So is the general consensus that this app is worth buying?

Just wondering...
Take a look at this, Rudy.

They do a timed run at a drag strip and have both an iPhone running Dynolicious and a G-Tech on board when they do the run. At about 5 minutes in on the video, you'll see them compare the Dynolicious results to the results on the official timing slip from the drag strip - and they are close to identical!

Thanks...I think that just about sold me!

Now, for those of you guys who've been playing around with their Dynolicious iPods, why not post some images of the screen output so we can see how fast your cars are?

Rudy, my iPhone has accelerometers in it which is how it senses that you rotated the device sideways so it automatically flips the screen view sideways. The Dyno programs use this device for data. Does your touch have this feature, if so then it should work.

I think you're a bit late to the party...in a couple other (old) threads, this question was answered already. I've had Dynolicious running on my Touch for quite some time now (although I haven't really had time to mess around with it in the car too much...)

Thanks anyway!

Hey,
I got this app as soon as it came out but (shamefully) i didn't make time for it. Now i'll for sure give it a spin and post the screenshots of both BMWs.

Quicktip: To capture a screenshot on the iPhone you press sleep button + home button at the same time.
