Tired of carrying a gear chart to the velodrome every day, or searching the web for one every time you change gears? Then you need a gear calculator on your iPhone and your Apple Watch. Built by track racers for track racers, the Track Gear Calculator supports chainrings from 44 to 70 teeth and cogs from 8 to 20 teeth. It includes a speed/cadence calculator, and can calculate the next gear up or down using only the gears in your track bag. Want a bigger gear or a smaller gear? Track Gear Calculator works in reverse, too: just swipe the gear inches, and you'll get a new gear, up or down from where you are, using only the chainrings and cogs you have with you. You can also select from the standard 27" nominal method for calculating gears, or more accurate actual wheel diameters, and you can see results in either Imperial gear inches or Metric development.
MTB Camera

Prop your phone, hit record, and ride. MTB Camera automatically keeps only the seconds where you or your bike are in frame — and throws away the dead footage. Every pass becomes its own clip, ready to review and save to Photos. You can also import an existing video and trim it the same way. Full camera controls (HD/4K, slow motion, lens zoom) and 100% on-device — nothing is ever uploaded.

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: MTB Camera at Free against Track Gear Calculator's $0.99. MTB Camera also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 months). Track Gear Calculator's advantage is chart position (#120 vs unranked) and iOS requirement (13.4 vs 17.0). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
