and the duels mode is good but it’s inconsistent and laggy at times. The handling is a little twitchy and some sort of penalty system needs to be added for rogue cars/drivers who believe that ramming you off the road is a way to win. Also I have been having a problem with the app running rogue processes and heating my phone up to the point when it lags and is physically unusable due to the heat from holding it, I have an iPhone X so running this game should be no problem and it is for the phone but when these rogue processes happen the game runs for about 5 minutes and then starts to crash, I’ve even had my phone shut down due to excessive heat! I also think that a championship single player should be added to the game as well as the ability to do a full 100% race and be able to choose what track, laps and tires you want to use In single/duel mode..Version: 1.1.0
✓ Game is now pay to winI reviewed this 5 stars previously, but now after playing a week of it, I can say we’ve been greatly deceived. I’m a long term player of this game, and before the aesthetics of the car being a red bull or Mercedes we’re strictly aesthetics. Now they determine whether you succeed in the game or not. A player should not have to pay $20 for buying these cars ($33 btw on full price!) to be competitive with other players who otherwise choose to spend so much money on a free game*, and in doing so get faster cars and leave the rest of us behind. A free game* should not be pay to win, otherwise is it really a free game…? This will greatly turn away long term and new players to the game and reduce customer/player traffic to this game. Please fix this, it is becoming really detrimental to the game..Version: 3.0.24
✓ Down For MaintenanceThe app has said it will be down for maintenance for a few hours but has been down for over a week..Version: 4.3.19
✓ Overall very mid, higher expectations for an officially licensed productTitle says it all…. Generally I’m not an avid gamer, but an overwhelming majority of the games that I have played are racing-type games. I thought the dueling piece of the game is the standout feature with quick loading times considering you have to get matched up with another player and wait for them to load in as well. That feature apart, the game feels clunky with below-average graphics. Perhaps this has something to do with the online nature of the game, but this genuinely feels like an off-brand racing game. The dated UI does not help either. However, ultimately why I uninstalled the game were the controls. The tilt steering, my preferred method of control in all racing games, is not calibrated well at all. It almost feels parabolic, in the sense that for minor turns it is very lethargic, then as you tilt more it becomes increasingly sensitive to the point that it is almost uncontrollable. Perhaps with more games a player can become accustomed to this, but this is ultimately why I uninstalled the game after a day. All these cons combine to feel like this is a beta at best, let alone a game from a major studio..Version: 4.7.4
✓ To F1 Mobile DevelopersFirst off, I want to say that for the most part the devs for this game are trying their best. But as someone who plays the f1 games on console regularly, this game is horrid comparatively. I was just playing career mode in rookie 2 because I dont play this game much and wanted to see if I would enjoy the career mode. I raced at Imola, and in the branded f1 games on pc and consoles, you can use the green strip on the inside wall of the start/finish straight to cut a little bit and perfect your line into the first corner. I tried to use it in this game and what happened? I got dropped from 8th all the way down to 12th because once you hit the green strip its like hitting a wall. Slowed me down from 150 MPH down to 80 MPH. Its like this on other tracks too, and the corner cutting is really inconsistent across tracks. Im not sure if the developers what actually classifies as a corner cut, but for anyone wondering, a true corner cut is when the full car, including the entire tire, is over the white line off the track. If half of your tire is still on the track, it cannot be classified as a corner cut/track limits. For that and a few other things I won’t get into (huge pay to win) I am going to have a hard time coming back to this game. Unless big changes are made to bring it more in line with its predecessors on console and pc..Version: 4.5.12
✓ Tweaks and Improvements you say?After latest update I’ve just had three consecutive races, was leading in all three but on one occasion suddenly lost connection with the server (so I was deemed to have lost) and in the other two my screen weirdly turned into portrait mode making it impossible to finish. I’m not sure your tweaks and improvements are actually making the game more stable/enjoyable..Version: 5.1.9
✓ Amazing Game but loading problems.I go to start a match and it’s in the loading screen then it’s almost finished and the loading bar stops and I have to restart the game and go through the start up loading screen again..Version: 1.1.0
✓ Absolutely AwfulThis game is the most annoying and impossible game to play ever made. It constantly lags, freezes and crashes and makes you pay to resume the race you were doing when it crashed. The ai just become uncatchable after about 3 corners. The ai all brake check you at turn one and make you crash. If you get a penalty for corner cutting or contact you are the slowest car on the grid for the rest of the race, even in a Mercedes. The ai get tons of slipstream from you and breeze past, you get no slipstream from the car ahead or drs even within 1 second. The hairpin at Monaco is literally impossible because your car will not turn half as tightly as it needs to and even if you break as hard as possible you still smash into the wall though all the ai can take it absolutely fine every time. Online opponents constantly hit you and take you out and you get a penalty. The corner cut penalty only needs one wheel off to penalize you rather than all 4. You constantly get matched with online opponents much better or worse than you so it’s either impossible or ridiculously easy every time. I genuinely cannot think of a single positive about this game and these issues need to be fixed soon because it is making the game impossible to play..Version: 3.2.16
✓ More Fair MatchmakingAgain, the 2021 game is perfect but Codemasters, you guys need to understand that not every game has to be near pay-to-win. Make the F1 cars more affordable for a player who wants to refrain from buying in game currency and earning it from duels and levelling up. Furthermore this has been a long standing issue that still has not been resolved. The matchmaking needs to be more fair, it’s obviously unfair for someone like me to duel a League 1 player whose best time is 3 seconds faster than me, what can I achieve? How is it good for a duel to be one-sided? Fix this. Lastly, some quests are done in game but I don’t get the rewards or unknown to measure. For the former, an example is levelling up your chassis to level 2. My chassis is level 4 already yet it says I haven’t completed the quest? For the latter, the “win 10 clean duels” what’s your definition of clean? Is it only for sprint and grid duels?.Version: 3.0.24
✓ Rule changesNot sure what this new system of reporting cheaters is doing other than nothing, I know I am sick of getting bumped out of a race by people that can’t win without cheating. Time for a new game. This one sucks.Version: 1.22.8
✓ Cheating is obvious in the gameAs much as I like it there are holes in the game that make it very unenjoyable at the best of times. I’ve sent the messages about these problems of which are said to be addressed, But it still seems to be no change. Take for example people with zero ai are faster, Corner more Recklessly (well off the track), and don’t get penalised at all. I think it’s fair to write this in the review when you consider what other people are writing is not dissimilar to this. I’ve been hit by other drivers which cost me my game, I’ve been hit and driven off the track which gave me a penalty which is so unfair and still the game authorities choose to ignore it. If you were to ask me if I’d recommend this game I’d say download Real Racing 3 Because at least the gameplay is better however if these bugs are fixed then I will change my mind..Version: 1.19.15
