Vroomist
Read full descriptionHide full description
Vroomist turns your iPhone into a precision vehicle performance analyzer. Connect a RaceBox GPS, Dragy Lite device via Bluetooth for professional-grade measurements, or use your iPhone's built-in GPS. SPRINT MEASUREMENTS Measure acceleration times across any speed range. Built-in presets include 0-60 mph, 60-130 mph, 0-100 km/h, 100 - 200 km/h and dozens more. Create your own custom sprint specs for any speed range you want to test. DRAG RACING Track your 1/8 mile, 1/4 mile, 1/2 mile, and full mile times with trap speed readouts. Add custom distance targets to match your local strip. SLOPE-CORRECTED TIMES Every sprint and drag result includes a slope-corrected time that estimates your flat-ground performance. Vroomist divides each run into segments and corrects each one individually based on its actual elevation change โ so hills, dips, and rolling terrain are all accounted for, not just the difference between start and finish altitude. GPS LOGGING Record full GPS sessions to capture every detail of your run โ speed, altitude, G-force, and distance โ all timestamped and stored locally. REAL-TIME CHARTS Watch your speed, G-force, and altitude update live on a customizable chart. Adjust the time or distance window, tweak G-force smoothing, set dead zones, and zoom in for a closer look. After a run, compare multiple measurements side by side with overlay charts. SHIFT & SPEED ALERTS Set a shift point and Vroomist beeps when it's time to shift. Set a max speed alert and get notified the moment you hit it. Both work in the background while you drive. WEATHER & DENSITY ALTITUDE Vroomist automatically captures temperature, humidity, barometric pressure, and density altitude with every measurement, so you can correlate performance with environmental conditions. SUPPORTED DEVICES โข Dragy Lite (up to 25 Hz GPS, selectable 10/20/25 Hz sample rate) โข RaceBox Mini (25 Hz GPS) โข RaceBox Mini S (25 Hz GPS) โข RaceBox Micro (25 Hz GPS) โข iPhone Internal GPS (1 Hz) APPLE WATCH See your live speed, device connection status, and measurement results right on your wrist.
