Hello,

I'm french and I developped a free Android application dedicated to your Kart usage. I already had french forum advices but I want to know if you have suggestions, translation issues, bugs, etc. in order to enhance the application.

Karting Tools Lite features :
- stopwatch with lap history (no screen lock)
- flags
- local weather and Rotax jetting (pro version beta)
- maximum speed
- average speed
- speed in Km/h or Mph
- multilingual (english/french)
- vertical or horizontal display

Karting Tools Pro features (soon) :
- stopwatch up to 4 drivers simultaneously, driver name, results export
- kart/driver settings recording
- track weather
- track database

Application page : https://market.android.com/details?id=com.fabreax.android.kartingtools.activity

Thank you.

Hi Fabien,

I'm Inigo Sans, our company has developed the application Jetting Max Kart, a Rotax jetting application for Android devices. Though we could be your "competitor" in jetting functionallity, we're very happy that more karting applications are published in the Market.

I've just installed your application and I'd like to send you a suggestion:
In the oil/gas ratio calculator, you should allow to introduce decimal numbers. Added to this, I think the calculation is wrong. When people say 5% it means 5 cm3 for 100cm3 of mixed gas, not 5 cm3 of oil for 100 cm3 of gas.

On the other hand, in the stopwatch section, it would be great being able to register splits besides laps.

Regarding the icon, I think you should improve it, you don't associate your icon to karting.

At last, if you want me to translate your application to Spanish, please contact me.

Best regards.

Hello Inigo,

Thank you very much for your advices and precision.

The main goal of "Karting Tools" is not jetting so I think "Jetting Max Kart" is not a competitor and very much more dedicated to jetting.

Do you want to add another Karting Android application in the future ?

Do you know other useful functions in the pits ?

I like the stop watch the best. How about multiple kart timing, at least 2 and preferably 4 karts. Nice program.
