I'm pretty sure the sensors required for this app are only found in iPhone.

Nah...Dynolicious has a BB Storm app, so there's at least 1 BB that has the capability.

This is exactly why I hate Dynolicious and the other ones I've tried: You got a 17 second 1/4 mile time for a 330i and think it's accurate? I've gotten some accurate results for my car but it's hard to keep the iPhone secure, not to mention the fact that any body roll will mess with your results too.

I hope this M app is better.

I took it easy in 1st and fourth on this run. I secured the iphone in an iphone back cover which was double-side taped into the armrest compartment. Very good securing method and repeatable results...
Yes, you are right the quarter mile time is s..t

Thanks so much for reporting about this.

A great start to my new year!

quality_sound · 01-01-2010, 05:09 PM

Weird, I got "Technique", "Carbon", and "Lava". Carbon looks like Sport, Lava is the same and Technique looks like Midnight. I wonder if they change the name for different regions. I registered with a US address though. Maybe it logs IP???

Pretty cool either way.

MrHarris · 01-01-2010, 06:02 PM

Downloading!

There's a few of these for other platforms too. This is not a new thing. The android phones have two in particular that are quite good and have a lot more features than this iphone app. I also got rid of my iphone, couldn't deal with the calls dropping.

DBFIU · 01-02-2010, 06:30 AM

Does it work with Ipod touch?

Yes. As far as apps go the Touch and iPhones are the same.

TunedM2C · 01-02-2010, 11:28 AM

Cool, thanks. The disclaimers they set forth before starting the app. are great. They're covering their asses on all accounts that's for sure.

Donald-335i · 01-02-2010, 12:37 PM

it's pretty accurate.
