Since 2015, Speedlimit 88 GPS Speedometer has been the goto speedometer app for your iPhone and iPad ¹ designed to look like Australian (and probably other) speed limit signs. Perfect for when you're driving your car, riding on your bicycle, jet ski, or even on the luge for a quick commute down the mountain - basically any vehicle you can ride under the sky. OK, runners can use it too. Does not work in tunnels... This amazing app has 6+1, yes SIX PLUS ONE features! Always free: 1. Your GPS detected speed in a Big. Red. Circle. 2. Speed in km/h 2. Speed in miles per hour 3. A day theme 4. A night theme (tap the speed reading to toggle) 6. And last but not least, an accuracy indicator that changes from green to orange to red (hold on that's three separate features right there) to show the GPS location accuracy. If it's not green, the speed accuracy will reduce and update less frequently. You're free to test drive the Map feature for 30 minutes, then an inexpensive In App purchase for unlimited use with NO RECURRING SUBSCRIPTION. If you won't use the map but want to give me a small tip, please buy. I'm just one guy - not a company. Here's what you can do with the map: 1. Tap the map button to enable the map. At the same time as the speedometer. Seriously.  - Tap again to toggle to a smaller speedo size, and tap one more time to hide the map 2. View your current location on the map, with or without traffic, or in satellite mode 3. Drag to browse around the map and see businesses and other points of interest 4. Tap the location button to recenter the map on your location 5. Tap the location button again to rotate the map to follow the direction you are going 6. Switch between 2D and 3D mode That's at least 6 more features. I've run out of fingers to count them all! Do you have other feature requests? Please email me at support@thomases.id.au. I'd love to hear from you. * To have access to the GPS please grant permission to access your location - like all other navigation apps. * Use of the map will require a cellular or wifi data connection. ¹ Accurate updates of the GPS (and your speed) require a cellular enabled device - wifi only iPads will not update the speed frequently. Please note that the speed displayed is only as accurate as the speed reading in your iPhone. This app is not a legal speed measuring device and should not be used as a substitute for your car's speedometer. Car speedometers are often inaccurate too. ## Key features - GPS detected speed display - Speed in km/h and mph - Day and night themes - GPS accuracy indicator - Map view with current location - Browse points of interest on map - Map orientation and mode switching ## Pricing and in-app purchases Base price: Free. **One-time purchases** | Purchase | Price | Type | | --- | --- | --- | | View your location on a map | $2.99 | one-time | ## Recent user reviews (8 of 8) All indexed reviews: https://appshunter.io/ios/app/speedlimit-88-gps-speedometer/id999249503/reviews.md ### 5/5 — Great app… *2024-03-21* I’ve used this app for years and like it for its simple design. But please, can you make it Apple Car Play compatible. Since getting a car with Car Play I no longer mount my phone on the dashboard and so don’t use the app. ### 5/5 — Absolutely love this *2022-11-03* I absolutely love this app, if there was anything I could recommend I would love the feature to have the screen read out the speed automatically every 5 to 10 seconds as I use this on my motorcycle and my speedometer is quite off ### 5/5 — Trev *2021-02-17* Great app. Can I use my iPad (not cellular) connected via wifi from my iPhone ? ### 1/5 — Dangerous to the wallet ! *2020-09-26* Brand new Suzuki car made in Japan. 80 km on dash This idiot app 74km. Sitting still at home this idiot app varies between 1 and 5 kms ...go figure. **Developer response:** I had a 2010 VW Golf. The speedo was 9km out at 100 kph. The app is only as accurate as the built in GPS, but if you go under one of those speed measures gantries on the freeway, you'll see just how accurate your car speedo is. Please refrain from abusive language. I'm just one guy trying to make an app. ### 1/5 — Doesnt work with apple map *2019-12-23* How can i let this work while opening apple map? ### 5/5 — Anton V B *2019-12-22* Love checking my car speedometer ### 5/5 — Great app *2017-06-04* Hi, great app. I've got a couple of suggestions to make it even greater, I hope you don't mind. 1) include a small time (clock) display in the corner 2) allow you to set default background colour as either white or black 3) when in black background mode, change the small text colour from blue to white or yellow to make it easier to read from a distance Keep up the good work 😊👍 ### 1/5 — Not accurate *2015-10-02* The speed is not accurate...

I couldn't be more grateful! Version 26.0.1 fixes a bug with the background of the speedometer when returning to the fullscreen speedometer mode. I'm so sorry that bug crept in! Version 26.0.0 is a massive update which adds even more features to the map experience. You can now switch between 2D and 3D view at the touch of a button, quickly recenter the map on your current location, or tap the location button again and the map will rotate to your current heading. The app is also updated with the iOS 26 look and feel if your iPhone or iPad is on iOS 26, and I've been very careful to keep the controls easy to read. iOS/iPadOS 15-18 are still supported, and have a refreshed look and feel too!

Even if you won't use the map, but want to say thanks, it would make my day if you sent a small contribution my way through an In-App purchase. ### 26.0.0 — 2026-01-26 First a quick note to say thank you to all of you who have downloaded my app, sent me feedback, or even bought the in-app purchase.

Still rocking an older device? You'll be able to enjoy this update if you've got iOS 13 or newer. I loved working on the improvements, and I hope you love this update too. But if you don't, please send me feedback by tapping on the settings button and then Feedback.
