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

in my opinion, this is a terrible dashcam app, ESPECIALLY for a bike. spent more time getting it set up for basic stuff that my phone does itself. wasn't helpful or even useful in any way. may have been for someone else, but definitely not me.
