I used it all weekend, but I found the app to be less than friendly unless you were watching a live event uninterrupted.  I understand that it was built to cover a boat load of sports and like most here are specifically interested in racing.  Searching is cumbersome and while live events could be paused, they could not reversed like a DVR ( yup, I am spoiled).

So for last nights racing I chose to use the Silk Browser built into my Firestick and use that rather than the FloSports app.  Being logged into the FloRacing website allowed me to go forward or back and pause with better control of the event.

Anyone else do watch live racing that way instead of using the app, or am I missing something?

I use their Roku app and sit in the recliner with the race sound turned down noodling around on guitar while a cat sleeps on my lap.  Last night just as I turned on the race they were trying to get the first flip untangled from the fence so I switched to YouTube and watched the latest episode of Vice Grip Garage.  When I turned back to the race it was lap and flip, lap and spin for most of the night.  The cushion was sucking cars in and making it hard to watch for a while but it came around a bit by Feature time. 

Nope, I'm not your guy.  I don't feel a need to pause and rewind and do not hesitate to flip channels for a half hour to avoid fence repairs, ceremonies and down time.  The live racing equivalent is to get up and go to the rest room and concession stand.  This race is touted as one of the best anywhere but at times last night they struggled to stay green. 

We will try again tonight and hope the track doesn't wreck so many cars.  It's frustrating whenever a good battle for position starts and something stops the action.  I know from past years that it's going to get better as the week goes on so all we can do is buckle in every night and watch.
