ForzaTune 5 for Android
The algorithm/formula this app uses to calculate it's values sucks! Total waste of time. Listen, if you can't tune your cars, I seriously suggest just using the forza default tunes that the game supplies with each car, because this app just makes things worse. Do what I did, go online, research and learn the formulas for tuning springs, bump, rebound and anti roll bars etc. Deleting this app.
Ive been a Forza addict since playing FM2 on the original Xbox 360 and either my driving abilities literally doubled in a matter of minutes, or this app really works in creating the perfect tune... The only thing I would like to see added is the ability to select which track you will be racing, so that your tune can be optimized for short/tight or fast/wide circuits. Due to there only being a handful of different track types and a different app for each Forza game, this seems like an obvious inclusion to me
This app will not perform miracles for your driving skills. However, if you are a decent driver who needs that extra edge, buy this app. My lap times are significantly lower, now that I've tuned certain cars.
I purchased FT4 and FT5. Clearly there is a big difference between the calculators in terms of camber. The question I have is specific to ft5: why does camber decrease when downforce increases? That doesn't make sense in the real world. Is this a flaw in the calculator or the game's physics engine?
I know its not your fault but you could help fix it.Forza unfortunately does not keep track of lap times for each car,only the fastest.It would be nice to be able to put my times for several cars in a app so i know if I am doing better with a new tune or worse etc.Plus I would like to know where my cars stand against each other.This would broaden your apps use greatly.
Very easy to use, they even have a tutorial section where they detail how to find all of the necessary information. Will this app give you a tune that makes you put up the best lap time ever? No, probably not. But it will provide a base tune setup that gives you more out of your car than you would have by not tuning it. For people who don't anything about tuning or just want a quick tune, this app is perfect. For experienced tuners, you may or may not find this useful depending upon your experience level.
I have been trying like hell to get a good leader board time in the brickyard after I dowloaded this app used it for a base tune and trans geaing I moved over 2000 spots in the world to be in the top 900 overall in s class . With a little more fine tuning I will take number 1 just need to shave 0.90 sed of my lap time
Great for base tunes regardless of car. However, the default 2,4 Rear Camber feels more suited for drifting than racing. 95% Oversteer and 1.0 Rear Camber fits my driving style a lot better.
This app works well. Not sure I always agree with gearing setups, but has helped me learn to tune. Great job, money well spent.
So Found this to be a bit suspect at frost but tried on a few cars and different classes easy knock 5 Seconds per lap, just don't use any aids and you can setup your car beautifully, just follow this app as close as you tune setting will allow

This is a great help & very clever. In my opinion its worth having without a doubt and will save you loads of time. Trying to find a happy medium with settings has been painful up to this point so I'm pretty stoked with the app. It does what it says it will & I'm happy to give this one my first 5 star rating ever. Cheers.
The alignment is normally the same for every car (within a .5 of 6.4 for caster) which never seems to help long term. This app will get you about 90% to your end objective of a tuned car, because when they say base that is all they mean. More often then not this will give you a decently competitive car, but rarely a top performer. Is it worth 2$? Imo yes, but barely... I'd like to see an option implemented so you can *optionally* add the car you are tuning into it. Would produce better tunes that way.
If you race with traction control on this will give u bad results. Use the old forza Droid app instead it gives more accurate spring settings for driving with traction on. And much better camber results
Some cars this works great, but for others especially racecars (LMP1, GT, F1) not so much. This app puts way to much camber on any car. One of my B-Class cars has a tune by a great YouTuber and he has ~1° of camber and it handles great. This app puts ~2° of camber on every car I have tuned. If you know how to tune and do it well I wouldn't get this app but if you don't then this is a good app to start learning with. May not be the best but it's definitely better than nothing.
It works great for forza five and horizon 2 i love this app
Got this the other day and loved it I have been playing forza for about 6 years and have been in the top 1% on the leaderboard for the last fue years and getting a good base line setup to start from is the most important fact about this game . and this all increast my lap time by 5secons on my 1st go around spa. This all reely reely works. And with the gear box setup as well you can incrace your cars acsell and top speed or tell it the top speed you won't and it will give you the fastest way to get there by it by it by it.I am glad that I did .no BS ITS THE truth. FORZA5LOVER OFF THIS App. See you on Xbox lads.from content aye933 .Xbox one
Stay away from this app. It gives you the most incorrect settings for a car you could possibly imagine. I'm a top racer on the leaderboards so I know what I'm talking about. I've been stuck at anywhere between 15-50th and I thought I'd try this to see what I'm missing. Once I applied these setups I was much slower. 0.8 slower at road Atlanta, 1.2 slower at catalunya school. Ign-dabeasta66613. If you're struggling tuning, just message me in game anytime. I'm willing to help anyone. This app is a fraud.
This app is backwards on so many levels. Front tires should ALMOST ALWAYS run more negative camber than the rear... This app puts rear Bump and spring far too soft relative to the front causing the cars to flop over in the rear, wash out on corner entry and be unable to put power down and rotate on mid corner to corner exit. Rebound:Bump ratios are way off as well. Bump does best at 30-67% of Rebound in almost all cases. Gearing calculator on the other hand is amazing and worth the cost of the app!
Excellent app just what I was looking for spot on gear ratios to keep your car in the power bands overall 10/10
Just starting using it. It works well with Forza 5... Started using it on Horizon 2 on the One, and for the most part, it works good. Doesn't work that well for the Storm Island setup cars/trucks, but it is a baseline setup for those anyway. I would rate 5 stars if the Horizon 2 rally coding was added in. But overall, a must have for any Forza fans.
It is without a doubt in my mind the best way to quickly setup a vehicle, almost borderline cheating

