It also blocks audio that would normally come from Spotify. Sometime my earbud volume conyrols don't even work with this app. Even after I quit the app, my phone just doesn’t respond to inputs very well and I have to reboot. That's pretty close to a dealbreaker for me. On the good side, the display is big and gorgeous! Love the time/brightness logic for controlling display color - simply genius! I make it bright yellow during the day and red at night. I am going to keep the app installed because I just like it so much and have hopes that these issues will be addressed some day. ### 4/5 — Brilliant but one problem *2020-09-16, version 4.3* The colour selector is too big and all the two back sliders can't be changed ### 4/5 — Questions *2019-06-04, version 3.2* Camera symbol shows instead of large numbers showing actual speed... please help...can I call and talk to a person? ### 4/5 — Options *2018-11-27, version 3.1* It would be nice to have colors to customize Besides that I like it ### 5/5 — Great and simple *2018-06-25, version 3.1* Great speedometer, simple to use, plenty of quirky features, love it. ### 5/5 — Great speedometer *2018-06-25, version 3.1* Great speedometer and doesn’t drain your battery. ### 5/5 — Great stuff *2018-06-25, version 3.1* Don't have a working speedometer in my car. This has been a pretty good replacement. I recommend. ### 5/5 — Fantastic so far ! *2018-06-25, version 3.1* Please add acceleration measuring ! ### 4/5 — Using on a bike *2018-06-25, version 3.1* Been using it on a bike for some time now and it works great. Shame I can’t press reset button with my gloves on. ### 5/5 — Orientation lock! *2018-06-25, version 3.1* Been using it for a while on bike and orientation lock does help a lot! ### 5/5 — Works great ! *2018-06-19, version 3.1* Been using it on my bike and now it looks a lot better. ### 5/5 — Good app *2018-06-19, version 3.1* Good app but it could use distance measurement ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Went south no support *2022-05-13, version 4.3* I started using this app sometime ago and it worked flawlessly, so I purchased a subscription. As soon as I did that the app stopped working and stopped receiving GPS. Contacted the developer, never received a reply, went to the links in the app and followed them two pages that displayed a critical error message. There are no ways to obtain help for this so I canceled my subscription and installed another app instead. I do not recommend this app at all. ### 1/5 — Adds removal *2020-10-17, version 4.3* I purchased this app and specifically paid to remove all the adds. Now ever since I downloaded an update the app no longer accepts that I purchased this app. Apparently you guys changed to subscription style model . Is there anyway to update your app to allow me to be add free considering I purchased the app at full price before? If you can’t then I will be deleting your app on my phone and asking for a refund. Thanks ### 1/5 — Was ok - now its completely weird! *2020-09-01, version 4.3* unbelievable bad UI now! don’t know what happend since the last updates! Already the screen with chosing an option for ads or pay version is creepy! please hire a ui and ux designer ### 1/5 — Not working *2018-12-25, version 3.1* Will not Download to Apple Watch ### 1/5 — Speedo stopped working and developer website is down. *2017-11-30, version 2.2* I paid to remove the ads and the speedo stopped working. I tried to contact the developer but the website was no longer available. ### 2/5 — Dokumentation ohne Inhalt. *2019-09-17, version 3.2* Daher stellt sich auch die Frage, was passiert mit dem Standort Daten? ### 2/5 — It works, but… *2017-12-06, version 2.2* It has a terrible amount of lag which makes it basically useless since the speedo isn’t accurate at any specific point, as it’s always on a delay. If that was fixed, it might be a tolerable app. ### 3/5 — Update *2020-08-27, version 4.1* The latest update seems to have removed the ability to reset the average speed on the fly for some reason which makes the app useless for my needs now. ### 3/5 — app is ok *2020-01-26, version 3.2* this app is ok but when i go into the settings to change the color scheme for the speedometer i noticed that the layout of the settings section needs to be lined up a bit because it overlaps with everything. please correct & i’ll make a donation to developer. please and thank you. ### 3/5 — Gut mit Potential für Verbesserungen *2018-10-21, version 3.1* Das App ist graphisch sehr ansprechend gestaltet aber doch noch sehr minimalistisch. Ich würde mir folgende Einstellmöglichkeiten wünschen: - Anzeige der Geschwindigkeit auch mit einer Dezimalstelle (z.B. 10,4 km/) - Einblendung der Uhrzeit in größerer Schrift - Einblendung von Höchstgeschwindigkeit, Durchschnittsgeschwindigkeit und zurückgelegten Weg in kleinerer Schrift. Ich würde das App dann zum Schleppfischen beim Angeln verwenden. Dort fährt man Geschwindigkeiten um 3,2 km/h. Deshalb auch der Wunsch nach einer Dezimalstelle bei der Geschwindigkeit. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Very great App *2025-08-02, version 4.3* Please add the odometer Km/h and miles ### 5/5 — Wow!! don’t hesitate to download this app 👍 *2022-05-15, version 4.3* This is an awesome app. I can’t believe what this developer has managed to do. It feels like its a built in apple app ### 5/5 — Dash cam crashes app in ios14 *2021-06-03, version 4.3* As soon as you touch the dash cam icon the app crashes and won’t reopen until a hard reboot of the iPhone. Any updates planned? ### 5/5 — (UPDATE: it does have one, 5 stars.) Pretty good but needs one display option. *2020-10-17* App is really good, but I wish there was an option to only show the digital speedo or the analogue one. Would be a 5 star app. It’s got it, my bad lol. **Developer response:** Hi, Not picking on you - but did you know you can swipe left and right between different screens and third one is an actual digit only. ### 5/5 — . *2020-04-04, version 3.2* how is it so good???? ### 5/5 — No sound *2019-08-27, version 3.2* Like the video proof of speed but would be nice if sound was working ### 5/5 — Improvement suggestion *2018-08-15, version 3.1* I recently downloaded this app and I’m really happy 😊 with it but one thing I feel like that could be improved is accuracy I have a moped and my speedometer isn’t accurate so I downloaded this to replace my speedometer on my moped but when I was at full speed on a flat surface it said I was topping out at 39-40MPH it kept going back and forth between the 2 numbers I don’t know if the app was glitching or not but I’m going to try and use it again this morning when I head into work but other than that I love this app but if you developers can make some more improvements with accuracy with speed that would be great it definitely comes in handy when I’m in areas that have a 15-35MPH speed limit but I’m a big fan of this app I love the display and everything but anyone looking to download a speedometer app this is the one you should get it’s free and it’s worth it so what are you waiting for download this app today but here are my 5 stars and one feature I would love to see is the ability to add a watch face using speedy in the middle of the watch face or at least in the corner however you guys think that feature would work anyways that’s just a feature I would love to see come to speedy because I’m starting to use this app a lot for my moped I find it to be really useful ### 5/5 — AAA+ *2018-06-28, version 3.1* Fabulous speedometer, clean display! ### 5/5 — Developer helps ! *2018-06-25, version 3.1* Had a problem and I reached out for support. I was not even expecting to get help, but developer did help me out. ### 5/5 — Used it when my instruments fried. *2018-06-25, version 3.1* I used this for a while when my speedo and fuel level stoped working. The app doesn’t tell you the distance which would be very useful but I’ve managed to work out the distance I was traveling on average. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
