Scooter Speed is a simple speedometer app that uses your phone's GPS receiver to calculate your current speed and measure your travelled distance. It is completely free, with no adverts or any data collection/tracking. I made this app because there were no free speedometer apps that weren't either riddled with adverts or charging a subscription. Hope you find it useful!
