Default Sweet iPhone app.

links to itunes app store


It's like a vbox for your iphone. It measures a lot of parameters including 0-60 using the accelerometer of the iphone. All you need is a 2.0 equipped iphone.

it costs 12.99, which is a bargain for software like this.

Heh, I posted about this in the R&C forum and got ZERO responses. Maybe I just didn't word it well enough.

https://www.s2ki.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=617683

Anyway, I downloaded it last night ($13 is cheap compared to a $199 GTech Pro SS ) but haven't had much opportunity to do a quarter mile run with it yet. It's a fun toy, but not exactly anything USEFUL to me at this point. The skidpad graph doesn't do any traces for example - there's really nothing for autocrossers/roadracers to use right now, but that can certainly change if the programmer is good enough.

There is a thread in the Florida forum about it that has gotten decent response.

It should. I think it doesn't use the GPS system, but rather the accelerometer.
