## What is Dashcam?

Dashcam turns your iPhone into a powerful car dashboard camera. Record your drives in high definition, store videos securely on your device, and have evidence ready when you need it most.

KEY FEATURES:

- HIGH-QUALITY RECORDING
Capture video in 720p, 1080p, or stunning 4K resolution. Choose the quality that fits your storage needs.

- SIMPLE ONE-TAP RECORDING
Start and stop recording with a single tap. The app keeps your screen awake while recording so you never miss a moment.

- LOCAL VIDEO LIBRARY
All recordings are saved directly to your device. Browse, preview, and manage your videos in one place.

- STORAGE MANAGEMENT
See exactly how much space your recordings use. Easily delete old videos to free up storage.

- PRIVACY FIRST
Your videos stay on your device. No cloud uploads, no accounts, no data sharing.

PERFECT FOR:
- Documenting accidents and incidents
- Capturing scenic drives
- Creating video evidence for insurance claims
- Monitoring new drivers

HOW IT WORKS:
1. Mount your phone on your dashboard or windshield
2. Open Dashcam and tap the record button
3. Drive with confidence knowing every moment is captured
4. Access your recordings anytime from the library

NOTES:
- Continuous recording may generate large files. Ensure you have sufficient storage.
- For best results, use a phone mount and car charger.
- Recording with 4K uses significantly more storage than 720p.

## Version history (last 4 releases)

### 1.0.8 — 2026-06-24

Camera & Recording
- Landscape Mode Support: The camera UI now dynamically adapts when you tilt your phone sideways, relocating the record button for easier thumb access.
- Orientation Locking: When you tap record, the app natively locks your screen orientation (Landscape or Portrait) so your video is predictably recorded without unwanted flips.
- Current Speed Display: Added a live speedometer overlay (in m/s) directly on the camera recording screen.
- Automatic Collision & Hard Braking Detection: Integrated expo-sensors to track sudden G-force spikes (crashes) and rapid deceleration (hard braking), which automatically influence your driving score.

Trip Analytics & Data
- Trip Safety Score: An algorithm now calculates a score out of 100 based on driving behaviors like speeding and hard braking.
- Analytics Dashboard: Added an interactive "Analytics" tab in the video preview sheet that beautifully presents your safety score and driving event tallies.

Interactive Preview Sheet
- Animated Tabs: Built a smooth, Reanimated-powered tab system to easily switch between your recorded Video, the Map of your journey, and your Analytics.
- Smart Video Aspect Ratio: Videos recorded in Landscape now intelligently format themselves into a widescreen 16:9 player instead of being forced into a narrow box.

Stability & Bug Fixes
- Fixed Startup Crashes: Resolved a hard crash occurring during app launch caused by react-native-reanimated worklets executing on the UI thread prematurely.
- Fixed Invisible Tabs: Resolved a layout issue where the Map and Analytics views were hiding behind one another.
