Leave a Review Driver
A tutorial?
Hey I’ve just started to use this app and see the people commenting about a few things that I feel like could be fixed. I believe that if you guys include a tutorial for this app showing the users how to prevent over heating and where to go to find the videos, over all explanation on how the app works would be really useful! I wouldn’t force users to have to watch the tutorial, like a lot of apps it pops up and you can either watch it or skip it.
I had just started driving and when I looked into the library it only had a few seconds of video recorded but the whole trip was there, I’m assuming since nothing happened it was deleted? Again something that could be explained if you gave a tutorial with it app.
How to help prevent the phone from over heating? I would include a service to connect the app to the car via Bluetooth so it can do more then just record, and the sensors are aligned with how the car is actually being operated.
I also wouldn’t mind knowing where the best place to set the phone in the car you are using, ie it scans your windshield and shows you through the app where the phone would work best. Just some ideas! I’m enjoying it so far!!!Show lessWhy12312345

Hello! First off, thank you so much for the kind review! We are actively trying to improve our user's experience and we are glad yours has been positive! We are currently working on including tutorials available directly from the app just like you mentioned! We think it is important to provide resources that are readily available, but not required. We would love to learn more about the trip gallery and how the trips are viewed as well as your current setup (vehicle, mount placement, etc.) so we can better assist you with your phone overheating. If you could, please give us the details at support@driverdashcam.com and we can work on a solution for you! Thank you again!Good but…
I’ve found this app useful land it does work as advertised, however to fully make this a one stop app I’d build maps into the app and add a gps speedometer. I’m having to use a second phone just for that. I do understand this app is constantly being worked on so hopefully these are added in a future release.Show lessRycon17
What a waste of time…
Videos stay inside the app, sharing is a single frame that you can air drop, email or sms. I’m fairly certain that if you contact the company and pay a fee you’ll be able to download your videos…
Luckily I did a test drive before our trip and discovered that either the company thinks they own your videos or the CEO’s stepson doesn’t understand how to save video to the photo’s app or the cloud!
Next, the UI is a failure, it should be simple and intuitive for an app like this but it isn’t. Start recording and the stop recording becomes a little tiny square with the time current trip duration.
I don’t know who wrote these 5 star reviews but I think everyone knows each other as in family or employees!!!Show lessranTrek
It’s ok. Here’s How it could be better…
1. Let me configure the default navigation app in the settings, so when I click the navigation icon it automatically opens Waze rather than showing me a list of installed and downloadable navigation apps.
2. When I click on the navigation icon, shrink the the video screen into the corner of Waze so that I can see the map. Also keep recording while doing so. This would be the ideal use of the app. I don’t want or need to see what my camera is recording while driving. I just want confirmation that recording is on while using Waze.
3. The toggle options in settings are hard to distinguish. Change from shades of gray to other colors so that it’s easier to see what settings are configured for saving videos, etc…
If the above could be implemented then this would be a five star app. Essentially I want Waze and dashcam app to work at the same time.Show lessJimbalaya71

Hello! Thank you for the feedback! We are always looking to improve our users' experience so we take your concerns seriously!! I'm absolutely with you in that I need to have both Google Maps and dash cam running at the same time whenever I'm in a vehicle. Your desired experience is 100% the experience that we're trying to get at. In fact, what you're currently experiencing with this iteration of the app is us trying to get around some of the restrictions that Apple has placed on video recording apps. They unfortunately do not allow any apps to record in the background while another app is running. We've actually just submitted a special request to Apple asking for permission to be exempt as we're a driving safety tool! Fingers crossed. As for the toggling options, that's a great suggestion and I've shared it with our team. So, thank you! I'd actually love to continue on the conversation with you as we'd love to hear more of your thoughts! Would you be open to emailing us at support@driverdashcam.com? Thank you again!!App worked great for the most part...
...until last week when I would turn my music on my phone and then turn the recording on the app and the music starts playing very faintly through the phone and not the Bluetooth receiver. Disappointed because I didn’t have this problem until recently and I’ve been using this app for months. I was hoping there would be an app update but there currently isn’t one. This keeps happening I’m going to have to find another way to record my drivesShow lesscjakatala
Great app
Been using this app and I love it. Now days it gives you that extra protection on the road and the navigation is great. Would recommend this to everyone. I know the developers put time and thought into this app. Great jobsportsjrr
A struggle to get working
It does record, but sometimes my phone will turn off for no reason while the app is on, and sometimes I can’t reopen the app, it just sits stuck in the load mode. Plus if you delete the app, you lose your driver history, even if you created an account. And it takes forever for your video to load anyways. Just a mediocre dash cam app, will begin using another app for sure now. I never make reviews, but this app frustrated me enough for me to create a review.
UPDATE: There are 3 constants in life: Death, Taxes, and Driver app stuck in the Green loading screenShow lessgrantjonathan
Need video clip setting time
Apps work great. I am new on this. I read about this apps on internet it said that the clip will save after record 15 minutes of record then start a new clip. Not working
Other apps can save clip variable time from 1 3,5 etc...minutes. I love to see that option setting in the apps. Thanks in advanceShow lessLdraginp
The Winner !
I looked at every dash cam app in the Apple store. This one by far exceeds all others. The interface and recording screen is easy to use and understand. The dual camera recording is awesome. You can stop and start recording at will. I also love that fact you can share the videos and upload them to my OneDrive Storage.
However, the app is missing some key features I would love to see in the near future and the only reason they missed that elusive 5 star rating.
Here they Are...
1. Date Time Location on recorded on Video
2. Location on Map tracking while playing back in app.
3. A PC app to playback and see all
4. Touch screen picture capture
Modified: I decided to give them a 5 star and hope these features and many more show up in a future version.
Keep up the Great Work !
Can’t wait to see how much I can save on insurance.Show lessPoker Great
Great app as a work in progress!
I’ll have to say, so far, my experience with using the app hasn’t been great. However, the developers have proven so far to be interested in improving!
We addressed most of my previous concerns. Apple has placed multiple restrictions on how the app functions in the background... which explains why it crashes when other apps are active.
Not yet up to 5 stars, but I’m excited to see how things will improve and if I can aid in the process. 5 stars in the works!Show less1212458272649