✓ Please bring back old versionOnly one star for graphics. That’s it, seriously. No more best lap time displays after the race. You can’t choose the car setup for track. It makes you choose the car before track is known, really? Prior version let you have three setups for high down force, high speed, balanced tracks. Oh and it told you what type of track it was. No single race, which is just not right. So I have to try out my set up on a duel and loose points if it’s not dialed in right. Also there seems to be even more hacking on this version already. Just not nowhere good as the prior game. Doesn’t feel natural. Track downloads take forever. I mean the only thing they had to do from prior is, update graphics- more realistic. Which they did sort of. Add maybe pit stop. Tyre selection. Some other weather except perfect sunny day. Real crashes. And enough with this cornering and having one tire off and you loose 50mph instantly. That’s total bull. There’s a lot to fix here. Should of not been released. Or fire who ever was the head developer. They have no real insight to the sport. And I loved the older version. This just doesn’t make me want to play and spend money on it. I’m trying to like it but too many negatives..Version: 3.0.24
✓ More about penaltiesSo I’ve just downloaded this game and already I can agree with the common theme said here... some players just purposely run into you, you hit the wall and they just keep on going. Also, players in front of me quiet often weave all over the track to the point of running on the grass and never seem to slow down? And I’ve found it’s not just other players but the comp cars will, when I guess the game wants to slow you down, will weave all over the road in front so as to make it impossible to pass without contact resulting in wall hit or off the track and slow down... could be a good game however as it is right now I can’t see myself playing for an extended time... fun for awhile but frustrating for the most part.Version: 1.3.5
✓ Game in need of LOTS of improvementThe game, is mostly great with nice graphics, decent physics plus good items are not painful to acquire and I would say is the best mobile racing sim out there however it isn’t without it’s flaws. Firstly, there are dirty drivers everywhere which made me waste 10 consecutive matches or around 30 minutes of game time. U guys can easily fix this by keeping a record of how many contacts a player has made and pair two players up based on how often they crash into another car. Secondly, whenever the game disconnects, the game thinks I purposefully quit on a race and makes me lose trophies even though I never participated in the race in the first place. If it weren’t for these problems, I’d easily rate this game 5 stars and make it a personal favourite in terms of mobile games..Version: 1.5.8
✓ So many bugsI think the handling of the car is a bit better in this update and the effect from the attributes is a bit more even. That part was good. But so many bugs and glitches. Too many to list them out. The worst bug that I’m experiencing at this point has to be with the AI under grid start duel. After I got to League 4 & 3 there was a sudden change in the AI where every car gets off the line faster than your car but then on turns they go extremely slow. My car setup leans towards 1)Light 2)power 3)aero. So it’s not like my setup has a slow start with super high handling/braking. I can also tell when I’m dueling a real person vs the AI because the other car will be either right next to me or accelerate right past me. The gameplay is ruined for grid starts. The AI acceleration and top end speed is much higher, so they all go by your car after the start, then on the first turn they all drop speed and form a traffic jam. You cant drive around them because it’s usually 2 cars side by side leaving zero track space to make the pass. And even is you manage to get around one car, you then have to block on the straight or the car will go around and make a pass. It’s impossible. I used to get top 3 finishes in the earlier leagues, now I get bottom 3 if I even finish… cause you know, if you try to make a pass and hit the other car then your car goes flying the other way. At that point the race is ruined. Anyway, there are a ton of other bugs. Hire a game tester..Version: 3.0.24
✓ Iphone12 don’t download!!!!!So since I’ve upgraded to the 12 the game has never worked.Version: 2.7.8
✓ Unfair playDeleting this app. I’m tired of being smashed off the track in a duel..Version: 1.22.8
✓ No voice during gameMany times!!!!.Version: 2.4.2
✓ I keep disconnectingI have lost multiple races due to disconnecting and it makes me pay coins if I want to replay it. You would think since you are racing against bots you wouldn’t need wifi to play this mode but you do.Version: 3.2.18
✓ Got better but with some exceptionsI have been playing a good while at this point and still enjoy the game despite some aggravating bugs. Before this recent update there was definite problems mostly small but duels especially had the most which included corner cutting, getting crashed out by your opponent, etc. After this new update it’s a great improvement. Visually looks amazing and feels how an F1 game should look/feel. Glad that I’m finally not seeing Grosjean or Kvyat in 2021. Duels have been a little better overall and haven’t dealt with dirty drivers. Main complaint is the fact there isn’t any single player races anymore. Granted there is a career mode now (still not released right from launch) which I’m very happy about but if career mode isn’t going to be live right away at least keep single player races. Other than that, still a great free to play F1 mobile game but hopefully CM will improve it and will update it at the beginning of the 2022 season instead of updating near the end of the season like it is now..Version: 3.0.24
✓ Flawed game.Even after the update it still isn’t working, there are too many people who don’t get the concept of racing, the two cars in the race should be both ghost cars against each other in all races and all other cars can be non ghost, this would stop the idiots who can not win by other means of just crashing into you. The program also will break your car automatically to allow the other car to win, or if you are clearly in front with a easy victory insight then it will place another car over the tract to cause you to collide with it and lose time. What is the point of collecting different car upgrades if you can not use them and are limited to eight, I currently have more parts which I am not using then are, I raced earns the points and accumulate the parts, let’s use them..Version: 1.6.26
✓ Good game but needs workLove the game!! But ......... Apart from the online players causing a collision to help them to win the race, I’m all about the hard racing and as they say “rubbings racing” but a pure act of deliberate crashing in to someone to give you an advantage is just not on or fair I understand every now and then out breaking yourself and accidentally crashing to try and overtake like professionals do but just not trying to break and taking out your opponent is not on there should be a report button that registers constant crashing and should result in a small ban for a day or two to show that unsportsmanlike behaviour is not tolerated in the other breath there should be a honour button when there is some excellent wheel to wheel racing with maybe special bonuses but my main issue for the last 3 weeks since I got over 1500 points and gone up a class I have been unable to play the game due to an error and I quote:- “ a serious error has occurred, the game will now restart now” I have tried deleting the app and reinstalling it, I have tried reporting the issue to Codemasters but no one has come back to me and the problem still persists, I have lost a lot of point earnings and f1 tokens. Due to this issue :(.Version: 1.5.8
