    On your home screen, all weekend

    • LIVE NOW. A red dot marks the session that is running right now.
    • Finished sessions. They grey out and get a tick, so you see what is left.
    • Your time zone. Times change by themselves when you travel or the clocks change.
    • Sprint weekends. Sprint Qualifying and the Sprint replace practice when they run.
    • Always the next race. The widget moves on two hours after the race starts.
    • Works offline. The full 2026 calendar is built into the app.

      What the app does with your data

      The short version. The privacy policy has the detail.

      No ads or tracking

      There are no adverts and no analytics. The schedule is built into the app, so the widget doesn't need an account or the internet.

      Settings stay on your phone

      Your reminder choices and theme are stored on your device.

      The free trial uses Google sign-in

      To stop repeat trials, we keep an account ID and the date your trial started. Your email is held by Google's Firebase sign-in service. You can ask us to delete it.

      Google Play handles payments

      We never see your card details. The app asks Google Play which themes you own.

      Questions

      How do I add the widget?

      Touch and hold an empty part of your home screen, tap Widgets, then search for F1. The sizes are listed smallest first: 2x2 (Compact), 2x2 (Tall), 3x2 (Medium), 4x2 (Wide) and 4x3 (Large). Drag the one you want onto your home screen.

      My reminders arrive late or not at all.

      Some phones pause apps in the background to save battery. Open your phone's Settings, go to Apps, then F1 Race Widgets, then Battery, and choose Unrestricted.

      I bought a theme on another phone. How do I get it back?

      Sign in to Google Play with the same account, open Theme Packs and tap Restore purchases.

      What happens when my trial ends?

      Your widget goes back to the free Standard look, in red and black. Themes you bought stay active. Schedules and reminders are always free.
