Racing Post Reviews 166

Bring back the old app this new one is terrible, if I could I would give it no stars.

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.

Why on earth did u I change it to this rubbish!! Please change back to the old app

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 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.

I loved the old version of the app, I've been using it for as long as I've been horse betting but the new update has completely ruined it there are so many problems to mention. PLEASE CHANGE IT BACK

Terrible update to a great app , much too complicated , please just admit you messed it up and give us the old one back , it was so much better , why fix something that isn’t broken! After using it every day for at least 10 years , I have just deleted the app !!!

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 delete it now.

Absolutely hate the revamped app. Not user friendly at all and I don't think it's a case of getting used to it. Open it up and find myself immediately coming off it. Why change??????????

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

This app is appalling, what on earth possessed them to use this, deleted and will not use again.

Please bring back the old one this is too over complicated

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.

They work with the bookmakers so YOU LOSE. Gangsters.

All I can say is the updated app is over complicated and confusing, with the old app I could select 10 races and select what races I wanted in what bets with the new app that option is not there, I won’t be betting as much as before for sure

Doesn’t say who’s giving the tips so as to avoid the bad tipsters. Hardly any of the best tipped horses ever win. Massive scam by the bookies.

What a nonsense having to register with a bookmaker before a form guide
Totally sold out to bookmakers what a shame

the racing post is an extremely bookie friendly newspaper. it depends on those people for both sales and advertising. it almost went bust a few years ago due to rapidly declining sales and dwindling advertising revenue. it's rescue from the dust bin is a very strange tale indeed.
it would be the kiss of death for it to provide regular winning tips for its non-bookie readers so it doesn't.
the percentage of winning tips it from it's selections is woefully small, less probably than the world's worst pub racing genius/bore.
a good part of it's advertising revenue comes from so-called racing tipsters many of whom are on a commission from big bookies for whom the provide info. on their gullible clients.
stay well away from the RP and their sleazy experts and pundits and never bet more than you can easily afford
