Timer Stoppuhr für GPS und Rallye Training. Diese App ist die Kombination aus Countdown Timer und Stoppuhr. Im linken Bereich werden die Vorgabezeiten durch Antippen eingabebereit und mit dem Scrollrad eingestellt. Rechts werden die Zeiten gestoppt. Mit dem grünen Button links unten ( START ) wird gestartet und die Runden Zeiten festgehalten ( LAP ). Mit dem roten Button rechts unten wird alles gestoppt ( STOP ) und das Zurücksetzen ( RESET ) der Stoppuhr durchgeführt. Im oberen Balken wird die gesamte Abweichung zu den Sollzeiten angezeigt. Durch horizontales Wischen über die gestoppten Zeiten werden die Abweichungen der einzelnen Runden angezeigt. Nach Drücken von RESET können die Vorgabezeiten geändert werden. Überflüssige Zeilen können horizontal weggewischt werden. Zusätzliche Zeilen können durch Antippen von TIMER erzeugt werden. Maximal 50 Zeilen sind möglich. Der Timer zählt die letzten 10 Sekunden akustisch herunter. Die Lautstärke kann am Handy verändert werden. Ab Sommer 2021 kann die App mit der VinCar Smart Sensor Unit gekoppelt werden um per Lichtschranke die Messung auszulösen

The timing can be started and executed completely manually. For a better timing I recommend the use of my timing devices, which you can find on my website. All time measurements, as well as all participants with name and start number, are stored in tables within a database. Different tables with different control points and different participants can be created. The number of tables and participants has no limit. All these measurement data can be displayed, modified, deleted and exported as CSV file at any time. * A full version can be purchased via the In-App Purchase option. There are 3 subscriptions to choose from: - Full-version for 1 year - Full-version for 6 months - Full-version for 1 month * Note! The subscriptions are not renewed automatically. After the subscription expires, the restrictions of the free version will be applied again. * The only limitations of the free version: The total measuring time is limited to 5 minutes! Supported languages: German, Italian, English

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: VinCarLite at none against FS's 3. VinCarLite also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.0). FS's advantage is update cadence (every 2 months vs every 10 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
