Take your car for a test drive and let your iPhone or iPod Touch show you the results.
CarTrack tells you real-time how fast you are going, how much acceleration (g-force) you are feeling and what your test time is. After the test, you can look at detailed, zoomable graphs of the entire test run. They measure horsepower and distance traveled, in addition to speed, acceleration and g-forces. All of them in metric units (meters, km/h) or imperial units (yards, mph) as you desire.
CarTrack can save your test runs so you can look at all the graphs and details again. Compare the test with your other runs - before and after tweaking your engine - or with your tests in other cars. A state-of-the-art calibration routine gives you maximum accuracy with any car mount you use to fix your device.
You can do a 0-to-60, quarter mile, 10 second and other types of test, or just keep recording until you hit Stop.
This is a full-featured application, made by a community of car enthusiasts!

Pros and cons of CarTrack app for iPhone and iPad
CarTrack app good for
This is a nice app. It offers everything that Dynolicious does but much better Customization is a big plus as well as being able to play back your run in G-Force mode. But for $2.99 its a deal vs. Dynolicious at $12.99. I recommend CarTrack over the others and have a great time using it. No problems. Nice GUI, accurate, easy to use, and fun.
Love this application. Great price as well! A 0 - 30 mph option would make this even better!
This is a great app that works perfectly!! But most important is the support, had a small problem and got all the help i needed to be back in business. Thanks a lot!!
Richard, I would like to give you my respect and thanks for your work. CarTrack is fantastic! It works! And works pretty well.
Ive tested my new Ford Focus ST 2.5 Turbo Euro. Guys, 7,05 sec to 100 km/h. Nice! And very accurate, because the official info is - 6,8 sec.
Also have tested my friends Ford Focus 2.0AT (10,06 sec) and another friends Porsche Cayenne GTS. ;-)
Oh my! Its one of the best apps, Ive ever seen. Beautiful design, unbuggy and quite usefull. TY!
P.S. I have some difficulties with finding the aerodynamics specifications for somy types of cars, thats why the horsepower rating lies a bit sometimes :D
P.P.S. Ребята, прога реально рулит! Качайте ;)
I appreciate the work thats gone into this app. It has a nice appearance. Ive worked with it for a while and like the graphs it provides, and the ability to overlay graphs of different runs.
Someone who expects theyre going to get high accuracy with the noisy accelerometers in the iPhone needs a reality check. This app does the best it can, and is a bargain at its price. Keep in mind the difference between absolute and relative accuracy. Of course its not going to be absolutely accurate, but if I drive with the same acceleration twice, I get the same results. Thats very useful, because then you can compare different runs, different shift points and accelerations. If you really want your hp, go to a real dyno! Verdict, well done, gives interesting infomation.
Some bad moments
Not ready for prime time. Never got it to work and support site seems down.
I just bought and tested it. Speedometer apperently works on accelometer basis instad of GPS. After driving for 3minutes, my car speed was 40kmh when the car was stopped for a few minutes... One of basic measured data is completly wrong !
For speed measuring it should REALY use GPS to have some credibility. Until then, this app is a crap, not worth any money.
Don`t buy it !
I sure wish I didn`t :(
I know hat it didnt cost a lot of money but it I wouldve known that it wasnt going to be accurate at all I wouldnt have bought it. I think I only got it to work right 1 out of the 10 times I tried to use it, dont buy it if you dont have money to throw away.
This is a really bad app. I bought this app thinking I was going to measure my cars horsepower, but unfortunatelly this app is so badly built that many functions causes the app to crash and reboot and some other just dont work, like the speed level. I spent my money for nothing! I still dont know my cars horsepower and the only alternative I have is to buy another app.
Unfortunately, this app just doesnt seem to be very accurate, even after careful and repeated calibration. It has trouble detecting deceleration and maintaining accurate readings over a period of time. Great try though, best of luck ironing out the kinks.
