Hi, anyone tried out these apps got the iPhone. They suppose to use the iPhones g sensors and work as accelerometer and even calculate hp.

Yes i have Dynolicious, bought it when it first came out for £1
Its a good app, very accurate. But you need to know the exact weight of your car which i dont so i dont actually know if the HP figures are correct.91 S2 coupé - RIP

Dynolicious on my iphone works greatComment

Are these hp ratings accurate? Or at least consistent so you can compare changes?
Can you use this data to produce some kin of a dynograph?Go Holset or Go RS4Comment

With the G sensors used in the i-phone this will be as acurate as getting a 5 year old to guess the size of jupitor.
It will be just a very very rough guide and nothing else. I would not use it to quote figures.Comment

Aparently the measurement are like the Gtec small models! That's why I am asking!Go Holset or Go RS4Comment

They do use the same basic technology but the g-sensors in the G-tech will be supeiror to the i-phone ones.
Also your cars weight input will be critical to get the BHP as accurate as possible but again with the G sensors being used this will be a rough guestimate with the i-phone.
I'm not knocking it but just being realistic.Comment

This is a funny thread, pub HP figures!ChefComment

Has any one actually compared this software to a raceloic or gtec box?
Would be interested to know how accurate it is in comparison.91 S2 coupé - RIP

Although I work for Racelogic and may be biased on many issues but in this instance I can catagoricaly say that you could safely put ANY Racelogic GPS/Gyro based datalogging product at the top of the accuracy list whan placed with these other suppliers.
The G-tech will do what you want better than the i-phone becaue that is what it was deigned to do, but the VBOX products are another leap forward.
Have a look round the websites -

It's just for fun these 7 euro apps. For me the numbers compared on my runs seem to be sound to say they are accurate enough for me. The actual HP number is anyway very hard to measure on dyno's, left aside these iPhone apps, since everyone uses a different one, has different tires, different environmental situations, etc, etc. I stopped looking for what is the exact HP number on my car .......
It just needs to be mental

like dynos are super accurate. Even more pub discussion over them...Comment
