Apex Copilot turns your iPhone or iPad into a real-time telemetry dashboard and race engineer for the Forza Horizon series — a fighter-jet targeting computer for your car. Open the app, point the game's Data Out stream at it over Wi-Fi, and every gauge comes alive at the game's frame rate. No wires. No account needed. Just live data from your console or PC, on a second screen on your desk. WORKS ACROSS THE FORZA HORIZON SERIES Apex Copilot reads the standard "Data Out" telemetry feed, so the live HUD, input scope and G-force work with any game in the Forza Horizon series that broadcasts it — Forza Horizon 4, 5 and 6. The built-in world map and official-race catalog are tuned for Forza Horizon 6. A RACING HUD BUILT FOR THE APEX - A 270° neon tachometer with a redline band and a shift-light bar that tells you exactly when to upshift. - Giant gear and speed readouts, with segmented throttle, brake, clutch and steering bars. - A friction-circle G-force ball with a fading grip trail. - A live best-lap delta bar, so you always know if you're up or down. BUILD THE DASHBOARD YOU WANT Pick the hero — tachometer, live map or timing tower — then fill the slots around it from 18 modules: sectors, delta, G-force, power, tires, steering, turns, boost and more. Choose a layout, save it, and swipe between faces without the screen changing size. PUBLISH A LAP TO APEX CLOUD Optional and free. Sign in with Apple and any completed lap becomes its own page on the web — your route, your traces, your sector and corner splits, your car and tune — and take its place on world leaderboards, per track, per class and per car. Nothing leaves your device until you publish it, and the whole cloud can be switched off in one tap. EVERY OFFICIAL TRACK, BUILT IN All 85 official races ship pre-loaded, each with its real route already drawn on the world map — discipline, length and lap count included — before you've driven a single one. Drive an event and your attempts attach to the right track automatically; improvise a route of your own and it's logged as a custom track. A RACE LOG THAT REMEMBERS EVERY LAP Every attempt is recorded: lap times, sectors, corners, top speed, and whether you crossed the finish line or bailed. The log is car-aware — the same track in different cars keeps separate records and per-car bests. Drill down from a track to a race to a single corner and see where the time went. SEE WHERE YOU LOSE TIME The Track Map traces your route and colors it by speed — or by time gained and lost against your best lap — so you can see which corner is costing you. Circuits and point-to-point street races alike. REPLAY ANY LAP. RACE YOUR GHOSTS. Play back any lap as an animated replay over the map — or run two attempts as a time-synced ghost race with a timing tower and ticking sector splits, then export the battle as a video clip. EVERY INPUT ON ONE SCOPE A scrolling oscilloscope plots throttle, brake, RPM, speed, steering and slip together — the inputs behind every mistake. TIRES, GRIP & DRIVETRAIN Per-corner tire temperatures, slip ratio and angle, suspension travel, drivetrain layout and axle grip use — the full picture of what your car is doing. RACE-READY TOUCHES - The screen stays awake while telemetry is streaming, and sleeps normally in menus. - Haptics fire when you enter the shift window or break traction. MPH or KM·H throughout. TRY IT WITHOUT A CONSOLE A built-in demo mode drives a car around a circuit, so the whole app is alive before you connect. HOW TO CONNECT In Forza Horizon, open Settings ▸ HUD and Gameplay ▸ Data Out, set the IP address and port shown on the Connection screen, and start driving. Telemetry flows only while you're on track.

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Apex Copilot at none against Rover's 1. Apex Copilot also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 2 weeks). Rover's advantage is iOS requirement (11.0 vs 17.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
