Track Recorder(Torque OBD/Car)

Ian Hawkins

About this app

This is a plugin for the 'Torque' android app that allows you to overlay a video with your car OBD2 data. Perfect to see how you were driving!

Some features are:

* Watch the video you made with OBD data (speed, turbo boost, rpm as well as other OBD sensors) GPS, Accelerometers overlaid on the video.

* Google Maps semi-transparent overlay so you can watch your position on a map as well as the video at the same time.

* Can record in Hi-Def / HD or Low-def video (an option in the settings).

* USB Camera support - have up to 3 cameras active at once (or use both the front and back cameras on your phone if it supports both being used at once, and a USB camera too!)

* Even if you don't have an OBD2 module, the app can still record sensor information from GPS and the accelerometer on your phone

* Layout the recording dashboard how you want by press-and-holding on the screen.

* Video export to popular apps like YouTube or save them on your Google Drive

* Other uses include as a blackbox video recorder to record your daily drives with looping video recording, at the track/raceway to help improve your skills, or as a recorder to help combat incorrect speeding tickets

More sensors and gauges will be added in the next few releases!.

Ratings and reviews

Looks great And I'm sure it works beautifully for others, but I can't for the life of me get it to actually record. I hit record and I acknowledge the caution notice affirmatively but it does not record and continues to say "not recording" I feel like I've exhausted every option in the small settings menu and still nothing. 5*s if I could get the recording working.

Apparently the app still works with older model phones (it works on my old Samsung S3 but not my A11 or S21) but is not compatible with newer models of phone. From the comments it looks like sometime in 2018 when new phones came out it was not supported by newer models. I'm still using the Torque app for engine monitoring and love it but I searching for an app to record video front and rear from my phone. Hope this helps people.

This is an amazing app if you're looking to correlate vehicle PIDs with audio and video of a drive for troubleshooting, or even as a simple dashcam with a couple of widgets. I considered knocking off a star due to the glitchiness some widgets have with certain PIDs and the fact that gps-based lap time support isn't available compared to other apps. Then again, lap times can be pretty accurately estimated by correlating the video time stamp with the frame where the lap starts and ends. Overall, there's great stuff here that only needs a bit of fine tuning for a perfect 5.
