Doesn't work
This App just does not work whatsoever
Sexual ads
Sexual ads in my speedometer app. Weird
Great app hate that the rating comes up over the app. What I’m trying to drive.
This app works really well, but it has come up with the rating over the app while driving multiple times in one day. I gave it a one star because is Ing and kind of a safety hazard.
1 star ⭐️
Stupid app apparently it was not working for some reason I just said couldn’t find gps signal trash make this stupid app work
Trash app
I’m in high speed train trying to measure the speed. App shows 0 and weak GPS. What a trash… developers should be embarrassed by this.
NOT Free app
Claims to be free and after you download in two days, it begins charging you per day
Shuts off consistently
App closes and resets all other open apps anytime I use it.
Horrible app
I try to get a refund since I made a
mistake thinking I was just signing up for account without money involved. They refuse to answer apple back and provide a refund. Now I’m stuck with an app I won’t use for a year.

Never subscribed
This is a new app on my phone and I believe 19.95 or about has been charged to my phone for it I did not want or agree to pay for this app
Awful
Nag screen after nag screen.
Poor
Unable to contact support. Did not know it was going to charge $20. Would like a refund but have no way to contact anyone. Very disappointed, frustrated and unhappy
Bait and switch
Does not work
Short Trial
Don’t make the same mistake I did. Downloaded this app to try it once. Forgot to cancel it and got charged $20 the day before it expires.
The worst speed test game in the world
Every time I try to test my speed it’s not working
Have to pay to see speed?
Won’t work unless you pay for it? Come on.
D
Every time it said weak gps I would be walking and it would say 8 mph
Meh
It will randomly stop by itself and stop recording
Speedometer is not accurate
Unfortunately, the speedometer is consistently off by about 10 mph, which makes the data unreliable. Accurate speed tracking is one of the main reasons I downloaded the app, so I’ll be uninstalling it and looking for a better alternative.
