### 4/5 — Can’t run properly in background

*2026-08-28*

I ve set location service as always and precise, Background speed tracking works, but the warning chime only triggers if the speed threshold is crossed while the app is in the foreground. Once the app is in the background, it can detect the speed dropping below the threshold and stop the chime, but it cannot trigger the chime again when the threshold is crossed.
I wish I can use Google maps in foreground and having the 86chime once once a go over set speed, hope  we gets new update and fixes this issue soon

### 4/5 — キンコンチャイムの音のバリエーション

*2026-06-10*

今の音もいいけどAE86と言えばの純正の音も聞きたいなーって思う、アプリ自体は神！

### 3/5 — Not the actual 86 sound

*2026-04-16*

I appreciate the concept; I've been looking for something like this for a while, but for costing actual money it should have the actual AE86 speed chime like from real life or initial d

### 4/5 — ちゃんとキンコンしてる

*2025-07-16*

音楽の後ろから流せるのはめっちゃいい
ただキンコン自体のボリューム調整マジで実装して欲しい
欲をいえばバックグラウンドで動いて欲しいけど、そこまでは要らないかも(現状はアプリ開いたままじゃないとキンコンしない)
ボリューム調整さえ出来れば神アプリすぎる、作成者さん1か月前とかにアプリ更新してるからまじで実装してくださいお願いします

**Developer response:** ご意見ありがとうございました。キンコンチャイムの音量調整機能を追加しました！

### 4/5 — あの頃を思い出す。

*2025-06-12*

アイデアが素晴らしいです。
胸を打たれました。
携帯の画面が暗くなった状態でもキンコン音がなるようになれば最高です。

**Developer response:** ご意見ありがとうございます。バックグラウンドでの再生機能に関して、引き続き実現に向けて取り組んでいきたいと思います。
