Ratings and reviews

I've been using a 22 year old laptop for my lap counter/timer and knew that the day would come when it would stop working. So I thought about my old phone and found this app which solves my problem for now. I especially like the voice part of this Pro version as the experience feels like an actual slot car qualifying session. You see, I used to enter races several times a week during the 70's and 80's. The only difficult part was in setting the sensors. The YouTube video helped out bunches

it took a little experimenting to sort the sensors as my nexus 4 was pretty low (~1) range and my nokia 7 was overly sensible (~25) but both are working fine with all my cars after some testing... really good app... also bought your diary addons as thank u

Very poor instructions & the You Tube Videos are not much better. Maybe if I spoke SPANISH. E-Mailed Author for better Instructions and got Crickets. This App is NOT very intuative. After WAY too many attempts the App did not work properly once.
