Poor amera angle
It can’t record in wide angle even though an iPhone 11 supports 120 degrees.JALLeeKR
Just what I needed!
I’ve been looking to getting a dashcam, but I felt with the phone, my dash will be cluttered. This is a great alternative. It’s intuitive and not a lot of features. I love the fact you cannuse your own navigation apps.Flyppster
One flaw that made this app useless
I just started driving for Lyft and I actually had a situation where a dash cam would have been extremely helpful (violent passengers). That convinced me to get one and I’ve been trying cam after cam to find what I need and I stumbled across this app thinking ‘FINALLY!’
Nope. This app is not able to record UNLESS THE APP ITSELF IS OPEN. Which is ok for normal drivers but rideshare drivers need the rideshare app to be open. So unfortunately as excited as I was, I deleted this app less than an hour later after discovering that =/Show lessLightBriteMillennial
Exactly What You Want Without BLOAT. Simple
I’ve been using the app for 2+ months now with no issues. I go off-roading in my Jeep and two hour trips record no problem. I have an iPhone 13 Pro Max and have no heat issues with the phone (the phone gets warm/hotish but no warning and mine is in a case).
My one complaint (and I hate to call it that because it’s such a first world problem) is that when I “share” a video, even when I snip it down to like 90 seconds long, I takes FOREVER to make the clip. In HD a 90 second video might take 8-10 minutes to download to my photos. Maybe longer. It takes a while. Did I mention it takes too long? Like start the share and go wash your car (or grow a beard). Is it because of the video resolution on the iPhone 13?
Great product. I showed to to friends and now there are at least 4 of using it all the time (especially when off-road).Show lessMC501

Wow what a great fair an honest review! We really appreciate it. We are working on better and improved options for sharing! Right now I always suggest (especially in your situation where you might want the entire video) is to connect your device to a PC or MAC and retrieve the files, through file manager or Finder!Brilliant
My old dash cam was rubbish. It was a Wi-Fi with a rubbish app. I put up with it for too long. Thought I’d try an app until I got a new make of dash cam. Turns out this is unbelievable. A free app that is actually fantastic. Download it and see.
UPDATE. Been using the app for awhile now. It’s still brilliant but over heats the phone after 1 hour of use. So it’s fantastic for short journeys only.Show lessMartin164swift
Okay easy to use app with some bugs and one important missing feature.
The app is straightforward and simplistic.
There is an audio bug which others have expressed when using car pay. The issue is when using CarPlay with the app the vehicle switches from “audio” output type to “voice” output type. Think phone call.
Your car play unit will funnel audio out of one or two front speakers leading to low volume and tinny music and podcasts.
I have been able to work around the issue by starting the driver app first, starting the recording, leaving the app and start music or podcasts then going back to the app and restarting video. This works 85% of the time but is finicky and doesn’t always work first shot.
The HUGE missing feature is the ability to record video using the wide angle lens. Dash cams have a larger FOV to capture vehicles at intersections. Only being able to use the main lens is problematic because it cuts out huge areas that would accurately show an incident.
This to me is an obvious flaw and one I’m hoping the developers will fix. Not sure if the developers can fix the audio issue though as it seems like it could be a problem with vehicle manufacture head units deciphering what is being connected. This is why it may not happen to some people.Show lessBlack Allen

Hello there! Thank you for your honest review. Yes the audio issues with CarPlay sometimes stem from different vehicles having their own volume levels. We have actually made a lot of work towards this is some of the coming updates, especially when not trying to record audio simultaneously. The issue with the wide angle lens is not as easy because not all phones have the same wide angle capabilities so we decided to focus on the regular camera first.Newbie
I just downloaded this app and tested it out in my living room, a few adjustments for sound and two way recording, however, my concern is this: I will be using this app for our drive from Alaska to the lower 48, THROUGH Canada, is it possible that the roadside assistance will be available in Canada?? It’s not s big deal but it could be useful.Show lessalfman50
Good App
Been using the app for about a week. Love the video quality, and the ease of navigating the app. I wish the route shown on the map would show some correlation between location shown on the map and the actual position on the video.
I have not yet tried to use the navigation feature, as my car has GPS overload with built in NAV, and Waze, Google, etc. available on CarPlay.Show lessColoradoParrothead
Does not work properly
If you use navigation from the app button it stops recording when you switch to gps.AxelDoo
