G-Bowl is a training and analysis tool to improve driving skills for a wide range of drivers from beginner to motorsport drivers.
It depicts G-forces (acceleration/braking/cornering) generated while driving a car in the forms of the motion of a virtual G ball, graphs and sounds and allows the driver to improve his/her driving skills by integrally controlling them.

The app also records all driving data (G-force, jerk, yaw rate, speed, GPS information), and can be used as a data logger for various types of driving analysis, including circuit driving. In addition, it is equipped with many other functions, such as braking diagnosis, editing driving data and sharing it with other users.

DEVICES

iPhone 5s or later, iPad Air/mini2 or later, iPod Touch 6 or later. (Some functions cannot be used on devices without GPS.)

HOW TO USE

1.Getting Ready

Set the iPhone in the car with its face up and its top right toward the forward direction of the car. The top of the iPhone can be lifted for easier view (up to the vertical) as long as it is aligned with the forward direction.

It is important to set the iPhone in a place with the least vibration. It is recommended to set the iPhone in a stable place such as on the car floor or the center console. (An iPhone stand to be set on the dashboard is not recommended since it is easily affected by vibration.)

After setting the iPhone, park the car on a level ground and touch the [Calibrate] button to allow the app to memorize the levelness.

2.Measurement

After calibration is done, touch the [Start Driving] button and start driving.
Touch the [Stop] button when driving is finished.

3.Replay and Share

Touching the [Log List] button at the upper right displays the list of past drive logs.
Touch the log you wish to replay.
Long-pressing a log displays the optional menu, for example, for sharing it by e-mail.
On the replay screen, you can choose a graph display mode by [Mode] Button.

4.Diagnosis

The app judges the drivers braking operation to stop the car, for example, at a stop light. (Additional braking during slowing down is judged bad.)
