3/5Quit giving me times.
I loved it for the last 5 years but it quit registering. Never started going past start finish. No time.

1/5Terrible interface. It won’t work when you need it
Cons: - laps/race don’t start automatically. Nor is it obvious how to turn the race on. You have to go to the Race section, set up a driver, then the car, and then figure that the app will be waiting until you drive off. Extremely unintuitive. - finding your results is impossible. You have to go to the Analysis -> Lap Times, and locate a green dop next to the time (which indicates it’s you 🤦🏼♂️) - it gets worse, each time you go out for a new session, the Race needs to be manually triggered by setting the previous run as reference. - but what is the worst is the deception that a new session is recoding and working. You think you have triggered a new session and have put your phone away. Only to return to the pit to realize that app has silently produced some hidden alerts after you’ve triggered the new session and put the phone away! IMO this defeats the whole purpose. Pros: - when it does work the stats are well presented In summary, out of 5 sessions, I was only able to record 1. Terrible. Save your money.

1/5Finicky, legacy, doesn’t work well
This app is not easy to use and even if you learn how to use it, it doesn’t function properly most of the time. I did 50 laps at Laguna Seca last weekend with my phone connected to my GoPro and my OBDLinkMX+ and neither the GoPro footage nor the OBD data was recorded for even a single lap. At the beginning of each session I carefully made sure everything was configured correctly, thinking “maybe it will work this time”, but no. This app does not work well at all. It is a legacy app that hasn’t been updated very well over time and is lacking in reliability/ease of use. I do not recommend wasting nearly $30 on it. If you are just looking to time your laps, the super basic version might be okay to use. Personally I wish I had listened to the reviews before wasting my money on this app. Do not make the same mistake I did.

1/5Absolute garbage
I downloaded this app last year for a DE weekend. At the time, I found it very user in friendly and annoying, but at least it saved my videos and times. Yesterday I used it again for the second time: it froze in the middle of data transfer to my phone, crashed, and then proceeded to delete an entire day worth of lap videos. And then it did it to me again today. RIP video of COTA PR time. Harold and his developers should be ashamed to be selling this app. It is absolute rubbish.

4/5great app, but still needs some work
I am really impressed by this app, as it fills a need for the right price. I have wanted a GPS/accelerometer logger for HPDE events for the last several years, but have not been willing to fork up the $600 -$1000 this would cost. Although this app does not give the same precision and reliable performance as such a dedicated unit, it is functional enough to do what I want: compare laptimes and analyze sectors where I can improve, as well as provide data for later video overlay. I looked at several other apps, but they seemed more expensive and less functional that this one. pros: nice realtime accelerometer view, useful GPS status information, easy export of data in a usable format, and nice viewing of individual laps. cons: still needs work in some areas (for example, I have not been able to get the accelerometer calibration to work as intended... it never finishes the last two steps for the "drive in a straight line" and "linear braking/acceleration" component. "Force calibration" does not seem to do anything useful. My workaround has been to position the phone uncalibrated using a swivel ball mount such that both axis are zero when level and at rest, oriented pretty much vertically in portrait orientation), and it would be good if the intermediate accelerometer data was used to augment the slow GPS update rate, or at least was logged so that I could provide this correction myself. It seems from the development plan on Harry's website that this is in the works, so I am looking forward to the next update. Keep up the good work!