✓ Great game! Just frustratingI love this game the graphics are fantastic and the developers have done a fab job with all the detail. I just get frustrated when I get rammed from behind from a car doing ridiculous speed knocking me off the track with no chance of clawing that time back. Another thing that gets to me is if I’m winning the race I then get an error saying that I’ve lost connection to the server it can’t be my internet connection because this ONLY happens when I’m winning and by some margin. For example the other play has spun out! Does this happen because they quit the race? If so then why do I still lose my points? I just hope this isn’t a glitch so people spend more money to move up the leagues. But Saying all that, when this game works it really works well ! 👍🏻 Since writing this about the game I feel it’s got worse! Just so many glitches. I win the race but still lose the car I’m racing doesn’t move off the line yet it still beats my sector times and I still keep getting kicked off normally as I’m very close to the finish line. As a result Ive found myself not playing this game anywhere near as much.Version: 1.5.8
✓ This game is great but needs workThis is a great mobile game, but during duel mode change is needed. Penalization is desperately needed for the dirty and utterly reckless drivers. Drivers will crash into you on turns and force you off the track. This has happened just to me numerous times, during the end of a race I was going to win, one at the start where i got pushed into a wall on a narrow straight and lost my wheel and the duel, and they’re are many more examples of this. Crashes are part of the game, I understand that, but when drivers are intentionally being provocative and causing accidents is unacceptable. I am disappointed in; 1) the lack of rules against these actions 2) lack of ability to report these bad drivers 3) lack of time penalization 4) the lack of helplessness to stop these actions. I hope some justice is brought to the drivers who do play by the rules and aren’t being overly aggressive and causing people duel losses due to their actions. Other than this major problem the game is very well put together, and definitely one of the better mobile games in the app store..Version: 1.4.1
✓ Bugs GlitchesThe new career mode and season are buggy and glitching I am so disappointed about this game now with this update..Version: 5.0.38
✓ Generally frustratingI’m really trying hard to enjoy this game but honestly it’s really frustrating. I have seen the small changes that have been made and there has been improvement but with the way things seem to be progressing I don’t see this being anywhere more than two stars for several months at least. AI are one issue and that’s okay but you already know the issues with Duels. I really think the suggestion of making all player races as ghosts would be an excellent temporary solution. I see the idea with engine power cutting for collisions and such but the amount of times I have been rammed from behind while minding my business on a straight and then had my power cut is appalling. I could definitely rate this 4 or 5 if the player races were ghost until other solutions are in place but right now the only way and the kindest description I can give for the game is “generally frustrating”..Version: 1.8.17
✓ Great game but there is too many bugs!!The game is good with great graphics. There is bugs in the game though... When I won a duel it took away my points as if I had lost. Also on the sprint race the cars don’t move so when you race a car suddenly appears and you can’t avoid it so you crash and lose the duel races. Also when I was racing in duels I was in a straight line and suddenly the car veered into a wall without me touching anything. Another thing on duel is that people can cut corners on fmgrass and get way ahead. The single races are good as well. The game also drains your battery. Another thing to add is that it needs more tracks! Only 4 tracks isn’t enough so the game gets a bit boring after a while. On duels an opponent drives onto grass it doesn’t affect their speed so this gives than a advantage as they now have the ability to cut corners. There is not much space on the car. 12 is not enough Please reply and give this some thought. On duels grid start people ram you and spin you around which is unfair. Even another thing... on single player it (again) forced the car into the wall and you can’t steer when you press.Version: 1.2.2
✓ Downloading races (new update for 2021)Sorry, but it takes 3hours to download Spielberg only this one on 3.Version: 3.0.24
✓ Still opponent can send you in the wallI was really happy initially about the new update with the hope that gameplay will improve after all the misery we have seen so far. But what's the point of this new update if the opponent still can hit you from behind and sent you to the wall and win the race without any penalty. I don't see any point of this new update if you can't fix a single problem that's bothering the real race fans who love to play a fair race not a banging race. I was in the lead when the opponent hit me from behind and sent me to the wall. Hitting opponent should have direct penalty. Besides this, sometimes you get penalty for corner cutting even if you didn't cut the corner. Graphics are still full blown white at some tracks which needs fixing. Rest are seems not too bad. But unfortunately you still not able to solve the single problem that is hampering the gameplay for all along. All i can say is ghosting still needs massive improvement. If you can't solve it then it will be a failure for you. I hope you get the idea what I meant. Thanks.Version: 3.0.26
✓ Disappointed.I am seriously disappointed at the quality of this game. First off, the low leagues is super fun and starting off is great, but this is when things go downhill. The costs become so expensive, it’s nearly impossible. Some of these upgrades are costing me 15k, yet I get 30 for every WIN? Don’t even get me started on the bugs. Almost every time, when I enter a duel, both the AI and my opponent just are stuck gassing the accelerator and steering hard right, and no matter what, it makes me lose trophies! What’s worse is that this game is so pay to win, that you can buy official cars that are super buffed (the best ones ares $62!) if you see an official car in a duel, there’s no point in even trying. It’s even worse when the AI is there. The AI is so annoying and just in the way, the dirty drivers make it impossible! In a duel, I went against someone who smashed into the AI in the Japan straight, and they blocked the whole road! They didn’t even ghost, and I lost immediately because I couldn’t avoid them. The matchmaking is the worst part. The game will always throw you in the deep end with league 1s and league 2s by the time you reach only LEAGUE 4. This game is far from good, please fix these issues!.Version: 4.6.17
✓ Game is brilliant duels are notThis is 3 stars because i have simply 1 problem. You may be thinking if it is just one problem it should at least be 4 stars however this problem leads to other issues. My issue is that even with the penalties for contact and corner-cutting in duels people can still race crazily and crash into you causing a DNF. This is totally unfair as he other person is at fault and yet you still lose trophies. For instance i attempted an overtake where the driver completely rammed me off into the wall causing me to DNF and lose trophies. The consequence of this is you cant progress any further and going up leagues is extremely difficulty. This makes it boring and annoying to play. Other than this issue the game is pretty good. Has quality graphics and the game controls are easy to adapt too although even without assists it is a bit easy. The Ai are well done for a mobile game but could be a bit more aggressive. I would just like the dues to be more fairer and this game would easily get 5 stars.Version: 1.8.17
✓ “Corner cut”So, I get pushed off by two cars, then get overtaken by half the pack, then it says I corner cut. I got pushed off, that means I slowed down by the impact, but no, I clearly cut the corner. Fix the corner cutting penalty algorithm, because it’s screwing up my duels.Version: 1.20.2
