Comments on SmoothTrack: Head Tracker for Android

★★★★★ YamaZipper1k · Apr 2, 2026
5 stars. Without a doubt the best app for head tracking in games like Flight sim, Beaming. Drive, and many others. It can take some setup but it's all relatively easy once you familiarize yourself with the process, ill say the little details matter for setup so make sure you have everything correct. I have no complaints! Once you get it working you can't beat it. The app is 100% worth the 12 dollars if you want head tracking availability.
★★★★★ Greg TheReaper · May 3, 2023
First app I've ever bought on Android, bought it as a temporary alternative to tracker because it's simply not available here. Whilst there is a little bit of setup that means you need to know your way around your PC and a little bit of post installation tweaking, dcs picked it up immediately. Tbh it works pretty well without changing any curves, but I'd recommend you do. I wouldn't suggest this as a long term solution but if you're saving up or waiting on RMA it's 100% worth the full price 5*
★★★★★ R Ortiz · Apr 20, 2025
Great app. Works really well with open track in MSFS and Plane (flight simulators)
★★☆☆☆ Mark Wadey · Nov 19, 2023
Had this working a couple of years ago, but now it refuses to function in ETS2. I can get the octopus in open track to move with my head, but in game it refuses to work. I've even tried setting up buttons to toggle it on off etc. in game and open track, still refuses to function.
★☆☆☆☆ Connor Hamp · May 15, 2026
No way to switch front and back cameras, massive black bar in landscape mode that blocks most of the screen, app is quite sensitive to the angle of your phone, and will not register your face at higher angles. There's a bit of shaking even when my head is still that makes it hard to see, and the front-back axis for zoom seems a bit inconsistent. Broken garbage that I can't even get a refund for.
★☆☆☆☆ Alan James Bell · Dec 3, 2025
Not working properly on my Samsung A23. I have to have my phone to my left, resting on the throttle control and looking up my nose in order for it to detect my face. If I move slightly, I am out of the FOV and the tracking stops working. If I put the phone in front of me where I'd expect it to be, it does not detect. My face has to be in the very bottom right-hand corner of the screen to be detected. Found a better solution that only needs a webcam. AI Track with open track. Works perfectly.
