User Reviews: Dashcam for your Bike

Top reviews

  • Submit to 311 disappeared

    The share to 311 randomly disappeared in my app.
  • Life changing. And will probably save lives.

    It used to enrage me to see cars casually
    Blocking the bike lane, making me half to risk getting run over by traffic. Not anymore. I can report them in seconds. Favorite part of my day.
  • Finally!! Yes!

    So happy to have an easy way to report bike lane violations. This is a game changer.
  • Easy to use

    This app, especially paired with the accompanying mount, is super easy to use. It takes me a few seconds before each ride to start recording and it’s fun to watch clips from recent rides.
  • Great app, horrible theme

    All of the other reviews are correct: this app is a godsend! However I do not get the peculiar choice to engineer a horrible theme instead of using the system theme. It looks cheap and awful but the UX is still clear. The design for the low power mode screen is incredible though.

    Developer Response

    We've refreshed our UX and would love for your feedback on our updated design!
  • A great utility app

    Downloaded this app a few months ago, but hadn’t been able to use it until recently.
    With just the included tutorial in the app, I quickly learned the basic functions to Record, Mark, and Stop recording multiple times mid-ride.
    Paired with their latest mount, it worked perfectly. Contacted support for a mount question, got a prompt response, and additional tips to practice.
    When in Standby, it indeed uses minimal power. Started with a fully charged phone, and after a 4:00+ hour ride (which also used navigational app and messaging app) the battery was only down to 52% remaining.
    Great for capturing POV ride perspective (and narration if you wish) and also potential unpleasant encounters with other vehicles. The video provides a time/date stamp as well as speed indicator.
  • Practical for everyday use

    I have been using Dashcam for your bike now for over a year. It is very user friendly and has just the right complexity to use it without looking and taking your attention off the road.

    The developers are constantly fine tuning the app so it is getting better all the time.

    The battery saving feature is pretty key otherwise no phone battery could handle this kind of use. I also like the 311 feature that allows me to send parking violations or defective bike infrastructure straight to my city’s department of mobility.

    Just well thought through.
  • Great app for safety and advocacy

    This is a great app for CYA while biking but I use it almost daily for easily sending 311 reports on street and sidewalk conditions and to grab photos and videos to annoy my elected city officials and mobility department leaders! A great conversation starter too when other people spot me recording!
  • Surprisingly great video footage

    I used the bike mount made by the app developer and was surprised how stable and high quality the footage was! App is easy to use and despite not knowing what buttons to press, i easily recorded my first ride. Really happy to have this for my rides.
  • Amazing: improve infrastructure & share rides

    Wow y’all! As a city commuter, I’ve always been frustrated that I can’t share what happens on my rides (scary or cool) and this app makes it so easy. The bonus is that in PGH and other cities you can also share issues with your city’s 311. After I heard this company helped get money to improve a bike lane, I was sold! Cyclists should be able to easily share problems, since we’re on the roads too!
