About this app

"Touch Racer" is software that turns any Android device into a racing wheel controller.

It lets you use your smartphone or tablet for steering a car when playing any Windows computer game. The phone and the computer connects each other automatically via Wi-Fi.

It supports any Windows game, which you can play with an ordinary racing wheel, because it completely emulates a real joystick.

To make it work you should also install computer software "Touch Racer" on your Windows (it's available on the website: www.touchracer.com).

*How to steer with a phone*

Your smartphone becomes a steering wheel, for turning the car you just need to turn the phone.

The phone also emulates car pedals. Accelerating and breaking are performed by thumbs. You should swipe over the screen controlling a level of accelerating with a right thumb and breaking with left one. A level of accelerating or breaking is shown on the screen by a colour bar.
This way you can easily choose any level of accelerating and breaking you want from 0% to 100%.

*Requirements for a computer*

Your computer must be on Windows and also support wi-fi or be connected to any wi-fi router by wires.

Ratings and reviews

Absoloutely phenomenal! I was searching for this type of thing. Other apps that I have used isn't even near this. Almost zero lag and no vibarations. I was concerned how the gas and brake control would be, but to my surprise this app has the best control for a sim. Great simple UI. You could use some ads in the main menu. I look forward to you!

Very very nice app. Although I have used apps like monect pc remote, i feel like this is what i have been waiting for, for years. I like the real time display of rotation sensitivity and the break and throttle slider on the pc monitor, it helps a lot with setup especially when I am tweaking the wheel setup in the game such as steering deadzone, sensitivity etc. I would give it 5 stars if it was possible to add some buttons. Otherwise, I like using this app.

The app is amazing. It is taken as steering wheel input by all the games. Connection is great too as when connected via same wi-fi, there is no delay. But I am facing a problem with calibration. When I reduce the max degrees of steering sensitivity (eg: 15°), the center shift towards the left. I have tried all sort of calibrations. Please look into it.
