Does anyone know if you can get an English version of the ACO app? Or even if it's possible to switch the French version to English? Driving me nuts!

I got the app on my phone before Le Mans this year and barely looked at it.

Depends what you want it for. I use the WEC app for live timing and live pictures for the whole season.

With rubbish connectivity at Le Mans, I only occasionally check the app for positions. I confess I've seen little of the rest of the WEC this season.

I think both Apps are pretty poor and i understand that they are very seperate in terms of functionality.

The ACO App doesn't appear to get updated. No news stories or information appears to run to close to the event timing and there is no switiching of language, so i can only see the benefit being that your ACO card details and barcode are available in the App if needed. I believe the one thing you'd expect this App to do; Give you access to buying tickets - it doesn't!

The WEC App was quite good at one point but they redeveloped it for 2022 and made a mess of the App and video streaming. I appreciate the race timing still works OK during the race but i think it's gone backwards in terms of what it used to be like.

Sadly, like most Apps, if you don't launch something that works and is functional from day one you lose your audience.

I was just about to post the same question. I'm sure I got some of it in English when I originally downloaded it, but it all seems to be French now.

This is exactly what I use the app for.

I could have sworn there were at least some pages in English last year. Maybe they'll add an English version back in closer to June?

I get English on one page, which is the Acceuil (Welcome) page, Dernieres Actualites (Latest News) tab. Other than that it's all French.

Glad it`s not just me then ! I assumed there was another option somewhere to translate to English, but being in French, I wouldn't spot it. My sister is fluent, so I will collar her next time I see her and get her to have a look through.
