BMW M Power Meter App Reviews

So disappointed! The results are questionable (at best), the graphics are ok, but the whole app just lacks the luster of the BMW brand. This feels hacked together. Its buggy and there are a variety of spelling and odd grammatical mistakes. For instance, from the instructions: "The small 1x1 of the BMW M Power Meter."... uh what? Why does it feel like BMW doesnt take the app store seriously and feels like littering it with more crap instead of spending a little money to build high quality apps that are real show-pieces in the app store. I own a 325i, and Im happy that BMW spends their time and energy on building cars instead of iPhone apps, because this app is a total lemon. Its only saving grace is that it was free. Bottom line, save your bandwidth and move on from this one.

I started it and just walked from my room to living room. It said my max speed is 15mhp. LoL

Very unreliable. About half the time it didnt notice I had passed the target speed. Seems to need a lot of work yet.

Whats up there ^ |

I like it so much. When I drive my BMW x6 it works perfectly.

This cant be for real. I can sit on the toilet and fake this app into thinking its going 252 mph. And thats with a 1/4 mile time over 17 seconds no less. So picture this, the worlds fastest car (253 mph actually) but it cant out-accelerate a Honda Odyssey. I dont think Im going to disgrace my M3 by trying to use this app with it. First BMW gives us the abominations that are the X5M and X6M (whose pictures are prominently featured in this app), and now this crappy app? Please. This ones getting DELETED.

I use this everytime I use my 2009 M3 really gret tool to use to find out how is your trip results

Just tried this app out in my 2007 BMW 335i. 0-60 in 4.82 seconds, which is accurate. I decided to try it out after experiencing some turbo lag, but it seems like the 0-60 time is not affected by this lag. Only wish I could lay my iPhone flat instead of upright. But other than that, a great app!

Too bad the accelerometer in iPods isnt good enough, or maybe BMW cant integrate :P Not accurate enough to bother with, except maybe to compare max g force.

Its accurate, but not quite. I use it in my car, and sometimes its off by a few miles.

Seriously doubt the veracity of this app. First test was running the length of my kitchen. Got clocked going over 129 mph. Thought that was a tad fast. Test #2: sat on the recliner, went even faster just by waving the phone twice. Afraid to test it with car. Ill wait for the update.

go back to the old ///M logo icon !! thank you!

What happened to the M logo. It Looked awesome. Please bring it back.

Some of these kids who dont even have a car must realize you have to keep it vertical and still while in your car (e.g. Cupholder or docked). At a standstill hit start and then go. Fairly accurate if used correctly. Doesnt work off navigation, it works off movement...so yes, moving it forward by tilt will accelerate you pretty quick.

Descent app, G-Force numbers seem to be accurate. Issues: • This app is entirely useless to check 0-60 time, it starts timing when you hit the start button, not when you start moving. You can try and hit the button at the same time, but then you have to take focus off the road. Told me 0-60 was over 20sec when in reality it was around 5. • GPS does not activate until you start the recording, so theres a brief delay. • Chart axis are not labeled well, making them difficult to read.

Like someone else said it starts counting as soon as you hit the button. That is not the way it should work, it should start as soon as it detects motion. Worthless app, might as well use a stopwatch

4.3 to 60 with wheel spin and 1.4 lateral Gs

Its pretty good all in all but it needs some improvement response time or Lets get some new controls settings some RPM

This is a very poorly designed app in that it forces you to Touch the Start Button to begin the timer. This requires the user to take their eyes off the road and hand off the steering wheel while accelerating. Very dangerous and foolish design.

Untouched since DEC-2011? Probably your initial and only release? That schizophrenic-style ignorance is the "norm" for Google crapware; go there and be a bottom-rung supplier. Youve ignored valid complaints; BMW should have long-ago rid itself of you; and Apple should be intolerant all the same.
