Is it lava? Is it melted skin? Let users change that cringeworthy photo please. Also a rotation button would be excellent so we don't need to unlock rotation while driving to see the landscape style. ### 5/5 — Seems to work fine *2014-10-24, version 1.3* Been following our speed on Amtrak. ### 5/5 — Very accurate *2014-06-08, version 1.3* Great app to use for lifted vehicles with oversized tires. Very accurate. ### 5/5 — Great Speedometer. *2013-12-12* Had to use this when speedometer on car broke. Driving the tollway, it was essential to make certain my speed was appropriate. Of course the iPad had to be on the cellar data network. It was easy to read and matched perfectly the speed on the navigation program on iPhone. ### 5/5 — Accurate *2013-12-08* This speedometer is accurate. Like put an apple on your head and let is shoot an arrow accurate. You can always trust that it will have the correct speed displayed. The only thing that could make it better would be a HUD display option! ### 2/5 — Analog speedo *2013-11-09, version 1.3* Works perfect , looks good and is acurate top speed on my vintage motorbike , and shows exactly 60 mph in my speed limited kw truck , good app ### 5/5 — Awesome *2013-10-26, version 1.3* Great for calibrating my classic auto speedometer and odometer. ### 5/5 — User *2013-08-29, version 1.3* Excellent !! ### 5/5 — Accurate App *2013-08-04, version 1.3* This app matches the accuracy of my GPS speed computation. ### 5/5 — Love the app - wish the odometer didn't reset after each use *2013-07-24* If possible, it would be much appreciated if there was an option for the odometer to keep a running tally from each time the app is opened as opposed to automatically resetting each time... Other than that the app is terrific!!! ### 5/5 — Simple, works, easy to use *2013-06-28, version 1.3* No flaws it's just a simple app that's easy to use without adds, keep up the good work guys. ### 4/5 — Nice but... *2013-06-23, version 1.3* Like this app and the style... Very accurate but.... 100mph as max speed on the dial is a tad annoying... Would like to vary this in settings however there is no option for this... Please fix developers if you would.... ### 5/5 — Impressive!!! *2013-05-30, version 1.3* I have tried a few of speedometer apps, this app is the best ever! Keep it up and good job! ### 4/5 — It functional... *2013-05-15, version 1.3* It's a good app. It does what it says does. It would be nice if it saved and recorded your trip mileage. ### 3/5 — Nice & Clean *2013-05-09, version 1.3* I liked the simplicity, found it to be accurate, clean and clear design however the graphics are not smooth on my iPhone 4. A bit laggy, not due to GPS but perhaps due to the processor of this particular device... Oh and it eats battery like you'd expect! ### 2/5 — Ugly beyond belief. Needless alerts. *2013-04-19* The graphics used by this app in vertical mode are ugly beyond belief. It is very annoying that every time you tap a button, a confirmation alert appears and there's no way to disable them. It feels like a badly written Windows 95 app. The one redeeming quality is the simple, clear view offered in landscape mode. But it can't be used for vertical. The two views couldn't be more different, another inexplicable choice made by the developer. Not worth your money. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Continual glitch *2015-10-21, version 1.4* Don't bother. Every time it goes into landscape mode it's to big to fit the screen properly then gets stuck when you try going back to portrait. ### 1/5 — Now Broken *2015-09-22* Latest version no longer works properly on 4S with ios 7.1.2. Switching to landscape completely messes up the display. Please fix. ### 1/5 — Horrible *2015-03-29, version 1.3* It made me waste a dollar and froze my phone and I paid 50 dollars to replace it when it was fine ### 1/5 — Waste of time *2014-07-10, version 1.3* App does not work. Made sure location services was on, rebooted phone etc. Don't waste your time. ### 1/5 — Fair at best *2013-01-17, version 1.3* Slow to update. Fairly accurate compared to other GPS based devices. It could be so much better given the minimalist design of the overall app. ### 1/5 — Speed *2012-12-21, version 1.3* Does not read my speed at all. Don't waste your money. ### 1/5 — Worthless *2012-10-21, version 1.3* App would not read above 132 mph waste of money. ### 1/5 — DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY!!!! *2012-10-12, version 1.3* Readings were off 50-90 percent of the time! Even one star is high of a rating for this piece of junk ### 1/5 — Doesn't save settings, miles oriented and no digits in vertical *2012-06-16, version 1.3* Just doesn't live up to my expectations. The design is a bit ... wanna be posh in vertical mode. No way to change. The default mode is miles, but I use Kms and feel a bit ... second rank user I have to set SP+ to Kms every time. You only have large digits in horizontal mode. Small digits are present in in vertical, but small and inside a std speedometer. Delete, trash and please cash back ### 1/5 — Wow! I moved 10 miles in 60 seconds! *2012-06-11, version 1.3* Without ever recording a speed of more than ZERO mph! Junk-as* App! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — fun on the runways of life *2020-09-05* fun ### 5/5 — Nice app *2016-09-21* Easy to use and does what's promised. ### 5/5 — Good for racers! *2015-10-19, version 1.4* This is very intuitive application, I use this even when I walk! ### 5/5 — Pretty accurate speedometer *2015-09-19* The app is accurate but it would be nice if the dial's max reading was more than 100 mph (I check the speed of an Amtrak train and 100 mph is not enough) Also It would be nice if by tapping the Speedometer, it would shrink in size to let say .5"x.5" and I could place it in any corner of the screen of my choice by dragging it. In a mini mode it should also be transparent and have the ability to stay on top of other running applications, so I can use it as a reference while running other applications. By tapping the mini Speedometer, it should switch back to its original full screen size mode. What do you think? Can you do that? ### 5/5 — Really cool *2015-06-25, version 1.3* I love the app. One thing I would change is to have GPS set for "only when using". I am very stingy with my battery. 😏😀 ### 5/5 — Sweet App *2015-05-05, version 1.3* Nice app for my golf cart. Speed was radar checked spot on! ### 5/5 — I'm lovin it! *2015-03-19, version 1.3* I use it for my RC Rustler. It's perfect. ### 5/5 — Speedometer *2015-01-26, version 1.3* App works well, accurate and easy to use. Very cool. ### 5/5 — Great *2015-01-19, version 1.3* No speedometer on my motorcycle, this works great!! ### 5/5 — Very good app *2014-11-20, version 1.3* It gets the job done --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
