Default AiM iPhone App?

I got a kick out of this sentence printed in the Solo 2 DL user guide (1.01): "An app for the iPhone is coming! In a few weeks you will be able to...."

I was just at the very good seminar with Matt and Roger, and maybe this was was covered while I was focused on something unrelated . I assume "a few weeks" means something like 20-30 weeks, but was surprised to see it in print, in a manual that was probably run several months ago. Anyone know anything more?

Yes, the manual was written January of 2018, so seventy to ninety weeks is a fair guess...

Seriously, the old app engineer took off and a new one was in place as of last December. They're working concurrently on an Apple OS app as well as the basic iOS app, but I would expect to see the iOS app sometime this year.

Plenty of other loggers have GREAT iOS apps, like the Apex Pro and the RacePak CL1/CL2 combo, as well as VBOX Circuit Tools 2, available in iOS and native Apple OS application.

A lot of people don't want to tote a laptop to the track...

We did

Their are 2 guys working on this in Italy. They had a great developer previously and his shoes are not easy to fill, but the new people are doing well.

No.



I’d rather have synced video within the data window than a “lite” iOS app, but that’s just as far out, I’m sure.

It's a different group doing each. I haven't heard on the app, but the development of RS3A has been moving quick.

Actually, I just found out progress IS being made...

No timetable, however.

I don't know the internal workings over at AIM, but it seems they try to do too much, with too little. And it is extremely frustrating to be one of their customers, dealing with so many software issues.

Even more frustrating as a longtime dealer...

Not to make excuses, but they have had tremendous growth in the last few years. With that growth has been some challenges, but it's not for lack of effort. They have been adding people and working on the issues people have.

Can it be frustrating? Sure. Are they working on it? Yes.

They’re working on things all the time. The Dallara project threw a big wrench in things, plus the Audi RS3 and BMW GT4 series. Just a lot of things going on.

Wouldn't be a problem if they didn’t create the expectation and just announced the feature or product when they’re done.

One thing they have not sacrificed as they attended to the big race series has been service. Every time I’ve needed help, or something fixed, it gets done quickly. Hard for me to find fault with AIM’s customer service. I may bitch about the slow pace of video integration, but all in all I’m a happy customer.

It’s gotten to point for me where a session without data is a waste of rubber and fuel.
