Does what it says

However I don’t understand how when using the map your supposed to set a destination? Plus you can’t just use your usual map app like google maps or Waze

Response from developer

You set your destination in Apple maps (works the best, but Waze and Google work too), then switch to DashCam recorder. When you show the map in the App you see where you are while you receive driving instructions and record video 👍

Could have been 5 stars, but there are some glitches

First of all, love this app. It does what it’s supposed to do. Straight to the point, no BS.

But there are some glitches after the recent updates that have been bugging me. Whenever I switched to another app while using the dash cam, the screen turned black and couldn’t connect back to the camera after that. I could go on without switching apps, but it also happened when I received phone calls, which is unavoidable. There were some instances that I was driving, someone from my family called me, which I had to pick up, and it instantly blacked out the dash cam. Couldn’t reconnect while driving. Which is quite inconvenient.

Could dev team fix this? Please.

Thanks for the feedback !! A new update is in the works, it's on the list. Do you have the black privacy screen enabled by any chance? Please reach out using the contact form on dashcam.cam 👍

Great App

Tons of features. Very intuitive design. Beautiful.

Response from developer

Thanks 👍!

just what I’ve been looking for

This app does everything I wanted in a dash cam. I am 100% satisfied. Beyond the features and ability to use an old cell phone, the developer respects my privacy - I appreciate that - a lot! I will recommend this to family and friends. I will also encourage users to buy a good mount; windshield or dash - a cheap mount will produce jittery images, not due to the app but rather the mount.

Response from developer

Thanks! Good advice, you need a good mount and ideally position it so the iPhone is in a cooler place during the summer, high on the windscreen in the airflow , or low on the dashboard over/near an airvent.

Simple and easy to use and navigate.
Thank you 🌹
