Default Porsche track app, anyone try since the update last month?

The notes say they’ve fixed the connection issues (basically what they are saying). Has anyone tried it to see if it’s reliable now?

I'll be running my car the weekend of the 6th and again the 13th... so that's the next opportunity for me to try it.

Best Regards,
Dave

Try again... I did not see any updates listed recently. However, I used the app a couple of weeks ago at Mid Ohio and it worked flawlessly. It is annoying that the database of tracks is so limited and you have to go through "recording" a new track to get started. But other than that I like it.

Agree really annoying more tracks are not loaded or no feature to upload a track , lime rock on of the older tracks in the country not listed makes no sense

Worked at 4 tracks (Bugatti, Monza, Mugello, Nordschleife) and both b2g and full lap on the ring without a hitch all this month.

No issues except having to restart PCM once early on and not really related but iPhone bumpy as hell at times.

What's up with the constant rhythmic signal popping noise? Is that from the app or from switching noise from something plugged into the phone? What phone were you using?

I also used it at Tremblant and it was flawless. I needed a second smartphone to make it work as I did not have a sim car installed in the car.

I also get that rhythmical popping sound when I export a video with the Track Precision overlay on my iPhone (it’s the same now on my iPhone X as it was before on a ln iPhone 6), and this wasn’t fixed with the latest upgrade. However if I access the video without the overlay through iTunes, the soundtrack is clean, so what I do is to export the video from the app and just swap the soundtrack with the clean one in iMovie.

2.4 is the version currently available for download on the App Store, so yes.

It certainly got rid of the 'too many wifi connections' problem that plagued me last time.

Got caught by an interesting feature though... if you get XX:XX instead of 00:00 when you start timing, go to settings and enable lap timing
