Ratings and reviews

Great, thanks! It would be sooo nice if it could show the average speed of a started "activity". And that you could also pause and resume that activity using a button in (or maybe simply tapping on) the overlay. I'd like to use it as an overlay to the Garmin Varia app when cycling (shows me radar info on vehicles approaching from behind). This way, I could have SPEED, AVG. SPEED, DURATION, AND PAUSE/RESUME overlaid on the Varia app. But I do realise this might not be what you want with your app.

Does exactly what I want. Great. 29 April 2026: no longer remembers the location of the overlay, always starts in the middle.

Great app. Would be great if you could have a timeout on the startup screen. I use this in my car (Carlinkit), and it's set to start on boot up. Just leaves the startup screen that I have to clear each time I start the car. Easy enough to do but would prefer not to have to do... Again, 5/5 for a great app. EDIT It's the main App screen that tells you the "SERVICE IS RUNNING".

What’s new

- Improved colors of start/stop button, to clarify actions
