### 3/5 — Не те

*2024-10-27, version 4.1*

1 Не працює у фоновому режимі. 2 Блокує передачу музики з телефону по блютуз 3 Пише аудіо при відключенні. 4 Не може розширити на екран навігатор, чи реєстратор. 5 Немає звиклих налаштувань реєстратора. Перший раз кажу нажаль за те що купив про….

### 3/5 — I liked old version better

*2024-05-10*

Happy for any bug fixes, thank you!

However, I really don’t like not being able to hide the navigation. With this new version, half the screen is taken up with navigation, which is a feature I never use. Prior version allowed navigation feature to be hidden and opened if needed. Please give me a way to have the navigation hidden and the dash cam full screen.

I DO like having the buttons on the grey background. Much easier to see them at a glance. I would also like the “dim” button down at the bottom in the grey area. Also, an option to automatically dim after recording starts would be nice.

### 3/5 — H. White

*2024-03-18*

I have an iPhone X.  I’m not able to use the front camera.  The app doesn’t allow me the option to use the front camera.  I have a friend who has the iPhone 13 who is able to use the front camera. Any assistance in this situation will be appreciated.  Thank you

### 3/5 — Good, but serious issues

*2023-10-10*

By far the best dash cam app I’ve found so far, but there are some issues that make day-to-day use difficult. 

Cons:
1. (MAJOR) Exporting large clips does NOT work. I’ve had to turn off the map overlay and set my clips to 1 minute just to successfully export
2. Can not listen to music app while mic is recording
3. If you quickly exit the app and reenter, the recording ends after the set duration and does not auto-continue until the app is forcefully quit

Pros:
1. Can customize how many clips to save/recycle
2. Fantastic video quality
3. Can simultaneously record with front and back camera
4. Interface is simple to use

### 2/5 — App freezes

*2022-08-15*

App works fine when used alone. The problem I’ve experienced is the app freezes if CarPlay is active or if a second app (Music) is activated. For me that makes the app unusable.

### 4/5 — Only for 2 issues

*2022-03-19*

Only for 2 issues I would have given a 5 star ⭐️ rating, this is so far the BEST DASHCAM app that I have tried, you need to resolve only 2 issues which is the recordings stop 🛑 if you make a phone call and the interference with the GPS on Apple Car Play  unless you figure out how to project the GPS on CarPlay because otherwise you can’t use the GPS from Google Maps or AppleMaps

### 2/5 — Can’t turn phone in opposite positions.

*2021-09-26*

Please write the code so that we can flip the camera upside down and view the video in an upright position.

**Developer response:** Application correctly turn video if your device uses iOS version 13.0 or newer. If you have an old device that cannot be upgraded to 13.0 or newer - we recommend you to get a new one. Apple included lots of API improvements regarding video orientations in version of iOS 13 - so you will enjoy if you will upgrade! Drive safely!

### 2/5 — Careful, they think they own your videos…

*2021-06-10*

So far this is the best iPhone DashCam app I’ve found but the interface is awkward and they use icons for their own meaning with little regard to what the rest of the world thinks they mean.

My biggest complaint is their on screen branding of my trips in the version I paid for. I resent their using something I FREAKING PAID FOR to advertise their app!! Now I don’t care if they include their information in the meta tags, but if I bought the app, which I did, I don’t expect their branding on each and every freaking frame!!!

At best they will remove the branding or a fair option would be to allow the user to decide if it is included!

Will I use the app again? Nope, and as soon as it shows up as paid for I will go for a refund. I will also make a point of making sure others know about this tacky behavior!

### 3/5 — Needs work

*2021-04-08*

First of all this app has a lot of potential and could be one of the best dash cams if a few bugs are worked out.

Good
1. Interface is decent once you familiarize yourself with the app 
2. Overwriting old files is customizable
3. Video with GPS and map overlay is handy
4. Exporting video

Bad
1. Audio recording does not work
2. In app settings do not always save 
3. Speed limit sign detector seldom works correctly

### 3/5 — First Impression

*2020-03-03*

Like what I see.  Would like to be able to delete history at history view.  Also would prefer if the map would reflect the map application I’m running at the same time as this app.  I need an app that runs gps map directions with voice AND is a dash cam at the same time.

### 4/5 — jediná umí široký záběr 120° / only cam that can record 120°

*2019-11-17, version 3.5*

English below.
Hledal jsem v App Store kameru pro záznam jízdy, která by uměla využí ultraširoký záběr z kamery iPhone 11 stejně, jako to mají samostatné kamery do auta. Bohužel to žádná neuměla. Obeslal jsem tedy vývojáře a výrobce této aplikace obratem tuto možnost doplnil!

Ze široké kamery jsem nadšený. Kamera zaznamená i auta, které jedou po stranách😍. Takhle záznam dostane nový rozměr.

