Latest reviews of LapTracker - Auto Timer app for iPhone and iPad

Not perfect
I tried to use this to time slotcar races, but camera rearm times dont work and the sensors wont pick up movement a third of the time. Needs a little work, good potential.
LapTracker
... using this app to time a single lane slotcar track - works very well - very pleased - could maybe use a few sound options
Just perfect
I have been wondering around to find a way of tracking speeds lap times on my RC track. Hobby stores dont know about it yet. You guys have provided me with the perfect tool for this application. It works just great, and is well worth the price of the application, compared to spending over a thousand dollars in sophisticated equipment. I can do the same from my iPhone 6 now!. Great job guys. Keep up the good work.
Perfect for slot car racing
This app works great. Very easy to set up, and has good graphics. The only app suitable for slot racing timing.
Best APP ever
I cant even begin to describe how delighted I am with this app. I use it for timing a 1/32 slot car track. The simplicity of setting it up for four lanes was really nice. I used to have a very sophisticated optical timing system using dedicated lights and infrared sensors embedded in the track. I had to do all of the wiring and soldering to incorporate the proper resistors and diodes. Thats not to mention having to drill through the track and glue in the receptors. The end result was a finicky system that only read the car passing about 80% of the time. With this app and my iPad all I had to do was rig up a sturdy little platform for my iPad. The accuracy and consistency of reporting is astounding. Ive probably run over 500 laps over the course of a week and dont think Ive ever gotten a false signal. (Note: it doesnt work quite so well on my set up with an iPhone, but this has more to do with the limits of the screen image than it does with the app itself.). I even went so far as to buy a used iPad off of eBay simply to dedicate to my timing system. Having the voice feature allows me to concentrate on driving and just listen to the lap times a click off. I hope the developer continues to refine the app. Id pay 10x the current purchase price to have some additional features. For .99 cents this is just an incredible find.
