### 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😊

### 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.

### 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!

### 4/5 — Hız çeşitliliği

*2024-07-21, version 2.1.1*

Mhp/kmh olarak istediğimizi seçebilseydik çok daha iyi olurdu. Ayrıca mobil veri kapalıyken yaklaşık 45 dk sonra hız sabit donuyor uygulamayı kapat aç yapınca düzeliyor. İkisi yüzünden 1 yıldız kırdım.

### 2/5 — не работает

*2024-03-16*

перестало работать

**Developer response:** Добрый день! Приносим свои извинения. Пожалуйста, дайте нам знать модель вашего телефона и OS на почту support@hudway.co – будем рады помочь. Спасибо!

### 4/5 — Good,but glitching

*2023-12-16, version 1.12.1*

It glitches after 3 or 4 uses, goes into the Home Screen

### 4/5 — Great app but needs OBD2 support.

*2023-12-13*

This has the best UI out of every HUD app I’ve seen imo. Only downside is that data like speed, fuel level, etc can’t be display via an OBD2 adapter. Using GPS all the time is horrible for battery life.

**Developer response:** Hi! Thank you a lot for your review! Our app wasn't designed to be used with OBD2 dongles. There're other apps for this purpose. The app is supposed to provide those who don't have OBD or other similar gadgets with driving info. We thank you for choosing us!

### 4/5 — Like the look but cant seem to use as widgets

*2023-10-26*

I wonder are these not supposed to be used as widgets? Dont seem to be able to use them as widgets on the iPad as a page on home.

**Developer response:** Hi! Unfortunately, the app isn't considered to work as a default system widget on iPads or iPhones, but this is a set of necessary driving widgets inside one app. We're sorry for confusing you. Thank you so much!

### 2/5 — Приложение вылетает

*2023-06-17*

Приложение несколько раз открывается нормально, а потом просто вылетает. iPhone 8, IOS 16.5

**Developer response:** Добрый день! Извините за некорректную работу! Пожалуйста, попробуйте переустановить приложение и дать все разрешения, если это не поможет, сообщите нам сюда support@hudway.co. Спасибо!

### 4/5 — Feature Request

*2023-05-14*

I have a Tesla. I need not cost in €/ltr, I need cost in €/kwh.

**Developer response:** Hi! Thank you so much for the insight – we'll do our best to implement it!

### 3/5 — не зеркалит изображение

*2023-04-27*

не понятно, как отзеркалить изображение для использования в авто, иначе бесполезное приложение

**Developer response:** Добрый день! Когда вы выбрали какой-то виджет, ткните на экран, и сбоку появится меню с кнопками, в том числе кнопка HUD, нажав на нее, изображение перевернется в зеркальном виде. Если возникнут какие-то проблемы, напишите нам на адрес support@hudway.co. Спасибо!

### 4/5 — Wonderful app, one suggestion

*2023-04-23*

It would be so much fun to have one mode where it displays running song lyrics from spotify or music!

**Developer response:** Hi! Thank you so much for the rating and sharing your thoughts – we'll do our best to make it😊

### 1/5 — AK

*2022-10-09, version 1.12.1*

There’s like -10 between my speed and the numbers on screen

### 1/5 — What the hell are you saying?

*2022-07-29, version 1.12.1*

The app did not start up, and when it was reinstalled, an unlock display appeared on the paid content and it did not disappear

### 1/5 — Orientation locked

*2022-06-25, version 1.12.1*

The app is awesome, and a bit more of customisation would be appreciated! But there’s something that doesn’t make me use it: the orientation is locked on one side, and since in my car I use an ipad in a specific way, it’s upside down…
1 star until we can rotate the app, then I’ll give you 5 stars as you deserve! Thank you!

### 3/5 — ا

*2022-06-14, version 1.12.1*

ما يعطيك قرأه دقيقه

### 1/5 — Completely useless

*2022-06-13*

This app is completely useless during sunny day. terrible visibility during the day. could be useful at night tho.

**Developer response:** Hi! We're sorry for the inconvenience! During a day, especially if the sun shines directly to the phone staying on your dahs, there's little chance you see anything with any app. If you use the app with HUD device, we recommend to adjust brightness and the angle of device lens. Thank you!