Worth every penny. This does everything, including gears (which it makes incredibly easy to understand), & it even works (for me at least) with Horizon 2 & Motorsport 2, 3 & 4. Tutorials are included & are well written & easy to understand (with accompanying videos), paid app means no annoying intrusive ads, has a simple interface & even let's you customise to your preferred driving style with a simple slide adjuster. If only all apps were this well thought out & produced to this standard.
Awesome app would be cool to see settings for drag, drift, and circuit.
I've been using this app to break top 10000 on almost every track, even up to top 1000, will continue to use if you guys don't make a Forza 6 one.
Forza tune 4 was amazing on forza 4. Can not say enough about how awesome it was. Forza tune 5.... eh not so much. These are very unstable tunes. Do not waste money. If you have Forza 4 get that app for sure. But not this one.
Using HTC one m8
I like this alot it gives you very precise settings and the car feels very stable.Im into racing for years now and im telling you this program gives stable settings on a gamepad.For wheel its even better!!
Found the tunes nearly perfect for cars up through A class. Once I got into S and R the cars became uncontrollable using the tune suggested. Second gear became a crash waiting to happen as the tires just spin the moment you get on the gas and off the track you go. Still trying to figure out if I'm just doing something wrong hut for the most part worth the money.
Definitely worth the purchase. This will improve your times, but is impossible to get you a top 100 time without the right upgrades. This app doesn't tell you to run a fully built NA or a single turbo with intake, exhaust, and race pistons (that is all up to your decision).So the only improvement that could be made to the app is: Choose car, then class, then it informs you of what upgrades to install AND then you plug in the tune. Don't forget to adjust your gear ratios to get the most out of your tune.
This app has been great so far. The tuning specs it suggests actually are great. The only thing that could be done is if the UI was a little bit better and more user friendly but that's just nitpicking. App is definitely worth it and I'm using the specs in FH2.

Love it. I use it as a baseline to get me into the ball park for setup and fine tune from there. Only request I have would be the ability to chose what you want your top gear to be at, I prefer to run my "6th gear" at a 1:1. So having the ability to chose that and have it adjust final drive to that would be awsome
I figured out after upgrading my transmission the base line stats changed. After you default everything by installing stock set your aero to minimum then enter that plus your other upgraded to your class digits. I also found the app works a million times better on AWD cars.
It gets you a great base line to work from. You'll need to fine tune a little based on how you drive but I use this on all my cars and I'm ranked 250 or better on every track in the game with some as high as top 20.
I tried using an old app I downloaded for FM3 a few years back and it was not cutting it for FM5. I gave this a try and happy I did, tbr cars I tuned thus far have been amazing! Highly recommended.
I am no Mechanic. and Although not a FULL SIM! If you spend some time using the App It really has helped me. It's great Experience for the up COMING PROJECT CARS! ;-) §
Provides excellent base tune, then you can tweek for driving style. The gearing calculator works, just not for me, I still have to set it up per track.
by I####:
Great app. It is very easy to use and create a base tune, which you can fine tune by using the in game telemetry. I did about 10 laps with no tune, then used a base tune using the calculator and shaved 4 seconds off my time. I'm using it on a A 695 Eagle Talon, constantly coming in 1st or 2nd in online lobbies. It definitely makes a difference. Great purchase!
