### 3/5 — Doesn’t work

*2024-06-16, version 1.7.2*

App connects to Bluetooth, but the back icons and add driver text is hidden behind the phones time and battery status. 
You can complete a race but then the app refuses to backup out of the race complete screen. 

I suspect it needs tweaking for the newer phones with Dynamic Island.

### 1/5 — Disappointed

*2023-01-09, version 1.7.2*

Very limited functionality and support.

### 3/5 — Would be great but....

*2021-05-04, version 1.5.9*

A few issues / bugs which need fixing, adding here for the dev to look at:

- calibration speed needs to be set to 2x to 3x actual to work
- fuel pit stop is always 1.5 secs regardless of setting

### 4/5 — No signal to go on the final countdown

*2020-03-31, version 1.5.6*

Awesome app now
Still few problems 
No sound for the last countdown take off,So you don’t have to look at the screen all the time
the cars still take off before the countdown finishes

### 5/5 — This is Magic!

*2020-02-18*

If you enjoy racing, this is the app for you!  Adds a level of control and realism to slot car racing that is unmatched. So many options not included in the official Scalextric app. And, even more importantly, it comes from a developer that is always around to support what the community wants. Magic is active on the forums, listens to requests, and is willing to add the features that the community wants. 

YOU NEED THIS FREE APP!!

### 5/5 — Just Magic

*2020-02-09, version 1.5.2*

This app is absolutely fantastic , just finished a small routed layout and added the power base and this app 
I’ve had laptops and other race programs in the past but this is so simple to use and does everything you need for great racing 
Cheers

### 3/5 — End of race

*2020-01-15*

Regardless of the setting, the cars won’t stop running at a slow rate around the track.

### 4/5 — Bluetooth(magic arc app)

*2019-12-10, version 1.4.3*

### 5/5 — Thank you

*2019-02-14*

### 5/5 — This App is awesome!

*2019-01-14*
