What's New in SmoothTrack

2.01

October 25, 2025

2.01 - New App Clip for trying out a simplified version of SmoothTrack with yaw axis tracking! - Fixed QuickViews not persisting between app launches - Fixed eye tracking settings not persisting between app launches - Fixed AirPods Pro mode to work whether or not tracking was set to on. Added a button to show the AirPods Pro mode capability. 2.0 was a HUGE update of SmoothTrack: * Brand new and improved UI, rewritten from the ground up to be 93% less ugly! * Added eye tracking capabilities for nudging the view when glancing around! Activate eye tracking by tapping the eye button, and set up eye tracking sensitivity in the settings. * You can now easily create camera offsets with camera control gestures: panning with one, two, or three fingers on the screen. * Easily save, choose, and delete offset quick views right on the main screen. I really hope you enjoy SmoothTrack! If you do, you can support it by leaving an App Store review and by spreading the word to your sim communities!

Brilliant!

Very good all around, smooth as silk like TrackIR, you can even use AirPods for head tracking and there’s a dark mode so that your phone doesn’t get too hot. Literally plug and play, very easy USB setup with zero latency. 10/10. All for 15 dollars!

Awesome

I got my brother into dcs and I needed a second head tracking salutation - didn’t want to buy track ir again and now I don’t have to! This is amazing thanks to the developers

Simply Amazing

Such a great application, it works smoother than neural net no need to have your CPU do more processing when summing, all the processing is done on your iOS device.

Such great work from the developer, and look forward to the future features.

FAQ

What does SmoothTrack do?

SmoothTrack uses your phone's camera to track your head and eye movements, translating them into in-game camera control for PC simulation games. It offers 6 degrees of freedom for a more immersive experience without requiring any extra hardware like VR headsets or specialized trackers.

What games are compatible with SmoothTrack?

Any game that supports the FreeTrack or TrackIR protocol will work with SmoothTrack. This includes popular titles such as Microsoft Flight Simulator, DCS World, Elite: Dangerous, and Euro Truck Simulator 2, among many others.

Do I need to buy any extra equipment to use SmoothTrack?

No, absolutely not. SmoothTrack is designed to work solely with the AR capabilities of your smartphone. You do not need any headsets, external cameras, or other accessories to use it.

How does the head tracking work?

The app uses your phone's camera to monitor your head's position and orientation. These movements are then translated into in-game camera adjustments, with movements slightly exaggerated to allow for precise control with subtle head gestures.

Can I save specific camera views?

Yes, you can store custom views, such as a copilot perspective or a close-up of the cockpit, as 'Quick Views'. This allows for easy and quick access to these pre-set camera angles during gameplay.
