Anyone use "Dynolicious" or other performance testers?

Dynolicious is the first automotive performance meter available for the iPhone and iPod Touch. Dynolicious uses the hardware built-in to your iPhone to measure the performance characteristics of your vehicle. No external wires or equipment is necessary, simply slip the iPhone into a cradle or cupholder and go!
Feature Highlights

* 0-60 Acceleration
* 1/4 Mile Trap Speed and Time
* Estimated Horsepower
* G-forces in 360°

It's a $12.99 iPhone app. I don't have anything, but for $13 I'll probably get this unless someone has info that it isn't very good.

9394volvo850s 1/4 mile time post has me wondering.

I'll try it when I get home. Anything specific you want to know?

No, nothing specific. Just wondering... well yes, now that you mention it. I'd like to know how accurate they are. I could do a Google search for this, but I thought I'd post here to get a "trusted" opinion.

Are you going to buy the Dynolicious app for your iPhone? Or do you have it already?

I got distracted (read: I ended up making buffalo wings). I'll buy it when I get home today and try it. I don't have anything to compare it to since my car isn't past stage 0, so I'm not comfortable taking it to track day, but I'll let you know what I think anyways.

There IS an iPhone OBD II scanner

It transmits with a WiFi signal to the iphone. http://www.devtoaster.com/products/rev/

It will run you about as much as a fairly cheap OBD II scanner when you are done. but oh so kewl. I keep meaning to buy this, but just haven't done it yet.

As for Dynolicious, you have you have a mount for your iPhone that will hold it in an upright position, and level. And it is not accurate, but will give you a general idea.
