Is there such a thing as a dressage test calling app? GPS or accelerometer senses where you are and the next command is read out.
 
I'm pretty sure there are, certainly for the BE tests there is. However I don't think it recognises where you are in the arena, as in, it does not track you.
 
I nearly bought the BE one but there have been a lot of complains about the tests being wrong which is a pretty big problem! I think it will be called out timed rather than accurately knowing where you are. It would need to be pretty powerful to manage that.
 
I record someone reading the test for me as I ride it (timing has to be good) then play it back on my phone next time.

You have to have consistent speed, obviously, but it's a rough and ready solution until some clever soul makes an app that works properly.
 
I don't really have anyone to record it for me so what I have done a couple of times is watch a test on youtube and dictate into my phone the commands at what I hope will be the right time frame for me to ride them. Think I used it once and it was okay other than my earphones wouldn't stay in!!
