Formula 1 live timing, schedule and standings for Android, in your status bar, on your lock screen and on your home screen.
- Live timing: the official F1 live timing feed (SignalR), with an automatic ESPN fallback when that feed is blocked or down, so the classification keeps updating.
- Automatic Live Update: follow the season once and Laply opens an ongoing Live Update when each session starts, with the leader, the lap count and the track status in a status-bar chip.
- MetricStyle on Android 17: the gaps between the leaders appear as large metrics in the notification. Android 16 shows a segmented progress bar and Android 12 to 15 show a regular ongoing notification.
- Home-screen widgets: countdown to the next session and the weekend ahead. Resize the widget from 2x1 up to full screen and it adds more detail as it grows. It uses Material 3 / Monet colours on Pixel and translucent One UI glass on Samsung. Three standings widgets (drivers', constructors' and the title fight) keep the championship on your home screen.
- Samsung lock-screen widgets: next session and countdown on the lock screen, AOD and the Flip/Fold cover screen, plus 2x2 layouts on tablets and foldables, the standings and the title fight included.
- Tyres and pit stops: expand a driver on the Live tab to see their tyre stints and pit laps.
- Tablets and foldables: two-pane Live layout with the circuit map and conditions next to the classification.
- Schedule, results and standings: the full season calendar in your time zone, session results and driver and team championships, with a line under the last driver or team who can still win the title.
- Modern Android: Material 3 Expressive, dynamic colour (Monet) or F1 red, light/dark/system theme, predictive back and edge-to-edge.
- Update checker: a daily check against GitHub Releases posts a notification when a new version is out. You can turn it off, or check by hand, in Settings → About.
