### 4/5 — Great app Bad UI

*2026-07-20, version 10.2.4*

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.

### 3/5 — Great…when the UX doesn’t get in your way

*2026-06-25, version 10.2.4*

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

### 5/5 — Awesome !!

*2026-06-19, version 10.2.3*

Simply the best

### 5/5 — Racebox mini is connecting now

*2026-06-15, version 10.2.2*

Great app! I had issues with racebox not connecting. But learned that you need to disconnect the other apps. Works great!!

### 5/5 — App incrível

*2026-06-05*

Simplesmente incrível e completo telemetria completa

### 5/5 — Profissional

*2026-05-23*

Aplicativo excelente para utilização com receptor de GPS externo. Utilizo com o JGPS da @DriveCopilot fabricado no Brasil e os dados ficam perfeitos!

### 2/5 — 定位数据不准

*2026-04-11*

最新版用谷歌地图一样定位偏移，完全没法用？

### 4/5 — 大疆！DJI

*2026-03-27*

希望能支持大疆的运动相机做为摄影机，gopro已经out啦

### 5/5 — gopro13への対応

*2026-03-24*

3月8日にサポートに問い合わせた時点で、「あと2週間程度で対応したアップデートを提供できる！」という返事をもらったので、アップストアの審査も考慮して、今月末かな？と期待大です！

### 4/5 — RaceChronon is my preferred datalogger on IOS

*2026-03-07, version 10.0.0*

My viewpoint is coming from some who is a cone dodger, not a track person, but I think if anything the app will work better for track usage. 

My 3 suggestions to go from a 4 start to 5 star app would be:

1) let me install the iPad version on my Mac so that I can review data on my much larger external monitor. 
2) allow me to play back the run in slow motion (1/2 speed, or 1/4 speed for example). Inputs in AutoX are so fast that I’m always trying to pan through the run in slow motion to digest the elements and what the car is doing. Can’t do it in real time. 
3) this may not be an iPad problem but at least on my phone the map by default is too zoomed out. I know autoX courses are smaller than tracks but the map by default is too far zoomed out on my phone to even see where in the run I’m looking at. I always need to zoom all the way in before I can look at any data, otherwise I have no context for where in the run I am.
