Not able to sort and weird functions

Lots of weird buttons that is unclear what it does to your videos. Pushed something trying to export and all of them disappeared. Not able to sort by best time, only by date/time. Records upside down and can’t automatically set to upright position, but all screen info is upright.

Too buggy and unreliable for video

I bought this many years ago and used to work great. but over the years Harry has added so many features that the app has become extremely unreliable. He really needs to restart and build an app that is much simpler and easy to use, and reliable. The biggest problem I have right now is that when I record a video, it is extremely difficult to extract the video including overlay data onto my iPhone. I have to first narrow things down to a specific lap, and then when I try to export that to my iPhone it fails 9/10 times. Even when it succeeds, it takes 5-10 minutes to export each lap video. Far too painful.

Barely Functional App

I can overlook Bluetooth connectivity issues for the data and overlay, although I purchased and use recommended gps and OBD2 devices. Those are spotty at best. The app does fine of data logging and the video looks good. But when you overly and export a video the app basically won’t do anymore video viewing or exporting. Then in the photos app you can’t view the video that was exported (or any other video in your library) until you reboot the phone. The app did this with my iPhone 15 Pro and now the same with my brand new 16 Pro. I’ve deleted the app and moved on. Payed a bit more for the Garmin Catalyst but it’s much better. Harry’s lap timer is nothing but headaches.

Absolutely Worthless App

Purchased this app that was referred by a friend who races but come to find out all of the local tracks are Not on that app. To get all of the maps you have to purchase the other Harry’s Track app. They know this but decide to screw people out of their money hoping people will purchase both apps. I could never get the first Harry’s app to work so beware!!

Sehr gute App

Ich habe die App schon seit Jahren in Benutzung. Habe sie früher zur Rundenzeiterfassung beim Moto Cross benutzt, dann beim Speedway und jetzt beim Flattrack fahren. Einfach Start-Ziellinie auf neuem Track setzen, Namen vergeben und ab gehts. Verwende ein altes IPhone mit Quadlock Halter >>> funktioniert perfekt und hält wunderbar.

Not working

Bought this App and inapp Video package. Completely not working, gopro 8 is Not being controlled. Contacted harry and was told to Start recording manually. Video cannot be added manually afterwards as the App shows no files on the phone. I want a refund

Club racer essential.

Must have app for track day enthusiast. It’s the Strava of motorsport.

Conditionally not working

Yeah. Nothing works at Thunderhill here in Northern California. I Requested my money back and no response. Can’t even review how good it works if it doesn’t even record where I am. Checked all setting for gps and location but nothing worked. I’ll invest in a Garmin or something real.

barely ever works

timer barely ever works properly and video is equally bad or worse. on three attempts it says i have recoded video yet the play back function doesnt work. very frustrating when i have now missed recording three full events. such a shame as used to be good 10yrs ago.

Use To Be Good Updates Don’t Work

This app use to be pretty good but now they have not kept up with new phone operating systems and seems like this app has run its course.

I just did an event at Sebring and none of the data works. The lap anylasis screen freezes up and forget about seeing your video or overlaying data. None of this works anymore!!!

On Harry’s Laptimer Facebook page all these screen lock up freezing issues are noted but it’s also mentioned there is no fix. They mention a work around but that really doesn’t work due to screen freezing and app completely locking up.

Beware do not waste your money or time with this app.

Amazing track app!

Amazing track day app! Works flawlessly and easy to use. Accurate timer, useable data and always evolving. Plus, Harald provides awesome customer support.

OBD wird nicht erkannt

Sehr enttäuscht, wenn ich mir die Auswahl der von der App unterstützen OBD Dongles ansehe, sind diese nur in USA erhältlich, oder längst durch neuere Modelle ersetzt…
Der Verweis auf den Expert Modus ist da wenig hilfreich
- Fehlkauf!

Doesn’t work anymore

Can get the track loaded and select drive and no data is recorded. Really bummed because I loved using the app in the past and it always worked great. Tried deleting and redownloading but it still would not record any lap data.

IT nerds only

Absolutely waste of money. Nothing syncs. No useful tutorials. 74 page PDF that makes no sense. You need an engineering degree to get this to work with a simple GoPro.

CONSTANTLY CRASHING APP

HOW DO I GET MY REFUND OF $27.99?

Top Laptimer

Sehr guter Laptimer, der immer funktioniert.

Sehr gute App! Leider etwas unübersichtlich und Anleitungen etc sind auf Englisch

not worth a pinch of ****

if i could give this app zero stars, that would still overrate it. it failed repeatedly during today’s track session. finally gave up and put my phone away. there’s &20 totally wasted. hopefully this will keep other drivers from wasting their money on this worthless app.

unreliable

This app never works at the track when it's time to go.

I had such high hopes for iphone data logging. This app has been one of the most disappointing components of the entire process.

I can't call support when I'm at the track.

It would be nice if the app store allowed refunds.

Simple and effective like my stock car!

It works, it’s easy and my friends are all amazed at the telemetry data it displays while recording video.
