Negative review M by anonym
Would be good but keep having probles with temoving folders 2/5
Neutral review Good, but lacking some essentials by anonym
Needs an auto shut down feature when removed from power source. And, it needs the ability to cap how much room it uses on my device, and auto cycling through, deleting the oldest to save the newest. Also, the ability to set it to auto upload to YouTube or another server would be nice. 3/5
Negative review Locked Up Always by anonym
Would always lock up when trying to use record to video, even in the small sized. It crashed every single time I tried to record any sized/quality/type of video. I'm using a Thunderbolt with Android 2.3.4. 2/5
Negative review Can't view video by anonym
"unable to play this video" when trying to watch my recordings after, making this app useless 2/5
Neutral review Ok by anonym
What it does is great, but needs to integrate with tasked, or at least auto start / stop 3/5
Positive review Video Recording Tips for the users with issues by anonym
1. Try to turn off the Map View (and/or Translucent Map, Map Rotation options) while video recording; this would reduces many problems because Map View uses data connection and good amount of computer power. And after recording, when playing the recorded videos user could add Map View back to the player to see the GPS location information. 2. Try to turn off WiFi and/or Mobile Data connection during the video recording. 3. Without any internet data connection, the GPS data and video/photo recording would work without any problems; only Map View is using the internet data and required. To turning off the Map View will help more time/power to the video/photo/gps recording processing, so less errors... ^^; 4. Try to use small preview (safe mode) option while recording... ^^; 5/5
Negative review Doesn't work by anonym
The purpose of this app is to record video as a dash cam. What does this app fail to do? Record video. It crashes every time. Side note for those reading this. I'm using a Samsung Galaxy S2 on 4.1.2 1/5
Negative review Galaxy nexus by anonym

Negative review Doesn't work with gs3 by anonym
Picture rolls the top to the bottom, the lower part of the picture comes down from the top of the screen 1/5
Positive review Love this app by anonym
I use it everyday. Since I do a lot of driving. 5/5
Neutral review Great BUT ...... by anonym
Fantastic app following a VERY close near miss thought I want a dash cam and found this app. Works brilliantly as the free app BUT paid for crashes every time you try to open settings. Oh well free version it is for now then. Once it's sorted will upgrade. 3/5
Neutral review Works OK sometimes by anonym
For some reason on my Galaxy S3 the video screen randomly splits in two and reverses the top and bottom portions. I thought maybe it was just on the view screen but nope, it actually recorded it that way. It sometimes self corrects after the 5 minute split. It would be nice to specify the split length of the videos. Also, half the people who reviewed this app are morons that can't follow simple instructions. 3/5
Negative review Nice layout but not done. by anonym
The layout is very, but speedometer doesn't work. Menus are non-standard. Its just not ready. 2/5
Negative review Force close... by anonym
...when changing between portrait and landscape. 2/5
Neutral review How to export? by anonym
Hello, how do I export the video+speedo overlay+map overlay for viewing or editing in other video players or uploading to e.g. youtube? 3/5
Negative review Keeps freezing by anonym
On my galaxy tab. Wasted too many hours. 1/5
Negative review No speedometer by anonym
No matter what I try the GPS Speedometer won't work 1/5
Neutral review To save on SD card by anonym
Works great for photos but yields corrupted videos on Samsung S3. To save on my SD card put '/mnt/extSdCard/dashboardcam' as the custom record folder. I am switching to AutoGuard Blackbox Dash Cam app. 3/5
Positive review Generally good. by anonym
It needs to keep recording with the screen off. My S3 gets about 40 minutes of record time, which could be extended if I could turn off the screen. Recently began frame slippage and rotation. So the image displays and records with the frame rotating like a merry-go-round. 4/5
Negative review Keeps crashing on gs3 by anonym
1/5
Negative review Not working by anonym
Not working on s3 after up date 1/5
Positive review Getting better by anonym
First, I gave this app one star, because it used to crash on all of my three phones. Then the developer wrote me and asked me to turn on the GPS and the app will not crash, anymore. He was right; once I turned on the GPS, the app works fine. Still, I cannot give if five stars, because sometimes I don't want to use the GPS. The GPS markings in my footages have no relevance to me, so I would appreciate if I would have the chance of working with this software without turning on the GPS receiver. Until then, I'll give it four stars, with all my heart. 4/5
Neutral review by anonym
Nice app with features and idea, but ads pop-up every time changing screens. That's just too much. Uninstalling. 3/5
Negative review Unistalled after few days by anonym
Maximum 15 mins. of recording is too short, the speedo and map is not being recorded together with the footage, apps freezes every now and then, cannot edit date & time. 1/5
Negative review Horrible by anonym
Deleted with a few mins of install. Horrible UI - nagging ads all over - just can't use it. 1/5
Negative review Nexus 5 by anonym

Positive review by anonym

Positive review Works great where others fail by anonym
Don't understand the overall average rating. I tried many apps in this category.. Many of the top rated fail. This one works great. 5/5
Neutral review Nick by anonym
Since changing phone to Z2 this app has major problems for me. Main one being loss of picture quality. Very pixalated and out of focus. Sad as I used this app a lot. 3/5
Negative review Has potential but needs lots of work. by anonym
The free version has way too many ads! The hud elements available such as the speedometer were great. Would have liked more customization of the speedometer. A smaller size matching the date/time stamp would have been perfect. It wouldn't recognize a 64gb class 10 card I had installed but worked fine with a 16gb class 2 card. 2/5
Negative review Way too many annoying ads by anonym
Wanting to control my screen. Seems it has the features, but I cannot load the track on Google maps and the time and distance and waypoints onto calendar 2/5
Positive review by anonym

Neutral review File Explorer causes the app to hang by anonym
Was looking for a way to redirect the video files to extsdcard. Using file Explorer, going down to root directory, selecting extsdcard results in app hang. Needing to reboot to get out of the hung situation 3/5
