Like everyone else has said, it is completely useless. You enable the Bluetooth and location services, but it refuses to connect. This is not user error. This is simply a terrible app that should have been fixed years ago by the looks of it.

Works fine so long as the track is plugged in, dongle plugged in and car on the right track before starting the app. Has a life counter for crashes but haven't yet found a lap counter that works with it
