### 4/5 — Be nice to get an update to fit bigger screen

*2022-04-18, version 2.2.5*

Nice app shame it’s been forgotten about by the developers. A little update so it fits latest iPhone screen sizes would be nice

### 3/5 — Okay, aber ...

*2020-05-16*

Okay, aber ... wie kann das GPS Bewegung aufzeichnen wenn dad Handy nur auf dem Tisch liegt. In 2 Min hat die App 200 m aufgezeichnet obwohl keine Bewegung möglich war. Im Vergleich mit einem anderen GPS Tracker kommen auch unterschiedliche Werte raus. Wie kommt das????

### 3/5 — iOS 13???

*2019-10-08*

Die App läuft auf iOS 13 nicht richtig. Bitte updaten

### 4/5 — Fast Perfekt

*2019-03-30*

Eigentlich eine geile App. Hat fast alles was man braucht. Fast. Man kann halt nur Strecken fahren, die man bereits kennt, und sich nachher auf der Karte die gefahrene Strecke anschauen (die man ja bereits kennt...) 
Perfekt wäre es, wenn man auf der Karte auch eingeben kann, wohin man will, und dort hin navigiert wird. Ohne viel Schnickschnack, farbliche Unterlegung der Strecke würde mir genügen. Dann wäre die App meine treuer Begleiter für Bike und Moped, bis dahin ist es leider nur eine nette Spielerei.

### 2/5 — Was good until today - support link is gone

*2018-11-27*

I really liked this app, but today it just opened itself. I quit the app and it opens again. I reset and hard reset my iPhone 8 (iOS12) to no avail. Went to get support but the link has been taken down. Went to developer website and there is no mention of this product.

### 3/5 — Application support??

*2017-03-02, version 2.2.3*

App works great. I need information on how to configure the additional settings and what they all do. App support link doesn't help

### 5/5 — Update

*2016-09-28*

The display seems to be corrected but there should be an option added of While using under Location.

### 5/5 — iOS 10

*2016-09-15, version 2.2.2*

Greetings, I have had this app for a while now & was very happy with it! Sadly though since the download of iOS 10 one of the speedometer screens in the middle of app, now display ???? Only! I would send you a screen shot but there is now way to not could I find an email to send it too!

### 5/5 — Ausgezeichnet

*2015-07-19*

Eine fantastische App mit super Funktionen, übersichtlich, wahnsinnig schnell und genau, intuitiv zu bedienen und mit tollen Möglichkeiten, die Daten zu exportieren. Außerdem kann man einfach seinen Standort senden und es gibt eine Head Up Funktion. Hier bleibt eigentlich keinen Wunsch offen. Vielen Dank für diese super App!

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2015-07-07, version 2.0.4*

Beautifully implemented.

### 5/5 — The best tool I ever try for navigation

*2015-06-29*

I like to travel and this app is the best I ever use, what I like is that gives me the exact information and it works even if I don't have Internet connection, for travelers and outdoor activities this is the best tool you can use

### 5/5 — The Best Motorcycle App - no doubt

*2015-06-28*

I have tried numerous apps for tracking motorcycle rides and have exclusively been using GPSSpeed for about 4+ months now.  This app is loaded with features far and beyond any other GPS app and really is the perfect companion.  Easy to use, accurate but what impresses me the most are the features that are packed in.
- Speed tracking is highly accurate and you can select the speedometer speed intervals to display or select the app to automatically adjust
- The presented data is amazing from altitude, to compass, to battery life remaining to selecting what live ride data to display
- You can select to display ride statistics, or a satellite image or maps as you ride
- Pausing the app for breaks or keep it running.  Saving rides with a custom title and then saving on your iPhone of syncing to iCloud
- Exporting file data and uploading into Google Earth is a great way to see where you have ridden on your computer

For an enhancement I would like an easier way to email rides rather than the export data formats provided.  To be able to email the ride data screens and the maps as a jpeg or pdf so I can simply keep an easy to read file vs. having to import into other reader apps such as Google Earth.

Everybody I show this app to is really impressed and having tried about 5+ other apps, none compare.  I am not associated with the Developer and so this review is completely independent.

### 5/5 — Great for Car Rides

*2015-06-28*

Takes "Back seat driver" to a whole new level when my son says he is going the speed limit.  Great app!

### 5/5 — GPS Speed HD App

*2015-04-05, version 2.0.3*

Very nice app. The best free speed app I've seen in a long time.

### 3/5 — Спидометр

*2015-02-04*

Не работает, что делать????????!!!!!!!

