Stopped working at all

Now it doesn’t even tell me what speed I’m going, it never did download the db.

Would be great if it worked

I left the app running for two hours so i could download the speed limits like it was saying it was doing. It didn’t work. I deleted and reinstalled the app and did the same, it still didn’t work. the speedometer works great and the circle fills up as you increase your speed, which is the main reason i downloaded this app. I wanted an app where i would be able to see how close I am to the speed limit through my peripheral vision easily and also have it alert me if i was a little heavy on the gas. I think this app would be a great pick and lots more people would use it regularly if it had a working speed limit database. it’s disappointing that it doesn’t.

Out of date

I have not seen a correct speed limit yet. Says it’s downloading from data base but limits are consistently incorrect. Bummed I paid for

Didn’t work for basic functionality

Wasn’t able to detect 40km/hr local streets, just assumed 60km/hr

Needs Knots

I really, really like the look of this.
Needs knots for boats, though.

Response from developer

Hi! Thank you a lot for your comment, we've ticked it in our wish-list. Nevertheless we can't promise its implementation very soon, we'll see what we can do with it in future versions. We're sorry that we failed to meet your expectations fully! Thank you once again! Have a nice day!

Only works on highways

Found that it does not work on side streets or city streets. If the app does not know the speed, just show - - instead of showing 55 or 60 on a residential road where it is really 25. If other apps can tell me what the side streets are,why can’t this app. This one does a much better job of alerting when it knows the right speed.

Poor customer support

I have struggled with this gadget and hudway ld tech support for 6 months. Support has been less than helpful or really has offered any help other than YouTube videos and a 50 dollar credit. I was given this credit to essentially go away. But I was told even though I couldn’t return the device that I could have a credit and give it away as a gift or sell it. Well I’ve tried it on 5 iPhones and 2 androids and not once could I get it to work reliably. Fidgeting with this device while driving is an absolute hazard as it constantly goes out. It is not a reliable hud. And I’m super angry that how this company has treated me and stalled me out past return. I was told by a second person that I could return it and then kasy quickly jumped in to tell me I couldn’t. Your product doesn’t work and your business practices are questionable.

Update: Nope still doesn’t work. This company keeps trying to send me the same three videos. Not once has their product come into question. Very in helpful. I would definitely dissuade people from buying. Need to contact the BBB

Great app but doesn’t work well in NZ

Hi, I really like this app but doesn’t work well in New Zealand. Please upgrade. Thanks

Response from developer

As soon as the providers will deliver us the new map data, we will implement it in form of update via App Store. Please be patient. Feel free to contact us at support@hudwayapp.com if you have any questions. Have a nice day!

Hopeless

App does not change from 60kmh, have emailed the app developer but heard nothing back so will be asking Apple fir a refund, don’t waste your money or time, wish I could rate it 0 stars

Response from developer

Hi! Thank you for your honest feedback. We're very sorry that the product failed to satisfy you. Actually, we've recently got a message from another user with a similar complaint. We have put this on the list and will try to implement the solution as soon as possible. Hope you'll like new versions of the app more. Cheers!

Hard to calibrate

App does not give you the correct speed limit for the road you’re on. Should be simple.

No data. Rubbish app

Database loading failed.
I tried their map app. That failed to download offline maps rendering it useless as well.
RUBBISH COMPANY WITH RUBBISH APPS.

Hudway Speedometer

No stars from me! Would be exactly what I want IF it worked! Does NOT know speed limits in New Zealand. It just stuck on 60 kmh all the time. Developer said they're busy with something else, and can't fix it. That's not fair :(

GARBAGE!!

A 5 year old can make a better app than this!!! Just a waste of time!!!!!!

Useless in its' current state

Pretty useless, not showing current speed, and clearly has no information about the actual speed limit , making it a waste of effort to even try it, and definitely not worth buying in its' current state.

Very disappointed

Map shows only 60 miles on 75 Miles per hour

A lot of good and some not

This app is the best of ours kind, perhaps seconds to none, but, yes! A big but, the app speed warning is very annoying only because it more often than not does not know the true speed limit even though I updated the database consistently forcing me to set the vision speed for 10 miles over which then fails you advise me when I'm just 5 over which is a unique feature to this app. The only other thing is it will suddenly say I'm going much slower than I actually am including going 0. It worked better as a free app but will be the best app anywhere if they fix things up.

Not what expected

Thought it will tell me the speed limit on those unexpected zones when suddenly the speed changes. But no" it's guessing the speed limit on most areas. Not accurate at all. Dedicated one day to pay attention to speed limits posted and in most (95%) was wrong. Only right on the standard 55 and 60 on freeways which you don't need an app to remember
