### 2/5 — worked OK, then quit. developer unresponsive.

*2026-02-28, version 2.16*

it worked marginally during the trial period, so i bought a year’s subscription.  then it stopped getting speed limit data from open maps, which every other speedometer program was able to do immediately.  emailed developer. i ran through basic troubleshooting (reboot, uninstall/reinstall) to no avail.  emailed developer a few days later. after a week i just uninstalled it and got a refund. waste of time.

### 3/5 — Bei Dunkelheit nicht brauchbar

*2025-12-02, version 2.12*

Die App funktioniert bei Tageslicht gut, ab Einbruch der Dunkelheit erkennt sie selbst bei beleuchteten Straßen gar nichts mehr. Deswegen leider nur 3 Sterne.

### 4/5 — Much improved

*2025-11-29, version 2.12*

Have had subscription version for over 1 year. Glad I stuck with it after initially poor 1 star review. Latest version a major improvement, camera now functions on uk roads so giving greater responsiveness and accuracy. Will continue to use as a vital aid in trying to stick to the myriad changes of speed limits on modern roads.

### 2/5 — Nutzung in Schweden

*2025-06-12, version 1.95*

Leider funktioniert die Erfassung der Geschwindigkeitsschilder mit der Kamera nicht. Habe alles probiert. Kamera auf S/W, mit Weitwinkel und ohne. Kein Erfolg. Darstellung wäre gut, aber ohne Kamerafunktion nicht viel wert.

### 4/5 — Installation easy Verkehrszeichenerkennung ausbaufähig

*2025-04-30*

Downloads und Installation der App war einfach gestaltet und erfolgte reibungslos. Die Verkehrszeichenerkennung ist jedoch noch ausbaufähig. Die App scheint vor allem in der Bildschirm Mitte nach Geschwindigkeitsbegrenzung zu suchen, so dass bei meiner urbanen Testfahrt doch ein großer Anteil, der Schilder nicht erkannt wurde. Die App erkennt nur runde Schilder. Ein Update zum erkennen von anderen Warnschildern(Achtung) wäre wünschenswert. Fahrten auf Autobahn und Bundesstraße stehen aber noch aus.

### 1/5 — I wish I could use it

*2024-08-15, version 1.94*

Ok so I downloaded the app and it took me over something like a description thing or what ever and the last one was that you have to pay I tried looking for an ex because I dont want the cool extra features it cost money but any time I swipe down it just takes me back to the money page so basically what I’m trying to say is you have to pay in order to use the app😡

### 1/5 — اللغة العربية

*2024-07-08, version 1.94*

التطبيق لا يدعم اللغة العربية

### 4/5 — Brilliant but flawed

*2024-06-03, version 1.93*

I love this app, it is brilliant in concept and mostly so in execution. However, on my 15 Pro Max it misses about half of the speed limit signs and really struggles with the digital motorway overhead signs (in both wide and narrow camera modes). And imho the actual speed needs to be larger, and not red on black as this is difficult to read at a glance.

### 2/5 — Nice Concept, Clean Design, Doesn’t Work

*2024-05-31, version 1.93*

I gave myself every opportunity to be pleased with this app but didn’t get there.  It only detects about one in six to eight signs.  It didn’t detect any that were at an odd angle to the edge of the road, and suburban signs in Australia may be a bit smaller than in other countries but they follow the European design.  It also didn’t pick up temporary speed reduction signs at roadworks which is a situation where it could be most useful.  The app screen is clear and simple, but the data displayed isn’t reliable.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2024-04-13, version 1.93*

This app doesn’t work. It don’t recognise speed limit signs.

### 2/5 — Décevant

*2024-03-31*

Pas d’infos entrée d’agglomération,ce dont j’avais justement besoin

### 1/5 — Buena  para nada

*2023-11-21, version 1.83*

No vale para nada, no ve ni los radares fijos

### 3/5 — A clever app, but…

*2023-10-26, version 1.83*

This app works well on my motorcycle. However, if I am using my phone, then I also use it for navigation such as Waze. I would happily pay for this if it worked in conjunction with a decent navigation app. As such it is a good demonstration of the technology but not so useful in the real world.

### 1/5 — Ok

*2023-10-12, version 1.83*

Ok

### 1/5 — Great App after initial problems with focus

*2023-10-10, version 1.83*

Wrote an initial review because I couldn’t get it to focus and identify the signs. I knew at the time the windscreen mount was an issue, but thought my brand new IPhone SE just wasn’t focused.

