Guest Garry Reed Posted March 24, 2011 Report Share Posted March 24, 2011 (edited) There's an official F1 app ( Formula1.com), just do a search on the market, it runs ok the vega but not tried it during a live session yet. g Edited March 24, 2011 by Garry Reed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest cjtkd Posted March 24, 2011 Report Share Posted March 24, 2011 f1 news ( 2011 ) by dogmac and formula one(f1)news by slackersoft both looks nice. Sorry guys, the other apps dont come close, TRUST me! The app im talking about tracks the cars via gps and shows their position on track in real time allowing you to zoom in on the cars position relative to the others and even rotate the map in realtime! Oh and yes i pay for the good apps like this, its waaaaaay better than the freebies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest xrfil Posted March 25, 2011 Report Share Posted March 25, 2011 does this app work for the practise sessions as well? As i couldnt get it to work for P1 and now P2 on my desire HD, just runs in demo mode Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest swarrans Posted March 25, 2011 Report Share Posted March 25, 2011 The BBC website shows gps car positions on the race day itself - I used it on a laptop last season so I presume it will work on the vega Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest blcollier Posted March 25, 2011 Report Share Posted March 25, 2011 I saw this app last season, but then I saw the price of it. I think I used the official app before - the free one - and it works well on my Desire, but I couldn't really justify spending £20 on a mobile phone app! If anyone does actually test the supershiny £20 version on their Vega, I might be tempted into a purchase! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bazanime Posted March 25, 2011 Report Share Posted March 25, 2011 Sorry to keep going on BUT thecapp is way better, oh and yes it should work in practice:-S Then bite the bullet and buy it cos' I doubt there are any out there that would fit your discerning taste. Besides I don't know if there are many other Vega users that are hardcore F1 fans to get the reply you want. I am a fan btw :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Lennyuk Posted March 25, 2011 Report Share Posted March 25, 2011 I have not yet taken the plunge of the £20, but I may well do it and if so will let you know (had the app last year) at the moment I am just using the free formula1.com app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest cjtkd Posted March 25, 2011 Report Share Posted March 25, 2011 yes it is, its just the price that puts me off. Found this bit of info on their site, being new to the Vega I wondered what peoples thoughts were as to whether this list points towards it working on the Vega possibly? Though we should support any 1.6+ Android device, we regularly test on following Android devices: * HTC Desire * HTC Magic * HTC Nexus One * Motorola Milestone * Samsung Galaxy S * Samsung Galaxy Tab * Archos 5 Internet Tablet * Google Nexus One * Sony X10 Mini 1st generation * HTC Wildfire - issues with software OpenGL can cause some minor graphical glitches. Video in MotoGP is not supported on the Wildfire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The interface is a little quirky on a tablet, but the live timing, graphics, and gps stuff all runs very well indeed. in fact its able to make use of the extra graphical power of the vega and uses higher quality graphics than say the HTC Desire which i also run it on. The full screen live timing is awesome to have next to you when watching the sessions on TV :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some significant chunk of that £20 will be going to F1 Ltd. I wouldn't fume at the dev. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest shrubbery Posted March 26, 2011 Report Share Posted March 26, 2011 Hi guys - I have the F12011 Timing App installed on my Vega and it works fine. The screen is scaled properly and the graphics and text look great. Great app even though it is overpriced imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
