Controller Guide

A controller is optional. Every race-day start can be triggered with the large on-screen touch controls.

  1. 1. Pair in iOS Settings

    Put a compatible Bluetooth or MFi game controller into pairing mode, then connect it from iOS Settings. Keep the controller awake before opening the race dashboard.

  2. 2. Map and test buttons

    Open an event and use the controller mapping and input-test tools. Choose deliberate buttons and verify each input before race-day operation.

  3. 3. Run the Ready Check

    Before starting, confirm the start list, start mode, first planned time, controller status, countdown cues, reference clock, battery, and screen auto-lock status.

  4. 4. Keep touch as the fallback

    If the controller disconnects or behaves unexpectedly, continue with the on-screen Start control. Timing remains local and does not depend on the controller or network.

Controller features are part of Rally Start Timer Pro, available as a one-time in-app purchase with no subscription or recurring charge.
