What's New in Race Buddy

3.3.1

September 15, 2026

• RaceBuddy now runs properly on iPad. Real iPad layouts instead of a stretched phone screen, landscape everywhere, and the app can sit in its own window beside another one. • Diff Time can draw the strip. Your car and the reference ghost run up a 1/4 mile lane beside the number, with marks at 60 ft, 1/8 mile and 1000 ft, so you can see where the gap is and how much track is left to close it. Off by default — turn it on with the flag button next to Diff/Predicted. • Power & Torque: the peak at the top now matches the curve underneath it. Both come from the same pull, and the peak torque marker sits on a point you can actually see on the line. • A run that loses the GPS link at the moment you launch now says so, instead of handing you a report with nothing in it. Times that only mean something from a standstill are no longer measured from a car that was already rolling. • Tap the run chart in any language and the readout is there. It had only ever been filled in on English devices. • Run reports show the whole car name again — a 3-Series (G20, G21, G80, G81) was turning up as "3". • Speed interval times under the chart no longer print on top of each other. • Every language fits its buttons now: no words split across two lines or cut off halfway, and over a hundred missing translations filled in.

Пропала возможность встроенного gps в телефоне

Очень жаль что теперь нельзя со встроенного

Response from developer

Встроенный GPS вернулся. В версии 3.2.0 появился режим Phone Mode: телефон измеряет своим GPS и датчиками — бесплатно, без внешнего устройства, с пошаговой настройкой и предупреждением о точности. Наш прежний ответ о том, что эта функция удалена, больше не актуален. Попробуйте ещё раз.

Too slow

Way too slow to record anything. Maybe if you drive a prius it might work.

Response from developer

Our earlier reply here said we had removed regular GPS support. That is no longer the case: version 3.2.0 adds Phone Mode, which measures using your phone's own GPS and motion sensors — free, with no extra hardware. Run detection was reworked as well. Worth another try.

Useless

App doesn’t work. Closes itself when you connect to iphone gps.

Response from developer

Phone GPS is back, and it is no longer just an example. Version 3.2.0 adds Phone Mode: your phone's own GPS and motion sensors as a free measuring source, with guided setup and an honest accuracy notice. The crash you hit when connecting to iPhone GPS was fixed long ago. Our earlier reply said phone GPS was not worth using — that is no longer where we stand.

Отличная программа.

Очень хорошая программа с отличным функционалом, пользовал её в связке с RaceBox. Прошу сделать её платной с оплатой один раз и навсегда по подписке нет смысла её покупать 1500 рублей в год очень дорого при её использовании.

Response from developer

Вы просили разовую покупку вместо подписки — теперь она есть: Lifetime PRO, один платёж, без подписки. Наш ответ 2023 года про снижение цены годовой подписки больше не отражает все варианты. Спасибо, что написали об этом.