### 5/5 — Ставлю все равно 5=)

*2015-01-20*

После последнего обновления прога стала глючить, зависла карта, дотронулся чтобы ее подвинуть, программа вылетела и трек не сохранила. До это прога работала идеально) Все равно ставлю 5, так как прога реально отличная, исправьте, пожалуйста) iPhone 4S, iOS 8.1.2, no jb

### 1/5 — War super, aber leider keine Updates mehr

*2023-10-06*

Fand die App super! Habe damit alle möglichen Routen getrackt. Egal ob Spaziergang oder Fahrradfahren, man hatte danach viele hilfreiche Informationen und die Route auf der Karte war auch klasse.
Doch seit längerem können keine historischen Daten mehr angezeigt werden, ich kann nicht mal sagen, ob das Speichern noch funktioniert.
Leider war das letzte Update vor 5 Jahren und seitdem hat sich viel in der iOS Welt getan.
Ich schau mich mal nach vergleichbaren Tools um.
Trotzdem Danke für die tolle App!

### 1/5 — Needs Updating 🙏

*2023-04-06, version 2.2.5*

I used to LOVE this app but am so sad that it always crashes with my IOS 16.11. I have deleted and reinstalled a couple of times but the problem continues. Please update. I really miss it.

### 1/5 — Absturz

*2019-07-05*

Schade. Lässt dich nicht mehr laden.
Komme an meine gespeicherten Tracks nicht mehr heran. Deshalb nur noch einen Stern

### 1/5 — Stürzt nur noch ab

*2019-05-05*

App lässt sich leider nicht mehr öffnen.
Nutze sie seit sieben Jahren mit Begeisterung und habe mit Entsetzen feststellen müssen, dass diese nicht mehr funktioniert.

Nutze ein iPhoneX mit iOS 12.2

Bitte behebt den Fehler damit diese sonst so perfekte App weiterhin nutzbar ist.

### 1/5 — Sizh07

*2014-12-13*

Спидометр не работает!!

### 1/5 — 👍

*2014-12-11*

Отлично!

### 1/5 — Сняли деньги(

*2014-12-11*

Было написанно что "бесплатно", а сняли 66р.

### 1/5 — App Crashes when record button pressed

*2013-10-26, version 1.6.4*

When I hit record the app crashes.

### 1/5 — Fun to watch but that is all

*2013-09-21, version 1.6.4*

Speed accuracy is terrible to say the best. Every time I use this app in my 40' motor home this shows at least 89 MPH. I never travel over 75 MPH. 
This is fun to watch but that is all. 
Time for me to find a more accurate app.

### 1/5 — Rubbish!

*2013-05-28, version 1.6.3*

What's going on? Won't work on my iPad or iPhone? I want my money back!

### 5/5 — Super Tacho & Routen Recorder

*2026-04-09*

Verwende ich für Fahrrad-, Motorradtouren....

Excellenter Routen Recorder
Routen Export ist perfekt.

Danke!

### 5/5 — Einfach genial!

*2021-04-20*

Herausragend nicht nur die App selbst, sondern die Tatsache, dass sie noch unter iOS 5.1.1 lauffähig und aktuell bleibt. Da sollten sich andere eine Scheibe von abschneiden, deren Software sich mit jeder Abhängigkeit zu höheren Versionen direkt proportional verschlechtert.

### 5/5 — Super GPS Tracker

*2020-08-15*

Meines Erachtens der beste GPS Tracker in Store. War auf iOS13 etwas Zickig. Jetzt Funktioniert alles bestens.

### 5/5 — Lange her aber wieder gefunden :)

*2019-02-02*

Hatte die App schon vor 5 oder 6 Jahren mal verwendet. Heute musste ich seit langem mal wieder eine Messung machen und da viel mir ein da gab es doch mal so eine geniale App. Gesucht, gefunden und installiert! Klappt noch immer genau so perfekt wie damals :) Danke !

### 5/5 — Amazing App!

*2018-11-04, version 2.2.5*

The landscape or horizontal view could have a little more to it but definitely worth the $2! Suggestion: The speed color preset should also work on Apple Watch too :)

### 5/5 — Nice app

*2018-07-21, version 2.2.5*

Cannot delete the routes I make, the app appears to delete them but they simply reappear!

### 5/5 — Updated review

*2017-12-16*

Everything works, and works great. Like seeing the map, speed , and altitude when flying.

### 5/5 — Wir wären hilflos ohne diese App

*2017-12-03*

Auf unseren ausgedehnten Europatouren per Auto für die abendliche Zuordnung der GPS Daten zu den Fotos unverzichtbar, ebenso die Kartenbilder.

### 5/5 — The Best

*2017-11-10*

It's really great for motorcycling, but it's also good for bicycling because the gps plotting is highly accurate and you can set the speedometer reading to 30km/h max.
Great data export options.
Visual representation of speed/altitude on GPS plotline map is really cool.

I also use Google Maps only when to check things in the vicinity or newly planned route (imported from PC), otherwise I kill the app and let only GPSSpeed HD run continuously.

### 5/5 — 5 STAR!!!

*2017-06-23, version 2.2.3*

Amazing i love it i use this on my bike. Can you set check points?
