APEX Pro (Legacy)

On top of making a change that caused the app to crash on launch until I completely deleted and reinstalled it, I’m very disappointed that Apex Pro has decided to go the way of GoPro and require an online account in order for the app to connect to their hardware. This has rendered a device that I’ve happily been using for the last few years effectively unusable. I see no good reason whatsoever for this new requirement: I’ve never used any of the “Crew View” features and never intend to. While I’m here, I will also say that the new UI looks like it was drawn by a four-year-old. A matter of personal preference, I suppose, but I found the old UI to be much cleaner and professional-looking.

My friend who is a PCA Club racer recommended the Apex Pro. It is an amazing tool for getting to be a better driver and getting the most out of your track day. My first time using it was when taking my E-36 M3 out for the first time after getting major suspension upgrades done. With the Apex Pro, I was able to know where the cars traction limits were and use the available grip consistently. It really helped me explore the performance upgrades.

Sometimes when I use the Apex Pro I feel like I’ve tapped into a secret part of my brain that allows me to be a better, more confident driver for HPDE. The app is stupid simple. Seriously, it’s crazy intuitive. Apex Pro app is also very responsive! More responsive than when your significant other sees a text message pop up from your ex on your phone. You broke my heart Rebecca! In all seriousness, the app and technology behind the Apex is insanely cool and such a value add for your track days. The fact that you can now overlay video to the data is wild! Great app - and product!
