Also doesn’t drain battery ### 1/5 — Crashes constantly *2018-12-31, version 1.5.4* Sadly can’t open this without it crashing 😔 ### 1/5 — Rubbish *2018-12-25, version 1.5.4* Very fiddly product DONT RECOMEND ### 3/5 — App crashes often *2017-11-25, version 1.5.3* Great concept but the app crashes often, particularly when trying to upload images of custom tracks. The built in catalogue could also be more comprehensive. All in all good fun though and does add to the game experience. ### 1/5 — iPhone 6 *2017-06-16, version 1.5.3* App won't start up on iPhone 6 ### 3/5 — Black icon iPhone 7 plus? *2017-05-22, version 1.5.3* Haven't used this for a while latest update made start icon black? ### 1/5 — Shocking *2017-03-04, version 1.4.5* An appalling application that appears to allow the user one race before informing them that they cannot access the function. Trading standards have been informed as this product does not perform as advertised. There are a surfeit of adjectives that describe this product, mostly four letters in length. You have let down a very young boy. You have let yourselves down. Anticipate me. ### 1/5 — less than okay with lots of window dressing *2017-01-15, version 1.4.5* Latest update doesn't work on the iphone se. On the older iphone, the app is the same, no noticeable improvements. I was expecting trackable stats related to cars, drivers and courses. You are basically getting a really simple lap counter and countdown timer for each lane. The pit stop gaming is okay. Email stats don't work. tracking inventory is worthless. be prepared to break out paper on race night. also a fair number of the buttons that look like features of the system actually do nothing, kind of like exhaust pipes on a slot car. window dressing ### 1/5 — Doesn't work on iPad Air *2016-12-27, version 1.3.0* Unable to add items to collection with green plus buttons, so cannot calibrate cars or race, leaving you with an expensive set you cannot use. Scalextric really needs to get this sorted as I can imagine a lot of upset people and children after xmas. ## Frequently asked questions about APP RACE CONTROL (LEGACY) ### What is this app?
