## What is HUD Widgets?

HUD Widgets app is a set of handy and popular navigation widgets, like speedometers, trip info, landmeter, weather, eco-driving, etc... All widgets work in regular or head-up display (HUD) mode. 

Speedometers:
— Classic digital speedometer
— Digital, with compass, odometer, and distance traveled (Chevrolet Aveo style)
— A set of retro speedometers: Cadillac style, arched, circular

GPS trip information:
— See how safely you drive: the app calculates your driving score based on your acceleration, braking, turns, and speeding data. 
— Know your fuel consumption per each trip and the expenses on it.
— Information on your current, maximum and average speed, distance and time traveled
— Large compass
— Eco-driving. Acceleration and deceleration graphs indicate driving efficiency

Other:
— Internet Radio
— Land meter. Indicates the angle of car slope or tilt — pitching and rolling
— Weather and clock

Launch the app, select the widget, and place the smartphone close to the windshield (to use it in HUD mode, with the screen image reflected onto the windshield), or fix it in the mount. 

Attention!
1. On a clear day, the device screen brightness is typically insufficient to give a decent reflection for HUD mode. In that situation, you can use the app in standard mode with the phone fixed with some mount, OR stay HUD using our HUDWAY Glass accessory (more at hudwayglass.com or see bellow). At night, in dusk, or in dull weather the reflection is normally well-discernible.

2. Continuous use of geolocation services (GPS and GLONASS) may drain your device battery fast.

3. When driving, make sure that your smartphone or tablet is well fixed in some mount or on some sticky pad, and doesn't prevent you from clearly seeing the road.

HUDWAY Glass car accessory makes smartphone work as a head-up display in any car even in daytime. Removes doubling, offers sharp enlarged reflection image.

### 1/5 — Uygulama açılmıyor

*2026-04-01, version 2.1.6*

Uzun süredir kullanamıyorum.

### 1/5 — Hat Potenzial

*2026-01-15*

Warum zum Geier bekommt das Ding keine Internetverbindung? WhatsApp und Google Maps Navigation (ohne offline Karten) funktioniert doch parallel auch perfekt! Das sollte hier schon funktionieren. 
Sogar nach Neuinstallation keine Änderung.

### 1/5 — Still In Business???

*2025-09-28*

I can’t tell if this company is still in business.  The Developer Website link in the App Store is incorrect.  And the in-app purchase options within the app are still available, but there is no indication in the App Store that in-app purchases are available.

### 1/5 — It requires notification access which is a huge red flag

*2025-09-23, version 2.1.6*

It requires notification access which is a huge red flag

### 3/5 — Crashes

*2025-09-17*

I have the premium version of the app, while it’s great it seems to be unstable and crashes often, one day I forgot about this and my phone offloaded it, now whenever I try start it it crashes and restarting doesn’t fix the issue.

**Developer response:** Hi! Thank you a ton for the rating and review! Hopefully, you enjoy driving with us😊

### 5/5 — Yeni çeşitlilikler lazım

*2025-07-13, version 2.1.6*

TR

Audi rs göstergesi gibi bir hud olursa hız bölümünde çok makbuke geçer uygulamayı 2 yıldır kullanıyorum çok güzel ve rahat ancak çeşitlilik arttırılmalı. 🙏

EN 

If it had a HUD like the Audi RS indicator, it would be very appreciated in the speed section. I have been using the application for 2 years, it is very nice and comfortable, but the variety should be increased. 🙏

### 3/5 — Settings reset after closing app

*2025-05-18*

Every time I close the app, I have to change the settings back to miles, not to mention that I become a compact vehicle again. Also, there should be an option for truck in the vehicle menu.

### 1/5 — Non funziona

*2025-03-27, version 2.1.6*

Aggiornamento perché non funziona.
L’app va in crush.

### 3/5 — Est-il possible ?

*2024-09-13*

J’aimerais utiliser le compteur de vitesse en arrière plan pendant que je suis mon trajet sur l’application plan, comment faire? Car j’ai payé pour avoir la fonctionnalité arrière plan mais je ne peux pas voir le compteur de vitesses si je réduis l’application.

**Developer response:** Hi! The thing is, iOS doesn't allow the visualisation over other apps. If you close the app, it will work in the background calculating the speed and other values. Thank you!

### 1/5 — Restaurar compra

*2024-07-24, version 2.1.1*

Ya no aparece la opción de iniciar sesión con Google y es con ello que tenía registrado la compra de la versión premium, no me permite iniciar con las opciones que ponen
