Ratings and reviews

This is a very nice dash cam app that does everything I wanted up until Android 12 came out. For security reasons Android 12 won't allow the cameras to be running in the background if the screen is turned off and I get that, but I would think the developer might be able to get around that issue by having a button on the video screen that opens a black "page" that has a button on it to get back and only says something like "back camera recording" to make Google happy...

I have to say, this app is exactly what I wanted and does exactly what is suppose to do. Works in the background. I can even play music through Amazon music via Bluetooth to my car stereo while this app is recording audio and video in the background. Easy to start and stop recording whether app is in background or on screen. Quality out audio and video adjustable, but is excellent. Videos are shareable and can be trimmed. I use this app every time I drive, especially my commercial vehicle.

After a week or so of use, the biggest complaint is that when you go into background mode, the icon that's a big stop button doesn't stop the recording. You have to pull down the top app tray and press the pause button. If you go into the app while its recording it auto stops the recording instead of just showing it on screen. It does what it's meant to do for the most part, but due to broken features I'm leaving it 3 star. Also, dont bribe people to leave reviews.
