ForzaTune 4 is available for purchase on the App Store. Here is the link…
Use this new app to get a great foundation for your suspension tune as quickly as possible.
Frequently asked questions:
Q. What is Tune Stability?
It’s an easy way to add more oversteer or understeer. Lower the percentage to make your car have a little more oversteer. I will be turning this into a simple slider that lets you go over 100% (increasing understeer in the process). EDIT: Version 4.0.1 has this update!
Q. Why do you only have RWD, AWD, FWD? Does engine position matter?
Engine position is not needed with the way these calculations are designed. Our tuning genius Feuerdog devised a way to make it even simpler using weight distribution. Simpler is better (and faster!).
Q. First time I load the app I get some crazy numbers for the springs, camber, etc…
Simply close the app and reopen it to fix this issue–it will only happen the first time you download. Version 4.0.1 will be out this week to fix the small glitch.
Thanks again for the great comments, ratings and overall awesome support from the Forza community!
hi, love the app.
any idea when the ipad version will be out?
Thanks! End of January for iPad UI (will be included with current app–no separate purchase necessary)
Thanks for the response, again love the app. You guys are awesome!
Thanks for the support!
After a long wait its finally here. Used it for 4-5 hours last night and I feel although the tyre characteristics and suspension geometry work a lot better, I think you’ve missed the bar with regards to the ARB over/under steer – FWD cars are way too twitchy without aero under breaking.
When are you looking to impliment your slider bar as I feel being able to set the slider at approx 80% (being the current 100%) would give headroom to produce more stability – ie, slide to right to further remove “twitchyness”.
Other than that, a good update. Solid 4 stars but would be better if FWD cars weren’t so damn twitchy.

I appreciate the time you took to do a thorough review. I just submitted a new version of the app for Apple to review that allows greater than 100% “stability”–I should not have limited it to 100%! This should address your comments about twitchy FWD cars.
Honestly, I think the old app is much better. I keep on using the old app with the basic calculations. I tried the Forza 4 app, but the anti roll bar settings are too extreme. Every car oversteers badly in fast turns. For me, the new app is not worth the money. I prefer the Forza 3 app!
The 4.0.1 update will allow you to dial-in more understeer if that is your preference. I hope Apple approves it in a few days. Enjoy!! This brings up a good point–we will continue to make improvements to the app over time and for free (especially gearing which is in beta). I do appreciate the ForzaTune faithful being the first to try the app. The response and comments have been awesome! Thanks again.
just wanted to give my support, I used FT3 and found it invaluable, and whilst I’m sure there will be a few teething problems with the start up of this app – lets face it, the game is new, and it will take a while for the feedback to work its way into the app. I am confident in your app, and that future updates will keep improving it which is why I’ve bought it and will give feedback once I’ve fully tested it.
Thank you for your efforts
I used the app last night and without making any tweaks of my own i can easily put all my cars in top 1% on leaderboards. The calculator has been extremely useful. Even the gearing calculator is quite useful. Thank you and cant wait for future updates. I would love to add some constructive criticism but honestly in my opinion the app is solid and can only get better. Great job!
I’ve been using version 4.0.0 for a bit. While I’m not a good enough racer to really comment on how well the new app works versus the old one, I do find that with the new one on FM4 cars are more drivable, especially the older, slower cars when I upgrade them several classes. I use the standard 360 controller and have found that with the tuning from FT4 I can race without assists cars in the “A” class, something that was almost impossible before the tuning.
I’ve just downloaded the new 4.0.1 update and I’ll give it a try soon.
I upgraded a ’67 Chevelle SS to B500 and then tuned to neutral (100%), full understeer (120%) and oversteer (80%). I ran each set up around Laguna Seca several times. I was pleased to see how I could easily detect the difference in handling and how it affected my driving style. I’m very happy with the app and the new slider.
Loving the mew app! Any chance you could add an option to lower the font size or remove the headers so i dont have to scroll to get through all of the options? Im lazy i know lol
I’ve been playing around with the Gearing App portion of Forzatune 4 and it’s really been useful, especially when you upgrade a pretty low class car up two or more classes. If you upgrade to an adjustable gearbox but don’t adjust the gears you almost never use sixth or sometimes even fifth on most tracks. Using the Gearing App I am using all the gears which keeps me more in the favorable torque band. Nice!
I would ask that we include a data entry keyboard input for the Estimated Top Speed instead of the slider. The slider is too touchy and hard to put on just the right number. Thanks!
Hi, I used the FM3 tuning app and it worked great. I downloaded the FM4 tuning app day 1 and have been using it ever since with great success. I really like the slider for stability, it really helps for the muscle cars which I like to drive.
There are 2 parts of the tune I don’t follow. The ARB and Differential. I mainly drive RWD cars and the rear ARB setting feels too high and always makes the rear end slide too easily so I usually cut it in half.
The differential settings also feel a little too high and cause the rear end to slide too much in both throttle on and off conditions. I usually set the diff to 45 accel/15 decel and get much better results.
When is the ipad update coming out?
Now the game has been out for some time are there any plans for a “pro-grip” update?
I’d be happy to provide information on the cars I have tuned with the app, typically I’m getting into the top 1% on the leaderboards, and any help to push me up further would be appreciated!
