Better than I thought, but improvements are possible
First off, I left a review about a week ago. Turns out I was wrong - you absolutely can tune to a different class. Thank you, QuickTune, for the response.
Having said that, there are still somethings that could make this tool better (unless this is another case of user error… lol), though in the grand scheme, I stand by my initial verdict that this can be the most powerful tune tool for Forza (I can’t speak for other platforms).
Forza just released new vehicles with their last update (almost a week ago). Many of those vehicles are still not available for tuning. I’m sure the developers are working on this. I’m curious as to whether there’s a way to pull up a help menu. I’d also like to see some more alternative options for tuning and building. For example, (this is one of my favorite things about this app) the app gives helpful hints like “lower speed to 7.1 for best handling. Alternatively, you can lower handling to 6.1.” It would be awesome if, when choosing a performance part it would do the same. For example, it will recommend a wheel for best handling. If I don’t like those wheels and decide to choose a lighter wheel, it could suggest: “for best handling, choose recommended wheel. Alternatively, if you choose to stick with this wheel, increase rim size to 20” diameter (or similar)”.
I realize this is a pipe dream as I’m sure that would be a ridiculous amount of research, etc. it’s really more of a want than a need, though. Other than that, this app is EXCELLENT and I highly recommend it.

Thank you for the updated review, much appreciated! The app does recommend you wheels (on the Recommended tab in the Rims screen). I try to update the app on a weekly basis with new content but sometimes the review takes longer or life gets in the way.
Potential, but ultimately falls short
This app has potential to be the most useful tool for Forza Horizon 6, but ultimately falls short. The major issue, as I see it, comes from tuning any given vehicle to a different class than where it is as a stock vehicle. The app doesn’t add up the PI accrued to change the vehicle’s class so it won’t ever give you a tune. I currently find this app better for building the vehicle, then I have to switch apps to tune. I regret wasting my $ on it, at this point. If they fix this glitch, it will be well worth the cost.

You can absolutely tune a car to a different performance class but the app doesn’t know PI costs of each and every upgrade part so you have to manually update the PI and other stats like power & weight after you have installed the upgrades in-game in the Stats card. To tune a car to a different performance class than the car’s stock performance class select the required performance class in the Start screen then advance to the Build screen, install upgrades and update upgrades and resulting stats in the Upgrades card and Stats card.
Does not give correct results
The app doesn’t give accurate results. Most of the tunes make the car impossible to control. I gave up and went back to my old app.
Waste of money and deleted
I initially tried the free version to gauge whether or not to purchase pro and it showed quite a lot of potential. However it went sharply downhill from there on. I won’t go into too many specific details as they are quite considerable but since purchasing the cars for Forza Motorsport I have yet to find a tune that is any good. Every single car is made worse than the in game provided tune. For reasons I cannot explain this app seems to tune the cars to extreme values making them at best difficult to use and at worst undrivable. Try as I might there doesn’t seem to be any way to contact the developers and the “App Support” button takes you to a website with no reliable contact information. A poor experience overall and very definitely not recommended.

Forza Horizon 6
I Previously added a review complaining about the tuning of track cars on such app and the owner reached out to my reply. we were able to get it fixed. All tunes created since then have been on point 👌. Great app, highly Recommend it.
Response from developer
Thank you very much!
Forza Horizon 6
Incredible at making drift and rally tunes, but lacks heavily on making track tunes. Any time I attempt to make a track tune with this app it creates an unstable drift tune instead
Response from developer
Thank you! As for track tunes: I use the app myself for seasonal events and have usually no problems completing the events. Please make sure you enter all installed upgrades exactly in the app, especially weight reduction, tires, rims, rim sizes and track width since they all considered when calculating the tune. If you still get not satisfactory tunes please contact me under fb@fiftyinch.com as I need more details.
Forza Horizon 6!?
It’s great can’t for the Fh6 update
Response from developer
Support for FH6 is now available!
Support for Horizon 6??
Many of the tunes are decent. I found many don't work properly. Maybe because I am using the H5 calculator and playing H6. Please make a version for H6 as I haven't found a calculator that goes in depth like this one.
Response from developer
Support for FH6 is ow available!

Great app!!!
I have this app and rather enjoy it! I hope one is released for Forza Horizon 6! Please! Thank you!

