As an app developer myself, I understand how important is for independent developers to receive feedback on the app they poured their heart and soul to design, develop and maintain. So here’s a shout out for a job well done!I’ve been using your app for few years now for autocross only events. I average around 30 events per year, which probably puts me in the addicted category. I find the app an invaluable resource when I’m out at an event, as well as after the event. I use it to split the course in multiple sections, then analyze whether different approaches in a particular section work better than others.After the event with my friends and competitors we combine our data to see how each of us drove. One idea would be to come up with an online service that lets us share an event’s map, then have everyone signed up for that event upload their data there. This way we can look up in real time at other people’s data. I know this is a lot more work for you, but it could be a potential recurring revenue stream after you sold the app.One complaint I do have is that for the life of me I cannot figure out how to have the video camera start recording automatically when I’m at the start line, and turn off automatically few seconds (perhaps configurable in the settings) after I pass the finish line. The online FAQ is not very clear on how the video recording is supposed to work. At the moment I’m not using the video recording part of the app, which is really a shame since this would be extremely useful to have.
Developer Response
Thank you for the solid feedback! The video recording is turned on and off manually. I understand it has to be running for a while, just to get the one minute run in autocross, so admittedly it may not be well suited for your use case.
Fantastic product

This is the only track data analysis tool I use and I don’t need any others. I use it with my Go Pro Hero 9 and it gives me just about everything I need. Video synced up with track map and speed graphs, sector and lap comparison with your best laps, top/min/avg speed, nice visual overlaysMy only gripes are that I wish it had the ability to control playback speed so I could watch comparisons closer, and video compression. Since this is only for iPhone/Tablet you’re more space limited and GoPro files are huge, so if I could in app compress them it would help a lot.
Hands down winner

This is my firs time reviewing an app, that’s how extremely satisfied I am with RC Pro. I’ve tried Harry’s Lap Timer and Track Addict. RC Pro has the best and most simplest and reliable functionality but my favorite feature is the analysis tools. Harry’s and Track Addict can’t hold a candle to RC Pro! There’s lots of data available, it’s simple to interpret and consume and an invaluable post race tool that has undoubtedly left me a better racer and faster driver.
RaceChronon is my preferred datalogger on IOS
Mmmmmmmeeeeeeeeee!?
My viewpoint is coming from some who is a cone dodger, not a track person, but I think if anything the app will work better for track usage. My 3 suggestions to go from a 4 start to 5 star app would be:1) let me install the iPad version on my Mac so that I can review data on my much larger external monitor. 2) allow me to play back the run in slow motion (1/2 speed, or 1/4 speed for example). Inputs in AutoX are so fast that I’m always trying to pan through the run in slow motion to digest the elements and what the car is doing. Can’t do it in real time. 3) this may not be an iPad problem but at least on my phone the map by default is too zoomed out. I know autoX courses are smaller than tracks but the map by default is too far zoomed out on my phone to even see where in the run I’m looking at. I always need to zoom all the way in before I can look at any data, otherwise I have no context for where in the run I am.
- Fixed: OBD-II and data logger data not always recorded
- Fixed: Stability issues
