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

Awesome !!

Simply the best

Racebox mini is connecting now

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

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

gopro13への対応

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!

RaceChronon is my preferred datalogger on IOS

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.

Missing features

it utterly lacks about half the most features you’d expect out of a $20 app like this.

App incrível

Simplesmente incrível e completo

Excellent features, poor UI

5 stars for the features, 1 for UI. The app is supposed to be used in rough environment with bright sky background and touches in gloves, so why the main UI controls are so bleak and small? I’ve lost my data multiple times because of these UI issues. Plz hire a designer and make the app at least usable from UX perspective

Response from developer

It's a tool app, not eye candy.

Hope to support multi-frame message

Very good customization function.

Only one update I want is to support multi-frame message.
When I request a PID, if the response is a multi-frame message, and the first frame is correct, it will not send a flow control (such as 0x30 00 00) to controller and cause the multi-frame message aborted

请支持carplay音乐播放

想用做日常行车记录仪,但在手机开始录视频时,音乐播放就自动停止了😭

Carplay

I hope can use in carplay …

CarPlay

This app is very convenient; I use it for recording on my phone with the RaceBoxMini and an OBDII adapter. Please add CarPlay support, I really miss that feature.

Response from developer

We have a CarPlay prototype, but it needs some more work before it's good enough for our standards.

地图偏移

iOS和Android两个版本我都买了,9.1.3仍然在中国大陆存在偏移问题且无法解决

Как я жил без этого?

Данное приложение - прекрасный комбайн для автоспорта. Использую в паре с RaceBox для отсчета времени круга. И vGate iCar 2 для мониторинга параметров автомобиля. С последним у меня есть предложение. Чтобы можно было в один клик загрузить имеющиеся данные по obd2-датчикам/CAN у сообщества. Поиск информации по форумам и отладка данных занимают много времени, хотя точно такая же работа была проведена другими пользователями.