✓ FrustratedThis game should/could be the number one racing game. It’s simple, intelligent and fun. I downloaded it when it first came out and stopped playing after a couple of weeks because I got tired of other drivers crashing into me, forcing me off the track or into the wall. Over the years I have seen update after update with the promise that this would be fixed. I recently started playing again, starting from scratch and working my way up to the “e-sports” levels. I am disappointed that the same things are still happening. I’m not talking about blocking which is and should be a part of any racing (actually you can’t even do that because of the ghosting). I’m talking about coming down the final straight passing a car only to be intentionally turned into and losing the race. I realize it is near impossible for the programmers to determine if the player is intentionally making contact or just making a mistake (also a part of racing). I like the idea of the CONTACT penalty, slowing down the engine, but it needs work. In real life, drivers are penalized for dangerous driving, and I know this isn’t a simulation but what I’m taking about is the blatant garbage. Which needs to be a black flag and disqualification. Then they can go play Asphalt, flip upside down and crush other cars all they want..Version: 2.7.8
✓ Developer please respondOk since the update with the crash rating I have no brakes, I have piled into the back of three cars in separate races. So went to try on my own in a single quali just to confirm. No brakes. Please can you respond ASAP This is the third review in a week, the game is that bad, I have given up with this game as I have just been continuously punted off by the AI cars. So a request, let’s have an abort button, so we don’t have to carry on trying to complete the lap which has been royally mucked up by AI cars, or aggressive drivers taking you out within 2 seconds of the start. When two drivers play fair and the AI plays fair this is a great game. 2, OMG, this is so frustrating, I’ve just had in a qualifying session a rivals car fly into the air as if lifted, and put down on the track three turns further on. In that one 30 second section he was 4 seconds faster than me! No crashes, clean lines and just as fast in the other two sections. This game is getting ridiculous. 3, Since the Nov 22 update, the game is very glitchy, if the game loses connection, the next time you race there’s no engine sounds! Also the contact being stamped on means if you are the victim of contact from another F1 driver, throughout the rest of the race you are continually being punted off, smashed into from behind, and taken out. Also mid race for no apparent reason the race will go slow, and then suddenly speed up. It’s very frustrating.Version: 1.8.17
✓ Need to ban peopleThe game is designed well and a ton of fun as far as the racing goes, but I’d say 3/5 of the game is just idiots ramming you into a wall or spinning you out by your back tire so you lose control. you can report them, but nothing seems to happen since you just continually deal with more and more of them. What a waste of a good game.Version: 1.22.8
✓ Real improvements this game has madeEverytime I would do a dual challenge the game would disconnect me out of the race, even though I didn’t start or finish, I would points deducted from my rank!!!!. So I just wanna know how have your improvements been any better than before?. Certainly doesn’t seem like it!..Version: 4.6.17
✓ Disconnection issues are rifeAn okay game is destroyed by connection issues (not at my end). Poor coding of the game means that even a 1 second disconnect issue kicks you from a race and loses you points. Then comes the dreaded red loading screen. A real shame..Version: 2.5.6
✓ Game quickly becomes pay to winAn otherwise great game that has been ruined by the pervasive nature of free to play, pay to win games. Core gameplay is quite fun and definitely the best F1 racing experience I have found on an iPhone so far. I appreciate that the game is free to play, but wish the developers try to make money from cosmetic options rather than performance options. In order to upgrade your car and be competitive in online play there’s a certain point where you’re going to need to spend money. Additionally, spending the 2000+ coins to acquire a team’s gives you a huge benefit due to the straight line speed for any Grand Prix style races. It doesn’t bother me that people are willing to spend money on this game especially if they’re into F1 and want to support F1 video games in general. However, the outcomes of online plate to how much money somebody has spent on the game is a huge dealbreaker for me. I would love it if they funded their game through cosmetic options, such as custom liveries, helmets, or chassis. If the free to play aspect were removed completely I’d happily give the game a 5/5, but at this point it has just become unplayable unless I either spend money or grind for the hundreds of hours needed to afford a constructor’s car, which just don’t have time for as an adult..Version: 5.3.15
✓ Fixing glitches would change my review..The game is a ton of fun and slightly addicting. But as others have mentioned, players are abusing the fact that they ram you off the track and usually somehow it’s you that gets penalized. Also game seems to be crashing often when searching for a race and glitching during nearly every duel resulting in your very defeated opponent suddenly being seconds ahead just before the finish line.Version: 1.9.0
✓ UnfairPeople playing this game think that they are playing bumper car game..Version: 1.1.0
✓ Improve itAlso sorry but there’s a way better version called Monoposto 2023 on the App Store too and it’s way better than this one, no offense but I don’t like this app, maybe improve it by adding team radio, and if u wanna custom ur livery u can write letters on the car and pit stops.Version: 5.1.9
✓ GarbageI give this game the benefit of the doubt with every major update they produce in hopes that the game will actually be enjoyable. They still have fallen short. Hackers are rampant, people will ram you off track in duel mode, the AI is EXTREMELY slow in duels and career mode. Speaking of career mode, I figured they would have made something halfway decent with how long it took them, but it’s a trash system. Once you sign to any decent team (which you can accomplish in about 2 half seasons), you’ll have pace literal seconds ahead of the AI. You’ll qualify 5-6 seconds ahead easily, and you’ll never see the competitors again past the first corner. There’s no actual challenge. Also, the career mode is plagued with the moneygrabbing repair system. Past 50% engine wear, your car is pretty much useless, then you’ll have to spend in game currency or wait 24 hours to repair. You can usually get 2-3 races in (with no contact from the out of control AI cars) before your car is practically limping and won’t see past 150mph on any straight. There’s no system or opportunity to practice driving on any tracks; you’re either doing it in duel mode or career mode, which both carry punishments if you lose. I’m not even sad to see this game be a failure anymore; the developers have had massive amounts of feedback and tons of time to iron out any issues, but refuse to do so. They just want your money..Version: 5.2.41
✓ Has potential but soooo buggyDriving mechanics are good for a mobile game and I like what they are trying to do but the game has so many bugs it’s just an exercise in frustration. Duel Qualifying is ok as your competition acts as a ghost car that can’t just ram into you like every other mode. Seriously, in every other mode the AI just plows into you right off the start. The other AI cars jump all over the track or just sporadically do 90 degree turns into the side of your car mid corner. And if you manage to get a perfect launch on the grid start mode the car in front of you doesn’t move and you just crash into the back of it. Awesome reward for nailing your launch 😒 Iron out the bugs and properly test this thing before launching it an you’ve got a good mobile racer..Version: 1.1.0
✓ Arrogant DevelopersAre the developers 12 years old? Perfect start = crash into car ahead. Run off the road by hyper aggressive bots. If you get crashed into, you’re deemed to be at fault and will next race crash up derby players. 3 personal bests in a row = lost each time in each sector. The developers put out a pretty game but full of bugs. Each fix corrects some problems but introduces others. I’ve spent $30 on the game but am now going to delete it as it is unbelievably unfair. Too bad as it had the potential to be the best racing game for the iPad. I value my time but sadly have wasted too much believing that this company would improve the crash crazy tendency of the bots. Once you get to a certain level, you simply have to pay to improve as the organic development would take days of play for upgrades..Version: 1.4.1
