Apex Drive Tracker
Read full descriptionHide full description
Apex records how you drive, and now it lets you show somebody. Start it before you pull away and put the phone down. Apex captures the route, the speed, the elevation and the way you actually drove - then turns it into something worth looking at afterwards. THE DRIVE, AFTERWARDS Every drive gets its own map, with the moments marked on it: where you were hardest on the brakes, where you carried the most speed, where the corner actually loaded up. Tap any of them to see what happened. Alongside it: distance, moving time, average and top speed, elevation gained, corner count and a twist index that tells you how much of a road it really was. FLOW SCORE One number out of 100 for how smoothly you drove - built from braking, throttle and cornering, not from how fast you went. It rewards a clean line and steady inputs, which means a careful drive down a good road scores better than a ragged one. Apex shows you exactly which moments cost you points. YOUR FRIENDS, YOUR FEED Pick a nickname, find the people you drive with, and their runs turn up in your feed with the route, the numbers and a photo of the car. Like them. Argue in the comments. A weekly leaderboard ranks everyone who follows you back, and an all-time one settles the longer argument. Nothing is public by accident. Every drive is saved with an audience you choose - only me, followers, or everyone - and it starts from your own default, not from whatever you picked last time. Your profile is private until you make it public. Anyone can be reported or blocked from anywhere they appear. SHARE CARDS The part people actually use. Your route drawn over a photo of your car, with the numbers laid on top - five styles, three formats, sized for stories or posts. It takes about ten seconds and it looks like you spent longer. ROADS Save a stretch of road you like. Every time you drive it, Apex matches the drive to it and shows you where this run sat against your others. YOUR GARAGE Add your cars with the specs that matter. Each drive is attributed to one, so you can see how the weekend car and the daily actually compare - and so can anyone looking at your profile. PRIVACY, PLAINLY No advertising. No analytics. No trackers. No third-party SDKs of any kind. Nothing you record is sold, and none of it is shown to anyone you did not choose to show it to. Export everything as one file whenever you like, and delete your account from inside the app in two taps - immediately, with no email to write. APEX PRO Recording is never limited, and never will be. Free gives you your last 15 drives, three of the five share styles, and one car. Pro adds your full history, the performance panel, saved roads, all five styles, a garage with as many cars as you own, and data export. Monthly or annual, and the annual plan starts with a 7-day free trial. A NOTE ON DRIVING Apex records what you did. It doesn't suggest, encourage or reward driving faster. Start the recording before you set off, don't touch the phone while you're moving, and keep it for the road you're actually on.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Apex Drive Tracker at none against Clearway's shown. Apex Drive Tracker also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 9 days). Clearway's advantage is iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
