BMX random gate start cadence for your iPhone / iPod Touch. OK riders, random start… Riders ready, watch the gate… beep-beep-beep-beeeeeeep... This application allows you to play the random gate start cadence used in international BMX events no matter where you are with your iPhone or iPod Touch (random delay included!). A new random delay is generated every single playback, so you'll never know when the beeps will go. A "must have" for any serious BMXer. Comes with a built in timer for delayed starts and auto repeat functionality so you can practice even when you are on your own. An excellent addition to any stumpy gate or sprints session.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: MYLAPS Speedhive at Free against Random Gate's $0.99. MYLAPS Speedhive also leads on rating (4.8 vs 3.8) and update cadence (monthly vs every 30 months). Random Gate's advantage is review sentiment (71% vs 51%) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 16.4). On ads, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

MYLAPS Speedhive holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MYLAPS Speedhive has 1.2K ratings behind it against 13, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 71% of Random Gate's written reviews are positive against 51% of MYLAPS Speedhive's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Random Gate ships an update every 30 months, MYLAPS Speedhive monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and October 17, 2026 respectively.