✓ Was Expecting MoreThe game isn’t bad though I was expecting more. The Handling is a bit dodgy and I was expecting more with the tracks. There are only four tracks, Britain Hungary Germany and Canada, so can you add ALL the tracks, like in 2016 mobile game. Also can you add a career mode, as the only things you can really do are quick races and the maximum laps you can do in a race is only 5 which I think you should make 100% race and 25% and 50%. Also I have found that even on hard difficulty the AI kind of get out of your way which is a bit annoying as they don’t fight for the position. Also hard difficulty is WAY too easy and I sometimes go from last to first in one lap. ALSO WHERE IS DAMAGE?! Graphics are pretty good though. So can you add all the tracks and do AI updates, and a few handling and graphics updates. Also the conditions should be changeable during a race and the thing that has annoyed me with all you mobile games is that rain does not exist. So you should also add rain.Version: 1.1.0
✓ Game has been broken since the last update.For staters I can’t believe the games was down for such a long time just to brake it instead of making it better. In dual mode people instead of finding an opening to pass me they can just go tru me like my car is invisible that needs to be removed. Some people have the worst driving line and go all over the track but they get no penalties. Some times you try to push your car to the limits of the track but you get slow down to the point that you lose almost all your speed or you get the (you cut a corner) when you literally are one hair off the track. The AI is just bad. Since the last update I get a lot of ( can’t connect to the server) even in the middle of a game that’s just annoying that your doing your best to be in the first place and then out the blue you get kick out. Some times at the beginning of a race you can’t steer at all is not your Xbox controller nor the built in controller just the game bugging out, you have no other choice then to close the game or quitting the race and losing your hard earned points and making the other guy the winner. Its been one week since I get level 1 players or bots not quite sure what but that makes the game not enjoyable or fair for the other guy that probably just stated the game ( I’m level 45). This game definitely seen better days..Version: 4.4.43
✓ AverageThe game is really good when it works but it only works 50% of the time. Alway seems to crash when starting a race so players automatically lose points. I have been wiped out numerous times by other players and AI and still lose safety points. Idea is good but needs an update..Version: 1.8.17
✓ Far too simpleThe game is far too simple. Duels and a short career mode makes the game lack depth. There needs to be full, half and quarter length races in career mode, with pit stops and add the ERS system to career mode. Engine wear is too high and touching some curbs, like at Zandvoort results in a very heavy engine stall, which makes the curbs a huge inconvenience. The engine stall and spins with the slightest touch of the grass are a big issue which need to be toned down. Small corner (using too much curb or grass) cuts should get 3 warnings and then a penalty, and large corner cuts (entire cutting the corner) should get a penalty probably 3 seconds added to their time. Race mode needs to be added, which allows you to pick any track and the race length. And finally we more tracks to keep the game fresh because unlike F1 21 we don’t have lobbies and a fully open end career mode, so having tracks that are not on the current season calendar as special tracks which change weekly like India and Germany would keep the game fresh..Version: 3.6.22
✓ Fix This ImmediatelyI have been playing this game for over 6 months and got really excited because of the 2021 update. However on the 2020 version, online duels were impossible as it would ALWAYS crash. After the update a week ago, I started playing and got up to 800 power on my car. But the duels started crashing more often. Now however it is happening every race and I have had 4 races IN a row where I have been winning by as much as 15 seconds and had the game crash on the final straight and counting it as a loss. I can’t unlock tracks and upgrade my car to win duels which is a huge disappointment combined with the fact I can’t even verse AI anymore as it has been removed. Please fix this as such a great game that WAS so enjoyable has now made online impossible and the only working thing (AI) removed..Version: 3.0.24
✓ Awesome game until...I’ve recently been playing other racing games and this is the perfect subsitute for the actual F1 game if you do not have a pc. Unlike the F1 game, you don’t unlock all tracks quickly you unlock three at once and by the time your tying to get the last 5 tracks which me and my dad are, it’s taken over two weeks of losing and winning duels. Duels can get really frustrating such as when the invisibility shield won’t go on so the other car hits you off the track and you other get cutter corner and then an engine stall or lose a tire. Then sometimes which has happened many times in my case. The phone goes 10, 20, 5 percent battery warning, disconnecting you from a winning duel you were racing losing you points, IT EVEN HAPPENS WHEN YOU AIRDROP A PHOTO. I got so frustrated with this. One of the other annoying things is, when you go to play duels it only does the same tracks, in duels I haven’t raced abu Dabi, Austria, Monza or silver stone for about 3 weeks. Overall this game is good, it gives you a good sense of engineering but is quite annoying some times..Version: 2.7.8
✓ New updateFirst this game has the potential to be amazing! Before the update there was tons of issues, after the update some of those issues has been fixed. But...Now on grid starts I have to intentionally try not to start perfect, if I do the car flies in the air or there is a glitch and I’m smashed into the person ahead of me DNF because my car is smashed or I’m plum last. Sprint races are horrible now, the Ai cars are all over the place..constantly smashing me or spinning me out, and it’s always out of the blue..the AI just started shaking then boom I’m out..or it’s driving way off track then magically as I try to pass boom in back on track and smashes me. Lastly I’m so sick of these AI being stranded mysteriously all over the road...I’m going down the straightaway DRS activated and boom out of nowhere there is a car stopped long way in the middle of the road, I can’t avoid it now another DNF when I was set to win. I’ve lost so many races because of this foolishness, to the point I don’t want to buy anymore packs nor play... Ps could you please update the timing charts, to be like the real thing..red slower, green personal best and purple out right fastest for each sector..oh and have the DRS actually open when activated would be cool!.Version: 1.3.5
✓ Old versionCan you please make it like the old version where we could single race like 15 laps or something.Version: 4.7.4
✓ PLS LISTEN TO ME DEVS!!!!I played this game since 2020 and it still annoys me with those really forced corner cut penalties along with those contact penalties. I mean its a good add on but its too much annoyance to be honest for the player. Pls make sure to not make those corner cuts too close to where you have to slow down but f1 does use that because i tried to get close to a corner with my 2 right wheels still inside the track but it keeps saying corner cut. Plus, Pls add a custom rade mode because the online battles are good, but its the way that their opponent plays. Pls add that Custom game mode on, because i cant win a battle that has the person a league ahead of me. Plus, in the grid start career mode, EVERY RACE I STALL ON THE START! Why would it stall out every race in career mode? I dont understand it. Every sport game that EA Sports has is completely not right and they need to figure out a much better and not stupider way to mess this up. Also, the grass makes it too insane just to make a car that freaking slow. It doesnt make sense with a little touch of grass aling with a penalty makes me that slow. The grass shouldn’t be really effective at all, along with the fact that touching the smallest bit of grass makes the car sooo slow your opponent comes up to you from 1.5 seconds behind. All of this mist be fixed right away cause it has been an issue since then & now. If you are reading this devs, take action into your updates. Now..Version: 4.3.19
