About this app

With GPS Race Timer you can measure the acceleration times of your vehicle.

The app supports drag races such as 1/4 mile races or speed-based races such as 60 - 120 mph and can measure up to two times per race.
The app is designed so that it does not have to be operated while driving, everything can be set up in standstill.
The measurements are then performed automatically.
You can save the race results locally on your phone for later access.
The predefined timer settings are: 60 ft, 1/8 mile, 1/4 mile, 1/2 mile, 1 mile, 0 - 60 mph, 0 - 120 mph, 50 - 75 mph, 60 - 120 mph, 0 - 100 km/h, 0 - 200 km/h, 80 - 120 km/h and 100 - 200 km/h, but you can also adjust these timers to your needs.

How to use the app:
Check the timer settings on the start screen. If they are okay, place your phone in your car so that it has good GPS reception and does not move too much, then you can start the acceleration test.
You can adjust the timer configuration in the settings screen. Then go back to the race screen and follow the instructions above.

The optional PRO version which can be purchased in the app comes with the following benefits:
1. Up to four timers in parallel (instead of two).
2. Accurate determination of altitude differences
3. Simulation of Sportsman Start and reaction time measurement
4. No ad banners anymore

Ratings and reviews

Nowhere in the app description does it mention that SAVED runs only display one timer. I'm testing my boat 0-30 & 30-45mph. The split time is just as important to me. It's on the live screen--it should be saved to the results. Another issue using this app on a boat: the app starts timing as soon as you move. In a car if you nudge at the line the timer starts. In a boat you're almost always moving... so the timer keeps starting as the wind blows you along at 1mph. There should be some tolerance.

This app has never worked correctly. I've tried it on three different Android devices, and gone through every troubleshooting solution available. In every case, it either fails to start, starts on its own, or simply gives a wildly inaccurate reading. Perhaps this is just a limitation of the gps abilities of smart phones.

0-60 times are wildly inaccurate. As other users said, it either fails to start or fails to stop in time. I know that my times are close to 3 seconds, but this app shows anywhere from 3 to 7 seconds each time differently for consistent driving. Useless.
