| 2025-01-19 | Tried with Scalextric. Motion trax mode works well and consistently detects cars. Colour trax mode is too inconsistent. I find it misses cars at high speed and is basically unusable | ||

| 2024-12-24 | Can only add one racer for motion. Very seldom does color Trax even work. If you only need lap time for one racer, then this is the app for you. This was used for HO slot car track. | ||

| 2024-11-24 | Does exactly what I hoped it would. Pretty accurate on picking up the motion on a high speed pass. Some decent sound effects and extras thrown in. | ||

| 2024-08-24 | Ty for making app, it's fun to use. Sometimes camera stops working even after clearing cache and data and have to restart phone. It free and works well when it does so can not really complain!! | ||

| 2024-06-05 | Seems like a good lap for certain kinds of racing like slot cars. I've been trying to use it for short-course racing trucks on a dirt oval. Motion detection mode doesn't have a great range, you have to risk hitting the camera in order to get it to recognize a lap. Also, I couldn't get the Colortrax function to work. My truck is blue on the front half that fades to black at the rear half. When attempting to pick either color it keeps stating that the color is part of the background. | ||

| 2024-02-25 | Great for what it does and quite reliable. Just needs some UI work and some additional features and it will be 5 stars easily. A speed trap for example could be awesome. Otherwise great app, my friends and I have been using it for our slot car racing and it is epic! | ||

| 2024-01-26 | I use lapTrax for my personal r/c race circuit. It is a good way to keep informed of lap times as well as lap counter. It will ring bells on the last lap if you set a number of laps to attain. That I find very nice , and you can run multiple cars if they are different colors from each other. You can also have it take action shots while you race by the Finnish line. I am working on a better setup for holding devices so I get better results with multiple cars . It's a really good start for price | ||

| 2024-01-20 | Everything is easy to set up, even without instructions, except when selecting Motion Mode, unless I’m wrong, seems like only used for one car. I don’t know how to add second racer, and select the 2nd racer’s camera exposure. | ||

| 2024-01-01 | Pretty good but not intuitive to use. Has some trouble telling the different colors apart (Google pixel 3a xl). The summary of lap times is nice. Wish it had a timed race mode (maybe it does and I don't know how to use it). | ||