Have now bought a new windscreen mount that doesn’t get in the way of the camera, and bingo, it works so much better. If the reported speed changes as you pass it, it found the sign, if it’s 60-100 meters further on, it’s using its database.

Only slightly annoying issue is in road works with reduced speed sign posted. It immediately finds the sign, but soon rejects it for its higher database record. It repeats this several times, but you are drawn to this.

Just LOVE the “bell”. So recognisable and you don’t lose interest like you do with warnings on satnav’s.

UK mount I purchased is an Ipalm, car holder, clip & go.

### 1/5 — Funktioniert  nicht

*2023-09-26, version 1.83*

Es werden nur Verkehrszeichen mit Geschwindigkeit Angabe ab und zu erkannt, andere Verkehrszeichen werden generell nicht erkannt. Nicht empfehlenswert!

### 1/5 — Funktioniert nicht.

*2023-08-27, version 1.83*

Funktioniert einfach nicht. Erkennt die Zeichen nicht.

### 1/5 — Pas de carte

*2026-04-21*

Appl pas précise : vitesse autorisée 110 km - vitesse affichée : 90 km
Il n’y a pas de carte
On ne peut pas rajouter des points dangereux

### 1/5 — Not working as described

*2026-04-10, version 2.18*

Shows on CarPlay but says I send to subscribe even though I paid for subscription.  Speed limits rarely show and wrong more than correct.

### 1/5 — Useless for my region

*2025-11-28, version 2.12*

It does not show the speed at all, it does not read the speed signs

### 1/5 — Not compatible With Carplay

*2025-10-21, version 1.95*

When it starts, Carplay crashes. You have the choice between controlling speed and reaching destination…

### 1/5 — Хренота

*2025-04-26*

Предлагает что-то купить - а что - непонятно.

### 1/5 — Schlechte App

*2025-03-30, version 1.95*

Kostet zu viel.

### 1/5 — Absolute rubbish!

*2025-03-02, version 1.95*

Not reading the speed signs at all.

### 1/5 — Ужасно

*2025-01-03*

Не работает днище а не приложение

### 1/5 — No sound warning/camera

*2024-12-28, version 1.94*

Have subscription version, but cannot get the sound warnings to function. Sent two emails to developer for support, no response. Like the app but will not renew sub if cannot get warning sounds to function.
Update: tried delete and reload, now not just no alarm sound, but camera does not seem to work! 
Also tried Apple Support to see if they could help. Could only point me toward contacting 3rd party app developer, write a review (have already done these), or try for a refund. Have decided to pass on the refund and hope for an update to improve what could be a very good app.

### 1/5 — Beschwerde

*2024-10-07, version 1.94*

Es fehlt in der Installationsroutine der Button „Kauf abbrechen“ oder Ähnliches.

Habe eben versehentlich gekauft und stehe nun vor dem Pronlem, das Abo wieder loszuwerden. 

Jetzt, sofort ohne Zeitaufwand.

Diese Bewertung bitte als das nehmen was sie ist: eine fristlose Kündigung während der Inbetriebnahme.

### 5/5 — 普通にできるね

*2025-06-29*

多分このアプリは日本で使うなら正確に測れない標識もあるかもしれんが一応あんま実用性じゃないかな日本だとでこれヨーロッパかアメリカ推奨かな

### 5/5 — Good  Detail App

*2024-11-10, version 1.94*

The photos and details are accurate  and  very persist  I rely on this App.

### 5/5 — Superb

*2023-08-28, version 1.83*

I used in several countries and works very well and perfect

### 5/5 — Speed

Awsome

### 5/5 — Great app

*2023-01-04, version 1.81*

Tried many apps this one’s the best

### 5/5 — Super

### 5/5 — Boualem Awati

*2022-12-12, version 1.81*

Gut

### 5/5 — Learner drivers

*2022-11-22, version 1.80*

Good for checking that they are doing the speed they are allowed. And checking your card speed Wehrmacht passing a camera with out the themed on display. 10/10

### 5/5 — Excellent!

*2022-11-01, version 1.80*

This app is for anyone who can’t afford any more points on their licence. It’s very accurate and can read the variable digital gantry speed limits over smart motorways as well as normal speed limit signs. Absolutely brilliant. At night on streets without street lighting it won’t pick up most signs but the GPS puts the road speed limit in anyway so that doesn’t really matter. For those complaining about adds popping up, jeeeez just pay for the pro version.