Nicméně, široká kamera má svoje limity - za tmy toho nevidí tolik jako ta normální, ale záznam použitelný je. 
Také bych uvítal automatické zamčení nahrávky po nárazu přes G senzor.

Nicméně možnost používat široký záběr rozhodla a tak jsem si vybral tuhle apku. Už jen doufám, že záznam nebudu potřebovat, ale kdyby jo, myslím, že na něm to důležité rozhodně bude vidět.

ENGLISH

This seem to be the only app that can record with the ultra-wide camera on iPhone 11. I have tried to contact all developers but only this one was abele to bring this feature within few days.

I must admit that using 120° ultra wide angle is awesome. In spite that this cam has few disadvantages (a little worse in night) I love it.

I just wish that the app could lock the recording during an accident automatically (using G sensor), and also there is one switch during video playing which I do not know what it does.

Anyway I love this app and I send my thanks to developer who was able to add this feature so swiftly.

### 1/5 — Не работает

*2019-03-01*

Деньги на ветер, вылетает постоянно, не сохраняет и не воспроизводит, крайне не доволен!

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Не рекомендую

*2026-03-03*

Поддержка приложения не ведётся. Оно вылетает. Карта не масштабируется автоматически. В общем ерунда, не тратьте деньги

### 1/5 — ОБМАН!!!!

*2025-08-20*

Купил лицензию, она даже не скачивается, поддержка молчит, никакой связи, приложение весь день в стадии загрузки!!!!верните деньги !!!!!

### 1/5 — Ganoven

*2025-08-06, version 4.2*

Bloß nicht kaufen. Es gibt keine Geschäftsbedingungen, keinen Vertrag, keine Möglichkeit zur kostenlosen Probezeit mit Rückgabe. Den Datenschutz und Netzagentur melden

### 1/5 — I liked old version better

*2024-05-21*

Happy for any bug fixes, thank you!

I’ve used this new version for a few days now and I’m sad to say that I really hate that navigation takes up half the screen even when it is not being used. Prior version allowed navigation to be hidden and the dashcam was full screen. This change is awful. Allow the dashcam to be full screen.

I DO like having the buttons on the grey background. Much easier to see them at a glance. I would also like the “dim” button down at the bottom in the grey area. 

Features I would like:

An option to automatically dim the display after recording starts.

Option to save rear facing video and map videos separately from the forward facing video, with important information on each (date, time, gps coordinates). When the map and rear facing video are enabled in the export they are superimposed over the main view, which blocks a lot of the view.

### 1/5 — Crashes on Export

*2022-12-13*

This app fails to export.  It crashes every time I attempt to export / share a saved recording.

Once this serious bug is fixed, I will raise my star rating.

iOS 15.7.1 on a iPhone 13 Pro.

### 1/5 — Overheats my iPhone 12 max pro after 20 minutes

*2021-04-22*

Useless.

### 1/5 — Awful interface and not a lot of customization.

*2020-07-29*

I'm really surprised that this is so bad. First you can't view the video in a full screen it's split with navigation in the app and very tiny. Second you have to export the video but it's gets about half way and then aborts. Export is also ridiculously slow. Third you shouldn't have to export the video it should just write the video to the gallery. Lastly, it's hard to even figure out how to enable the tiny export icon. Stupid me I bought this after looking at the video quality in the lite version. I shouldn't have assumed you could just view the video from the gallery without having to export. My recommendation is save your money and look elsewhere. This Dashcam app is poorly written and not user friendly.

### 1/5 — No graba  bien

*2019-12-29*

No graba bien segun uno la prende y no esta grabando muchas grabaciones no estan de todo el recorrido que hace uno desde que segun prendes la grabación si corrigieran ese problema la aplicación seria buena pero imaginen que en el momento de esos que no graba hay un accidente de nada sirvió tener grabando pongo una estrella por que de plano tengo que poner una para poder publicar

### 1/5 — Poorly developed

*2019-10-29, version 3.3.1*

Too many problems . Every time you receive calls it disconnects . You can’t listen to music on your phone via blue tooth. Doesn’t work with auto rotate . I’ve written to the company several times and they never reply.

I just tried your updated version . I still see some problems .
1. Auto rotate works now but the picture is upside down ! 
2. When I try to listen to music on my phone while recording your app either freezes or stops working 
3. When receive a phone call while recoding app stops however doesn’t come back automatically when the call is ended ! I need to restart myself while driving which is not a safe option !

### 1/5 — Not worth the time or cost

*2019-08-30*

The title says it all.

**Developer response:** It would be helpful if you provide more details on what the problem is. We would be able to address it in that case.

