Latest reviews of RaceSplitter — Race Timer app for iPhone and iPad
I love this app. As a parent and sometime coach of Nordic skiers, we are always on the side of the trail trying to either write down or remember splits. It is great that I can input a race order before the race and then be able to get times/splits easily on the race trail. It is easy to use, the developers are responsive (I sent an email and less than 2 hours later, I got a reply), and although expensive for an iPhone app it is cheap compared to most race programs.
I have searched for applications like this for taking splits during races and most are either difficult to use or expensive. This application worked very well on my first attempt. Pros: Prior to the race: - The program walks you through setting up your race. - The application can take a start list submitted in a comma delimited format so you do not need to type in the entire start list. - If you need to make changes or create your own start list, it is an easy process. - The program supports 3 types of races to fit your need (mass start, interval start, wave start). During the race: - Entering bib numbers as they pass you is pretty simple (It definately beats out the sheet of paper and math on the fly). The less time I have to deal with calculating splits the more advice I can give athletes while they race. Very nice! - While entering bib numbers you can easily scroll through the split list to see who stands where. After the race: - You can scroll through the results and splits just like before - You can send results to an email account as a .csv file Cons: Prior to the race: - There is only one format for entering a compiled start list (by someone else). It is very limited and if you are not very computer savvy, it could be very difficult to translate a start list into the format necessary for RaceSplitter. During the race: - Last minute changes made to the start lists by the race officials can make things difficult. For example, if a bib is added on to the end of the start list, you will not be able to give that athlete a time as they do not have an entry in the RaceSplitter start list. So if a bib comes by you that is not in your list, there is no way to take a split for that kid. - If you miss an athlete, there is no way to put in a placeholder (blank) spot so that you can calculate it later when you find out who it was you missed. After the race: - Nothing really that I can tell so far. Overall, I give this application a 5 star rating as it is the first version, its easy to use, and it does more than expensive split applications do.
Just used racesplitter at our recent nordic skiing state meet- it worked great! Only tricky part is building the race but the folks at NENSA have been great at posting the files to download.
Used the RaceBuilder function on the developer website. It makes it very easy to build a race, esp. if you have already created a csv file from a spreadsheet. I also like the database of skiers, since we race against the same high schools all season. Cant wait for the iPad version. We will do all our race timing from this app once that appears, since we will be able to print results on the course.
I installed it 5 min before Ungdommens Holmenkollrenn and was able to download and coach all the racers if i had wanted. Amazing