✓ Needs improvementThis game is great, however, there are some minor issues that need to be fixed. Firstly, there needs to be more online interactivity. This game is very similar to Clash Royale from Supercell. The trophies and arenas system is very capturing and is a lot of fun. However, something that made Clash Royale a better game was the clan and 2v2 options. Being able to communicate and play with your friends was what attracted many people to the game. Also, there was a glitch where whenever I lose a dual, the matchmaking would fail which would lead to a network error. This then reloads the entire game but never loads fully. I then have to quit the game which loses me about 25 trophies from duals. This is very frustrating as if you are on a good roll with wins, and lose one, you effectively lose 2 at a time. Leaving you to claw them back. This is slightly different now with it happening more frequently, even when I win, and the game doing it over, and over, and over in a consecutive string of trophy losses. This game incredibly immersive and, being a large F1 fan, I was very excited when this game came out. So please fix a few of these issues and it would make it so much better. Good luck Codemasters.Version: 1.4.1
✓ DISSAPOINTINGLucky stupid developers my recent review got deleted, i wrote like 4 paragraphs,since apple dont fix this review thing FIRST OF ALL FIX YOU RECONNECTING ISSUES or do NOT Neven put it there, you make these poor inocent players visualize reconnecting to game well NO YOUR STUPID SYSTEM DONT WORK I CANT NEVEN SCREEN RECORD IN A MIDDLE OF THE MATCH OR NOR LOOK AT THE TIME because it wont RECONNECT BACK what are you stupid developers afraid of?! Mod menu?! Hacks?! Outrageous piece of stupid developers keep making your game a nightmare! Yall have a good graphics game but its stupid and unbelievable that yalls turning do not neven detect and this has happened to me too i break then turn then out of nowhere your stupid breaks release and the engine goes full speed and crashes my stupid car it disdetects the touches OUTRAGEOUS!!! and make a stupid CUSTOM OR PRACTICE OPTION do yall stupid developers really think that we can train in the stupid ranked match NO! We beed custom maps so we can race and fet used to the trakc by our OWN! YALL DONT NEVEN HAVE PIT STOPS!!! Yall work in your pc game alot more i see this is stupid i cant blame EA sports their fifa stuff is all inder controll but yall other developers holy stupid i cant believe this spending 130$ in my first 2 weeks jesus crist im done with this game!.Version: 5.3.15
✓ Another update, another step backwardsGlitchier than before where you are now often behind at the start for sprint races, moving at half speed for qualifying starts, and AI cars aggressively try to take you out. The driver safety system is a complete failure so far. The PIT maneuver that is destroying the game isn’t even recognized as contact so it continues to happen in almost every duel. Being run into from behind by the AI does however register - yeah that’s your fault. Starting to wish I had an old device that was only allowed to use qualifying mode so I could make some progress and drive a few sessions without morons taking me out. Yep. Tried again and 3 more races in a row taken out by opponent using the same technique then another with the AI intentionally swerving to crash you. Game has potential but for now it is garbage..Version: 1.3.5
✓ They reward people who spend real life money.To start with a great game but a lot to improve, I’ve made it to division 1 and the competition is hard but what I find is if people spend real life money on the game (£20-30) to get a “official f1 car” the game makes it 1000x easier for you to with, countless times have I come up against someone with a “official car” and they have smoked me even when I have the better car/upgrades. Next problem is the career mode it’s good but needs changing up a bit , also your engine damage goes up really fast and if you’re board and want to play the game you can make the decision to spend the gems you have built up and race with a damaged engine which then makes your car slower. Also I come across a bug in career mode we’re I took the lead and my car cut out and went in to neutral and every car passed me. Dual races also get kinda boring you seem to race the same 2/3 maps and it gets worse the higher you go because you always get the maps you are worse at leaving you mad and frustrated at the game. Also I have lost track of the amount of times I’ve been pushed off the track by the other driver I’m racing against and then he goes on to win..Version: 3.3.14
✓ Good game but still have lots of room for improvementsPlease make the game less laggy, and the duels...I personally think they’re a bad idea- would be much better with a full multiplayer grid... More tracks please, and also give us a chance to purchase (with in game money) real f1 team’s cars Other than these problems, this is a great game with endless possibilities.Version: 1.1.0
✓ Great game except for the bad driversFirst time I’ve ever wrote a review. This game has great potential. Gameplay is good, graphics are great and knowing what parts to equip is nice. My only real negative is the AI is horrible and the players that run into you or push you to the wall is the greatest fail of the game. The new update was supposed to be able to penalize those players but I don’t see it happening. Too many times I have been pushed off the track on purpose and I lose the race. I haven’t seen any penalty besides mine when I barely cut the track in the turn. Very frustrating when losing can drop you down the league. I don’t see why you drop down when you already made it past that point. Should just let you stay in the league that you race so many times Over and over again to make it in. If the devs can get that figured out then the game would be almost perfect. If it’s AI that’s one thing but I get so mad when it’s a match against a real person and they just run into you and then you lose. This can be a great game, Until then this game is ok. Still fun but needs some fixes that actually fixed a problem.Version: 1.4.1
✓ No Longer FunGame is no longer fun to play. There are a lot of render glitches, people cheating, and deliberate swerving and hitting to block..Version: 1.10.4
✓ Piece of garbageEveryone bumps you and they don’t get penalized, even the AI cuts you off or throws you off your racing line, if you break and someone hits you from behind or the side you are penalized, they penalized you for everything and your opponent or the AI are not..Version: 1.22.8
✓ Up to now it’s not too unlike dealing with midges on a camping tripI love all really well made racing games. And I’m impressed with this offering but I do need to touch on, it seems, a reoccurring gripe with other players. Which is the subject of other players taking you out while dueling? The fact that it’s also rather counter-intuitive, to do so, is just as puzzling, as it’s frustrating for me personally. The fact that I’m penalized by way of losing points, makes it very annoying. Ironically, on a few occasions, it’s got to me so much, that I’ve closed app mid race in disgust. I consider that -ALSO CHEATING!!! I’d rather be beaten fair and square, you know? Sport? It’s obvious what’s on the cards when your rival seems to be hanging waiting for you to attempt a pass??? Can’t have that, surely?!? And lastly, I’m proud to say that in 6 years of playing in-app, purchase based racing, I bought my very very first purchase 2 weeks ago....... I’m still waiting on receiving it. Not a good start!!!!! 🤨🤨🤨 P.S. #update# Since this review I’ve not been able to play due to apps refusal to open. Telling me I must have WiFi to play???? Uhmmm....... HELLO?!?.Version: 1.4.1
✓ The game is holding back the funThis game is fantastic to play. It feels awesome racing and learning new tracks and improving your times. However there are some major issues 1)disconnecting and the app having to reconnect very minute I play cause it can’t find a duel. 2) why is there no tutorial explaining properly how engine wear works in career mode. It’s be nice to know if 29% = my car being 10km/h slower or something similar. The way it is, I do 2 daily races, then wait for my free fix up the next day. It’s stupid 3) the breaking lines are too light and almost blend in with certain maps. I can’t see anything on Miami and it’s very difficult timing my breaking. 4) in grid start races I’ve had it a few times where I have my opponent ram an npc driver just for that driver to spin out and run into me right behind him. It’s absolutely awful knowing I’m out of the race cause my opponent spun me out. Box’s hit should have a ghost mode triggered when they begin to spin out. Otherwise, very fun game.Version: 4.2.26
