Your lap timer records every lap. Pushlapp turns them into insights, right on your iPhone and right at the track. No laptop, no signal needed. Connect to your AiM over WiFi or to your RaceBox over Bluetooth, download your sessions in seconds and see exactly where the time went. WORKS FULLY OFFLINE AT THE TRACK Tracks don't always have good reception, so Pushlapp does not need any. Download, analyze and replay without a single bar. Sign in once. At the track, everything works offline. FROM LAP TIMER TO INSIGHT IN SECONDS Join the WiFi of your AiM lap timer or dash (Solo 2, Solo 2 DL, MXL2, MXS and EVO5) or find your RaceBox (Mini S and Micro) over Bluetooth, pick a session and moments later it is on your phone. Your laps, sectors and lines are ready before your gloves are off. Sessions appear while the transfer is still running, and a second download only brings what is new. Start and stop a recording from the app, with the settings on your box. Laps are cut on the line your AiM lap timer or RaceBox timed on, so you see the times you know. No laps in a recording? Place your own start/finish line. REPLAY EVERY LAP Watch your line on the track map, with your speed and g-forces as you go. On a bike? Your lean angle is in there too. With a Solo 2 DL, MXL2, MXS or EVO5, throttle position and RPM come along. RACE YOUR GHOST Put a lap next to your best: a ghost rides the map with you and the live delta shows exactly where you gain and lose. With Apex you also race your theoretical best, built from your own fastest sectors, and any other lap. FILES FROM OTHER LAP TIMERS COME IN TOO An AiM .xrz, a RaceBox .vbo or .csv, a VBO export from RaceChrono Pro or Dragy, or the Starlane Full Session CSV from MAAT imports without any fuss: laps, sectors, replay, comparison and leaderboards. REFERENCE LAPS A faster racer's lap shows where the time is waiting. Receive laps from friends in the Paddock and watch them right away. With Apex you also import laps from a file, from any timer the app reads, and race every reference lap as a ghost. SEE WHO IS FASTEST AT YOUR TRACK Every track has its own leaderboard per vehicle class: motorcycles, cars and karts. Share your best lap and see where it stands. Everything stays private by default: only what you share counts. COACHING AFTER EVERY TRACK DAY At the end of the day, Coaching Insights tells you how much faster today had in it. Everyone sees that conclusion. With Apex you get the full analysis: where the time went, corner by corner, with numbers from your own laps. INTO THE PADDOCK Follow your friends, watch the laps they made public and compare your lap times with theirs. PUSHLAPP APEX For racers chasing the next second. Apex gives you the full Coaching Insights after every track day, your theoretical best as a target to chase, and automatic backup of every session file. And you compare with any lap: your own, a friend's, the leaderboard's or a reference lap. YOUR WHOLE SEASON, ORGANIZED Sessions are filed neatly by vehicle, track and track day. Motorcycles, cars and karts live in one garage. A note under every session keeps setup, feel and what to try next with the laps. BUILT FOR AIM AND RACEBOX Over WiFi: the AiM Solo 2, the Solo 2 DL, the MXL2 and MXS dashes and the EVO5. Over Bluetooth: the RaceBox Mini S and Micro. The original Solo and Solo DL have no WiFi. Thousands of tracks are built in, so your track is recognized automatically, and the track data updates itself, no app update needed. SUBSCRIPTION Much of the app is free, but Pushlapp Apex gets everything out of it. It is a subscription, monthly or yearly. It renews automatically unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the period ends. The price for your region is shown in the app. Cancel in your Apple ID settings.
