See your speed. Track your distance. Remember your journey. SpeedNow turns your iPhone into a clear GPS speedometer and a simple companion for everyday trips. Whether you are cycling, commuting, or exploring somewhere new, see your current speed, follow your distance, and keep track of how long you have been on the move. From a short ride around the neighborhood to a longer day out, SpeedNow brings your trip essentials together in an easy-to-read interface. Start a ride, check your progress, pause when you take a break, and stop when you reach your destination. YOUR SPEED AT A GLANCE Watch your current GPS speed on a dedicated speedometer display. A large speed reading and visual gauge make it easy to understand your pace at a glance. Choose a maximum speed for the gauge that suits your journey, so the display feels right for the way you travel. CHOOSE THE UNITS THAT WORK FOR YOU Switch between kilometers per hour, miles per hour, and knots in Settings. Distance uses the matching units: kilometers, miles, or nautical miles. Whether you think in metric or imperial measurements, your speed and distance stay easy to read. TRACK DISTANCE AND TIME See your distance and elapsed trip time alongside your speed. Keep the essentials in view without switching between separate tools. SpeedNow gives you a straightforward way to follow the trip you are taking, from the moment you start until you finish. PAUSE WHEN YOU NEED A BREAK Taking a rest or stopping along the way? Pause your ride and resume when you are ready to continue. Simple ride controls let you manage each journey without turning a quick stop into a separate ride. KEEP YOUR DISPLAY READY Turn on Keep Screen Awake to prevent your iPhone from automatically locking during a ride, including while the ride is paused. Set your preferred units and gauge scale in Settings to make the speedometer fit your routine. GO FURTHER WITH SPEEDOMETER PRO Unlock the map, saved ride details, and ride sharing with Speedometer Pro. FOLLOW YOUR ROUTE LIVE Open the map during a ride to see your location and the route you are recording. View the path as your journey unfolds, check distance and duration beneath the map, and recenter the view on your location with a tap. Move between the speedometer and map depending on what you want to see. REVISIT YOUR RIDES Completed rides appear in History, making it easy to find previous journeys. With Pro, open a saved ride to view its recorded route, distance, and duration. Look back at where you went, revisit a familiar outing, or keep a record of the trips you want to remember. Remove rides from History when you no longer need them. SHARE THE JOURNEY Create a ride summary image from a saved ride and share it through your iPhone's sharing options. Bring your route and trip details together in one image, whether you want to send a ride to a friend or save a visual reminder of your day out. SIMPLE TO MAKE YOUR OWN Use kilometers per hour for one journey or miles per hour for the next. Change the gauge scale, choose whether the screen stays awake, and switch between your current ride and past trips. SpeedNow keeps these everyday controls close at hand, so you can spend less time setting up and more time enjoying your journey. Keep a useful record of your everyday travel, from a daily commute to a route you have never tried before. Each completed ride gives you a new journey to revisit and, with Pro, share with friends. START YOUR NEXT TRIP WITH SPEEDNOW A clear speed display, practical ride controls, and distance and time tracking give you the essentials for everyday use. Add Speedometer Pro when you want to follow your route on the map, explore saved ride details, and share your journeys. Map access, saved ride details, and ride sharing require Speedometer Pro. GPS speed and route recording require location access. Privacy Policy: https://speednow.app/privacy/ Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
