Great app
nickfind
App is simple but well designed, other than the dark mode being completely unusable. Seems pretty accurate but I haven’t tested it against a v-box or anything of the sort.
Not quite there
KcubSamoht
It is missing the ability to show the times from the “lesser” test modes (get the 0-30 MPH time while already testing the 0-70 MPH). Tried to email the developer from within the app, and received an error that the email box was full. EDIT: Upped it to 3 stars since the developer responded quickly. Will up it again if updates make it into the app. Thanks!
Great App
Ed Neal
App is perfect for hands free timing for both time to speed and time to distance. Great way to do before and after tests on performance enhancements you make to your ride. Also i cannot say enough good things about the author. Dominik is very responsive to user input and is very willing to make changes to the app to meet user needs. Get this app, you will not regret it
Weak signal
Wandernfool
Seems like this app is just a way to sell his gps antenna, it says weak or no signal, and I have full signal strength, what a rip off, every other gps app on my phone works flawlessly, so I know it’s this app, it’s meant to scam money
Don’t waste your money or time
TeamGRacing
As another reviewer stated ALWAYS indicates no GPS and tries to sell you a tool to improve GPS reception. Tested this in my truck with GPS being used on my phone by another app and with on board NAV working. GPS working perfectly.
Don’t do it

I’ve never reviewed an app in the 10+ years I’ve had an iPhone but felt compelled to review this app. When attempting to record quarter mile times the app stopped timing after about 1 second for about 10 passes. When I waited after “Go” and very slowly accelerated, it captured a 25 second 1/4-mile. What’s the point in it if it doesn’t work when you fully accelerate with a fast vehicle? Save your $1.99 and buy a cheeseburger, it will give you a better idea of your vehicle’s performance than this app does...
Crashes immediately when you press start
Gaidzak
Tried everything to resolve the issue. I use a dual XGPS and didn’t detect the GPS receiver even though the website determined this app compatible with the receiver. Once I hit start the app immediately exits I’ll up the stars once I get it working and works satisfactorily.
