## Review summary

Users praise LapMonitor for its reliable hardware, ease of use, accurate lap timing, and good customer support. The app works well for RC racing and training but the Android version lacks several features available in iOS, such as saving laps, advanced race modes, and pause functionality. Bluetooth issues and limited race setup options are common complaints. Overall, it's a valuable and affordable tool for RC racing enthusiasts, but the app's feature gap and recent update bugs disappoint some Android users.