✓ Used to be great game, needs workThis is a great game, it’s easy to play and very enjoyable but there are a few issues. 1- the tracks are split into sections that are basically white or grey and black sections to show the racing line. The problem is that with the curbs not popping up through contrast, it is very difficult to judged where they are. An example is the last chicane on Gille Villeneuve (Canada). 2- the removal of single player tracks, I often used that mode in the previous iteration of this game to practice and get better at the track. I can’t do that anymore and since I’m reluctant to spend money so quickly when it won’t transition to the next game. All I can do is race in duels (but duels land on random tracks depending of what you’ve unlocked) 3- simply touching the outside of a curb results in a corner cut which slows the car down heavily for a long period of time, this punishment is too severe. Warnings of corner cutting would prove beneficial in this game. 4- I had on the last game bought the red bull and Ferrari liveries because I believe they were strictly cosmetic, I hate it that purchasing one of the f1 cars gives an advantage in a free game. It’s not fair at all. 5- too often have I been leading a duel just for the dirty hog behind to push me off the track which gives me a corner cutting and slows me down but let’s him go win, I’m sick of it. What happened to the report section for dirty drivers?.Version: 3.0.26
✓ Improvements neededSo I have recently restarted my account because I wanted to relive the f2p experience but somehow restarting my account made my experience worse. First of all I have to get to league 7 to unlock career mode which I would be ok with if I didn’t receive 10 LEAGUE POINTS or whatever there called PER RACE. That is just ridiculous and it just makes the progression even slower. However I hope it is just in the lower leagues. Second thing is that I literally cannot open crates,boxes call them what you want. This means that I have no way of ever upgrading my car which means I’m most likely to lose because people can upgrade their cars and I’m not able to. And lastly I feel like I should still get rewards whenever I reach a new account level oh well I don’t make decisions. One thing I didn’t talk about was dirty drivers and/or hackers that ruin the experience beacuse I feel like everyone talk about them enough and nothing has been done to stop them. This game is enjoyable however it needs improvement (If I sent this review already then it’s my bad).Version: 4.2.26
✓ Promising gameThe game can be a lot of fun, sometimes. When the game works well and runs smooth it is awesome and a really fun experience. However, a lot of the time the game will lag or crash. A few issues I’ve had include: races not loading properly and having to reload the game and losing trophies, your opponent crashing into you and ruining the race for you, ai crashing into you and ruining the race, ai not going on a grid start and the game crashing every now and then. Other than that, this is a really promising game!.Version: 1.0.5
✓ Mixed reviewI love this game and find it so addicting, but, and that’s a big but, there’s quite a few flaws that I think need to be addressed, and it’s clear in a lot of these other reviews that they’re not new issues. For one, please bring back the single player tracks, I used to use them to practice and now there’s no way to get better on a specific track without spending money on an “event”. I often have issues connecting to another player in the duels game mode. The Ai needs improvement as well. - In duel mode at the higher levers, they are way too slow and you often end up crashing into them or them being in the way - In career mode, at the higher levels they only have speed in the straights, like ridiculous speed and they’re very slow in slow speed corners. I’ll end up being 2 seconds a lap faster (legend career mode) at a track like Spa or Bahrain and 5 seconds a lap slower at Monza or Jeddah. Not to mention that the qualifying pace of the ai is completely different to the race pace, a pole position is easily achievable but to win the race and keep up on the straights is very difficult. It’s great that they added wet races, but all they do is give the car mad understeer, that’s all, no extra loss of grip or sliding, just a bit worse at turning. I think the developers should focus on fixing the bugs and playability of the game before adding heaps of new features, that’s if they even see this review..Version: 4.3.19
✓ Didnt go past first screenDownloaded on MACBOOK AIR 15 M2, wasnt able to go past the first screen where DOB needs to be added. Dissappointed..Version: 5.2.48
✓ Good physics but poorly developedThe app is very poorly written with loads of bugs perpetual crashes. It’s incredible that EA have allowed such a poor offering. It’s like it doesn’t get tested. The interface is very slow and heavy and whilst racing is good and the physics realistic you can only race a max of 3 laps in a race which is poor. Also you need to be online. Whilst this isn’t a problem for me, staying connected to the servers is and after every race I get an error saying it can’t connect to update my profile. If I restart the app the everything is OK until after the next race that is. I’m running on an new IPad 10 gen so restarting is pretty quick but with the software crashes, if I play for 60 mins I need to restart the app 15-20 times which is unacceptable. Another issue is that the developers ignore the community. They brought out snowy tracks! The community has been asking for longer races, offline play, fix the connection issues etc etc. And they waste time developing snowy tracks. What’s next? Bananas thrown out the back of the car? There isn’t an app on the App Store with more bugs..Version: 5.4.11
✓ It acts like a pretty old game but there can be improvementsSo I have been playing this game for almost 6 months and I have to say there are some pros and cons. The pros are that the cars feel realistic, the steering action is amazing and the drs part is amazing. But there are a lot of cons. First of all the graphics of the scenery of the circuits. In abu dhabi and austria the sky is just a pixelated image. It is not like it is realistic or hard to catch. When your driving, you can see that it is a pasted image without putting any effort in blending the image with the circuit. Second is the connectivity part. Suppose you forgot to turn up your phone screen brightness while the game is matchmaking. If thats the case, then you have to wait for the game to match make, complete the race and then you can increase your brightness because if you do it before, it will lose connection and restart the game again. Lastly is the point system. I really hate this part. The reason I hate this is that it makes it really really hard for players to increase their r&d points. If someone is racing and they came in seconds they will have to go through a -30 point loss because they came in second because of a .2 second difference. Maybe the devs should have a point system in which if there is no contact and a clean race the second place winner should have 15 points and first place winner can get 30 points. So yeah, because of that last con I do not want to play the game anymore. Thank you!.Version: 2.7.8
✓ DOB SCREEN MACWont let me play the game, or even put my date of birth on the start screen.Version: 5.3.15
✓ PenaltiesFun game but there need to be penalties for crashing into other drivers to win duels. This game won’t be on my iPad for long unless they change it..Version: 1.11.3
✓ Good but could be betterYes, this is a great game and is fun to play, however it also has unrealistic levels of grip, only 10 lap single races, and it alround could be better if there were more things to do for single player. Over all though it’s a pretty good game but gets boring quite quickly.Version: 2.5.6
