In depth

ApexLap, in detail

How does ApexLap detect the start and finish line automatically?

ApexLap uses your iPhone’s location to detect the moment you cross the start line and times every lap automatically from there, with millisecond interpolation for accuracy.

You do not need to press a button at the start or finish of a lap. The app is built to be readable in full sun through a visor and usable with gloves, so it works during a track session without slowing you down.

What is included in the free version of ApexLap?

The free version includes automatic lap timing, more than 500 built-in circuits worldwide including karting tracks, and the ability to create your own start line for any track.

Sessions are organized per circuit, with laps sorted by best time, and your best lap and theoretical best calculated for each session. Your recorded laps, sessions and history stay accessible and are never locked behind a paywall.

What does “Apex Pro” add for data logging?
