I have the app. I love it actually. Is there a way to sync it through the icloud? Lets say i create a hotspot from my main phone for my other one. That way i can transfer data. If it saves to my racerone account it should load onto another phone when i log in right?

Awesome.

Yeah, you could use a hotspot to sync your data. Initially when you install the app, you'll need to allow it to connect to the internet (via your hotspot) as it will need to download track information. Then you can record your session. Connect to your hotspot again to allow it to sync. Any unsynced sessions will appear in your Notifications tab, so you wont lose any. It will likely download new track information at this point if there is any as well.

EDIT: What you could do is leave your hotspot constantly running while you're out riding for the day, then when your other phone comes in range of your hotspot, you can finish your session and sync like normal. If nothing is connected to the hotspot, it shouldn't drain much of your phone battery. I often leave my hotspot enabled by mistake

Any more thoughts on an Android version?

Will this work for desert loop riding? I typically do 2 laps of a 30min loop, I saw in the app store that it drops the first and last lap because they aren't complete. So if I'm only doing 2 laps will it not register them?

Downloaded the app to my I6+ and iwatch S2. Went out to Milestone here in Southern California. I was a bit bummed I had to ride around the track with my iphone strapped to my barpad first. Would be nicer if i could just set the track up using just my watch. I had a hard time setting up the finish line. I couldnt move it on my iphone. It would only sync to my current location which I ended up doing by standing next to the landing of the finish line trable. A little sketchy. I got the track staff to let me go out and map the track when the track was closed for watering. That was way better putting around in 1st gear than going full tilt with my i6 at risk of being jettisoned. The GPS laid out a nice track too since i was going so slow. 1st moto out with just the iwatch i was able to get it to initialize on the watch as rhe track was set, but i didnt get any lap times and the total time was cut short by like 4 minutes. Im guessing the finish line placement was the reason for no lap times, but not sure why the total on track time was cut short. 3rd moto out I tried it again. I was on track for 14", but it only recorded 7:35 total. It did show lap times though so I was pretty stoked since i went 2 secs a lap faster than my best laps racing there at the TransWorld race last weekend. Was also a good comparison as TWMXR uses transponders for lap times. The gps tracks dont look so accurate, but it doesnt really matter if youre just looking for lap times which are based on when you pass the finish pin anyway! Awesome stuff! Would like to know how to relocate that finish pin to get more reliable function.
