User reviews

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!
