Question— are there any 0-60 mph timers for android phones that aren’t crap?
Anybody have any beta, por favor??

Also torque app. I mean, it’s something. Don’t know if the timer is included in free version.
Just pulled up on tablet not connected.

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”.
