Acceleration and deceleration graphs indicate driving efficiency Other: — Internet Radio — Land meter.

Attention! 1. On a clear day, the device screen brightness is typically insufficient to give a decent reflection for HUD mode. In that situation, you can use the app in standard mode with the phone fixed with some mount, OR stay HUD using our HUDWAY Glass accessory (more at hudwayglass.com or see bellow). At night, in dusk, or in dull weather the reflection is normally well-discernible. 2. Continuous use of geolocation services (GPS and GLONASS) may drain your device battery fast. 3. When driving, make sure that your smartphone or tablet is well fixed in some mount or on some sticky pad, and doesn't prevent you from clearly seeing the road. HUDWAY Glass car accessory makes smartphone work as a head-up display in any car even in daytime. Removes doubling, offers sharp enlarged reflection image.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Speedometer × at 4.6 against HUD Widgets's 3.5. Speedometer × also leads on ratings volume (818 vs 109). HUD Widgets's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 5 months). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Speedometer × holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Speedometer × has 818 ratings behind it against 109, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 55% of HUD Widgets's written reviews are positive against 52% of Speedometer ×'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

HUD Widgets ships an update every 2 months, Speedometer × every 5 months. The most recent releases landed on October 11, 2026 and October 14, 2026 respectively.
