Description
Harry's LapTimer is the advanced tool for car enthusiast. It records all types of sensor data provided by your iPhone/iPod/iPad (or external sensors), combines them, and makes them available to optimize your drive. Over time, you will get insights on your car and in your driving, not known before.
LapTimer offers more than 1300 predefined tracks world wide. With its assistants, it is extremely easy to setup - just click your track and drive. It fully automates your lap timing using GPS, and presents the results to all kinds of media.
You are not limited to track driving only. For example, you may define your home and working locations as a 'track', collect statistics on different ways chosen, and analyze / optimize the time used every day.
Want to show your drive to your friends? LapTimer Petrolhead and above generates beautiful in car video recordings with all kinds of data overlaid, ready to be presented - e.g. on youtube. Even without video, recorded data can be analyzed using purpose designed views, making it easy to analyze and improve your driving performance.
Using online racing, you can use LapTimer in competition. LapTimer offers a Hall of Fame, allows watching you and your friends on track - all in real time. Compare your sector times, braking / acceleration points, and learn from each other.
You can start with your plain iPhone in the beginning and add external GPS and OBD II sensors later, step by step, and as you need it. LapTimer itself comes in three different editions: LapTimer Rookie is the entry level with all you need for lap timing; LapTimer Petrolhead is the advanced version including lots of video features, and LapTimer Grand Prix is the edition for professionals including Multi Cam recording, Health Kit integration, and advanced sensor and analytics functionality.
Please note that functionality depends on your device, the LapTimer edition chosen, and sometimes even external sensors added (like OBD II). Please visit our web page to get the full story. All edition can be upgraded later, all editions come with native iPhone and iPad support.
There are quite expensive stand alone solutions for track days available. Be smart and own the leading edge tool simply by using your iPhone and LapTimer. Besides the professional area, there is no known solution that offers more functionality than LapTimer does - across the market. As our ambition is to offer the best tool, LapTimer is enhanced continuously.

racebuck,
Quit giving me times.
I loved it for the last 5 years but it quit registering. Never started going past start finish. No time.
Passanya,
Terrible interface. It won’t work when you need it
Cons:
- laps/race don’t start automatically. Nor is it obvious how to turn the race on. You have to go to the Race section, set up a driver, then the car, and then figure that the app will be waiting until you drive off. Extremely unintuitive.
- finding your results is impossible. You have to go to the Analysis -> Lap Times, and locate a green dop next to the time (which indicates it’s you 🤦🏼♂️)
- it gets worse, each time you go out for a new session, the Race needs to be manually triggered by setting the previous run as reference.
- but what is the worst is the deception that a new session is recoding and working. You think you have triggered a new session and have put your phone away. Only to return to the pit to realize that app has silently produced some hidden alerts after you’ve triggered the new session and put the phone away! IMO this defeats the whole purpose.
Pros:
- when it does work the stats are well presented
In summary, out of 5 sessions, I was only able to record 1. Terrible. Save your money.

Totally confused @98765,
Absolute garbage
I downloaded this app last year for a DE weekend. At the time, I found it very user in friendly and annoying, but at least it saved my videos and times. Yesterday I used it again for the second time: it froze in the middle of data transfer to my phone, crashed, and then proceeded to delete an entire day worth of lap videos. And then it did it to me again today. RIP video of COTA PR time. Harold and his developers should be ashamed to be selling this app. It is absolute rubbish.
lapped_u,
Great app. Here's how to use it.
I managed to figure out how to use the app in 5 minutes of playing with it. Easy instructions:
Calibration happens automatically. If you want you can force it to calibrate manually by hitting the wrench in the "Acceleration" page, but it's generally unnecessary.
To get automatic lap timing working:
1) Create your car and track at some point by hitting the wrench in the "Classic" or "Racer's" page. Select your car/track.
2) When you get to the starting grid for the first time on that track, hit the "More" page, then "POI List", then "+". This sets your current location as the start/finish line.
3) Hit Go on the "Classic" or "Racer's" page and start lapping!
4 stars only because Harry should be writing these instructions and not me. This app has far more features than any of the other track day apps out there; they're just harder to get to.

Jakuta,
Great App!!!
I've used this software on my Palm for a couple of years and now it's finally available for iPhone. It's missing some of the Palm features, but I'm confident they will come. This developer has always responded quickly to concerns and problems. I have not seen any other software in the App Store that does what LapTimer does. This is by far the best software for road racers on this platform. Thanks for bringing this software to iPhone!
Tenthumbd,
Very accurate
I spent three days at High Plains Raceway testing various laptiming software. Hands down this app wins. I used a Tom Tom mount and amazed everyone with the accuracy. My lap times on this app were within 1/100s of the transponder times! The ability to use NMEA data must have been key. I use the timer view to improve my times; the diff to ref lap is a very useful and advanced function. With this functionality one knows exactly how effective a new line was, immediately. The UI could do with some work because the font on the diff is too small. Use the iPhone accessibility menu to invert the colors for more contrast. This app works better than some dedicated loggers. Keep up the good work!
Zenbob1,
Great for DE track days
A friend at the track was using it, so I bought it on the spot and used it all day. A little tricky to setup a track the first time (if its not in the database). However, once the stop/start position was set and some interim "sector" points made, the app just worked great. Its really nice to be able to start it in the pits and stop it when lapping ends. I can't comment on accuracy, but the speeds shown are less than indicated on my speedo by 3-5 MPH, but its a BMW which are infamous for exagerating speed.
I haven't seen any information on if the iPhone 4 has better or more accurate GPS, but LapTimer is working on mine. My friend at the track was able to send me his Portland International Raceway map from his iPhone 3GS, but the waypoints were all bunched together in the wrong spot on my phone. Easily fixed by dragging them to the proper positions.
As with any app that uses GPS and sensors, the battery will go fast. Use a power source in the car.
Bottom line for me, this app is highly recommended for recording your lap times for HPDE days.

Great Data Logger
This is a great application to use for track day data gathering. I've been able to use it to shave time off my laps, and to help diagnose problems I've had with my car.
For the most accurate results, you cannot rely on the internal GPS. The TomTom mount is quite good. There are others listed on the Lap Timer web site which also work quite well according to the author. I haven't tried them, but I have no reason to doubt. I've actually ordered one of them since my TomTom mount isn't working, but haven't tried it yet.
Finally, if you ever have any questions about using the application, or even enhancement ideas, the author is very responsive. I've always had an answer within a day, and in one case where a new track configuration was being introduced, he was up early in the morning getting the new config set and ready to use. There's even a forum specifically for the application.
Harry, keep up the great work.

The Stig Again,
Useless without instructions
This MAY be a powerful app, but it is difficult to tell because there are no instructions on how to use it. The website shows some neat screenshots, but I have no idea how they were achieved. While I do get some instant data I can't figure out how to get the track mapping and lap timing shown on the website. The stilted English doesn't help. I tried using it in my racecar once and only got wrong data. I know my MG Midget doesn't go 212 MPH as much as might want it to! I also could not figure out how to keep it running for any meaningful length of time, as another review noted. And why must I agree to the license EVERY TIME I launch the app? I wish I could either get my 4.99 back or get some instructions that might unlock all the secrets that are hiding in this app.
Tekyguy,
Loaded with features
This app is great for the track day enthusiast. The ability to easily set up intermediate triggers using google maps is fantastic!! Once you know what you are doing with the app you will fall in love with it. The PDF and google earth track map exports are awesome and allow you to share your hot laps with anyone! I'm looking toward to more timing views. It would be great to have a view showing the gps reference gap, current time and best time in huge numbers on the screen. Keep up the good work Harald!
