The Racing App from the GPSoverIP GmbH is intended for all racing sport fans, which have fun to get more information and details of the racing sport via new media. Using this App offers the possibility for fans to see the racing event in a visual way. Positions of the racing cars for example will be therefore displayed live on a race track. The user additionally receives additional information like race calendar, information on the teams and race tracks. This app allows racing teams via an authorization with their GPSoverIP-Account (GPSoverIP-Hardware GPSeye is required), to let their vehicles be shown on the selected race track for a desired time period. This application is through the input of third persons like the racing team and the provider a media, which is permanently changing in his cognition. In this case we want to point out that the quality of the ceased data depends on the assistance of third parties (for example graphical material, driver information, quality of the vehicle positions etc.). Herewith the GPSoverIP GmbH wants to thank in the interest of the user. The GPSoverIP GmbH also aims with this collaboration for a constant function enhancement of the Racing App in future. Note: For optimal use of the Racing app GPS services are used. Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life. ------------------------------- Features: - Live-demonstration of the racing vehicles - Team information - Sponsor information - Speed indicator - Racing calendar - TV-Out function Notice: The maps must be downloaded separately. We recommend to use a Wi-Fi connection. A visual output on screens or beamer is possible via HDMI adapter or AirPlay mirroring.

A photo of your car — and it moves into your showroom. Pixel Garage turns the photo into a little pixel vehicle with its own driving animation. It stands on a pedestal in your showroom, does its laps in the live view and stays visible on your Lock Screen and up in the Dynamic Island — right where you look a hundred times a day anyway. HOW IT WORKS • Take or pick a photo of your car or motorcycle • The transformation draws your pixel vehicle from it — with rims, mirrors and lettering • It stands in the showroom, drives in the live view and stays with you even while your phone is locked WHAT MAKES PIXEL GARAGE SPECIAL • Your actual vehicle, not a mascot: colour, rims, add-ons and stickers stay recognisable • Motorcycles, mopeds and classic cars become pixel vehicles too • Vehicle file: make and model, year, horsepower, mileage, best drive — your vehicle gets its story • Showroom with daylight: bright in the morning, dimmed in the evening, dark at night WORKSHOP — YOUR OWN VEHICLE • No car outside, but a favourite vehicle in mind? In the Workshop you load your own pixel image as a PNG — train, truck, tractor, bus or classic car • The app cuts it out, animates it and puts it in your showroom, on the widget and on your Lock Screen • Unlock it once for $9.99 ("Workshop forever") — no subscription, no renewal HONEST RULES • One-time purchase per transformation — no ads, no tracking, no subscription • No sign-up: the app knows neither your name nor your email address • The photo is processed for the transformation only and is not kept • Your vehicle stays on your device and survives a phone upgrade via iCloud backup Put your car on your phone — as a little pixel monument that is always with you. PURCHASES Every purchase is a one-time purchase through your Apple Account — there is no subscription and nothing that renews. "Workshop forever" ($9.99) unlocks the Workshop permanently; transforming a photo is bought per transformation.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Racing App at none against Pixel Garage's 2. Racing App also leads on review sentiment (78% vs 58%) and device support (3 vs 1). Pixel Garage's advantage is update cadence (daily vs monthly). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
