GTPlanet user Calcifer has been hard at work developing a unique application for the iPhone/iPod Touch and Android platforms: it lets you view the latest top 100 times posted to the GT5 Prologue in-game leader boards! This provides a quick way to check rankings without having to shuffle through Prologue’s menus, or just look at the status of your own hot laps regardless of where you are. The app is available for free on both the iTunes App Store (direct link here) and the Android Marketplace (QR code available here) – or just search the applications for “gran turismo” and you should find it quickly on either platform.
Thanks to Calcifer for all his hard work putting this together – you can reach him directly with your thoughts, ideas, or feedback here in our forums.
Pretty nice app. Well designed menus and easy to use.

I actually use my iPhone Lots and I am always up here like daily I thnk gtp sholud be an iPhone app .. What do u guys think?’ no. Because that happened to facebook, you should see the substandard, buggy version android has….unless calcifer did it.
calcifer, i salute you! Android 1.6 – all is good, will notify in market if any unexpected eror etc occur.
Great work! It even looks cool. Great nicknames thinks alike? :tup:

Android For The Win!!!!
this is something I will definitely look into when I upgrade phones. I guess there’s a good chance of a GT5 version when it’s released too. From the screenshots it looks like a nice and clean interface. top job Calcifer Kudos to you!
@Blackjack
Yes, android is the “google phone”. They put it on motorola, htc, samsung, and google phones.
And in my opinion, I think its the best thing ever! I’m replying to you on my Droid
is “android” the OS for HTC phones or the Google phone? Or is this iphone only? Sorry guys, I don’t know much about current mobile tech.
wow fans seem more determined for GT5, apps and stuff than Polyphony!
@ everyone
okok I’m sorry for my bad comment about the app : D
just angry having news that are not related to gt5 :S
good job Calcifer for the app !
I want E3 GT5 INFOS + release date + butler’s next project ad !! + THE GAME
@ FishforRent
I’m no douche ! P
Very well done, In keeping with the existing GT5P style well.
Can you search for yourelf? if not this could be included
Great work man, thats awesome and looks great (even know I have no Iphone)…
@Tim
If you couldn’t care less why take the time to comment? Some people I swear…
I think this app is exactly what the Gran Turismo community needs. If Polyphony is going to take there time giving us something new, the fans are then responsible for bringing content to each other.
Granted, this app is a little late to the show but it’s clean and fully functional. Great idea. Add an option to link it with your PSN ID so you can quickly find your friends and your own times and this app is good to go.
Thanks for creating this app and I can’t wait to see what you come up with when GT5 comes out.
I am not one of the billions of people who own an iphone. AT&T/Bellsouth knows that if they didnt have that phone..there would be millions of people flocking away from their phone services.
I didnt come here to comment on that…I wanted to say that Calcifer did a great job with this free app. He must be rich because Im sure he could charge a few dollars to download and make a considerable profit. If I had an iphone, I would definitely be downloading it.
I will just have to do it the old school way when the game comes out and keep checking the leaderboards online as well as gtplanet for any news on GT6!
ohh very nice :D so cool
@ElieTheBear
JesseDeya got it totally right “There is no excuse for putting down the hard work of an individual who did something to better the GT community at no cost to anyone”
So keep those comments to yourself!!
We all want to play GT5, thats why we are on this site.
This thread isnt about GT5, it’s about the app, so dont beat on Calcifer’s amazing work!
Very cool, as mentioned by other comments looks crisp, clean and very professional. I’m impressed! Although I dont think I’ll be downloading it…. ohh not for the fault of the app… just I’m not good enough to make the top 100 :( so I would really just be downloading it to look at other times much quicker than me and my joypad can do! (my hidden shame) :(
I actually use my iPhone Lots and I am always up here like daily I thnk gtp sholud be an iPhone app .. What do u guys think?
Only one probleme with this news! It’s still about the prologue! Who cares what kind of features they give for an iPhone?? A DLC, cars or tracks would be great. But this…F**k you Yamauchi!
ElietheBear: your are douche.
Calcipher: your true awesomeness
My Samsung Eternity: app-less and pityfull.
*sad*
sickk!
Hope we’ll see this on GT5 also :D
No way! this is amaezing news!
Pretty awesome for Android, in my opinion. I’ll never need to use it because I’m not too good at TT. But it is very well done.
@ Apollo :
Yes i know but i just want to play the game, a demo would be adequately. I think everyone on this site wants to play it and not to wait for new news and watch videos for a few months. They should send out a demo after E3 for everyone to play with the new physics and on the Nürburgring GP with damage and all the “i hope” finally features like night and weather effects.
Nice, will this work on Nokie N900?
Nice one. Props to Calcifer for his hard work!
That is a cool idea. Will it work on a Blackberry??
Anything planned for S60 v5 touch (Nokia 5800XM or N97)? :)))
GT5 is a suisse knife !
@ElieTheBear – it’s not that your comment was negative, more that is was irrelevant. We all want to play GT5 but this thread is about the iPhone / Android app.
