Speedy turns your iPhone into a drag-strip timer. Just drive. Speedy detects your launch by itself, times the run, and saves the result — no buttons to press while you're accelerating. WHAT IT MEASURES • 0–60 mph / 0–100 km/h • 0–130 mph / 0–200 km/h • 60–130 mph / 100–200 km/h • 60 ft, 1/8 mile and 1/4 mile, with trap speed • Splits every 10 mph (20 km/h) BUILT FOR ACCURACY Speedy pairs GPS with your iPhone's accelerometer to pinpoint the exact instant you launched, instead of waiting for GPS to catch up. 0–60 is reported with the 1-foot rollout used at real drag strips, so your times line up with how cars are actually tested. An honest signal indicator tells you when conditions aren't good enough to trust a run — no fake numbers. EVERY RUN KEPT • Results saved automatically on your phone • Map and speed trace for each run • Altitude, temperature and density altitude recorded alongside • Share your best times to the leaderboard YOUR UNITS mph or km/h · °F or °C · feet or metres Questions or suggestions?
