## What is STAR Race Timer | 0?

MEASURE YOUR CAR'S ACCELERATION — WITHOUT EXPENSIVE GPS TRACKERS!

With STAR, anyone can measure how quickly their car accelerates. Time how long your car takes to reach a certain speed, or how long it takes to cover a set distance such as the quarter mile — all using nothing but your phone.

Configure your runs safely at a standstill, and with rolling starts the app automatically detects the moment you pull away and begins measuring for you. You can even run multiple measurements at the same time.

Every result is stored locally on your iPhone so you can revisit it later — no data is ever transmitted to us. Each run comes with analysis tools like graphs, top and average speed, a map of the route you drove, and more.

—— FEATURES AT A GLANCE ——

• YOUR GARAGE: Add every car you drive — complete with a photo and details like make, model, year, drivetrain, power, and weight. STAR tracks each car's runs and records separately.

• STATS & PERSONAL BESTS: See each car's best 0–60, top speed, quarter mile, averages, and run counts at a glance — and watch how every new run stacks up against your personal best.

• UNLIMITED MEASUREMENTS: Want to time the quarter mile and 0–60 in the same run? No problem — configure as many measurements as you like at once, and STAR handles the rest.

• DIFFERENT MEASUREMENT MODES: Speed-based or drag race (distance) — choose the modes that fit the run you want to make.

• ROLLING STARTS: Set everything up safely while stationary and let the app do the work — your measurement begins automatically the instant you start driving.

• IN-DEPTH ANALYSIS: Every run is saved locally and can be explored afterwards with a speed graph, top and average speed, route details, and more.

• ROUTE MAP: The route you drove is saved with each run, so you can revisit it later on a map.

• HISTORY, ORGANIZED: Browse all your runs in the archive and filter by car to find exactly what you're looking for. Delete any run you no longer need.

• LIVE SPEED & GPS INFO: Keep your current and top speed in view throughout every run, and check your live GPS satellite count to confirm a strong signal before you launch.

• DARK MODE: Driving at night? STAR follows your iPhone's appearance settings and includes a dark mode with true blacks — easy on your eyes and your battery.

• PRIVATE BY DESIGN: All of your data stays on your iPhone. Nothing is sent to us.

### 1/5 — Dumb app. How hard can it be?

*2026-06-26*

I’ve done it every which way. It successfully measures my 0-60 once. Now it says it will but just never does anything useful. Not enough user interface to even try do anything different. The developer is not good at developing

**Developer response:** Sorry STAR let you down! That's frustrating, especially when the first run worked. This usually happens when a rolling-start measurement stays armed: it only triggers once the car is first at or below the starting speed, and a weak GPS signal can delay detection. Version 2.0 reworked the whole measurement system and UI. I'd genuinely appreciate it if you gave STAR another try! If it still misbehaves, email me at hi@sunnyside.dev and I'll figure out what's going wrong.

### 3/5 — I wanted to love it

*2024-03-13*

I love how you can add the speeds that you want to test but there isn’t a start stop button.

**Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback! I agree the UI around starting measurements was confusing. However, it's now fixed! STAR 2.0 improved the user experience around measurements a lot and should make the difference between manual and rolling-start measurements a lot clearer. If you're still using STAR, I'd love to hear whether the new flow works for you! Feel free to send an email to hi@sunnyside.dev if you still experience any issues.

### 1/5 — Glitches

*2023-06-22*

Heavy glitches that made the app unusable even thought it looked good.

**Developer response:** Sorry about that experience! A lot has changed since 2023, including the measurement engine and the entire interface. The stability issues from back then are gone. I'd be happy if you gave STAR another try and hear how it goes: hi@sunnyside.dev.
