Rated 1 out of 5 stars

The latest race card update has completely ruined the experience. It is spread out too much, and very hard to read. Going through the form is more difficult, and it takes far longer. Checking bo... See more

I have been using Racing Post online for years and was very happy with it. This was change for changes sake with the designer losing sight of the site's fundamental purpose - to give as much informat... See more

Utter shambles. The bright spark who thought revamping what was already very user friendly should be ashamed of themselves. Of course Racing Post will defend it. Who needs affordability checks, this w... See more

Why are the racing post trying to be clever with the new updates. The old version was straight forward, quick and easy to read. It’s hard enough picking horses to win without all the new format. Just... See more

Arrrrrgh!

Arrrrrgh! Why?!
Apart from all the annoying fancy graphics which I’ll probably get used to, my main issue is they delete the card when the race is run so you can’t look back to see what the form comment was pre race. The new look does not entice me into the app. I might actually save myself a few quid as a result.

Appalling update

Appalling update. Lost loads of functionality, ease of use, good info and it’s a terrible layout with shocking navigation. Was my go to app for all my racing info and betting. Won’t be using it any longer and have switched to Skybet.

THE NEW RACING POST APP IS WORSE THAN THE ONE IT REPLACED .

I have been using it for years but won't be using the new one .

The old version had every thing to hand, the new one well its a joke you try find something .

Every thing is a shambles. The old one you opened it up everything was to hand.

You could DO your own predictor and see what was what see clearly the rating of each horse etc , KNOW IS A JUMBLE I would not even give it one out of 10

I switched to the new Racing Post App…

I switched to the new Racing Post App last week. It is appalling. The betting sights from the App don’t seem to allow deposit or withdrawals. It’s Racing tab is too busy and poorly set out, very difficult to find your way around or find analysis etc. The “look” is also poor and just doesn’t work. Urgent work needs to be done, as the RP reputation is at stake.

Agree with all the comments why change an excellent easy to use app to something that is no longer user friendly and takes longer to place a bet??
Who ever developed the app obviously doesn’t place bets!!

The new all-singing and all-dancing…

The new all-singing and all-dancing Racing Post app is totally user unfriendly. The old app was a joy to use, and perfect for smart phones, everything fit on the screen, and all the info you could need was a few clicks away at most. I suppose my only quibble with the old site was you had to select which bookmaker's odds you wanted to view rather showing the best odds. The new app just seems to be the Racing Post website turned into an app, and with all that information, IT JUST DOESN'T FIT ON THE SCREEN.If I wanted the website, I'd go online on my pc. It's a chore to use now, and so I don't. It's easier to log on to any bookie's app, and look at the racing there, which is what I'll be doing, and I'll be deleting the Racing Post app. What a shame.

The new Racing Post App is terrible

The new Racing Post App is terrible. I've been on it the last few days and I still find it hard to use. Too complicated, too slow, difficult to navigate through all the information, so frustrating compared to the previous version which was a hundred times better. Bring back the old one please.

New app is awful to use

New app is awful to use. Over complicated. Lay out is bland. More work to select different information. Last app was perfect with its simplicity. Will probably delete now. Shame

Horrific is all I will say about the new racing post app. I’ve contacted them 2/3 times and it’s still no better. Crashes, it’s low and has so many annoyances. The old app was so superior and was a great tool for racing when using your smart phone. I have lost count the amount of times it’s crashed or hung, it’s the most frustrating tool now. They haven’t perfected it yet, it’s a work in progress and IMO should never have been released when it’s this bad.
