### 4/5 — Works Great.

*2026-08-16*

Version 1.1.2(6) 
Really nice app. It has good options for including and customizing overlay elements and locations on the camera image.  I think this is probably the most customizable of the overlay apps that are available. Would like to see the ability to set the max speed for the speedometer options.

**Developer response:** Fixed. Thank you so much for letting me know and sorry for the frustration! The update I just issued should resolve the issue.

### 1/5 — Purchase doesn’t work.

*2026-08-04*

Version 1.1.1(7) 
Purchase doesn’t work. The “Purchase Pro” button on the “Upgrade to Pro” screen goes nowhere. Bummer.

**Developer response:** Fixed. Thank you so much for letting me know and sorry for the frustration! The update I just issued should resolve the issue.

### 3/5 — Won’t allow Pro Purchase

*2026-07-19*

Without pro you can’t record in HD.  Other than that it works fine.

### 5/5 — Second Review

*2026-06-12*

I was skeptical due to low numbers, but trusted the thorough first review, and I’m blown away.

This app just works, it’s as simple or detailed as you want, and there haven’t been any issues or inconveniences. 

Solid app for riding around in my golf cart, highly recommend!! -David

### 5/5 — Thoughtfully built and actually useful

*2026-01-07*

This is one of those rare apps that just gets it, it actually does what it promises. 

The HUD overlay is pretty sick, it feels like I’m in Halo or something and it’s super useful when filming my hiking, camping, and overlanding in my truck making outdoor content. It’s got speed, elevation, heading, map, etc. it’s very purpose built for people who like filming the terrain as they move through it.

The main thing for me is that this was made by a real dude. Not some random company or ai slop pumping out apps to make money off of subscriptions. Design choices are solid, and performance is great, nothing feels bloated or gimmicky.

If you’re into hiking, cycling, off-roading, or any other outdoor content, this app punches way above its weight. Easy recommendation.

I should add, I don’t want to glaze the app too much, but I haven’t found anything yet that doesn’t work or any other major flaws, I’m using the iPhone 17 Pro Max for my content and it works well on my hardware and software.
