VS Throws vs The Lap App

An app to measure Throws events

The Lap App is a lap-counting and race-tracking tool for multi-lap track races. It is designed for track officials, timers, coaches, and meet personnel who need to keep track of how many laps each runner has remaining. In a race such as a 10,000 meters, you may have 20 runners completing 25 laps, with runners eventually lapping one another. The Lap App helps keep that race organized. Runners are identified by their hip numbers. As runners pass, enter their numbers and The Lap App automatically tracks each runner's laps to go, lap times, finish order, and race time. FAST RACE ENTRY Choose the input method that works best for you: • Voice Recognition • External Bluetooth or wired numerical keypad • On-screen keypad Input methods can be used interchangeably during a race. With Voice Recognition, simply say the runner's hip number followed by “comma.” A close-talking wired microphone can be especially effective in noisy track environments. KEEP YOUR ATTENTION ON THE RACE The race display is designed to show the information you need while the race is happening. The Lap App tracks laps remaining for every runner and highlights important race information. Early in a race when the runners are still together, enter 0 to record the pack at once. Enter individual hip numbers as they separate from the pack. Dynamic Pack Tracking continues to track runners remaining in the pack, so transition is easy. VOICE AND BEEP FEEDBACK Choose: • Beep Feedback • Voice Feedback • Both Voice Feedback announces the runner's hip number and laps remaining. Connect to an external Bluetooth speaker and the announcements can also be heard by the runners. When the first runner reaches one lap to go, The Lap App sounds the bell before announcing the final lap. Continuous Voice Recognition can remain active while earlier voice feedback is still playing. LAP TIMES AND RACE RESULTS The Lap Times screen records the lap-time history for every runner. This provides a useful audit trail if you need to investigate a missed or accidental extra entry. The App also records finishing order and race times. If an entry is made accidentally, a negative hip-number entry can be used to correct it. EXPORT Race results and lap data can be exported as a CSV file for saving or further processing. FREE AND PRO The free version is fully functional for races with up to 6 runners. There is no time limit. Lap App Pro unlocks unlimited runners. The free version gives you an opportunity to verify that The Lap App works with your equipment and race-day workflow before upgrading. The Lap App is intended for managing multi-runner track races. It is not designed as a personal workout lap counter.
