Good as a stop watch only
I’ve attempted to use this app in over 6 races. And encounters the following errors
#1 don’t relty on the apps finish coordinates use a gps coordinates app and type it in
#2 when you get within a quarter mile the app starts gumping around like crazy. The reason I’m told is that once the app is at it doesn’t verify with gps u til close to the end point. I’m not sure this is true but expect it to act wierd towards the end
#3 just use it as a tool with your other gps devices and stop watch. Don’t rely on it
#4 get a garmin gps unit and connect it to your phone e for better gps accuracy
Doing all that for $15 you be the judge a good stop watch will cost you 10
The positives
It looks like the distance count down works ok and the timer works it’s just the up and down speed that will go nuts at the end

Worked for me
My first race I figured it out and placed 5th out of 20 competitors. My second race I placed 3rd with a margin of .008 over 120 miles. I don’t understand the bad reviews
Use this as an assistant to your human brain
I’ve used this since 2021. Competing in 14 open road race competitions. In all three racing organizations that are still running. The rumors of why people lose are WILD. My personal experience is, get your own data like start and finish lines. Love being able to count several cars ahead and have the timer start dead on. People asking for the timer to start other than 30 seconds or top of the minute don’t understand how to use the app or understand how open road racing competitions functions. A+ and I love the haters. My favorite is their jaw drops when I tell them the app name and they already have it, adamant it doesn’t work. Racers are some of the biggest whiners out there accept your errors and put more seat time in. Sorry not sorry.

To many bugs to be useful
As much as I want the app to work it has to many bugs and is not useful. Have tried for 3 or 4 years and has only work as advertised 1 time. If you use it be ready with a back up!🤬
