1. 5/5Time and distance with data on improving

   Driving against your own self is probably one of the hardest things to do. The Garman has made it not only a challenge, but also a blueprint on how to do better, driving thank you for coming up with such a great tool to use for a weekend driver like me. I hope that you can make it even more simple somehow but it’s pretty good.

2. 5/5Incredibly user-friendly!

   I bought this device right when it came out and I’ve been using it for the last couple years. It’s truly an unbelievable device. I have Motec in my race car and it’s quite complex. This device is the very simple to use and allows me to have realtime input while I’m racing. I connect the audio to my headset, so lap by lap, I get info about how to drive each corner better. This is invaluable during qualifying and racing. Five stars.

3. 3/5Getting there but comparing to others frequently fails

   Really like being able to see the data on a device but the compare to friend feature way to frequently fails with the message about the tracks not matching well enough despite being the same track on the same days even. If they could fix that it’d be five stars for sure as of now the feature isn’t super useful Latest app update is reported to have fixed the compare but I still see the same issues

4. 5/5It deliveres so much for a reasonable price

   I wanted the data and was hoping I could get something that also offered a lap timer. Video was more of a nice to have and I never thought about the possibility of on track coaching tips. I’m more of an advanced non-professional. If you run every weekend at the same track you don’t need tips but I’m typically at a 5 different tracks a year and never the same one twice in a row. The tips are fantastic and they’ve showed me lines that aren’t what anyone else I drive with uses…and they’re faster. All those in one package but with fantastic integration. But the integration is useable seconds after you pull off the track and without even unbuckling your belts. The usability is absurd and the video is a fun nice to have so you can share/show off to friends and family as well as see the line (video and data) in corner 7 on lap 10 you just did. I didn’t even mention that it connects to a user community and leaderboard. Another layer of fun. I have no complaints other than I wish the data transfer to the mini SD card was a little faster but it’s a small small thing (I now do it while driving home) for such a complete and well thought out package that is executed perfectly. Very nice product.

5. 4/5Lacking Video

   This app is great on both the iPhone and iPad. The telemetry is very helpful to analyze on these device platforms to find areas for improvement. The user experience is intuitive, and I find it easy to connect the Catakyst to my phone hot spot to transfer the data to the cloud from the paddock. I know this feature was never promised, but I feel the lack of video review on my phone or iPad SHOULD be relatively simple for Garmin to add in today’s world of cloud computing. I pay for iCloud storage, so let me move my videos to my iCloud to review along with the driving telemetry data. This is why i’m only eating the app a 4 instead of a 5. Garmin team, you clearly know how to design a great app. I’m sure your product team wants to give their loyal users video!
