Track racer Giovanni Rey made two very good apps for the track racing crowd. These are actually track racing specific apps. They are both $0.99 and worth much more. They haven't been updated in a while, but they still work just fine.


GearCalc

Simple fast and to the point... Calculate your gear, roll out, and speed or time over a fixed distance given cadence.

VeloTimeMachine

This is *really* good for coaches.

The First fully functional, high precision stop watch for the iPhone. Loaded with Track cycling specific features. Including automatic lap-by-lap analysis of speed and cadence, automatic instantaneous emaling of results, and much much more....

Writing by a Cat1/UCI-pro velodrome racer for velodrome racers, coaches, officials, and fans.

Features:

- High Precision stop watch with "no-look" full screen start/lap button.

- Calculates Speed and Cadence for every lap instantly

- Instantly posts results to the internet using automatic seamless integration with iPhone eMail and AddressBook

- Log file management for easily tracking results on the iPhone.

- Unique timing features for counting and estimating missed lap splits or click errors. Also the ability to arbitrarily time sub-laps without disturbing the lap count or lap splits.

- Searchable pre-made or custom event templates for common track events including 1km, 4km, Scratch race and other events on several different track. Including the ability to adjust calculations for odd length tracks and.or race distances.

- Optional Count-down-to-start beeper. 10 second then traditional 5,4,3,2,1 beeps.

- Multiple run-time views including views emphasizing splits formatted to be yelled out.


Overview:


Running the Timer


View of the Timer in run mode showing some of the options. (1) is classic view with speed and cadence analysis turned on. (2) is lap Call out mode where an extra easy to read field has been added that holds just the Second and Tenth of second portion of the last lap split. (3) is an example of the count down to start option. This 10 second animated countdown is accompanied by the traditional 5-beeps if sounds are enabled. Note that any portion of the the large green button may be used to start/lap the timer.


There is no Stop button, after ending the final lap Hit the “done” button. This automatically opens an email window addressed to the rider with an optional CC field. The log has been printed into the body of the message. The final time and event name are in the subject. It is editable, additional comments can be typed before sending.


All times are save in a searchable database. Saved files and be edited for rider name, velodrome/track-length, and missed or inaccurate lap times can be replaced with placeholder timestamps.
