How can I improve if I can't measure myself?
Becoming a better pilot requires discipline, time, and dedication, but it also means understanding what to improve. And to improve, you need to know how to do it..
Next allows you to evaluate your performance as a pilot across four main dimensions: efficiency, speed, endurance, and comparison. This way, you can better understand your progress as a pilot—how you've improved over time, your consistency during training or races, and much more..
And the best part? It's free!.

Let's take a look at what you'll find in the Next App!
For training and races
Because FPV drone racing is our passion and our fun!.
It doesn’t matter if you’re just training or if your flight day includes a laptimer when you use Next for your training or races, you can harness the full power of the data it offers, and you can also use the voting system to challenge your friends. It’s not just about who crosses the finish line first, but also about who earns the most points from votes!.
FAQ
01. How do I use the Next app?
Click on the download links for iOS or Android, install, and you're all set!
02. When I create an account, it asks me for a nickname. What is that?
The nickname is your pilot name. Keep in mind that when you enter it, you can't use spaces, and it should be the name you provide to your event organizer so they can include it in the Next or RotorHazard console.
03. In the app, what is the Live section??
- Follow races in real time
- Check heat results.
- As a pilot, vote during the same race.
- Watch the race stream if available.
04. When I enter a race in Live, it asks if I’m joining as a pilot or a spotter. What’s the difference?
Pilot means that when you join, Next Server will send you notifications about the frequencies for your next round so you can be prepared. As a spotter, you can still do the same things—vote and view the heat results, but you won’t receive notifications. This is useful if you’re with friends and want to help them keep track of all the pilots' frequencies.
05. What information can I see in Statistics?
In the Statistics section, you’ll find detailed insights about your performance, including efficiency, speed, endurance, and comparative metrics. It also provides an overview of your progress over time, consistency during races or training sessions, and key data to help you improve as a pilot.
06. What’s the difference between Race Results and My Performance?.
Race Results shows the outcomes of individual races, including rankings, times, and heat details for all pilots in the event. My Performance focuses on your personal metrics, providing insights into your efficiency, speed, consistency, and progress over time during training or races
07. How does the comparison work in My Performance?
The comparison feature in My Performance allows you to analyze your stats alongside other pilots. You can see how your efficiency, speed, and consistency stack up against others in the same event, training session, or overall. This helps you identify strengths and areas for improvement relative to your peers.
08. What’s the difference between Players and Pilots in the leaderboards?
Players display the users who have voted for pilots in various races. These users can be pilots, audience members, or spectators, and their results are shown based on the points they've earned. Pilots, on the other hand, are the participants in a race, showing how many points they give to or earn from the Players.
09. How are Nexto Points calculated in race voting?
Every player, whether a pilot voting or an external user, starts with 1,000 Nexto Points. When a vote is placed during a race, 1 point is deducted. At the end of the race, the total points from all votes are distributed among the players who correctly predicted the winner..
