Rally TV Reviews

by Dmivo

Subscription doesn’t work. Support is not accessible. Despite purchasing the season subscription and getting the confirmation through the Apple App Store, RallyTV still says “no active WRC+ subscriptions”. Emails to the support address listed in RallyTV are bounced back. Ironically, since RallyTV got upgraded and price went up, it actually got worse. Unfortunate.

The interface keeps changing each week with app updates and is still difficult to navigate. I was not able to watch all of the Monte Carlo “live” stage videos before Finland started and now they have simply disappeared once Finland rally began, only the highlight videos are available. Only historical videos before 2021 work on Apple TV device, the live videos just never load. Each time app is updated the login details need to be input again on each device, 3 or maybe 4 updates as of writing.

This could be great app if all videos were accessible and it simply worked as expected but right now it’s just not. The video quality is good but overall RallyTV just feels immature right now.

Nearly pointless to watch a rally in Europe when I’m in the States on RallyTV because the 1st thing I’ll see when I open it are the results. Even when choosing Live straight away, I’m presented with the rally winner. F1 & MotoGP have simple but effective means to hide the results. I know a bit about programming and imagine it would take less than a day to build a toggle into RallyTV .

Rallies are no longer available to watch a week out from the prior rally onward. I’ve paid for the season, I’d like to watch when time permits. Again, other racing apps allow it.

Airplay doesn’t work. It will send the sound but no video. Attempting to connect Bluetooth headphones including AirPods requires restarting app.

Thanks for fixing the AirPod issue. They had been coming up as a screen a la Airplay. I’ll throw down a star for it.

Coverage is fantastic. Commentators are top notch and handle long delays, changing conditions, etc.

I don’t see myself re-upping next year.

The Apple TV app is absolutely useless. You can’t start watching a stage after it started because the video just never starts. The website and app are a pain to navigate and messy feeling all over. Extremely hard to discover what you are looking for. Extremely disappointed.

by Bajamba

It freezes and will not bring the video full screen. If the internet slows, it freezes and when it begins playing again gives me an error that there are too many users logged into my account. I only have RallyTV , I’m the only user. This has been a constant issue that’s gone unresolved for 8 months since I signed up for the service.

There also no way to submit feedback in RallyTV so you’re left hoping they look at RallyTV Store reviews

by IDMule

App is probably good but when I connect my Bluetooth headphones the video goes black with a message that it is casting the video. Audio continues as if it thinks my AirPods are a chrome cast or some other video casting device, so please fix that so that I can actually watch the video when I have my headphones connected through Bluetooth.

Unable to use my AirPod pro with RallyTV. It thinks it’s a streaming device and doesn’t display any video on my phone thinking the AirPod pro is a video device. Come on guys, this is app 101

Also you should give the users the ability to hide standings if they’re pulling up RallyTV to view highlights. It makes it pointless to even log into RallyTV to view highlights because unpon logging in its screaming the results in your face.

Sorry but I had to give this a 2 star. I love the sport but it’s been years now since RallyTV has been out. There should be no excuses anymore

Wish RallyTV worked. It constantly restarts back to the beginning of a section. Airplay hardly works. Navigating is mediocre at best and results are spoiled immediately when you open RallyTV . It feels like a lot to pay for a service that has a bad app and website

by Mario Sanchez Armas

I absolutely love my WRC+ Subscription because it contain so much great content but RallyTV is awfully TERRIBLE. Spoils you the results as soon as you open it so it's only really good if you're watching it live. For highlights there is zero chance to not be spoiled as you have to navigate through RallyTV and it constantly shows the final result. Also AirPlay is completely broken for RallyTV with my iPhone 13 Pro running IOS15 and Roku. All other apps work fine, it's Judy the WRC one that is broken. Really for the $12 a month subscription that we pay we should have a MUCH better app that is better suited for people who can't necessarily watch every stage of every rally live. The content is so good and the execution so bad that the disappointment is absolute.

I just paid for the WRC+ Live subscription and would love some updates for the iPhone X. Very buggy and slow. The live maps are unresponsive (3 days before a race) as well as other features like a majority of the arrow buttons don’t give an action when clicked (404 error). A huge overhaul of RallyTV would be sick and I would definitely pay the annual subscription fees for the services. I don’t want to be forced to use my windows laptop for an app that has serious potential! Get a new data team 😉

Come on. Who thought it would be a good idea to title videos post-event with Winner: the event winner. How about a spoiler free option in RallyTV or at least have a way of watching the event highlights without stumbling upon the name of all the winners.

MotoGP seems to be the benchmark for motor sports streaming with a spoiler free page and timeslip etc. Not everyone is watching live so please just have an events highlights option without telling me who won it.