Wonderful idea! thanx for the good work. This will definitely be my first app when i get the iphone in the near future.
Good job man. If possible, an app such as this for GT5 would be awesome.
WinMo port for my TouchPro?
:D
@ElieTheBear: You can’t rationalise your way out this, you made a dick comment and got called out. There is no excuse for putting down the hard work of an individual who did something to better the GT community at no cost to anyone. What have you done lately? Made out with your inflatable Ken Block doll and posted it on YouTube? Bravo.
@Calcifer: Awesome work, this is a fantastic idea and I thoroughly hope you find the motivation to continue your work when GT5 comes out. I used to love hot lapping in GT5:P and your app has given me the motivation to get back in to it!
cant wait to get an iphone, does anyone know of any desktop apps related to Gran Turismo? or maybe a vista sidebar gadget?
@ Wiretap
you said :””If you guys don’t like it, don’t bloody comment on it. There are plenty of people here who will find this app very useful to them.””””””
This is what is all about saying comments you &/%(*? … people who dont like put negative comments … and people who like .. positive comments … your comment on my comment is negative …. because you dont like mine … its like if i tell you not to bloody comment on me !! welcome to earth
@Wiretap
you’re right !!! this is so fucking awsome … !!! I can’t wait to buy a brand new I-phone !! to add this app !! ooo wowww so kool .. !! I have always dreamed of watching top 100 every morning …. at diner … end of the day … wow .. I can’t wait to see the top 100 right now .. at this very moment … because .. this is it .. ! I am positive … hey everybody … !! Just put positive comments so we will never upgrade in life .. lol .. Mr wiretap want positive comments … no negative … we can wait 10 years for gt5 … we are positive people .. yeah … I fell better … thx to you .. positive mate !
I want a version for Nokia 5530 and 5800 series! xD
Nice work
*** sorry, HIS free time
@ElieTheBear
@Tim
I don’t have an iPhone or an Android OS phone, so I have no idea what this like but…
Why do you guys have to be so f**king negative?
Calcifer has given up fis free time and effort to build this app which by the sounds of other users comments seems to be excellent.
If you guys don’t like it, don’t bloody comment on it. There are plenty of people here who will find this app very useful to them.
useless I want to play gt5
*** for jailbroken iphone users ***
refer to my post in the specific thread, to find out how to bypass the 3.1.3 requirement
Wow great work! I will donload the GT5 version when it´s out :)
Couldn’t care less, tbh.
Heh I thought it was official (From PD) but it appears a fellow from GTP! Good work mate!
Not for PSP?
Great idea ! (except of the fact that i’m on a Blackberry XD)
whilst kaz is still making gt5. Test drive unlimited 2 has been pencilled in for a september release in the states. take a look
Awesome stuff. Need to page Joost and Steven to make a WRS app for mobile for GT5 :P
very useful for fans, and that site useful for me too, i follow my drift points from that site with statistics
http://granturismostats.vvvgamer.com/
Just downloaded it now… And it’s awesome.. Easy to navigate and fast…
:-) thanks
don’t have an iphone but that’s very nice
Thx Calcifer you’re pretty awesome for making this bro Jordan u should hook this man up!!!
Wow I’m really impressed, great work man it’s a shame I don’t have an iphone but if i did I’d definately download it, heck if you did one for GT5 I’d be willing to pay for it.
@lado: I think you didn’t read the text, since clearly this has nothing to do with the develpment of GT5.
yes it´s a cool feature but where is the game..
@ phoop .. No, they will develop it before they release GT5.
Yeah, looks nice. Much respect for developing that and sharing it for free, well done.
Great job! Rated on. AppStore. TY
Fantastic work as I said before mate, really impressed with it :)
Props to Calcifer for supporting Android (and its earlier versions).
I gave it 4/5 stars. I will change it to 5 if trackball support is added.
Downloaded its Amazing
but hey we need more new news of GT5!:(
Your place is in PD, man! Great job
Fantastic effort! Keep up the very good work.
Downloaded for Android. Nice work!
Wow! I can’t use it but (no Iphone)
But hey, very professional!
Nice done!
so far the drift scores havent worked for me. Also it needs the concept by gt cars and the tuning shop cars. This matters because those are the cars and modes where i actually have high ranks haha
lol @ NBH
Just been having a play with this and it’s a really good app, much easier and quicker than using the proper website.
I hope a similar idea can be done for GT5 but it will have to be reworked a bit, having a scrolldown list of cars when there are about 1000 would be a nightmare!
wow.. looking good too, from what i see in the screen shots.. clean & professional.. and for free :D
great job Calcifer.. you are a real GT fan
Downloading …
That’s what im talking about !!!
Now can bring the battle to the “street” !!! Everywhere I go I can now check if I need to come back behind the wheel !!!
hehe
Nice, though I don’t even own a iphone (let alone a cell phone lol).
Gonna download right nowww!!!!
That’s genius. I wonder if PD would develop such an app for GT5 after they release the game..
