► Further infos for "Car Camera - Video Speedometer"
• Video recorder movie format: MPEG-4, 720p
• Supports video recording in landscape & portrait
• Instruments are movable and available in different sizes
• GPS and Gyro are used to update telemetry data in realtime
• Supports metric, imperial and nautical units
• Universal app running on iPhone and iPad
• "Car Camera - Video Speedometer" always tries to setup the highest fps camera mode available on the device. However the actual frame rates achieved are lower and they vary depending on the graphics power of your device. The realtime telemetry update along with realtime video movie recording and concurrent display update is a demanding process that requires certain power. Therefore older devices might experience lower frame rates.
• Please note that "Car Camera - Video Speedometer" can be started on devices without GPS support. However it does not make much sense on these devices since GPS-based telemetry data such as speed, location, etc. cannot be updated.
• Audio recording is now supported
• Since nearly all battery consuming services like GPS, GPU graphics, gyroscope, video camera, movie encoding and movie recording are simultaneously used, the app is battery demanding. Take care of that!
• Frame rates: iPhone 6 and above approx. 60 fps, iPhone 5 approx. 30 fps depending on telemetry displays selected

Good app. I used it to record my mph while riding my go cart. It works as advertised! I like it. And please add a function where you can set the recording quality? Very satisfied!

I just downloaded this app. I’ve had several car video recorder apps, this one ranks near the top. I like the automatic saving to my phone videos. The only issue I have is the continuous recording. I’d prefer to have the option of 15 to 30 minute intervals. Thank you
Very Cool !

I bought this 2 weeks ago, and what fun I’ve already had with it. I like to shoot videos of driving my classic car & upload it to YouTube. In the past not having a way to display time & compass direction was a hold back. Not anymore. The ability to differentiate (what you term) compass from heading is nice. Also, even if you’re not in a moving vehicle, the app can be great for recording time stamp & the direction the camera is facing, even for fixed video recording on a tripod. For landscape, terrestrial/scenery, or storm chasing video; I’d imagine camera direction could prove useful as a data display. You’d be surprised how few apps offer “camera direction” as an info set for video. Many do it for still photos, but not video. And the interface is just simple enough in this app, that you can have as much or as little information as you want on the screen, in order to limit how much the info-sets distract from your video. GPS rendered items do spend data, but I believe turning everything off except time/date & compass, can get just those two pieces of info straight from the phone without using up data— just so people know (if that’s maybe all one cares about). I am glad you replaced the “O” on the compass roses with “E” for east. The “O” was strange nomenclature & a little misleading. My only other suggestions for improvement: 1) Can you offer the option of both magnetic or true for the “compass” instrument? (“Heading” I already know is true by default). 2) Can you maybe allow the colors to be changed individually for each instrument, rather than just one global color selection for all? (I know... kind of a nit-picky request, but if it’s possible and doesn’t take too much work, it would be nice... thanks.) 3) Maybe change the names of the instruments you labeled... A. “Compass” & B. “Heading” to ... A. “Heading” & B. “Course”. And I suggest this, because “Heading” is the direction the *CAMERA IS FACING*, and “Course” is the actual direction the *VEHICLE IS MOVING*. To say “compass” when you actually mean ‘heading’, is misleading, because the term “compass” is too broad & generic. Both instruments that have graphic-roses and measure direction are technically called “compasses”. But they serve different functions. And to say “heading” when you actually mean ‘course’, is also misleading & technically an inaccurate name; because again, “Heading” (or “azimuth”), refers to the direction the camera is actually facing (regardless of whether it’s in a moving vehicle or stationary on a tripod). Whereas “Course” (or “vector”), refers to the direction of travel of the vehicle that the camera is in— regardless of the exact direction the camera is actually facing, while inside the vehicle. I know, maybe a relatively minor point, but it was a little confusing for me, when I first downloaded the app, and was trying to select my instruments. Other than these minor points, excellent job with the app. I’d change very little else.
