TrackAddict Pro

Recently downloaded this app after hearing about all of the data it logs as well as being able to overlay telemetry onto videos. When trying to follow along with a guide to transfer data from the app to my Mac (IOS) over WiFi, it wouldn’t send to my computer but gave me the option to send to my phone, as the app recognized my computer and phone as places it could send the data. Well without having any idea that anything would occur, I tried to offload to data to my phone, but as soon as I clicked my phone as an option, the app crashed and when I went back into the app to try again, that entire sessions data file was gone. Just like that my PB session was erased and I’ve tried everything to recover the files to no success. The app is cool and looking at the data is fun, but that little bug cost me all the data for my best laps out, so if that could be taken care of or made simpler to transfer data to devices, the app would be near perfect for the price, but as it is currently, it’s pretty easy to lose your data files only to never be recovered. So if you’re reading this, my advice is to offload the data by plugging your phone into the computer and transferring all of the data files to the computer, don’t try to do the WiFi route, you may lose all your data that way. Will continue to use that app now knowing how to transfer things over via wired connection, but still, a fix for that or to be able to recover lost data would be nice.

I had the pleasure of using this app for rallycross today. I would highly recommend. Being able to map the track layout via GPS greatly helped my ability to memorize the turns via the Birds Eye view of the course. Additionally, being able to record every run and see where I messed up and where to improve helped tremendously. The kicker I wasn’t expecting is that this app also natively supports WiFi OBDII scanners, even ones that aren’t made by HP Tuners. I was so happy to discover I could plot OBDII data along with my track runs, and see some details about intake temps, coolant temps, RPM (no working tach lol). The data logging aspect is huge in its own right and I wasn’t expecting this feature. Highly recommend!

I bought the OBD2 BLE reader by Veepeak which is listed on the app’s website, but it did not work with the app. It would only try connecting for a moment then go by to searching for an OBD2 device. The same device worked on other apps though, like Harry’s. As a fellow software developer, check on that device again for compatibility. The OBDLink CX did work with this app though. Good thing I ordered multiple to test out. After getting that working, my first track day with this app went very well! I was impressed with the data recorded. My camera mounting position wasn’t that great, so I may invest in an external camera.
