Feels like a drag race simulator. My only suggestion would be to have engine rpm’s rise or get louder when both vehicles are staged on double bulbs. Otherwise this app is great practice.

Setup... then setup again.

I get everything set up the way it is when/where I usually race —the sound of the car, the crosstalk, day/night — then I enter the actual practice tree mode and do my thing. Then, it’s back to setting everything up again. The delay and rollout is saved, but the sound, the crosstalk, day/night changes itself back every time. It gets annoying really fast when you realize crosstalk has been automatically turned off or it’s night when you wanted it to be day.

Other than that, though, this app is a good way for an ol’ bracket racer to practice RTs. Also, keep in mind I’m writing this while gritting my teeth in frustration right after I had to reset everything for the 4th or 5th time.

Hi JonSP3030, Just before a race, you can set things up how you want for the upcoming race, but they will reset to default. To change the defaults (like sound, day/night, etc) so the settings are "permanent", click the Gear icon in the top right corner. There are many settings to choose from that will remain after each race...you then of course could change them for one specific race as you've discovered. Sorry for any confusion.

Not happy

The app is way too inconsistent. I should have read the previous reviews, definitely would have passed on this purchase.

This is not a common complaint Gambler013. Only 1 person has ever complained of this and I never received any details regarding the specifics of the issue. There sometimes is confusion because there is a setting that allows for 0.000 based results (perfect reaction) vs 0.500/0.400 based results (old school perfect reaction). In addition, since the app runs on devices that max out at about 60 frames per second, there is some fractional amount of delay between the screen being asked to update and actually showing the update...which could cause some inconsistency issues on much slower devices. If you could provide some more details, it would be helpful to narrow down possible problems. What type of phone/tablet are you using? What type of racing are you using? (ie. using gas pedal, transbrake, delay box, etc) Are you running pro street or sportsman? Can you give a more detailed scenario of your reaction times from one race to the next (using the same settings each time)?

As Advertised

More functionality than I will probably use, but it’s better to have and not need lol.

Solid $2 investment.

Incredibly inconsistent

It’s all over the place. I’m not .02-.04 whatever then -1.? The next run. Maybe I have the settings wrong but if I doubt it. Want it to work since I paid for it but it is soo inconsistent I. Ant use it.

Sorry for the late response Jason! And I apologize for any frustration you may find with Starting Line. I haven't had any reports of it being inconsistent in the way you describe. There sometimes is confusion because there is a setting that allows for 0.000 based results (perfect reaction) vs 0.500/0.400 based results (old school perfect reaction). In addition, since the app runs on devices that max out at about 60 frames per second, there is some fractional amount of delay between the screen being asked to update and actually showing the update...which could cause some inconsistency issues on much slower devices.

Good app

All the functionality you would want a practice tree to have is there.

Very confusing

I don't understand not can I adjust the reaction time delay thing. No matter what you do the RT is always .400-.500 and never quicker. Seriously ???? I've seen quicker reactions at the track all day regardless of when you time the light. Fix it app people

Hi there. Sounds like you would like to have 0.000 based results (traditionally, a 0.500 would be a perfect for the Sportsman tree and 0.400 for the Pro tree. By default, Starting Line uses the traditional timing). You can switch to use 0.000 based results by: - go into the settings (Gear symbol on the top right) > General > Use .000 based results (instead of .500/.400) - Set to Yes. Sorry for any confusion!
