M by anonym Would be good but keep having probles with temoving folders 2/5
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
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
Can't view video by anonym "unable to play this video" when trying to watch my recordings after, making this app useless 2/5
Ok by anonym What it does is great, but needs to integrate with tasked, or at least auto start / stop 3/5
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
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
Galaxy nexus by anonym Did not work 1/5
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
Love this app by anonym I use it everyday. Since I do a lot of driving. 5/5
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
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
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
Force close... by anonym ...when changing between portrait and landscape. 2/5
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
Keeps freezing by anonym On my galaxy tab. Wasted too many hours. 1/5
No speedometer by anonym No matter what I try the GPS Speedometer won't work 1/5
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
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
Keeps crashing on gs3 by anonym 1/5
Not working by anonym Not working on s3 after up date 1/5
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
by anonym Nice app with features and idea, but ads pop-up every time changing screens. That's just too much. Uninstalling. 3/5
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
Horrible by anonym Deleted with a few mins of install. Horrible UI - nagging ads all over - just can't use it. 1/5
Nexus 5 by anonym POP UP ADS/OFFER...AGGRESSIVE BEHAVIOR force stop uninstall.. CHANGED desktop image to application background.. VIRUS MALWARE.. UNINSTALL. 1/5
Try to start app and shuts off by anonym Can't open app moto RAZR 1/5
by anonym I was searching for this type of application for long time. Must try .. 5/5
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
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
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
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
by anonym loved it 5/5
brutal by anonym install - launch - start ap - crash and freeze phone. Samsung Galaxy. Report sent : ( 1/5
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
