New in 3.0: Time 0–60 mph and the quarter mile, see every personal best right away and record your runs as videos with speed and time on screen.
How fast is your car, really? SpeedBox times acceleration runs like 0–60 mph or the quarter mile, automatically via GPS and with nothing but your iPhone.
Tap start, drive off, done: Timing begins on its own as soon as you pull away and stops at the finish. No stopwatch, no passenger needed. You keep your full attention on driving.
WHAT YOU GET
• Hard numbers instead of gut feeling: real performance data for your car
• Compare before and after, following a tune, new tyres or a software update
• Several runs back to back without resetting anything, ideal for track days and club racing
• Every result saved, with date, distance, elevation change and slope
• Compete with drivers worldwide: your best times go to the Game Center leaderboards
• A fraction of the price of professional GPS timing devices
NEW IN VERSION 3
• New measuring screen with a large gauge, easy to read in a mount, in landscape too
• Live comparison: while you drive, you see whether you're ahead of or behind your personal best
• A speed curve for every run, and two runs side by side
• Your route on a map
• More times from every run, such as 0–30 mph or the 1/8 mile, plus acceleration in g if you want it
• Video with your numbers: every run is saved to Photos as a clip with speed, time and result
• Weather for every run: temperature, air pressure and density altitude
• Speed and time on the Lock Screen, in the Dynamic Island and in CarPlay
MEASUREMENTS
• The classics: 0–60 mph, 30–70 mph, 60–100 mph, 0–100 km/h and many more
• Distances: 150 m, 1/8 mile, quarter mile, 1/2 mile and 1 mile
• Special modes: drag race, Rolling 50 and top speed
• Choose mph or km/h
• Favorites and recently used modes always at hand
COMFORT
• Start countdown and sound signals at the start and finish
• Two designs: Track (dark, for your mount) and Classic (light)
• Slope compensation: fair, comparable results even uphill or downhill
• Apple Watch: status, speed, time and result at a glance, start and stop timing right from your wrist
• Adapts automatically to your iPhone's light or dark appearance
• VoiceOver announces the start and the result
EVEN MORE PRECISE
An external 10 Hz Bluetooth GPS receiver makes timing considerably more accurate. SpeedBox supports the XGPS160.
HOW IT WORKS
1. Check GPS reception (top right, e.g. "GPS ±16 ft")
2. Choose a mode at the top left, e.g. 0–60 mph
3. Tap "Start measurement"
4. Drive off, SpeedBox times you automatically

Please don't use this app on public roads, only on closed race tracks!
Note: Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.
It is missing the ability to show the times from the “lesser” test modes (get the 0-30 MPH time while already testing the 0-70 MPH). Tried to email the developer from within the app, and received an error that the email box was full.EDIT: Upped it to 3 stars since the developer responded quickly. Will up it again if updates make it into the app. Thanks!

Great App
Ed Neal
App is perfect for hands free timing for both time to speed and time to distance. Great way to do before and after tests on performance enhancements you make to your ride. Also i cannot say enough good things about the author. Dominik is very responsive to user input and is very willing to make changes to the app to meet user needs. Get this app, you will not regret it

Don’t do it
CALA848515
I’ve never reviewed an app in the 10+ years I’ve had an iPhone but felt compelled to review this app. When attempting to record quarter mile times the app stopped timing after about 1 second for about 10 passes. When I waited after “Go” and very slowly accelerated, it captured a 25 second 1/4-mile. What’s the point in it if it doesn’t work when you fully accelerate with a fast vehicle? Save your $1.99 and buy a cheeseburger, it will give you a better idea of your vehicle’s performance than this app does...

Drag Boat
AndyC105
Most drag boats are running 800’ would be nice if the app would record 8mph to 800’ times instead of 8mph to 1/4 mile.
SpeedBox 3.0 has been rebuilt from the ground up: clearer, more precise and full of features you asked for.
New measuring screen
A large gauge that is easy to read in a mount, in landscape too. While you drive, you see whether you are ahead of or behind your personal best.
Results with every detail
Personal bests for each mode, a speed curve, side-by-side comparison and your route on a map. Plus more times from every run, such as 0–30 mph or the 1/8 mile, and acceleration in g if you want it.
Video with your numbers
Turn on video recording and every run is saved to Photos as a clip with speed, time and result.
Weather for every run
Temperature, air pressure and density altitude are saved with each run, so you can see why your car is quicker on some days.
Lock Screen, Dynamic Island and CarPlay
Keep speed and time in view even with another app open. Apple Watch shows status and result.
Also new
New modes such as 30–50 mph, 60–120 mph and 60–130 mph. Your existing results are kept.
Please only measure on closed roads or a race track.
