Anyone have experience with both? Which one do you recommend?

I tried the trial version of aLapRecorderHD and it was great when it worked, but isn't all that reliable. Sometimes, when I tried to play specific recorded video files, it would always crash as if the data was corrupted. Other times, my camera recording would be overexposed (too bright to really see anything) or it would do this weird rolling thing. I'm using a Galaxy S3, if that matters. Anyone know why it might be doing that? I'm hesitant on buying the full version if it will be just as buggy. And it seems like the developer abandoned the app in 2011 (last updated). Does anyone have better luck on other Android phones?

I might consider buying a used iPhone (or iPod+external GPS) just to use Harry's LapTimer if that is more reliable. Can anyone comment on this app? Is it compatible with the Elm27 bluetooth OBDII device?
