The best speed app on iphone” 5 Stars by kurtonic Speed Box is a Speedometer and GPS app for both your iPhone and iPad. It displays your current speed, distance, direction and altitude along with your top speed and average speed. The app also keeps a record of the speed and altitude for the last few hours. Now including trip logging to log location, speed and more data for individual trips! MAIN FEATURES ======================== * MPH, KM/H and KNOTS * Show decimal speed (e.g. "45.7 mph") * One app for both the iPhone and iPad * "Speak speed" - Tap screen to have the speed spoken to you * 11 Analog and digital speedometers * Map view * Maximum and average speed * Altitude * Digital compass * HUD display to see speed in windshield * Odometer to measure distance traveled * Chart of the traveled speed and altitude * Warning signal when driving too fast * Export last 3 hours of data * Change maximum displayed speed on speedometer * Swipe finger over chart to display historic data * Display GPS accuracy by tapping the indicator in the top left corner USER REVIEWS ======================== 5 Stars by Darekakuta "Just what I needed. My '58 chev's speedo doesn't work. This did the trick." 5 Stars by Rawd "Great My 79 Firebird speedo only goes to 140 kmh. ;). This worked perfectly." 5 Stars "Within 1 mile per hour +/- Great Job!" SpeedBox was one of the very early Speedometer Apps for the iPhone. Take advantage of my experience and the refined algorithms that can get a much greater accuracy from the iPhone then a lot of other apps. I regularly update my application to make it even more accurate and usable. Users have already used our application to verify the accuracy of their car's speedometer or they tried measuring the speed they achieved while skiing. Can you come up with more ideas? How about measuring the speed of the airplane you travel with? USAGE NOTES ======================== The "GPS strength" indicator in the top left corner should display a green dot. You can tap this indicator to display the current GPS accuracy. Please allow the application up to a minute to find enough satellites to work correctly. If you get a message to enable GSP, please go to ”Settings > General > Location Services“ on your iPhone and check if the little switch is set to "On" for Speed Box as well as for "Location Services" in general. ATTENTION iPod touch users! Unfortunately this app doesn't work very well on the iPod touch and the iPad WiFI (without 3G) since these devices are missing a GPS! FEEDBACK ======================== If you've got any wishes or suggestions for new features, please let me know with the contact form on this application's website (see link below). I am already working on the next update! ## Key features - MPH, KM/H, and KNOTS display - Speak speed aloud - Analog and digital speedometer options - HUD display for windshield - Odometer for distance tracking - Speed and altitude charts - Speed warning signal ## Chart rankings - #94 in Top Paid · Navigation (US App Store) ## What do users think of Speedometer & Trip Logging?

Display has been checked against a measured mile with good accuracy. ### 4/5 — Carplay *2025-12-14, version 2024.1* Carplay support pls and average speed widget ### 5/5 — Speed *2025-09-19* This is a great app ### 4/5 — Nice! *2025-07-22* Nice graphics. ### 3/5 — It’s a good app but.. *2024-09-02* What would make it better is if there was a way to use it for directions also or be able to have it as a widget or something of that sort for the people who need to be able to see the map while following directions. ### 5/5 — Looks promising *2024-05-14* Just got the paid app. Haven’t even tried it out yet but looks good. Simple, yet with the needed info. Will update review as I use it. ### 4/5 — ‘91 Cummins Fan *2024-05-14* Perfect for what I need! Speed, audible warning when preset speed is exceeded, and mileage between fill ups. The cost is minimal for what you get. The only thing that seems to be lost from earlier versions is that it turns itself off while I’m driving. I must keep a finger on the display to keep it running continuously. I don’t think I’ve reset something that was previously ‘ON’. Otherwise, it would be a 5 star rating from me. ### 5/5 — Bad woody *2024-03-29* Awesome app. Second time I’ve bought it. I love it. ### 5/5 — Fun app while flying *2024-03-16* I use this on my boat and while flying. Been using for years. Fun Thanks ### 4/5 — Good App *2024-03-05* Been a great app for a few years now. Still a little buggy when you go from hamburger view to hotdog view or vise versa and you’ll have to close the app and reopen again to fix it. Works great though and seems to be accurate. ## Frequently asked questions about Speedometer & Trip Logging ### What does the Speedometer Speed Box app do?
