Any *good* experience with Track Precision app?

What I'd like to do is to use Track Precision App only for data capture (no video) + external GPS + Gopro, and generate video with Racerender or Dashware.
There's is a lot of datas recorded with Precision App and it's easy to export.
Does anyone has tried this combo ?

I played around with this and it seem like it'll work just fine, because the Porsche app can export data in a variety of useful formats. However, the app is so unreliable that's it's not workable.

Yes! Along with calling Porsche, this is the best way to make a change. In most companies, a poor score on the Google and Apple is something that gets noticed by management.

Maybe a stupid question and OT. I have ordered Sport Chrono and the Track Precision App to the car that arrives this spring, can you do overlay from the app into a GoPro movie?

Yes. Just go into iTunes and download the appropriate video files, then import into your GoPro files.

I am using the Porsche app as well. I have used it on 3 occasions, at the same track. It was a bit fussy to set up in the beginning, but it worked for me all 3 times. I first used my iPhone 6s+ and it was fine but the video was jittery due to the weight of the phone and the rubbish mount I used. I then switched to a latest-gen iPod Touch. I use the app video and have it set to use the car's GPS. In my latest session, I used a modified GoPro mount to remove most of the jitter from the video. The overlay is great but the data transfer rate is slow, so you can tell there's a slight delay between the data displayed and the video.
Twice the app would not register which track I was on (it kept prompting me to select track), the issue cleared with a typical power-off/power-on cycle of the iPod.
My friend had his GT4 at the track for the first time this weekend, he has the app/setup. I helped him enter the data and set up his device, but it didn't work at all for him. He used an iPhone 6s. I have no idea why it didn't work for him as I set it up identical to mine and mine worked perfectly. I will look into his setup at our next track event.
As far as deleted records, I have only ever lost 1 record and that was my own finger-trouble.
If I were to request changes/upgrades to the app, I would request a faster data transfer rate and the ability to record in a format that is easily shared on internet/social media.
I hope this info helps you.

Airplane mode with wifi is actually what is recommended by Porsche.

When I used my phone I think it was in airplane mode, perhaps that helped. I also recall manually stopping all other apps while I was using the track app. On my last track day I used the iPod Touch with only the track app active, worked great. I'll probably have to look at both those points on my friend's setup before he goes out again.

I wonder if that is a tech/bandwidth recommendation, or a liability one. If in airplane mode with WiFi enabled you could not make or take a call, which would of course be utterly inappropriate (understatement) on track.

I've always wanted to use the telephone Bluetooth setup on the track as an in-car communication device for a lead-and-follow.

While Aim Solo/Smartycam does not do brake pressure in OBD mode, you can use long accel as a good proxy until either AIM solves the issue or you get CAN hooked up.

I think it's just that getting a call interrupts the recording (just like with Harry's Lap Timer), so Airplane mode helps prevent that.

I have brake pressure on Aim solo with smartycam HD 2.0 on OBD11 in my 991 GT3? I use it after every track day to analyse my braking zones...
