EVERY DRIVE, MEASURED. TripMax turns your iPhone into a precision drive computer. Start a trip and it records your route, speed, acceleration and cornering, then hands you a clear breakdown of exactly how you drove. WHAT YOU GET - GPS speedometer with live speed, top speed and average speed in mph or km/h - Drive score: every trip rated on smoothness, braking and control - Real G-force, measured at 50 Hz with gravity mathematically removed, so readings stay accurate however your phone is mounted - 0-100 km/h and 0-60 mph times, detected automatically - Route maps: your drive drawn on a dark map, coloured by speed - Driving breakdown: braking events, hard acceleration, cornering, stops and turns - Trip history and monthly totals for distance, time and mileage - Leaderboards: rank by top speed, acceleration, distance or average speed, globally or in your country - Rivals: see how you compare with other drivers - Driver card with your handle, car and country, ready to share - Share cards: turn any trip into an image for stories and posts, or shoot a photo with your stats overlaid - Works offline: trips are saved on your device first, then sync to your account BUILT ON REAL SENSOR DATA TripMax fuses GPS with the accelerometer at 50 Hz to refine acceleration readings, and detects braking with a proper hysteresis state machine rather than crude thresholds. The numbers you see are engineered, not guessed. DRIVE RESPONSIBLY TripMax is a record-keeping tool, not an excuse to speed. Start it before you set off, keep your phone mounted and untouched, and always obey the speed limit and traffic law. No statistic is worth your safety or anyone else's. SUBSCRIPTION Drive tracking and the full stats suite require a TripMax subscription, available weekly, monthly or annually. Prices are shown in the app before you confirm. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the current period ends, and can be managed any time in your Apple Account settings.
