Harry's LapTimer Rookie

I downloaded this app last year for a DE weekend. At the time, I found it very user in friendly and annoying, but at least it saved my videos and times. Yesterday I used it again for the second time: it froze in the middle of data transfer to my phone, crashed, and then proceeded to delete an entire day worth of lap videos. And then it did it to me again today. RIP video of COTA PR time. Harold and his developers should be ashamed to be selling this app. It is absolute rubbish.

I loved it for the last 5 years but it quit registering. Never started going past start finish. No time.

Cons: - laps/race don’t start automatically. Nor is it obvious how to turn the race on. You have to go to the Race section, set up a driver, then the car, and then figure that the app will be waiting until you drive off. Extremely unintuitive. - finding your results is impossible. You have to go to the Analysis -> Lap Times, and locate a green dop next to the time (which indicates it’s you 🤦🏼‍♂️) - it gets worse, each time you go out for a new session, the Race needs to be manually triggered by setting the previous run as reference. - but what is the worst is the deception that a new session is recoding and working. You think you have triggered a new session and have put your phone away. Only to return to the pit to realize that app has silently produced some hidden alerts after you’ve triggered the new session and put the phone away! IMO this defeats the whole purpose. Pros: - when it does work the stats are well presented In summary, out of 5 sessions, I was only able to record 1. Terrible. Save your money.

Bought at the last minute for a track day. Might work ok in a car but certainly not on a motorcycle as this doesn't work from inside a pocket.

App seems to have a lot of functionality but it's not exactly plug n play. I can't fiddle with it while on the track so it gets frustrating when it's not working as expected.

No track listed in the load track view

I recently purchased this laptimer "rookie". I'm a novice racer, just looking to make improvements in my street car (mk5 gti) this is perfect for what I want. It tracks your lap times, as well as a track map to see your "g's" in the turns. It's a great app! The folks are great with support as well.

Worked great at a recent track day. Recorded lots of good data and times. Def worth it

I bought the rookie version. I used it for lap times. Works great! Will mount it properly in sept at vir and use some more of its features.

Great that I have been using since the good old PalmOS days. Runs fine on a 4(S), but needs external GPS on a 3S. Love the external gadgets: 5Hz GPS, OBD and camera feeds.