✓ Stay away until updateThe amount of times other players have slammed into me, cut me off or rammed me off the road is ridiculous. Please steer clear of this game until the “update” is implemented where it penalizes other players for ramming into you causing you to DNF. I have lost 10 in a row from being hit into a wall or rear ended which causes me to lose. It’s extremely frustrating and no longer fun..Version: 1.1.0
✓ Very fun but needs improvementI love playing this game, the gameplay is fantastic, the racing modes are very fun, especially the career and overall it is a very solid racing game and especially for a free app. My main problem with the game is that the career mode is far too easy, I wish that the AI was harder or that at least there was an AI difficulty setting like there used to be in an older version of the app. I’ve found even in THE worst car I’m just getting P1 in quali every time and just winning by 10s which is no fun, so I started forgeitting every quali to start at the back just to get some interesting racing, even then I’m always finishing in the top 6 which does not seem at all consistent with being in the Williams / Haas. I just wish the progression in the career mode was more tough so it actually provides some tough racing. I also wish that the career mode would bring in a bit more racing — the tournaments provide quali, first 3 laps and then last 3 laps for each race which I really love, but the career mode loses those last 3 laps where DRS is enabled to again create more interesting racing. All this being said, the multiplayer mode is pretty good, and the racing is still fun. Just needs improvements across the board, mainly in its AI difficulty which is obviously one of the foundations of the game so has a pretty big impact..Version: 3.4.21
✓ Need to practice all over againNot a huge friend of this update. Need to adjust the way of handling the car. Need to change the car settings all over....car is slower and harder to control. A new learning curve makes me want to say goodbye, will see....Version: 2.0.26
✓ Poor gameThe basic premise is good but I have never ending connection issues. No matter whether I’m connected via wifi (more than one) or the usual 4G. If I get a match but then fails I’m deducted race points. Also during matching it’s as if it’s made a match but no car shows up. The game freezes likes this without showing a competitor and when I restart the game, I again have race points deducted. Then there’s the AI... terrible. If you are wanting people to spend money on this then you are mistaken. As it is it’s not playable..Version: 1.5.8
✓ Terrible updateYour latest update sucks! This is F1 not crash em derby. It seems every race has someone crashing me out! I am tired of this and have deleted the app. You have any clue how F1 racing works. YOU DON’T CRASH OTHER DRIVERS ON PURPOSE..Version: 1.9.0
✓ Rammers making me loose in duelsI kept on getting put in games with rammers who knocks me off the track and giving me no chance to get a good lap in. I was going past the guy trying to overtake him then he smashed into my front wheels making me go flying off the track and end up backward and then I loose my trophies, I do love this game it’s just really annoying when something like that happens. Hope you can find a way to help my problem.Version: 2.2.2
✓ Newest updateLooks like the app has failed.Version: 2.5.6
✓ Game Support Disappointing in latest 2021 updateI love the game and like how they have dealt with some of the cheaters. My main complaint is the Game support is very disappointing. After 3 months I have had no reply to my queries that rewards in the league challenges cannot be claimed..Version: 3.0.26
✓ Compensation for rammers ?Overall the game can be good fun.. when your opponent is ghosted. So far in my experience of the game (About 900 trophies in although this should be over 1,000 after noting the next point), my only losses have been when contact is on.. why is that? Every time they smash me off the track & run off into the distance. I can understand that it’d be difficult to police rammers, let’s face it, it happens in any racing game.. but surely when a rammer is found through the reporting system, the points should be deducted from them & awarded to me or some kind of reward? The reporting system can help track them down, but that doesn’t benefit me. I still lost that due to them ramming, I still had my progression halted because of it. So I’m reporting them, helping prevent them create toxicity in someone else’s race, but there is a very slim chance that I would end up rematching that same person, so what is the point in me reporting unsportsmanlike racing? I gain nothing out of it other than wasted time. Rammers needs a new approach taken. A suggestion would be if someone is ramming, extend the time that they’re stuck in ghosted duels, 5, 10, 20 races ? A change is needed before all the fair racers are gone due to frustration..Version: 2.0.26
✓ Needs more workThe time it takes to open the box is ridiculous long, pls remove those unnecessary animation. The download speed is terribly slow.Version: 3.0.24
✓ Not all bad but needs a lot of workUpdate: It seems that the game gets worse the more you move up. It’s bad enough that your human opponents try to wreck you every race...but the AI drivers are in on the demolition derby too. They wreck right in front of you and slamming on the brakes or swerving to avoid them only results in getting wrecked from behind. There hasn’t been an update in quite some time. With all of theses negative reviews you would think that someone would be trying to fix it. I’m surprised that F1 has attached their name to it and officially licensed this game. It’s horrible...and I didn’t even go into all of the bugs that it has. There is a lot that is good about this game but it has a long way to go before it is great. I applaud the developers for trying something to keep the demolition derby drivers from wrecking you every wreck but the safety points does nothing to prevent it. There aren’t any penalties and currently my score is low because people keep running into me, knocking me out of the race. Sadly, the only way to compete is to assume the other driver can and will take you out the first chance you get. Download and accept it for what it is but don’t spend any money or you will just be frustrated..Version: 1.5.8
✓ ClunkyRegardless how I adjusted the steering or other driving assists, the car was just so clunky compared to Real Racing 3. I guess I’ve been spoiled for their racing games. Looks average as well. Sorry Devs, swing and a miss..Version: 1.11.3
✓ Has potential but...Great graphics and the cars with the ability to customise them yourself are great. However you have little to do in the game apart from duels online and are not ale to complete a proper championship or alter any characteristics of the car yet which was disappointing..Version: 1.2.2
✓ PenaltiesI’m rating this game 1 star until penalties for dirty racers are added. I’ve lost a few races because of people slamming me on overtakes and corner cutting.and also fix network glitches..Version: 3.5.11
✓ Worst F1 Game Available for MobileNormally I don’t write reviews on apps, but this game is so horrendously bad, I can’t help myself anymore; this game is nothing but pay to win, and at its best it’s a very rewarding game, but that is the exception, not the not the average experience. This game has made me almost break my phone 5 ish times. I have an iPhone 11 with 256GB of storage and this still has a TON of delay input, not to mention how infuriating the penalty system is, and how easily your car is damaged. One of the most infuriating things for me is how the game reduces your steering sensitivity as you increase in speed; I understand how that could be fun for more casual or realistic players, but when I change my steering sensitivity to the maximum intentionally, I expect said changes to be applied at all times. There should, at the bare minimum be an option to disable reduced steering sensitivity at speed. I would NEVER EVER normally recommend anyone play an EA game, especially the racing ones, but as many flaws and imperfections Real Racing 3 has, it is still a much, much better game than this game. In short: This game is paradise 5% of the time and the other 95% of the time, it is a raging dumpster fire..Version: 3.6.22
