Also torque app. I mean, it’s something. Don’t know if the timer is included in free version.

I’ve never used it, but Ulysse, the speedometer app, has that functionality.

I’ve used one called “0-60 Mph Calculator”

It does what it’s supposed to.

Also “GPS Acceleration”

Some of the folks with JB4s are using this new thing Dragy which uses GPS + phone app for accurate timing. http://www.burgertuning.com/dragy_gps_performance_meter.html

Doesn’t torque require a plugin module or something? My motorbikes are pretty old and don’t have techy stuff ports....

I honestly haven’t personally used for the 0-60, 1/4 mile, horsepower type of stuff in Torque much, if at all, but the app is otherwise a godsend so I figured I’d mention it.

That said, I think most of the magic happens within the android device itself when it comes to the 0-60 type measurements, using GPS and the devices accelerometer to get the data for the measurements. I don’t think an obd device would need to be connected at all... But again, I haven’t really tried it so I can’t say for sure.. Though I can check for you the next time I head out (if I remember, of course)

Edit: Just launched the app, and even with Bluetooth disabled and the car out of range the 0-60, 1/4 mile, 0-100kph and 1/8 mile widgets loaded and say “Ready”.
