About this app

This simplistic app displays your current speed, obtained from GPS readings, as an icon in your status bar at the top of your screen. This speedometer allows you to check how fast you are travelling without having to switch between apps.

Please be aware of the dangers of using your phone while driving.

This app is open source, find it on Github: https://github.com/Waboodoo/Status-Bar-Tachometer

It doesn't show the speed in the status bar. you have to tap on it and then it opens a screen with a speedometer. Response to developer: I did allow the notification, but it only shows when I drag down the notification bar to open up everything in it. when I think of something showing in the status bar, I think of it being across the top of the screen with the other icons all the time.

It should show as a notification, same as other apps. You might have to adjust the notification settings.

a nice simple application, that isn't intrusively spying, showing me ads,stealing my info, or watching me in any way. it just shows how fast.I go in a car, nothing more just as advertised.

This is an epic app! A must have that I didn't realize I needed until I installed it. The speed is very accurate. If anyone is having trouble with getting the notification working, go to settings and set the notification priority for this app to medium. Thst way it shows in the notification bar without making a noise.
