Vroomist

Features
Read 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 — 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 — speed, altitude, G-force, and distance — 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 • Dragy Lite (up to 25 Hz GPS, selectable 10/20/25 Hz sample rate) • RaceBox Mini (25 Hz GPS) • RaceBox Mini S (25 Hz GPS) • RaceBox Micro (25 Hz GPS) • iPhone Internal GPS (1 Hz) APPLE WATCH See your live speed, device connection status, and measurement results right on your wrist. DATA EXPORT Export individual results or bulk-download your entire measurement history as CSV files in a ZIP archive. Filter by measurement type and time range. Save chart images to your photo library.

Powertora

Read full description

Powertora turns your iPhone and a Bluetooth GPS sensor into a rolling-road dyno. Do one full-throttle pull followed by a coast-down on a quiet road, and Powertora calculates your car's real power and torque curves — crank-equivalent, in metric PS — from how it accelerates and how it slows. No rollers. No dyno shop. Just your car, a GPS sensor, and a stretch of road. MEASURE • Real power and torque curves vs RPM • Crank-equivalent output — the coast run captures drivetrain loss automatically • A quality score on every run, so you know how much to trust it • Works with RaceBox, Dragy and other NMEA GPS sensors FREE FOREVER • Unlimited measurement • Shareable power-curve card • Web reports POWERTORA PRO • PDF dyno reports with quality breakdowns • Merge 3–6 runs into one high-confidence curve • Before/after comparison exports • Multi-GPS fusion for extra accuracy • Unlimited garage • Road maps — curvature, grade and wind per run • Cloud backup and recovery HOW IT WORKS Pick your car, enter its weight, and drive: one pull to the limiter, then coast back down on the same road. Powertora does the physics. Measuring is free — upgrade to Pro for the full tuning workflow. Powertora Pro is an auto-renewable subscription (monthly or yearly) or a one-time lifetime purchase. Payment is charged to your Apple Account; a subscription auto-renews unless turned off at least 24 hours before the period ends, managed in your Apple Account settings.
