### 4/5 — Carplay

*2025-12-14, version 2024.1*

Carplay support pls and average speed widget

### 4/5 — Nice!

*2025-07-22, version 2024.1*

Nice graphics.

### 3/5 — It’s a good app but..

*2024-09-02, version 2024.1*

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.

### 4/5 — ‘91 Cummins Fan

*2024-05-14, version 2024.1*

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.

### 4/5 — Good App

*2024-03-05, version 2024.1*

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.

### 3/5 — Ausbaufähig

*2023-11-02, version 2022.1*

optisch super, Einstellungsmöglichkeiten o.k., ABER der Wechsel von Quer- zu Hochmodus führt immer zu heftigen Darstellungsproblemen!

### 2/5 — Doesn’t work of fast train

*2023-10-10, version 2022.1*

Got this app to know how fast we were traveling from Barcelona to Madrid. No info available on speed. Says the gps is not accurate

### 5/5 — Speed box

*2023-02-14, version 2022.1*

Works well and used regularly

### 5/5 — Terrific

*2023-01-10, version 2022.1*

Quiet handy for logging my bike ride to work - use it to keep track of my improvement

### 5/5 — Very convenient

*2022-07-10, version 2022.1*

I use this on my boat, I
Nice to record speed, distance, and averages. Highly recommend!

### 5/5 — Speedometer Speed Box

*2022-06-23, version 2022.1*

I downloaded this a few years back, and it really has come in handy. I don’t use it all the time, but it is great to have when you need it. I believe it to be very accurate with speed, distance and elevation. 
Heads up display is pretty cool too.

### 5/5 — Love this App

*2022-05-29, version 2022.1*

Have had this app for a long time, several iPhones later it’s still with me. Great for boats with old or no speedometers and fast cars who’s speedometers just can’t keep up with the real top speed.

### 2/5 — Not as good since update

*2022-01-07, version 2022.1*

Used to enjoy using but since update when using it in landscape (as I do) the digits are now smaller and with large gaps between them making it difficult to read. I’m now looking for an alternative app with a better display. Disappointing.

### 5/5 — Review

*2021-11-25, version 2021.1*

Love the app. Use it all the time

### 5/5 — Love it

*2021-09-24, version 2021.1*

Great app, but layout now not working properly after iOS 15 upgrade. 
Please fix.

### 5/5 — ‘91 Cummins Fan

*2021-07-28, version 2021.1*

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.

### 5/5 — Spot on

*2021-07-01, version 2021.1*

I drive an old truck with a temperamental speedometer. This app works great for monitoring my speed and keeping up with mileage for oil changes. I’ve recommended it to others, and would would be lost without it.

### 5/5 — Proof of speed

*2021-06-08, version 2021.1*

I’m sure that everyone that has ever been issued a ticket is thinking that was not me. Well with everything that this program can do, you can prove it. You gets second by second printout. You get times, gps position, your speed in the second by second graph. And you can E-mail to yourself and most importantly you can use it as a tool in court to dispute the ticket. If the ticket was truly made out to the wrong person, you can hands down prove it .

### 5/5 — Handy functional app.

*2021-06-04, version 2021.1*

Accurate and easy to use.

### 5/5 — Fun App for Driving

*2021-01-20, version 2020.02*

Awesome and versatile app to have handy, esp where police speed traps may be set. If stopped, you have data to prove your suspected speed if you disagree with the radar gun. 

Love the altimeter and the analog speedometer as well. 

Great app!! Highly recommended!!

### 1/5 — Used to be good

*2019-02-03, version 8.2.1*

I used the free version for years because it was so accurate, then all of a sudden several mo tha back something went wrong and the speed fluctuates all over the place. I just mistakenly paid $4 thinking I had by mistake erased it from my phone and it wouldn't charge me to redownload but no...I just paid $4 for the non free version of the same app that STILL doesn't work. I'll be driving set on cruise control and it will vary by more than 10 mph over a few minutes. USELESS! Oh, and by the way, there is NO support. It's a dead link.

### 1/5 — Would rate 0 if I could

*2018-10-31, version 8.2.1*

The pictures in this app are misleading. Be warned; you cannot have an active speedometer on your maps app with this app. All this app does is show where you are on a map and the speed you travel at without letting you navigate. Do not download this app. Waste of $4. Again, don’t use this app!

