### 5/5 — Very worth it

*2026-05-31, version 2.46.1*

Use your phone, little lots. Wanna track your bike, add tracks, times, and get feedback. This app is great and worth the bit of money it costs.

### 5/5 — MX Buddy

*2026-03-12, version 2.46.1*

Amazing app, and Chris is super reactive when you’re in trouble with the app.

### 5/5 — Super App !!!

*2025-06-27, version 2.46*

Vraiment utile et facile à utiliser.

### 5/5 — Figata

*2025-06-05, version 2.45.2*

Bisogna capire come funziona , ma appena capisci funziona benissimo. Io uso un telefono vecchio messo sul paracolpi del manubrio. Certe volte il gps fa scherzi ma ci sta non è colpa di nessuno. I tempi ti da un orientamento sul giro molto soddisfatto.

### 5/5 — Super App

*2025-03-15, version 2.45.2*

Wir haben die App jetzt schon etwas getestete und sind sehr zufrieden. Was wirklich toll wäre eine angepasste Auflösung für das iPad. Weiter so.👍👍✌️✌️

### 5/5 — Great App!

*2024-08-24, version 2.42*

Paired with the Racebox MiniS, this app is amazing. 
Chris is amazing with responding to question. 

Can’t wait for future features. 

👍👍

### 5/5 — Great tool. Especially for woods racing.

*2023-02-02, version 2.36.1*

LitPro didn’t work for me since our laps are generally longer than 8 minutes (max lap time on LitPro). With this app, i don’t even need my phone with me when I race. I just record using the Apple Workout app on my Watch. And then it will import very easily to the MX Buddy app on my phone. All I have to do is set the start/finish line on the map and all the laps are right there. Love the compare laps feature.

### 5/5 — Excellent app for the price paired with an Apple Watch

*2022-12-31, version 2.35*

I’ve been using MX Buddy for about 14 sessions now paired with an Apple Watch. 

It takes a couple times to get familiar with all the features, but once you understand how everything works, this is a great addition to riding. 

I’ve used it at about 5 different tracks. 

Definitely worth the money!

### 5/5 — Mx laps

*2022-06-22, version 2.33.3*

This is the only app that gives exact lap times.  I’ve tried a lot of them n this one is a one time charge and works perfect with my polar Vantage M watch.  Thanks Chris for the help dialing it all in. 🙏🙏

### 5/5 — Great app

*2022-06-21, version 2.33.3*

Easy to use, sync with my garmin account and the developer answer any question if you can’t find the answer in the documentation ( great too)
