I got it to work. The video quality was very good (using iPhone 6+) and the playback on the phone was great. Exported under every format offered and could not get the video to play. Loaded the app on my iPad, opened the file, and the video wouldn't run on it either. Has anyone figured out how to transfer the video to any other device?
Complete waste of $1800.

Tried to use it on Laguna Seca on my Android phone this week and was a complete fail...
The connection via Wifi to the car works fine, it also found my external GPS receiver (though I also tried to use the vehicle GPS) but it would 4 out of 5 times not realize I'm actually near the track. Although I had Laguna Seca selected from the list of tracks it always said "Please select track". Only at one session it actually realized that I'm near the track and proceeded... I selected "Start" while waiting in the grid and it showed me the laptimer. But it didn't record anything.
I don't even want video (I use my GoPros for that) but I just wanted the data ... but just didn't recorded anything. Also crashed a couple of times.
I really hope they fix this with some updates, otherwise complete waste of money...

Dr. Joe, so essentially, trigger it the first lap then you can leave it cycle with the app?
I tried it with out the app and yes you have to trigger after every lap. I tried it with the app, I pressed start and nothing happened (didn't trigger the stalk, didn't know I had to). Couldn't get it to work so I gave up and used Harry's Lap Timer.

I won't be specing sports chrono in my RS. Sales for that option are going to plummet to zero unless Porsche gets in front of this debacle and fixes all the shortcomings of this app.

The app does the lap triggering just by GPS and the prerecorded track layout in the app. The only time you are supposed to trigger anything in the app is when you are on a track that is not known by the app... in that case you have to "record" the track layout and for that you have to mark the start/finish once I think.
Yup. Total garbage. I won't use it anymore.

(The above statement is just based on what I read/heard so far since in my test the app completely failed to work at all as described above)
