### 5/5 — Amazing!

*2026-06-26*

Thanks so much for creating this app. I’ve been looking for a way to get rough lap times while I work on setups during practice and this does the job great. No IR transponders. No drilling holes in the car bodies. Fantastic!

### 5/5 — Great app

*2026-02-17*

Very nice app! This is a must have for solo racing. Can’t wait to see what update brings us.

### 5/5 — Great for practice

*2026-01-24*

I have a small mini z track in my basement and this is perfect for running against myself.  It would be nice to have a minimum of 4s lap option since my track takes at least 4.5 seconds to make a lap.  Of course multi car support would be awesome even if we had to have different color body shells or something.  Thank you for making this!

**Developer response:** Thanks for using the app, and your nice feedback! I just added a 4s lap option in version 1.4 available now. Also I will be working on multi car 🙂

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.5 — 2026-06-23

NEW IN VERSION 1.5:

- Edit your laps after a race. Merge an accidental double-trigger into the previous lap, or trim a stray lap caused by bumping the phone — with a live preview and one-tap Undo. Your original race is always recoverable.
- Race notes. Jot down track conditions, setup changes, or how a heat went, right on the session.
- Custom minimum lap time. Dial in your own minimum (down to the decimal) to cut out false triggers on short, fast layouts.
- Redesigned leaderboards. Separate Fast Lap and Race Time boards, race-time results grouped by lap count, and a cleaner best-lap trend chart.
- Smarter Driver stats. Track performance is now broken out per layout.
- Refreshed consistency score for a more accurate read on how even your laps are.
- Stability and polish: fixed rare crashes opening older sessions, fixed stale best-lap times on history cards, added a delete confirmation, and more.
