ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

DC200 DashCam holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: THINKWARE DASH CAM LINK has 216 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 12% of DC200 DashCam's written reviews are positive against 13% of THINKWARE DASH CAM LINK's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

DC200 DashCam ships an update every 6 months, THINKWARE DASH CAM LINK every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