Also, the audio regularly goes out of sync with the video. WRC is charging the same as other streaming apps but it feels a distinctly low budget experience.

Also, Jon Desborough is probably the most annoying commentator in sports. No mean feat in that profession.

It’s just as well the sport is compelling because RallyTV isn't.

by SGardner0451

RallyTV get the job done, but it’s infuriating to navigate, and clumsy to operate. Rally events are long, and it frustrates me that RallyTV does not keep progress of where you left off in any video. Playing ‘re-live’ videos is a pain, since you rarely get the video that you clicked on for some reason.

Recently, despite being subscribed to WRC+ I still get ads before watching some videos.

by Racer Brett

I get to watch all the old races which is why I paid for RallyTV .

App has to be reloaded between each video or the menu is completely off for some reason. Cannot stream to Roku TV.

by Fygar

Started subscribing a couple months ago, and while I love being able to watch the races in realtime, I’m constantly being tripped up by the somewhat confusing interface and way you have to select each leg and hope it’s actually the live portion of the race. There should just be a live channel that you select and watch live with races, commentary and the like without having to constantly click here and there.

And… for the love of God there needs to be more content. I would think there’s enough material on Group B to entertain fans for months alone. And there’s all the cars, the drivers, the tech, behind the scenes, the training for drivers, the factory tours, the pit tours, the personalities and everything else that could make RallyTV / service a true value.

Until then, if you’re a rabid WRC fan, then it’s worth subscribing during races, but cancel as soon as they are over bc that’s all you get.

by Aconcernedfellowwithaniphone

I am a subscriber to wrc+. RallyTV does keep up with the wrc action but it is buggy but usable for the basics of keeping up to date. I have used it on both my phone and iPad for the last couple years and would like to see an updated I pad version. If this happens I’m sure you will receive more subscribers. Red Bull’s tv app is sometimes more enjoyable to use.

Tbh i cant get the tv app to play replays but the website works

by Dr.mcoy_po0n_destroyer

WRCplus is a great service, if you watch rally car often it is the way to go. RallyTV can be a bit clunky but you can always get where you need to go one way or another. It would be nice if the service included some kind of security feature that would allow you to stay logged in when RallyTV is idle.

There’s quite a few problems with the new app.
1) Difficult to navigate
** fixed 2) Missing videos, or hard to find videos
Spent twenty minutes looking for daily highlights of Monte Carlo. Maybe I’m a fool but I couldn’t find the daily highlights. Ended up watching the full rally highlights.
** fixed 3) Bluetooth headphones are treated as a screen. Cannot watch while using them as RallyTV thinks the phone is casting to a device.
4) App does not track how much of a video has been watched.

Plus
1) live timing still works
2) videos work
3) live streaming still works

Added two stars. Bluetooth headphones work as expected now and I am able to find videos.

by Tweedlenuts

Been a subscriber to WRC Plus for awhile now, hated not being able to watch it on my Apple TV. Glad to see them finally giving the people what they've been asking for.

Haven't used it much, but I'm grateful I'm no longer limited to my computer or web browser on my phone. Thank you guys!

Every now and then there are some small issues but nothing that'll stop me from using it.

I trusted RallyTV to work, since other FIA series apps (like F1TV), well, actually work.

I made an account and purchased a “Season Pass” for $87. When I try to watch a video, RallyTV tells me that I don’t have an active subscription, and asks me to buy it again. I’ve checked in my iPhone settings - the subscription is there.

Out of curiosity, I clicked the button that would buy the subscription again, and I was given a pop-up saying “You already have this subscription”. Updated RallyTV , and still no dice.

This is a really bad user experience, guys. Come on.

Once reaching to Australia stages, after finishing the first stage and starting second stage the game automatically exit from RallyTV , I deleted RallyTV and redownlod it again and the same problem.
Such a problem should be solved, otherwise should return back the money paid for the game.

by Pneublet

App seemed great and the service seemed worth the price. As soon as I gave them my money RallyTV instantly crashes when opening. Reinstalling does nothing. Buyer beware.

Update: Their customer support got back to me and told be to go get another device and try again.

Apple should pull RallyTV

by Weather Pain

You purchase a subscription, they take your money and don’t give you access!

I was looking forward to the Rally this weekend but instead got $9.00 stole from me and no access.

Now trying to get a refund from Apple from this rip off app! Don’t purchase anything through RallyTV!

by BBooth1976

This is an app that is mainly designed for watching video, as such it should had an Apple TV version of RallyTV from the very beginning to make it easy to watch video on a screen I want to watch it on

by NeumannsofHudson

Had a problem with news stories not showing, but they already fixed it. App looks great, let’s see how it works when the season begins!

by Andy Rusho

Really great app easy to use and navigate! Looks great and matches the Wrc main page.
