Needs some improvement
For what it costs, I get other fun features with TrackAddict . Racechrono is missing more gauge design options. The landscape mode is bothersome since you have to press that button to allow the rotation for the camera. Also the app has issues exporting to the camera roll. Additionally, getting the GoPro to work with it is hit or miss and a pain.

Please add perspective or track up orientation to map
So far so good. Connects to RaceBox Mini S quickly. For developer: would be helpful to enable map to not be north up all the time. Would be helpful for rally and hillclimb to be able to use map view as a live trace of map. This would be helpful for learning a road as it would show which section is coming up and not getting lost.

Great timing system
The best AX timing system I have ever seen in my 27 years of enjoying the sport. Highly recommend

Great app Bad UI
It could be great. Someone should rethink the camera orientation lock thing, and separate record button. Putting it in. Settings where it records video when you click record session is obvious fix.

Great…when the UX doesn’t get in your way
I’ve used this app for 2 separate track days now. While I’ve found the overall quality of data, export options and GPS tracking to be solid, the UX is a complete nightmare, especially given that this is a paid $20 app. I had multiple sessions not record the video feed because the UX is not very clear about when the camera is active vs when it’s not. Not to mention, the whole landscape vs portrait orientation lock just adds more confusion because it can end up with the camera orientation locked but the overlay changed. Also why are both the “STOP” and “START” buttons shown as red? I literally missed my best session because there is no easy visual cue for whether the video feed is being recorded or not. This could be as simple as giving an option in the settings to always turns on and record camera feed when recording a session.
I was originally going to give it 4 stars instead of 3 because when it works, it is genuinely good. But someone else also brought up the UX issue and the dev response was “it’s a tool not eye candy”. As a dev myself, this is not a good sign.
I understand that when your work is up for public comments, it is not easy to see it get criticized, oftentimes unfairly. But the bad UX is a serious issue for an app that’s used as a tool for track days, where we don’t have time to fiddle about as our session is about to start. There are far more important things like safety measures to worry about rather than try to figure out if the app is recording the video feed or not
