What can you say about this program for tuning for the iPhone or Android phone? Does it help or not?

Have you tried to use it?
Have you had any success with the tunes if so…?
They’re alright but you’ll never be at your best using them!
When it comes to tuning, everyone has their own driving style and feel, hence why some people can just get into a car and run fast times.
Think of them apps as a starting set-up which you’ll then tweak to adjust to your style…

Used the App on the i phone just to see if it actually worked or not…Built a E30 M3 myself set a time then built the same car with the app tune instead and it actually felt alot more stable and neutral to drive but was at least 1sec a lap slower prob because in forza the looser the car the faster it usually is, and usually if it feels horrible to drive it will usually fly round…so prob a good starting point for someone who is new to the game or if the car is new and u need to start somewhere its not too bad…
THIS is exactly what the Forzatune app was created to do.
I might give this a go. I’m just starting out tuning cars so it should give me a good starting to point to then tweak to suit my style.
Its £1.49 which is hardly a bank breaker.

Ah sweet…I had this for Forza 4, handy little app to get the base tune down quick and then you can fine tune from there. Downloading now.
I have the most problems with the gearing section of the app. Maybe im just not reading the graphs right.
I had the Forza 4 version. Downloaded the new version this morning. It works well. I was still using Forza 4 version on Forza 5. Some cars came out great, while some NO! I used new app on one of my problem cars & it gave me different values for ARB & Springs & Damping. That totally made the car go through a sweeping turn with ease (example Road America). I still use my own Differential, alignment, & tire pressure. Will give the transmission gearing a go tonight after work.
I’m very satisfied with it. Just Tweak it to your driving style.
gangrel - what do you use for the Diff, alignment & tp? Is it all telemetry for alignment & tp? What for diff? Thanks!
FWD differential 70/20
RWD differential 35/10 or 35/15
I use a formula for tire pressure http://forums.forza.net/turn10_postst5719_ONR-RoadRunner---Tyre-Pressure-Formula.aspx
Alignment I use varies.
Thanks gangrel! [Yeah, for TP’s I have ONR’s equation along with several other.]
I forgot, my other RWD differential 35/15.
My correct FWD diferential # is 70/20 (typo in earlier post).
My alignment varies, miss information in my earlier post. I no long use my earlier mentioned alignment setting in nothing.
I prefer to stay A Class & lower (B Class & lower way more).