### 1/5 — Map is useless

*2018-07-13, version 8.2.1*

They are plenty of speedometer type apps in the App Store- the one and only reason I forked over 4 of my hard earned dollars for this one is the map view mode- the problem with it? It doesn’t follow you- you just drive right off the map! So either you can constantly move the map to wherever you are which is dumb (also, there’s also no map center button so good luck with that) or you can just zoom out to the point where you won’t drive off the map but you’re so far out you can’t see any of the streets which is kind of the point. Don’t bother using the contact developer button bc they are out drinking a mocha latte they bought with your $4 and won’t bother answering

### 1/5 — Rip off

*2018-05-27, version 8.0*

I paid for it but had to uninstall it and reinstall it because it quit working. It made me pay for it again.

### 1/5 — Professional Driver

*2018-04-17, version 8.0*

This would be a 5 star app, but since it won’t work in background it renders it useless.

### 1/5 — I don't think the developer cares!

*2017-08-15, version 7.0*

It works, but needs to be updated.

### 1/5 — Not for me.

*2016-09-09, version 7.0*

Novelty value at best. Beware anything that shows you doing 7kph while sitting at the computer. Speed variations too much at times.

### 1/5 — Kinda of useless

*2016-03-25, version 7.0*

I got this and paid $3.99 for the promise that it could alert me when going over the speed limit, advertised as “warning signal when driving too fast.”  I have plenty of other apps, like Waze or Google Maps, that can show me how fast I’m driving.  But the feature I bought it for is essentially useless:  you have to set a speed “limit” manually, and it will beep if you exceed that speed.  But that doesn’t help at all when you’re traveling through towns where the speed limits change frequently.  Based on the app description, I thought it would adjust the alert to the speed limit of my current location, but it does nothing of the sort.   Bottom line, this is $4 for features I can get for free elsewhere.  Buyer beware.

### 1/5 — No good for iPhone 3

*2014-02-04, version 5.2.4*

App used to work well, but no longer works on iPhone 3. Too old I suppose.

### 1/5 — Doesn't work.

*2013-11-02, version 5.2.4*

Rubbish. Bought this to check my speed on a train with my kid but it couldn't get sufficient GPS accuracy. Looks like it can't estimate from cell phone mast triangulation.  Don't waste your money on this.

### 5/5 — Works reliably

*2026-07-05, version 2026.6*

Provides a large display of vehicle speed, reliably. Display has been checked against a measured mile with good accuracy.

### 5/5 — Speed

*2025-09-19, version 2024.1*

This is a great app

### 5/5 — Looks promising

*2024-05-14, version 2024.1*

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.

### 5/5 — Bad woody

*2024-03-29, version 2024.1*

Awesome app. Second time I’ve bought it. I love it.

### 5/5 — Fun app while flying

*2024-03-16, version 2024.1*

I use this on my boat and while flying. Been using for years.  Fun Thanks

### 5/5 — Fantastic Speedometer

*2023-09-16, version 2022.1*

Accurate, multiple displays, adjustable speed range, additional info like altitude, fastest speed, average speed, others. Love it!

### 5/5 — Does what I need

*2023-05-10, version 2022.1*

This is what I was looking for.  I Like the options and the speed on the maps, however can’t find how to change it back to just the speed meter from the maps view. Otherwise it’s fantastic and works well on my iPhone 12 running iOS version 15.3.1

### 5/5 — Great!

*2023-03-22, version 2022.1*

Love this app! Easy to use and very helpful! Ive been using this app for a couple of years.

### 5/5 — Shekko, the Happy Motorist

*2023-02-28, version 7.0*

I have had Speedometer Speed Box on my devices for quite a while, now, and have cycled through several other speed apps, as well. I love the simplicity of this one, as it is very clear in my peripheral vision and the analogue needle, almost subliminally, keeps me tracking at any speed that I need. I am about to mount my old iPad 2 onto the dash of my car because it has lost most of it's apps through redundancy and lack of support. Hooray to you for an app that can keep my old beast alive in it's retirement. I'm very happy indeed. Thank you Hans.

### 5/5 — Shows altitude

*2023-02-25, version 2022.1*

But screen rotation is broken
