Review summary

Users praise the RaceBox Mini device for its accurate GPS lap timing and the app's ease of use compared to other devices. They appreciate features like quick data download, video overlay, and sector splits, as well as responsive developer support. However, the app suffers from stability issues like frequent crashes and automatic logouts, data syncing problems, and missing features such as auto-recording on movement and live telemetry. Track creation is cumbersome, and the UI can be confusing, especially for those wanting to record without preset tracks. Overall, the hardware excels but the app needs improvement.

Pros

Accurate and reliable RaceBox Mini hardware for GPS lap timing and data logging.
User-friendly app interface that is more intuitive compared to competitors like AIM devices.
Ability to download and analyze session data directly on the phone, facilitating quick review after sessions.
Helpful features like video overlay and sector split times that enhance session analysis.
Responsive and helpful developer support addressing user-reported bugs.

Cons

App stability issues including frequent crashes and unexpected logouts, reported across various devices like Samsung Galaxy S21 and S21 Ultra.
The app sometimes fails to sync or record session data correctly, leading to loss of recorded laps or sessions.
Lack of certain quality-of-life features such as auto-start recording on movement, live telemetry displays, firmware updates, GoPro control, and dark mode.
Difficulties with track creation and management, especially inability to freely start/stop recordings without a predefined track, which impacts users using the app for activities like mountain biking.
Limited offline functionality and confusing interface layout, leading to an unintuitive user experience for some users.

2024-12-18	Se*****	Video was a much needed improvement. Need to add the function that video starts recording on movement, then it would do everything I need.

2024-09-06	Ro*****	There's a lot of information but it's a bit of a confusing layout. I would like an auto-start when it detects movement and, or a single-touch start button in the form of a widget. For me, I leave mine in my car full time and want to have it to review after a "spirited" drive sometimes. It's a bit sad if I have forgotten to start recording.

2024-08-12	Ni*****	Absolutely amazing app to use! It works perfectly with the Racebox Mini S. Far more intuitive and easier to use compared to AIM devices. It's so nice to download the data after each session and review for a couple minutes in the pit instead of downloading everything with a computer every time. The new update is also much improved. Being able to see the sector splits for each lap is so helpful

2024-06-08	Ri*****	mini is a fantastic piece of kit. ultra accurate to a few inches even behind windscreen glass. custom tracks ahead of time is very limited with many failures on earlier app versions. of 4 sessions this app only recorded 1 with many power-saving defaults with no warnings. analysis is just a map and times. no colours for accel or decel or anything it's just a purple line. keeping the dongle and using racechrono pro. shame. i really wanted to hear this app speak, too. 5 star mini. 3 star software

2024-06-03	Ph*****	The racebox mini is a great gps lap timer and data logger for the money. The app is good and when I did spot a bug the developers were quick to respond and fix it.

2023-07-17	Ch*****	Crashes constantly. Waste of time this application. Going to be returning this, luckily I bought on Amazon Developers need to sort it out, Android is not their forte. I take it the iOS app is flawless.... I wish playstore had some sort of quality control.
