Ratings and reviews

The footage that the video takes as you ride is very clear and easy to watch with the video stabilization, and it doesn't use a lot of phone battery because it minimizes its footprint so to speak by turning the video viewing off until needed, but is still recording at the same time. That is a good option to save your phone battery. About the only thing I see that could be improved would be to have a longer arm reach to raise the phone up higher. If it had any longer arm I would give it 5 stars.

Works for cars and not just bikes. As far as I know, works great. However, there are a few things I would consider issues. 1: Whenever I start the app with a Bluetooth audio connection to my car, the audio thinks I'm on a call for half a second, which causes issues. 2: Gesture based controls are great but I would like the ability to change them. While driving, I have my phone on split screen between maps and the dashcam app, and if I touch that side of the screen, this app does something. 7/10

I wanted to use this as a 'BodyCam' & tracker while out walking at night for personal safety, but as the free version doesn't support background recording with the screen off, it's quite useless & it's not worth paying a significant monthly subscription just to have background recording. UPDATE: it is not an Android limitation. Other apps such as AutoBoy & Droid Dashcam background record while screen locked with permission 'Display over other apps'.
