ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Go Dashcam! holds the better App Store score, 2.5 against 1.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Sony | Imaging Edge Mobile has 6.7K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 16% of Sony | Imaging Edge Mobile's written reviews are positive against 13% of Go Dashcam!'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Sony | Imaging Edge Mobile ships an update every 3 months, Go Dashcam! every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