### 1/5 — Crashing

*2022-04-28*

Had this for many years, and it worked okay. Now on latest iOS it is crashing before even starting. Fix it first and then I will rate this accordingly.

**Developer response:** Hi! Thank you a lot for informing us – we apologise for the inconvenience and we'll do our best to fix it. Thank you!

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 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

### 1/5 — Non funziona

*2025-03-27, version 2.1.6*

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

### 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

### 1/5 — Türkçe  dil desteği

*2024-07-24, version 2.1.1*

5 yıl oldu hala Türkçe dil desteği yok !!! Neden

### 1/5 — Con CarPlay  sarebbe top

*2024-04-09, version 1.12.1*

Sarebbe molto utile se supportato da CarPlay, ma non è così quindi inutilizzabile

### 1/5 — Не загружается база данных

*2023-08-25*

Грузится несколько часов и безрезультатно

**Developer response:** Добрый день! Мы приносим свои извинения за некорректную работу приложения – не могли бы вы сообщить модель вашего телефона и версию ОС на support@hudway.co. Большое спасибо!

### 1/5 — Not running

*2023-03-19, version 1.12.1*

The application is not running at all

### 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. 🙏

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2023-05-17, version 1.12.1*

This is a good app it has soo many hud options and no ads

### 5/5 — Better than I thought

*2021-10-16*

Let’s get this straight,
I am very skeptical and very picky
I downloaded a whole bunch of HUD apps to see how they were
A lot of them made me pay a lot of money for premium features for this one you watch one ad and get premium features all of them for a day
I am very happy with this.

**Developer response:** Hi! Thank you for your feedback. If you have suggestions for app improvements or any questions please write us to support@hudwayapp.com and we'll try to help you. Have a nice day!

### 5/5 — CarPlay???

*2021-01-19*

Where can I start what an awesome app absolutely love it. But it’s missing the huge feature of CarPlay. I would 100% use this app more often if I could use my Cars screen to see all these awesome gauges. I also have an issue if I’m using CarPlay on my car I can’t change the volume of the music whilst using the app even if this could be fixed I’d use the app so much more. 

Thanks for the awesome app🙂

**Developer response:** Hi! Thank you immensely for your feedback! Could you please email us at support@hudway.co, we'll try our best to help. Thank you :) Have a great day!

### 5/5 — CarPlay

*2020-10-10, version 1.9.0*

Why is not possible to interface at CarPlay ? It would be fantastic 😎

### 5/5 — Супер!

*2020-10-01*

Очень крутое и полезное приложение. Но мне хотелось бы узнать, можете ли вы добавить, что бы оно в реальном времени отображало параметры разгона, торможения, поворота. Что бы они были не усреднёнными, а показывались в реальном времени, как сильно я разгоняюсь и торможу, если бы вы это сделали это было бы очень круто и полезно.

**Developer response:** Здравствуйте! Спасибо за ваш подробный отзыв и высокую оценку! Мы отметили ваши пожелания и подумаем, что можно сделать в будущих версиях. Если у вас есть вопросы или еще идеи, пожалуйста, напишите нам на эл.почту  support@hudwayapp.com. Спасибо!

### 5/5 — 1

*2020-07-21, version 1.9.0*

Отличный интерфейс.

### 5/5 — Ottima app

*2020-07-15, version 1.9.0*

Bellissima app, l’unica cosa è che anche se attivo la funzione HUD sul parabrezza dell’auto non vedo proiettato nulla. Necessita di altri accessori o di un vetro specifico ? Grazie

### 5/5 — App molto carina

*2019-12-19, version 1.9.0*

Personalmente ritengo l’app ben fatta e utile per gli scopi che si propone. Devo dire che ho acquistato la versione premium e dopo due giorni per qualche misterioso motivo l’app si apriva in versione trial. Ho contattato il servizio clienti e hanno risolto tutto in poco tempo e ora posso usare l’app in versione premium.

### 5/5 — Could be available for car play?

*2019-06-30, version 1.9.0*

Great application, I would like to be available for apple car play.
