### 4/5 — Many metrics in this app

*2024-07-20*

In addition to the speed, there is an altimeter. This is useful and seems accurate. The compass is also good. I’d like to magnify certain parameters to make it better for my poor eyesight.

### 5/5 — Speedometer—A well-designed App.

*2023-07-23*

What’s not to like? It is accurate, aesthetically pleasing, and its feature for logging certain data related to your use of a vehicle—or another’s use of the vehicle in which you are a passenger!—is useful, revealing.

### 4/5 — Great App!!

*2023-07-06*

I only wish I could zero the top speed. Can only reset trip info. Other than that it’s great! Seems very accurate!

### 5/5 — 要是能有滑翔伞高度表功能就更好了，能省很多钱

*2023-02-24*

### 5/5 — 五星为了让你们看见

*2022-10-09*

高铁压根测不了时速！！！哪来那么多好评！渣渣

**Developer response:** 感谢使用我们的app。由于建筑物和交通工具的金属会遮挡GPS信号，请在室内或火车车厢以及机舱靠窗座位使用。如果信号不好，请把手机尽可能贴近玻璃。

### 4/5 — Full black basic dial is gone

*2022-07-16*

I miss rhe basic dial with only white font on black background. Please bring it again and I‘ll give 5 stars!!

### 5/5 — 在高铁上用不了

### 3/5 — Interruption

*2022-01-19*

At the critical times where I need to see my speed hence speed cameras 20 mile an hour speed cameras advertisements no warning 10 out of 10 for the concert 4 out of 10 for performance due to interruptions

### 3/5 — Nice app but ads distract when driving

*2022-01-04*

App looks great, and has some nice features. However, the author’s choice to monetize it via pop-up ads is a definite disadvantage to using it while driving.  The app’s display is lost to adverts which have to be dismissed via their ‘X’ or close button, which as we all now know, is in a different position for each advertiser. It is certainly not something I want to be searching for while driving - so while it is a good app, I don’t recommend it for driving when we should be concentrating on the road.

### 5/5 — The app

*2021-12-21*

It is very nice at tracking your speed

### 3/5 — Mr John Hughes

*2021-11-15*

Quite brilliant app. Well designed, excellent graphics, and superbly user friendly.

### 5/5 — Best App for planes

*2021-10-04*

This app is my favourite app because it measures the speed of my aircraft that am flying Like the Cessna 172 for example 👍👍❤️❤️❤️🛫

### 3/5 — 没有信号

*2021-09-14*

为什么总是搜不到信号？雷达站图标显示红色

**Developer response:** 感谢使用我们的app。室外或靠窗位置才能接收到信号。

### 1/5 — 测不了速

*2024-06-08*

根本测不了速，什么lj玩意

### 1/5 — Free version is kinda useless

*2024-03-09*

The app looks nice but the free version keeps playing a video ad every five minutes. If you have a music app playing , it cuts it off. I don’t mind an ad on a free app, but to make it a video ad is super annoying and there is no skip!

### 1/5 — 无法使用

*2023-12-30*

骗人的软件，根本就没用，速度不显示

### 1/5 — You had one job….

*2023-10-05*

And that was show speed. I know I’m doing about 300. That’s not 0. F*ing useless

### 1/5 — 没反应，用不了

*2023-02-27*

没有任何反应

**Developer response:** 感谢使用我们的app。如果您在室外无法使用，请尝试一下关机重启。也可以给我们发信获取技术支持。谢谢。

### 1/5 — Doesn’t track speed at all

*2022-07-30*

Sorry this app does not give you accurate speed at all I was doing 160mph on my bike says top speed was 109 lol

### 1/5 — 垃圾

*2022-03-03*

骗人的软件

### 1/5 — 无法读出车速

*2021-06-12*

为啥我花了18购买了，显示不了时速，研究了半天没毛用啊，骗人的，麻烦出来解释下

**Developer response:** 感谢使用我们的app。如果手机接收不到GPS信号，就无法获得当前速度。GPS信号强的时候，仪表盘上的GPS天线标志的颜色是绿色的。如果一直是红色，就说明没有信号或信号太弱。另外，有的设备上没有GPS模块，如Wi-Fi版的iPad，也无法显示速度。

### 1/5 — 垃圾软件
