I'm saddened to think that eventually my iOS device will not support the app and the track will be useless.

How long before it stops working? Or will the app still work just without support/updates?

To my knowledge the apps should continue to work without support. Or until your device no longer supports the app. Maybe keep an older device that isn't being used, like a phone you no longer use when you upgrade just dedicated to this.

Would it be smarter to buy the entire kit for $37 on amazon instead? Can the two tracks be combined?

There are no tracks with this. This is an accessory for the set you mentioned.

I have a starter kit. Was looking to add this but then noticed an entire set is only $37. Wouldn't it be better for $20 more to double my track if it compatible.

Yes the kits are compatible. If it is the same kit, i am not sure if you can use duplicate cars. If you get the starter kit and the Fast and Furious kit, you could combine them together and use the 4 cars. Hope that helps

I'm seeing the starter kit with tracks for $60 on amazon.

It seems like the tracks go for about $5/each, so by them taking out the 10 track pieces, they are taking off about $50 of value. It's a way to take the $60 starter kit, take out the tracks, then sell a cheaper starter kit.

I'd suggest just getting the Fast & Furious kit for $40 on amazon which is a better value with tracks. It already includes the 4-car charger and tire cleaner.
