Don’t get a new phone!

Got a new phone transferred the app over. I use my same login and password and when I open the app, all of my data was gone. It’s almost like it over wrote my old account with a new one. Don’t worry though, somehow it still knows what the last track I was at was.

Great and simple

One of my friends recommended this app and I used it on my first track day.

Extremely simple to setup, the app automatically detects the closest track, lets you share times with friends.

I already suggested the app to 5 other racers on my first day using it.

My only suggestion would be to make the app record times while the screen is off. Because some beginners do not want to be distracted by looking at the time.

Lost my profile

I lost my profile after getting a new phone. I put in the same email I used and it just created a new account while my original still exists

Awesome!

Not a lot of experience with the app so far but my first track day it worked well between my friends and I. Would highly recommend and it’s free.

Bad to worse

Lately this app has been a let down. Never works never updates. Cool concept if it actually worked

Profile pic

App has no setting for updating profile picture. This needs to be fixed

Works Great

I love this app for track days. I downloaded without much thought because I needed something quickly at the track and it has been simple and consistent.

Nice. Even nicer if CarPlay!

I wish it can display on the car’s screen.

Photo Upload feature is broken

images stop loading at 90%

Very buggy lately

We are at track events already at 2 different places and the app would just not record the times or be extremely slow. If I was to guess its the servers that are not keeping up with the demand I Wouldn’t mind an AD here and there for better service and longevity of the app

Great tool for the track

Hard to navigate at first but once you get it down it’s great

A bit confusing

Wouldn’t automatically start timing it would take a couple laps kinda weird situation to find your times besides that it’s really good

It half works

As of right now this app is pretty buggy. It does the essentials right but some of the Hotlap Plus features do not work. The OBD2 recording feature doesn’t work. The live delta time while recording a lap doesn’t work. These are two features that sold me on purchasing a Hotlap Plus subscription, but they won’t work.

Great app

Very useful for comparing to friends at the racetrack. Accurate times.

Won’t let me pick my car

I am driving a kit type car—unless I missed it, there is no “other” car to choose.

The closest thing is a Caterham, it won’t let me enter that either.

Maybe it is user error, but it should be easier.

Also, on the telemetry, the text/title covers then MPH at the far left of the graph—it is hard to read since it covers the value.

Love it

The layout of this app is phenomenal and the data it provides is even better. It’s amazing to see everyone’s times in one single spot! The only problem is two of my buddies sessions (along with a few other drivers) were not recorded. All of my sessions recorded flawlessly and I am absolutely loving this app!

Awesome app, easy to use, cool features!

For a free lap timer, what more can you want? Does a great job, and the leaderboard tracking is fun to keep up with your mates

Review

I use the app ever month when I put my car on the race track, works well for me

Love the ease of use!

Used it for the first time and very easy to use! Wish the track layout shown is more accurate. It always shows Leguna seca icon

HotLap

Been using this app for almost a year now. For anyone that’s looking for an easy to use lap timing application that’s accurate and reliable this is it. Very pleased and it’s never given me any issues while on track. Used it at many tracks in Southern California including Buttonwillow Raceway Park, Willow Springs International Raceway, Auto Club Speedway, & Chuckwalla Valley Raceway.
