I selected this because the writeup said it had a loop recording--none of the other dash cam apps I was looking at said this outright. This means that you record a continuous 3, 5 or 10 minute segment, with the earliest parts of each segment always being overwritten to save memory. I set it for 3 minutes. However, on several tries, the whole app stopped at 3 minutes, and returned me to my iPhone 6 (Im on iOS 8.0.2) home screen. Essentially, it crashed. Moreover,when I checked the list of recordings, there was nothing on the list screen, even though it said that some memory had been used for the recording. Theres also a camera button on the screen when the app is active, to allow you to take photographs of the moment. However, after my test, after I had taken two or three photographs, they were not in my camera roll. I had had high hopes for the app. It doesnt have too many bells and whistles, which is what I wanted. Theres a temperature readout, collision notification, and a map inset (in my test, this wasnt giving a clear readout). Im willing to give the developer the benefit of the doubt, and I hope that the next upgrade will bring everything up to snuff. In the meantime, this app is not ready for prime time.
The best dash cam app I have ever used.
