Stopped working

It’s a fantastic app and it worked really well for the longest time but now it doesn’t save recordings. It used to save them to my photos, but it just completely stopped.

Shuts down and restart by itself often

When using the app, it constantly turns It’s recording off, and I have to close the app and reopen it to start recording again.

It’s great looking set up maybe perfect

Only complaint does record speed limit watching video .,
Like look of it I tried recording with map on screen I love how it shows map on screen and still records while switching in map mode that’s nice option I love it and to use widescreen to record love that feature not many dash cams I tried have widescreen that option is important to have widescreen., I like to see more on phone dash cams have no use location to use speed limit while driving all dash cams I try out and this one requires you enable location to have speed limit enabled on show how fast your going., But one thing I love about it more it still works on operation system 15.5 I refuse to update my phone last time I update my phone my old phone that update took up all space on my phone I deleted eveything and still no space was open on my phone to use that update took it all up that is reason I refuse to use and do updates on my phone and tablet all times and updates are useless comes with trash I will never use can’t be deleted stuff I will never use., It uses Apple Maps maybe for update if there is day decide option for update one not important like it how it uses Apple Maps but have option in dash cam go into your Apple Maps favorites in dash cam shows where your going with gps while recording whole time choose what route to take if I’m going to use Apple Maps I use Apple Maps for gps have dash cam use Apple Maps favorites locations while using it if possible make Apple Maps option more useful in dash cam mode

I’m extremely pleased with this DashCam. Lots of flexibility and controls allows me to determine how I want to use it.

Please add the date and time to the display!

I would love to see the option added to have the date and time displayed on the dash cam while in use And for that information to stay on the display on playback. It would also be nice if the speedometer display showed on the recorded clip. The one time I had an issue with somebody who was drag racing and passed me, and I went to take the clip to show the police, it did not show the speed that I was going so you could not tell how fast the other cars were actually going, and even the police said it would be nice to have that information that shows on the display while you’re driving to show on the recorded clip. In order for my speed to show on the recorded clip, I have to use screen record at the same time I’m using the dash cam. When I do that the speed that I am going while driving shows on the recorded clip. But we really do need the date and time to display on the dash cam while using it and on the clip that is saved it would be very helpful if there is an accident and you have to use that clip to show proof of what happened if the date and time were displayed on the recorded clip. I love this app, but I really would love it much more if they would display the date and time on the dash cam itself while using it, and if that information was visible on the recorded clip as well.
So to the developers, if you are going to make any changes or upgrades to this app, please consider a date and time display at the top so that when using the dash cam and recording that information is on there, so just in case the clip needs to be turned over to the police, they have the information on the date and the time that the incident happened, and the speed we were driving. It would make this app so much better and I really hope you consider doing so.
