Software is shocking
Catalyst 2 is really hard work. Never connects to the App and downloading videos is a constant issue.
Not fit for purpose
This device and app are simply not fit for purpose.
There are issues everywhere you look. I’ll list a few below:
- transferring videos from the device to your phone is painful. It is incredible slow and will fail 4 out of 5 times requiring you to restart. You also need to prevent your phone from sleeping by tapping the screen constantly for 45 mins.
- exporting laps to your phone rarely works. Most of the time, the app simply crashes. But if it does export, you often only get half a lap.
- Bluetooth audio will not connect to my car head unit.
- best laps and optimal laps are not syncing to my garmin vault subscription automatically (costs £10 a month)
- app seems to require internet connection in order to browse imported sessions. I would assume they were held locally on the phone.
This device should be recalled.

Don’t buy V2
This app is broken for catalyst v2 hardware. Saving a lap results in an app crash. I’m not sure how this app passed QA like this, extracting a lap with video was a huge bonus with the v1 setup.
Great performance driving tool
Super valuable data to understand your driving behaviors and to find opportunities to improve
A must have
Garmin is really the first data analysis tool any track driver should have. Its simple interface and ease of set up is what sets it apart.
The app helps with analysts and sharing of days between drivers.
