Harry's LapTimer Rookie User Reviews

Top reviews

Jetzt auch mit CarPlay

Mega App jetzt nun endlich auch für CarPlay freigeschaltet. Super Support wenn man eine Funktion mal nicht findet. Auch die 10tel Sekunde genau verglichen mit dem offiziellen RCN Timing.

Schrott

Spart euch das Geld. Schlimmste App die ich jemals gesehen habe.

Finicky, 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.

Rubbish

Couldn’t even get this started, should be just start/stop review data… but awful layout and requires add on’s for everything, basically they just want you to buy the full version. Don’t bother!

Absolute 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.

Quit giving me times.

I loved it for the last 5 years but it quit registering. Never started going past start finish. No time.

barely ever works

had this along time. used to work well but now seems to never work. interface is very confusing and hard to achieve the given task. starting the timer is temperamental. seems to often not run or otherwise incorrectly start or end the lap. the last 4 track days i have not been able to record a single lap time that i think was realistic dependable data.

Terrible 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.

Absolute waste of money

This app does not work at all it is a complete waste of money DO NOT BUY

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Super App! Ich benutze sie auf der Nordschleife und bin sehr zufrieden was man für 10 Euro kriegt 👍🏻 erstmals ist es etwas schwer rein zu finden aber wenn man drin ist einfach nur super!

Highly recommended

I use the lap timer on my iPhone to collect data while hire karting. I have the phone strapped to my leg under my suit and use a Dual GPS device too. I do analysis on my iPad. After a bit of fiddling to get it to work reliably the app is really good and I regularly get while races of up to 40 laps recorded. The telemetry is overlaid on to footage recorded on my GoPro 7 and works really well although it can take up a lot of space. For examples, feel free to check out my pages on Facebook.com/dougidleracing.

Chasco

Vaya chasco; 10 euros tirados, podrían ofrecer la
Posibilidad de recuperar el dinero: conforme la he bajado la he borrado

Great very innovative and amazing !!

I have read some bad reports on this app, but honestly I thing that these people should learn how to use it !! I have found this one very handy and very easy to use ! I also use one satellite receiver to make it more precise, but not needed. I strap my iPhone on the bike dash, and away I go, very easy and effective. Not only I can get lap times but also all the cornering speeds, and splits, with differences colour coded! Unbelievable ! Thanks Harry good job !!

Top Service

Der Entwickler, Herr Schlangmann, reagierte sofort mit einer Mail( innerhalb 45min!!!) bei Problemen die ich hier oben in Finnland hatte.
Problem derzeit gelöst. Die App startete die Zeitnahme nicht...
Jetzt scheint alles in Ordnung
Danke für die Unterstützung

Rubbish

Read that it’s great, downloaded and and tried to run. With high expectations.
It’s a complicated mess, you can select a track, but then there is no “start” button or anything to even start a track session.
Trying to get a refund, but that option is not available for this app!!
Would not recommend.

Funktioniert selten

Bei 30€ erwartet man eine funktionierende app :-(

Startet nicht mehr!

Ich habe in der Administration die Funktion Datenbank überprüfen ausführen wollen. Dabei stürzte die App ab. Nun stürzt sie direkt beim Starten ab.

Was mach ich nun?

Not user friendly

I have found this app almost impossible to use, and very counter-intuitive to get started. Even when I thought I had worked out how to use it, at the end of my track laps there was no data to be found. It would benefit from a redesign to make it much simpler for new users to get started

Absoluter Fehlkauf

Funktioniert leider nur sehr selten.
Es sollte so sein, dass der LapTimer „bereit“ ist und automatisch anfängt zu zählen.
Obwohl das Handy fest in einer Halterung ist und mit Strom versorgt wird (das setzt die App voraus) schafft es die App nicht automatisch zu starten.
Habe es jetzt nach mehreren Enttäuschungen deinstalliert und werde etwas anderes ausprobieren.

Waste of money

I bought the rookie version to use on a Castle Combe track day and I only managed to get one lap to time though I set up the app to time each session. As has been said by others, the interface is not user friendly or intuitive . I ended up downloading and using a free app that my friend was using and it was totally reliable and captured every lap. Save your money, there seem to be better apps out there for free.
