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

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.

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.

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.

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!

Download not working

When I stop recording, click on download, it would not work. And when I open the app again, the screen looks black or blank. Please help!!!

doesn’t work

this app doesn’t work as described. video recorded by the app failed to incorporate navigational data. Even its companion app, Dashcam Player, indicated the recording had no data on it. I believe, the built in Camera app does a much better job.

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.

Works, great, free (actually free)

This works great and it’s free. Nice feature set, simple to use, has the features you’d want in a dash cam app.

You can, you need to run your navigation App in the background.

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.

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

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.

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.

Thanks for the long review :) The App already records everything you ask for, please enable watermarking (overlay) to record speed data and time on top of the video. This driving information is also embedded as a track in the video, use the free DashCam Player App to playback videos and see this information on the screen. DashCam Player shows where the video was recorded on a map, even your old DashCam Recorder videos have this embedded information. Success !

This is so useful

I hate needing a dash cam and my phone. It’s yet another device that I have to keep up with. This app is perfect because it solves that. Frankly, this is what goes in all of our family cars.
