Racebox companion app allows you to get detailed and precise results about your vehicle dynamics at 16Hz when paired with an external Racebox Bluetooth GPS device. The app will allow to: - Measure acceleration time from a standstill to a certain speed (0-60 km/h, 0-100 km/h, etc.) - Measure acceleration time from a standstill to a certain distance (60 ft, 1/4 mile, 1 mile, etc.) - Measure acceleration time in a certain speed range (80-120 km/h, 100-200 km/h, etc.) - Set up your custom metrics for speed and distance - Show your current driving data (altitude, heading, acceleration, road incline, precise speed, etc.) - Save VIDEO of your racing, follow onboarding instructions inside the app! All test runs are saved to the internal database allowing further sorting and filtering. For every test run the app keeps all necessary information for further analysis: - Detailed results for all metrics - Driving logs in CSV format - Result status based on road incline - Test run live map - Top speed and acceleration during the run Racebox app allows the creation of multiple user profiles for different vehicles. Select your preferred language inside the app. Export and share your test results! IMPORTANT: This app works only with Racebox devices (www.racebox.ru) and NOT with the iOS device's internal GPS.

MEASURE ANY SPEED RANGE Set custom start and end speeds or use built-in presets like 0-100, 0-200, 100-200, and 60-130 km/h. Switch between km/h and mph units instantly. HOW IT WORKS 1. Select your speed range 2. Tap Start to arm the measurement 3. Accelerate โ the app automatically detects when you cross the start speed 4. Timer stops precisely when you reach the target speed 5. View your corrected time with detailed analysis PRECISION ENGINEERING - Dual EMA (Exponential Moving Average) filtering for noise-free readings - Sub-sample threshold crossing interpolation for accurate timing - Automatic GPS bias and filter lag correction - Confidence rating (High / Medium / Low) based on GPS accuracy and acceleration data REAL-TIME SPEED GAUGE A beautifully designed gauge displays your current speed with smooth animations, color-coded status indicators, and live elapsed time during measurement. DETAILED ANALYTICS Every measurement includes: - Speed vs Time chart - Acceleration vs Time chart - Distance vs Time chart - Speed vs Distance chart - Corrected and raw times - Maximum speed reached - Average acceleration - GPS accuracy metrics COMPARE RUNS Side-by-side comparison of your last two runs with overlay speed charts and a detailed metrics table showing which run was faster. HISTORY & EXPORT - All measurements saved locally with up to 200 records - Swipe to delete unwanted records - Export individual runs as CSV - Export full history as JSON backup - Share data via any app CUSTOMIZABLE - Dark and light themes - km/h or mph units - Haptic feedback toggle - Advanced tuning: deadband, snap-to-zero, EMA filter alphas, correction bias offset PRIVACY FIRST Speed Timer works entirely offline. Your location data is used only for speed calculation and is never uploaded, shared, or stored beyond your device. Note: GPS accuracy depends on device hardware and environmental conditions. For best results, use in open areas with clear sky visibility. Speed Timer is intended for use on private roads and closed courses only.

Verdict
The clearest difference is iOS requirement: Speed Timer at 13.0 against Racebox's 15.0. On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
