Autosport

Still better to use the website, unfortunate because the redesign is an improvement. The issue is that the app wont refresh the articles so you’re seeing content from a week ago. I would leave feedback via the app but it won’t let you do that either, it just directs you to update to the latest version which I’ve already done…

Better than the original app but still so so poor. Hasn’t been updated since its re-release a year ago. No back button so constantly have to reload home screen after reading an article. Links often require multiple taps to load, with no obvious reason, then stories load at the bottom rather than the top. Feels like a webpage that has been poorly squashed into an app and then forgotten about. Marginally better than just opening the website in safari.

Painful app, won’t renew subscription: - regularly need to log in again, doesn’t remember your log on details like every other app for 10+ years - font size is small and can’t be adjusted in app or via phone settings - videos play by default, not when selected by user. Not ideal…

Having coughed up for the content, is it unreasonable to want to be allowed to read it? Everything is met with a pay barrier, even when you log in. Absolute rubbish.

The news articles are written well. The layout and features are good and Autosport plus is good value. But there are two things that make me want to delete the app. The first is that the no spoiler notification setting keeps resetting to give me notifications even though I’ve chosen not to be notified. This means I have had pop ups that have told me race results I have been trying to avoid seeing. I have had to turn all notifications off for the app to avoid this. Secondly the recent introduction of YouTube videos at the top of articles that auto play WITH volume ON are plain annoying. I’m sure it boosts Autosports views on YouTube by auto playing but even with my phone on silent I get a blast of the intro music on each article I open which is embarrassing when in a public space and also stops any music I was listening to at the time. I sent a feedback about this but had no reply. Please make the videos default to volume off.

I am logged out of my Autosport Plus membership (which uses my Apple ID) and the app won't let me log back in, I have tried contacting support through the Feedback form but have had no response.

The app and alerts on races are very good, but it is annoying that it won’t let you read the full news articles, so you only get a half the latest story.

The worst app and the most toxic group of motorsport journalists. They’ll block you on instagram for pointing out their mistakes. Instead of blocking people, own your mistakes.

99% of the screen is taken up by adverts to the point where you struggle to find the article text. Stick to the website and run an ad blocker so it’s tolerable. Can’t block the ads in the app.

Love this App. Gives me that extra bit of Adrenaline I need for the week ahead. Especially having Petrol in my veins.
