BMW M Power Meter App Reviews

Fun app

Simple to use and fun to play with

I tested this out in my car and it reported I only got max 40 km/h although I got up to 60. It was fun anyway.

1. first of all its a phone you cant expect it to be very accurate 2. its works ALOT better with a iphone 4 which has a gyroscope 3 it works best when actually clipped into the car and not in your hand or something its an awesome app and the readings are close enough AND even if its crap (which its not) it a free app so its not like your losing anything good job BMW :)

I tried to get 0-100km/h but when I actually am standing still, it wont actually read it and the reading is off.

Which for an app from a car manufacturer is pretty hilarious.

Cant give this anything more than 1 star if it doesnt do what its supposed to. It crashes at the end of measurement making it useless.

i drive now 919 km/h!!!! :-)))) The speedometer makes 3 tours!!! A f###ing big bug!!!!

Two stars, because it starts. ;)

This app sounds good when you read what it has but constantly shuts off in the middle of a run. Waste of my time and gas !!!!

Crashes when you end measurement. Save your time and dont download.

Great app to use for fun with cation, I love it.

This program is inacurate and is just a toy..

Its a fun toy to play with, but very inaccutare.

Very accurate fun, a must

All of its great features and slick interface are rendered useless by a stupid requirement that the iPhone be standing straight up and down or perfectly flat. My cars iPhone is permanently tilted (which is a good thing), so I cant use this app. Many other apps, including Rev allow the phone to be oriented in Amy direction with a simple calibration.

There are literally a dozen performance apps in the app store. Every single one of them is more accurate than this dog. A run in Rev and in Dynolicious gives me a 0-60 of about 7 seconds, same stretch of road using this app? 10 seconds, and I made the run twice with the same result.

1/4 and 1 mile distances are not correct, does not use gps to check acceleration derived distances.

Sadly, the only thing meriting a star is the high-tech graphics. Though I didnt expect the Power Meter to be dead-on accurate, it would at least be nice if error could be reduced to plus or minus 5-10%. In my case, and even considering my iPhone was properly mounted and calibrated, the app was about 15 mph off at 30 mph! Also, if you register a profile with BMW they are supposed to supply you with an access code (key) that will allow you to change the skin graphics... well, despite my registering and re-registering at least three times, the access code provided continued to come up with a message indicating my code was invalid. Im a huge BMW enthusiast, but this will dissappoint and frustrate users more than the companys infamous i-drive!

I select it to record 1/4 mile but it always stops at 1/16!!!!! Also, the required angle is a pain, it should work as long as the phone is stationary.