Thank you! Support for FH6 is now available.
Good

Not work
After the latest update on October 3, it stopped working on my iPhone 12.
Response from developer
The crash has been fixed with the latest update.
Latest update hasn’t worked
The most recent update claims to fix an issue with empty help pages…it doesn’t. Basically any help pages accessed via the in app links open text pages that are black text on a really dark grey background making them unreadable. There are multiple issues with the tune outputs as well.
Revised review
I’m revising my original review now that I’ve had even more time to use this tuning tool…sadly, despite a few updates, I’m getting the same poor results. In the hope the developers see this here are a few issues.
1) I cannot find any way of making contact with the developers. I have tried on here, on X and on their own website but no email address, at least not one I can find. I’m not a Facebook user.
2) The last update was supposed to fix the issue of help links producing blank screens. It has improved but still virtually unreadable to the point of being useless.
3) All of the tunes I have tried seem to have very extreme settings, Anti Roll Bars set to maximum, Spring rates set to minimum, Suspension Geometry set to maximum plus or minus limits etc. In pretty much every case the car ends up worse than it was under the default tune provided by the game itself. At some level this applies to every car regardless of which class but the lower class cars seem to be more affected.
4) The website seems to claim that the app is progressive. I believe it’s meant to update itself with new car statistics as the car is upgraded, if I’ve understood this correctly, it doesn’t work.
I use the app on a standard iPhone 14 and a 3rd Gen iPad Pro, all of the above issues are present on both devices.

Seems like a work in progress
I used the free version a few times and was sufficiently impressed to pay for the Motorsport (I don’t play Horizon) pro version. Prior to writing this review I tried to find contact details for the developer without any luck, it was my intention to run a few things by them before arriving at conclusions. I’ll try to be brief as there are quite a few issues with the app so I’m just going to mention the highlights. For information I believe everything I mention here is applicable to the app being used on either an iPhone 14 or a 12.9 3rd gen iPad Pro as these are my devices. After selecting a car the app, very accurately, displays its stock stats and details however, this information is not altered as upgrades are applied so we can’t be sure if the app is taking them into consideration. In some cases the app considers race brakes and race chassis to be detrimental to handling, it gives a warning, this is also incorrect as both will have either no impact or will improve the handling of a car. There are more examples of this but these are the most obvious. Albeit not every time tapping on the “Learn more” warning will result in a blank screen. The app claims that it will guide you through, and make upgrade suggestions but frankly all it ever seems to do is recommended anti roll bars and even then only when race springs have been selected. After selecting your required car you are given the option to select which Class you would like to apply but this doesn’t seem to provide any assistance with the build either. The layout of the app doesn’t strictly reflect the layout of the game so you can end up moving back and forth when entering upgrades. So far I have built and turned about 10 cars of very different variations and have tested each one against the game’s default tune after upgrades have been applied…in every single case the app tune was slower and generally less stable than the default, in some cases badly so. I genuinely think this app is on to something but right now I believe it has been released too early. I will be happy to revisit and revise this review if there are improvements made.

Forza horizon five
I wish that i could get more cars to tune for free and not spend anything. I wish that you guys asked for 10 cars we wanted tuned.
Response from developer
You can try the QuickTune app not Pro version, it’s completely free to tune all cars.
Yes indeed, worth it
Improved on my own tune on a short track by 0.5secs, in ways I’d never have thought of myself. A lot of work has gone into this and it shows
Response from developer
Thank you very much!
Needs PS5 Support
App had car parts that my FH5 (PS5) didn’t have, because it was made for the PC version. Author needs to update this version for PS5 users. When tuning, I was disappointed with the results. I switched to another app and got better results.
Response from developer
PS5 and PC/Xbox versions are identical in terms of content and cars. What car are you missing parts for?
Disappointed
Created one tune, car totally undriveable even when I tried to use the sliders to remove oversteer. Wouldn’t even go in a straight line. Immediately requested refund after unable to find any way to communicate directly with the developer. Really wanted this to work and have saved the built hoping that the developer reaches out

I‘m not aware that you contacted me through fb@fiftyinch.com. Sorry to hear that it didn’t work out for you. You can contact me anytime via above stated email (which is also visible in the AppStore) if you do have questions though.
Worth buying
Just discovered this app and it’s great! I’m really enjoying it for Motorsport. Thanks for keeping it updated!
Response from developer
Thanks a lot!
