Will not open on iPhone 5s
Shame
Seems really good!
Looks like a very promising app, one of a kind on the App Store. However I am having trouble seeing text on the screen especially when searching for locations as it seems to be the same colour as the background. Let me know if you want to reach out and get screenshots/logs!
Inconsistent
Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t. Sometimes it crashes and has to be deleted and reinstalled, losing all data. Sometimes you can see what the camera sees, sometimes you see just the route map. Sometimes it records and sometimes it doesn’t.
All of these problems seem to be related to nothing at all. Every time you start it up it picks a different path to inconsistency.

Crashes
As of last update Sept1/18 it still crashes when opening on iPhone X
Can you view the recordings?
The app appears to be recording as the red light is on and I can see my trip in the my trips section yet it says that no video is available. What use is this dashcam app if it doesn’t record and/or you cannot view the recording?
Response from developer
Yes! Just select the "My Trips" tab (bottom right corner), pick the trip of your choice and you will find the video there. They are saved for 3 days to prevent Sidekick from taking up too much of your storage. Retention is now configurable and you can also export it to the iOS Photos app if you prefer. Hope this helps and save travels!
Need another update
I thought it worked well at first, but your update yesterday killed it. Won't run anymore.
GPS Directions were sporadic and frustrating
After reading the news story in the Edmonton Journal I had high hopes for this. I liked the idea of combining video with directions. But the app would start giving directions and then just stop. It wasn't reliable. Very frustrating. Also, as someone else wrote, it's a huge battery drain, so can only be used if it's actively plugged in. Again, repeating someone else's comments, sounds like too much money spent on marketing and not enough on the actual product.

Non starter
App crashes after initial setup
Falls at first hurdle
Wouldn't get past the registration screen so a full review is impossible..
Doesn't work
Can't even set it up. It freezes
Junk
App is trying to replace Waze, but is so immature it'll be a long time coming.
Don't bother with this - even the photo radar alerts for Edmonton are a waste...
And that's all forgetting about the fact that this thing chews through your battery very quickly!

Had high hopes
But the app keeps crashing or wont load at all.
