Does a great job for an app on a phone

So far I am impressed and there is no annoying adds. I like you can control how it is saved, as clips, or a loop that you control the size of. Good job guys!

Great app

I set this up on an unused iPhone 14+. I activated the voice commands and that works perfectly. The only thing I suggest is to allow the voice command to add either static or custom text to the image or video caption field so that it can be quickly found among all the other videos and images. For example, if I have a close call, I would like to be able to say “save video close call”and have the video tagged with those last two words. Or, just add the word “Saved” to that field. It is an excellent app and a great way to repurpose an old iPhone.

Response from developer

Thanks for the great feedback, I will add it for the next version !

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.

Response from developer

Did you try removing it completely and downloading again? It's likely an issue with permission settings, just start over and it should work fine, otherwise please reach out, see dashcam.cam

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.

Response from developer

Hi there, could it be a memory shortage on your iPhone? Try to remove the App completely and download it again so all settings are "factory" standard, make sure you give the App permission to access Photo's, Camera, and Location data. Otherwise visit dashcam.cam for the feedback form to provide more details. Thanks!

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

Response from developer

Thanks for the great review! You could even enable Apple Navigation for spoken route directions, and then switch to the DashCam App with its own Map. You record video, while you receive directions and have the map in front of you. If you have an older iPhone which runs iOS 9.0+ look for "Movies and Maps Recorder". Also check out the macOS App "DashCam Player" so you can relate the recorded video to a route and position on the map.
