If it were reliable it would be pretty decent tbh

It has native access to data sources that you'd have to pay for in other apps, or require additional hardware to capture.

I lost my fast session of the day, and only know the laptime but have none of the data to help me understand why.

Vbox tracks more data and provides side-by-side lap data and video analysis. For some, that is invaluable to making better improvements on the track.

The app is still really good tho, esp for $0.

Also, vbox can’t be more than 3 lbs or so.

For you, 'nothing', for a lot of others (me included) Porsche has yet to update the Android version and in the last 3 year I have yet to be able to offload a complete multi-lap session.

For intermittent track days I'd say not much; it's really pretty amazing that Porsche supply and maintain this app for free in my books. They just need to continue to make it more stable and reliable particularly around connectivity and data export, least in my limited experience.

Try this newest version next time. I think it is better.

You asked what was better about vbox, here is an example. I'm comparing three laps, two of mine and a fast friend's. It really excels as a serious tool for learning. But, it is a bit geeky and requires some level of technical enablement/comfort. Porsche uses vbox for their ring efforts, if you've noticed their official lap recordings are also done with vbox as well. It's also a required/standard system in GT Challenge now.

That's a really cool feature. I can see how that can be helpful.
