Unfortunately the app just plain doesn't work. It either starts way too delayed or keeps timing well after the parameters. Tried on multiple different Android devices.
Reviews for GPS Race Timer
← Back to GPS Race Timerthe app is a little off to my onboard zero to 60 timer and quarter mile timer. my 2015 Challenger does 0 to 60 in 5 seconds in the quarter mile in 13 .58 at 103 miles an hour. the app had me doing 0 to 60 in 6.1 seconds but the quarter mile in 12 seconds at 96miles an hour. but all in all it's still fun to use.
Never could get it to work. Other race timer type app worked fine though. Idk. Galaxy Note8. Edit: in response to developers response: yeah I left it on for like 20 minutes. Never worked. Other, similar app worked instantly though.
I have version 1.72 and a good GPS signal, and still experienced that it only timed my driving once. Pressing Reset didn't help. Current and max speed are working and seem to be accurate.
Nice app except that it doesn't work after the first start. I have to close the app and restart it to get it to work again. Reset function resets the timers, but the timers won't start once I start moving again.
It has everything you could ask for a free app! GPS strength, changeable settings, and low to no adds. I've used in multiple phones. App gives consistent results
on a galaxy s24 when I set a custom speed to 50kmph it doesn't work. sometimes when I first install the app it will correctly start monitoring but that's on 0-100 haven't had a run work for 0-50, it just doesn't start recording
Inconsistently working, no readings at all after reset. Have to completely shut the app down and kill it in running apps to get it to work again. Even then it was inconsistent. Had to do 5 or more runs to get it to work.
Exactly as described, setting the mph range is very simple and the timing is extremely accurate much more so than other GPS based timers on here most of which I have tried and are rubbish. This is a great accurate easy to use app.
No app that uses your phone's GPS is going to be accurate... But this one is terrible. Here is an example: good GPS signal, 9.0 second 0-60, and a 14.1 second 1/4 mile @81. In no world would a car ever have a pulled those numbers off together 9 seconds is slow and 14.1 is extremely fast. You're better off using a stop watch and a camera to record your 0-60 and marking out 1/4 mile on the road... Don't waste your time with this app or any other app that records your cars acceleration
So far so good just wondering how accurate. Guess I'll find out at the track then compare. I don't expect it to be drag strip accurate but I'm sure it's pretty close. "Telling myself this because my jeeps pretty fast until I get to the track" HA!!
I've had this installed for a while but finally gave it a try today. Wanted to test some different maps on my car and just can't take the data seriously. Was mainly trying to do 0-60 runs and found that by the time you safely slow down it's already too late to "save" the run. 0-60 times didn't seem accurate from run to run. My car definitely can't do 0-60 in 3 seconds flat. LOL Also would sometimes get an 1/8 mile time but no 0-60. I did like 10 runs total. Only 5 were saved. Im uninstalling.
GPS enables, uninstalled reinstalled everything, registered speed but not 1/4 mile or 0-60
This didn't work. I had a full GPS signal, the current & max speed were running ok, but the timer in 0 - 60 mode didn't work. Both readings (time & speed) stayed at zero. Ran the car up to 72 mph with the sound alert on. No readings, no sound through 60 mph. Tried it with both modes on (0 - 60 & quarter mile) and just 0 - 60 mode on. Pressing reset didn't seem to work and tried closing and reopening the app. Nothing. A waste of time & fuel.
shows current and max driven speed. cannot get it to give 0-60 times at all. no instructions. maybe someone knows how to make it work
Had to delete then reinstall on my Android. Working great now. Haven't verified accuracy yet but I think it's pretty close. It also has an audio option for finish line which allows you to keep focused on the road!
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.
worked once.. now it will not start timers no matter what I do.. GPS location and speed works fine but the timers do not start... Did you just try to explain to me how to drive a manual transmission car?? Essentially blaming the app not working on my inability to drive a manual..
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.
