### 4/5 — Decent

*2021-05-28*

Simple app, which is what I was looking for. No ads. I would like to have a miles traveled option and to show the time.

**Developer response:** Thanks chp - yup, I hate ads too - I like the idea of adding time and distance travelled

### 4/5 — Simple

*2019-10-01, version 2.3*

Works well, appears accurate. No features and can’t see if it swipes mph to kmh as I haven’t driven in Europe with it yet...

### 3/5 — Great simple app, but

*2019-08-08, version 2.3*

Can’t switch the main unit to Km/h, so a bit impractical for us using the metric units.

### 2/5 — Mph how

*2019-07-17*

How do I display mph

**Developer response:** Hi pup - Sorry - I was trying to be smart and change from kmh to mph depending on your country - I might change it to be manual in the future

### 4/5 — Seems to work

*2019-04-03*

I have always thought the speedometer in my car was off. This app seems to work ti show that. No way of knowing how accurateit is.

**Developer response:** Thanks!

### 1/5 — This app does not work at all

### 4/5 — Simple and effective

*2023-03-15*

It doesn’t do anything it is just a wast of space.

### 1/5 — Have I missed something

*2022-02-07, version 2.3*

Using iPhone 12 max pro, latest software and the app does exactly nothing.
Sorry but ……..

### 1/5 — Bad

### 1/5 — Super Bad

*2021-03-14, version 2.3*

I downloaded this app on my phone. and when I opened the app when driving The app wouldn’t work at all. I was going about 60 miles an hour on the highway. in the app just kept saying I was going 0 miles an hour. the app is very broken I would not recommend it to anyone. unless he just want to try I know people are saying it works. but for me nothing worked.

### 5/5 — Nice simple speedometer (Feature Suggestion)

*2023-05-30, version 2.3*

This is a great app that simply shows you your speed in miles/hour and km/h however I would like to see knots and m/s on the screen at the same time optionally just like how the unit your country doesn’t use shows smaller I would like to be able to enable knots and m/s down there too.

### 5/5 — Good

*2022-06-21*

No ads and a simple design.

### 5/5 — Easy to use & the best app out there!

*2022-02-17, version 2.3*

I use this on my 12kw ebike that goes 65mph and I was extremely happy to find a speedometer app that does exactly what it is meant to and nothing more. No annoying ads, doesn’t seem to allow the display to be turned off, easy to read, can be flipped vertically and horizontally, day and night mode (IMPORTANT FOR ME!) and that’s it! 
As an idea, an ability to change the background/text colors would also be pretty cool, but not at all necessary :)

Big thanks to the developer. Keep it up!

### 5/5 — Maddox

*2021-08-07*

It is very accurate

**Developer response:** Thanks BH! :-o

### 5/5 — Base ball

*2020-12-21*

Dose it work for base ball

**Developer response:** Hmmmm - might be a different app you're looking for - unless you tape your phone to the ball (not recommended)

### 5/5 — Basic is Awesome

*2020-07-29*

This app has a Day and night mode. When having to drive with zonar, samsara or vehicle odometer it is spot on. Unless you drive where your phone can’t reach service. Either in profile or landscape modes, it will read if you are using mph or kph just touch and go.

**Developer response:** Thanks I5 - Nice car!

### 5/5 — Speed

*2020-07-15*

This app is super accurate

**Developer response:** Thanks!

### 5/5 — Thank you

*2020-03-27*

Saved my butt cop said one thing!! This showed he was not so truthful

**Developer response:** WoooHooo!

### 5/5 — It works!

*2019-01-31*

I never write reviews for apps. But I am in a friends vehicle that is having trouble reading it’s correct speed due to a different tire size. Downloaded while driving and it’s showing the correct speed! Yay!

**Developer response:** Thanks Tiny

### 5/5 — Simple and works.

*2018-07-30*

It's a basic speed app. It works and it's exactly what I wanted (no frills).

**Developer response:** Thanks Claby, that’s why I built it - let me know if you’d like any additions
