RaceSense Tyre Gauge
By Swimovate
RaceSense Tyre Gauge is a specialized motorsport utility app for iOS and Android that syncs pressure and temperature data from proprietary hardware.
The App DNA
What makes this app unique?
The app removes the manual recording friction and accuracy variance of standard gauges, providing the precision data required for competitive motorsport setups.
For Professional and amateur motorsport participants, including rally drivers, karting teams, and accident investigators.
What does it look like?
Key features
Transfers pressure and temperature readings from physical hardware to mobile devices, acting as a proprietary lock-in mechanism.
Automates data recording for 2 or 4 tyres without manual interaction, reducing trackside friction.
Records three temperature readings per tyre via pyrometer, providing performance data that generic automotive apps lack.
How much does it cost?
The app functions as a free utility to support the sale of physical hardware, with the RaceSense Pocket gauge priced at £225.
Velocity
Dormant developmentplatform expansionShow more...
The development momentum is classified as zombie due to the lack of activity over the last 15 months. With only two releases recorded since late 2024 and no updates in the last 6 months, there is no evidence of ongoing maintenance or feature development. The platform expansion to iOS in late 2025 appears to be an isolated event rather than a sign of active development.

Competitive landscape for RaceSense Tyre Gauge
How's the Lifestyle market?
RaceSense Tyre Gauge holds a specialized position in the lifestyle category, focusing on precision motorsport metrics rather than generic vehicle maintenance. The lack of a paid tier or subscription model signals that the app's primary role is to protect the hardware-sales funnel rather than generate direct software revenue.

Key takeaways for RaceSense Tyre Gauge
Where is it heading?
The automotive performance market is consolidating around integrated diagnostic suites, leaving specialized tools like RaceSense Tyre Gauge exposed to broader OBD2-based entrants. The immediate priority is stabilizing the Android build to prevent churn, as the current launch-day failures undermine the precision-performance value proposition.
- Android launch crashes in the latest version erode the daily active habit, which compounds the rating drag already visible on the platform.
- Responsive developer support for technical issues maintains high user trust, providing a buffer against the current stability regressions.
The SWOT
- Proprietary NFC data sync creates a hardware-locked retention loop
- Motorsport-grade accuracy (+/- 0.1 psi) serves as a barrier to entry for generic automotive apps
- Integration of tire-wear analytics could capture the performance-tuning segment currently served by manual calculators

Since the last report: Android launch-day crashes have introduced a critical stability regression, shifting the outlook to mixed despite the developer's continued responsiveness to user feedback.
Bottom line
Restoring Android stability is the prerequisite for maintaining the RaceSense hardware-retention loop, as current launch failures prevent all trackside utility. Once stable, the PM should prioritize UI customization to reduce the information density that currently frustrates professional users.
