MotoCoach – FAQ

MotoCoach is an AI-powered coaching app for closed-circuit track use. It combines a lap timer, optional video + GPS recording, and AI coaching tools to help you improve setup, consistency, and confidence on track. It does not control your vehicle in any way.

MotoCoach is built for track day riders and drivers – from beginners up to experienced club racers. It works with motorcycles, cars, and karts as long as you are using it on a closed circuit or test day.

No. MotoCoach does not use its own account system. Your bike names, notes, and session details are stored locally on your device. Subscription and payments are handled by Apple via your Apple ID.

Strong, long-term vibration can affect optical image stabilisation and camera performance on some iPhone models. If you mount the phone on a motorcycle, we strongly recommend a quality mount with a vibration-dampening module, and mounting it to the chassis or yoke rather than directly to the handlebar where possible.

MotoCoach is designed for track days, testing, and training – not as an official race timing or control system. Always follow the rules of your circuit or race organiser regarding phone use and camera mounting.

No. Lap timing and GPS recording work offline once a session has started. You only need a connection for AI coaching requests (sending text to the AI) and for backing up or updating the app.

Yes – provided that the phone is securely mounted, not obstructing your view, and you do not interact with it while riding. Start your session in the paddock, set the phone, and then ride normally. Treat MotoCoach as a tool for feedback between sessions, not something to watch mid-corner.

MotoCoach cannot replace real-world instruction from an experienced coach or instructor. It is designed to support your learning with structured questions, setup guidance, and data from your own laps.

Yes. The lap timer and video + GPS tools can be used in cars on track days and test sessions. Mount the phone securely inside the cabin, away from airbags and controls, and follow all circuit rules.

Yes. MotoCoach can be used for kart track days and practice sessions. As with bikes and cars, make sure the phone is mounted securely and protected from vibration and weather. Young drivers should be supervised by an adult.

No. MotoCoach is for personal training use only. It is not certified for official race timing or adjudication.

The Lap Timer and Settings/Bikes screens are free to use. You can time sessions, save laps, and manage your bikes without a subscription.

The AI-powered tools require a subscription. This includes Today at the Track, tyre pressure suggestions, suspension setup guidance, track conditions & grip, gearing help, braking stability, body position coaching, confidence & mindset, and the general troubleshooting chat.

Subscriptions are billed through your Apple ID as an auto-renewing monthly plan with a 7-day free trial for new subscribers. You can manage or cancel your subscription at any time in your Apple ID Subscriptions settings. MotoCoach never sees your card details.

No. MotoCoach only records data and provides written coaching suggestions. It does not control or change any part of your vehicle, and it cannot override your judgement. You are always responsible for how you ride or drive.

No. MotoCoach provides structured advice and suggestions based on your inputs, but actual lap times depend on many factors including track conditions, tyres, bike/car setup, weather, and your own riding or driving.

You are responsible for your own riding or driving and for any equipment you use. MotoCoach is a coaching and training tool only. Always ride within your limits and follow the rules of the track.
