Porsche Track Precision

Good when it works, a mess if you have car play enabled.

not working on iOS 18, iPhone 16 pro. This is not Porsche quality

Have tried this app twice now at Chuckwalla and despite everything connecting and good GPS signal, it’ll never actually start a lap. Tracks my car around the track using GPS without issue, but seems like it doesn’t know where the start/finish line is so you’ll never get lap data. Multiple Porsches using the app had the same issue this weekend.

This app is great in theory, but it’s extremely unstable, bombs out constantly, loses my recordings, and fails to pair its video recordings with the data recordings. Hard to believe this was written by a German company known for attention to detail because the quality control here is just nonexistent. I just spent two track days using it — out of 10 sessions it bombed out halfway through once (3 laps out of 12 captured), didn’t start recording once, recorded video (which could be seen under “video footage”) but didn’t pair it with my laps, and the last session everything seemed to work fine but after I got home it was completely gone from the app. I guess the moral of the story is to buy Porsche for its cars, not its software.

I was able to use this app once prior to iOS 18 to record an Autocross track day after much trial and error. Waking the course and building the track prior to a run works. But when you start your run nothing is recorded, even though the app detects the start and finish line. I had to manually start the the recording after the starting line. Since the iOS 18 update the app is pretty much unusable, crashes often and does not record video and or detect the starting line and finish lines. The app has also stopped showing up on the screen when using CarPlay, I tested this and it work prior to iOS 18. This app has the potential to be great, but the lack of support and QA is holding it back.

Keep with the theme of Porsche not being able to do software Maddening to use. Controls do not make sense Worst, it becomes a major distraction trying to get it to work when your driving My 2 stars is me being generous

I have been trying to get this to work properly for about a month. I have Porsche dashcams installed on my ‘25 911 Turbo S, set as the video source, however the app always says the track time is too short to record. The dashcam automatically films in 1min segments and the app states videos must be at least 1 minute long and at least 1-mile long. The design of the Porsche dashcams renders the whole setup useless. Even though they are advertised to work together.

The lates software update made the app un usable on my 2018 GT3. WiFi connection drops, app freezes constantly.

It’s great to see that this app continues to evolve. It has a relatively great UI compared to others, and the car integration is data I love to have when it works. Unfortunately, there are still some issues: 1. Phone GPS is abysmal, and support for better external GPS (like RaceBox mini) is non-existent. Where do we even go to ask for it? 2. CarPlay support, while less important, it seems to require first-party CarPlay in the car which seems like just an annoying choice. It wasn’t available on my car, I didn’t choose to not option it. Now that I have added it … I can’t use it. 3. Analysis is lackluster, and data export options seem to be of limited use. Lastly, the app is over 200mb … seriously?

I upgraded my iOS from 16 to 17.2. Big mistake, as the Porsche Track Precision app doesn’t work because I can no longer give it location permission. Very frustrating.
