### 5/5 — Super Aplikacja!

*2026-04-30, version 1.4*

Super aplikacja jeżeli nie chcesz wydawać 500 zł na kamerkę samochodową.

### 5/5 — The basics done well

*2021-07-23, version 1.4*

If all you want, like me, is a dash cam app that reports your speed, location, date and time, then this app is perfect. The adverts are not invasive (usually just one when you start the app) and the interface although clunky is straightforward and easy to use. 

You do need to plug your phone in, and for 1080 video you will need many dozens of gigabytes of free space, but the fact that it doesn’t charge you to share the video straight to your album (where you can trim down or delete the video) is surprisingly refreshing after using a previous app which charged for movie export, updated, then wanted to charge a second time.

### 3/5 — Praca w tle

*2020-07-09, version 1.4*

Brak pracy w tle, oraz możliwości wybrania opcji nagrywania w 60kl./s Gdyby to było to można spokojnie za nią zaplacic

### 2/5 — Brak tła

*2019-10-05, version 1.4*

Brak możliwości pracy w tle

### 3/5 — Praca w tle.

*2019-02-06, version 1.4*

Czekam na pracę aplikacji w tle. Jak będzie to 5 gwiazdek będzie :)

### 2/5 — Dużo do poprawy

*2019-01-08, version 1.4*

Nie można wyłączyć mikrofonu podczas nagrywania, mało intuicyjna

### 3/5 — Not too bad

*2016-09-03, version 1.4*

It's pretty good. Just does the basics cleanly. It lacks a photo button though and the speed text needs to be larger.

### 5/5 — 5 star

*2015-12-13, version 1.3*

Truely not the best but still takes great video logs; location, speed, date on screen,". Adjustable screen sizes which you can manage your phone spaces. Great app!

### 3/5 — Loop

*2015-11-14, version 1.3*

This app is simple and pretty easy to use.  You can save Video to camera roll. It has options on time, location and speed to be recorded on video. 

It shows you how much video time is left.  I feel it is more like a GoPro camera to record rather than a dash cam since it doesn't loop.   If they can have the option of 5, 15 or 30 min. Loop times it would get 5 stars.

### 4/5 — Very good free app

*2015-02-27, version 1.3*

Not the best , but easy set up and useful

### 1.4 — 2016-02-17

This app has been updated by Apple to display the Apple Watch app icon.

We are listing to your ideas. So lets go, this is it:
1. You can tap on resolution to change it to another one - now only supported resolutions will show (including 4K on iPhones 6S and newer) [thanks Tienenaar]
2. "Our Apps" button now works on iOS9. [thanks Kejti]
3. Application will now properly ask for GPS permission (we use GPS only when recording now)
4. Reverse geocoding has been added (location names based on GPS position). It requires internet connection and refresh every 60s. More options coming soon.
Please use in-app support button to send new ideas or report problems. We appreciate any suggestions. Remember to rate our app in AppStore - every star is important for us.

-- POLISH --
1. Można dotknąć rozdzielczości by zmienić ją na inną - teraz tylko wspierane przez Twoje urządzenie zostaną pokazane (w tym 4K na iPhonach 6S lub nowszych).
2. Przycisk "Nasze aplikacje" działa także na iOS9.
3. Aplikacja teraz poprawnie zapyta o prawa do GPSa (używamy go tylko w czasie nagrywania).
4. Dodano nazwę lokalizacji na podstawię pozycji GPS. Jest ona odświeżana co ok. 60s oraz wymaga połączenia z internetem. Więcej opcji wkrótce.
Prosimy korzystać z przycisku w aplikacji do przesyłania nowych pomysłów oraz zgłaszania problemów. Dziękujmy za wszelakie sugestie. Prosimy pamiętać o ocenieniu naszej aplikacji w AppStore - każda wystawiona gwiazdka ma dla nas duże znaczenie.