### 5/5 — Mapa

*2024-12-01, version 4.1*

El mapa aparece en todo momento y no logro quitarlo

### 5/5 — Route options

*2022-09-10, version 4.0.1*

I don’t drive highways anymore. I can’t find an option to avoid highways. Please help  thank you

### 5/5 — Dashcam

*2022-01-29, version 3.8*

English: (česky níže) If you need to convert iPhone to smart dashcam or smart navigation. This app is simply the best. The app is well tuned and does not suffer from bugs. It is the only app where 4K videos are without holes. The video quality is very good, much better than with classic dashcam. The support is realy amazing.
 Pokud vás taky napadlo z (starého) Iphone udělat palubní kameru, tak tato aplikace je nejlepší z celého app storu. Natáčí ve 4K, neseká se, a nemá prodlevy mezi videi. Doporučuji max délku videa 5 minut, kvůli exportu. Kvalita videí je daleko lepší než z klasické 4K palubní kamery, prostě iphone má kvalitní HW, s tím se žádná kamera za 4-5 tisíc nemůže rovnat. Používám magnetický držák vyrobený na 3D tiskárně.

### 5/5 — Good

*2020-04-27, version 3.7*

Very good app, I wish there would be option to mute navigation sounds.

### 5/5 — Fast die beste Dashcam-App, aber...

*2020-02-13, version 3.6.1*

Grundsätzlich eine sehr gute Dashcam App, mit allen wichtigen Funktionen, die eine Dashcam haben sollte. 4 Sterne der sonst 5 gibt es nur wegen kleineren Punktabzügen in der Bedienung. 🙃

Diese Punkte können mit Sicherheit noch abgestellt werden, damit es dann volle 5 Sterne gibt  😊😉

1. was verbirgt sich hinter den Videoqualitäten „High, Medium, Low“? Vielleicht eine Erläuterung in der App mit Angaben in „Mb/s“ 🙃. Bzw. eine Auflösung benennen, 1080p, 720p, 480p. 

2. Es gibt leider das Problem, wenn keine GPS Daten zum aufgezeichneten Video verfügbar sind, das dieses Video dann leider nicht abspielbar ist. Man kann es leider auch nicht extern sichern. 😕 Unschöner Bug, wenn wichtige Daten in dem Video sind, diese aber dadurch verloren sind. 

3. Eine Schnellwahltaste zum Schützen der laufenden Aufnahme wäre sehr schön. Damit man nicht umbedingt während der Fahrt im Menü rumklicken muss und das Videomaterial zu schützen vor dem Überschreiben. 💁‍♂️👍 

4. Stereo Tonaufnahmen wären bestimmt auch möglich und Zeitgemäß bei aktuellen Smartphones. 🤭 Auch die Auswahlmöglichkeit der Videoqualität von bis zu 4k. 

Grüße,
Roddy

### 5/5 — A gravação fica muito boa.

*2019-02-12*

Parabéns pelo app. A imagem é muito boa e ainda podemos deixa a rota gravada.

### 5/5 — Best. Dash-cam. Period.

*2016-01-01*

This is great! They must have read what the complaints were for all other apps, and made a superior dash cam.  Works great with 9.2.  Battery power does not seem to be a huge drain.  Three size quality settings.  Manual and auto focus. Mic that turns off. Gps shows your route. Can auto start. Archives. Can store between 5 and 100 before exporting.  Records driving speed. Compass is helpful for driving.  Pandora and bluetooth works in background.  Calls come though and pause video.  Audibly can hear a text comes through without interrupting recording. Only $3.  A couple of wishes on the next update... That the speed and/or compass would export.  Maybe data on your trip since it logs it. The ability to shut the screen off, with a red dot or something that shows it is still recording, or super low transparency.  Maybe a direction indicator choice instead of a real compass.  Great job coding!

### 4/5 — Update is awesome, but still some issues

*2024-05-19*

By far the best dash cam app I’ve found, but some minor issues make use a little awkward. 

 Pros: 
1. Can customize how many clips to save/recycle 
2. Fantastic customizable video quality 
3. Can simultaneously record with front and back camera 
4. Interface is simple to use
5. Exporting large clips is super fast

 Cons:
1. Can not listen to music while mic is recording
2. No way to close navigation which takes up half of the screen

### 4/5 — Worth it

*2023-06-04, version 4.0.4*

I really enjoy this app for my traffic work.
One feature I’d like to see it having the height above sea level displayed as an option.

### 4/5 — Great app good support

*2022-07-29*

I started off with lite, moved to pro had a question got reply within 24 hours. 
It is good on an old 6S the only thing that bugs me is the storage setting. 

Would prefer if it asked how much space it should leave on your phone to save guessing how much you think it will need. 
If you guess wrong then it stops recording. 

I know guys that are developers of Apple apps and they say this app rates well. 
They also say don’t expect instant updates to any apps because the developer might be fast but Apple checking is not. 

So app dude, do your best to update the size guessing.
