The Richta Rally Checkpoint Clock is an application designed as a timing device for use at checkpoints during Time-Speed-Distance road rallys. It can also be used as a time reference for Class B or "Seat of the Pants" rally classes. When the "Split" button is pressed the clock records the time of the split in a scrollable log area at the bottom of the display. An associated car number can optionally be recorded as well. Log entries can be reviewed by scrolling the screen and individual log entries may be deleted. The clock can be dynamically changed to record in seconds, tenths of a second, or hundredths of a minute (decimal minutes). A facility is provided to adjust the time of day clock independently of the devices clock so that the app can be synchronized to an external time reference without changing the device's clock. *** Note *** The accuracy of the clock over time, sometimes called drift, depends on the accuracy of the underlying hardware.

App for classic and sport oldtimer uniformity rally. This App is suitable for classic oldtimer uniformity rally. Speedpilot indicates the average speed not only with nummeri but visually with a progress indicator. So it is easier to understand if it is in average speed or not. The clock can be synchronized with GPS, atomic time or manual. The "Head-Up-Display" function is optionally available via the settings. This allows the mirrored display to be projected onto a windshield. Added the function "Share display". Share the display with a second smartphone/tablet so that the driver also sees the data from the current test. Progress indicator: Yellow = above average Red = below average Green = on average App works: 1. enter the average speed before 2. press the button "Start". * Distance measurement with wheel sensor (sensor-kit) or GPS The app can evaluate / measure the distance traveled with a wheel sensor or with GPS. Please note that GPS can only provide reliable measurements on open terrain. Therefore, please do not write negative reviews if the app cannot provide reliable measurements. For this reason I recommend the use of a wheel sensor (sensor kit) for mountain areas. For the start can be used an external Bluetooth-button.

Verdict

Checkpoint Clock's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and review sentiment (75% vs 50%). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.
