Augmented Driving App Reviews

I downloaded this app when it first came out. It was frustrating to get perfectly calibrated. I still have trouble with the vehicle detection at times, but for this geek/gearhead/car freak Augmented Driving was still a favorite app just based on looks. One day I was in Nashville, TN on business. Just as I was all ready for bed I got a call from home. Long story short... I had to jump in the car and drive home exhausted. The drive from Nashville to Atlanta is a beautiful one through the mountains. Augmented Driving's lane detection woke me up behind the wheel no less than 3 times. When I got home with tears in my eyes i told my friends and family "my iPhone saved my life." Thank you.

The speed limit doesn't update anymore and the app needs is some quality and efficiency updates. Hopefully the camera can be more clear and have a higher FPS. The app causes the device to become very warm due to it's high CPU usage. It would also be nice for the app to export screenshots and videos to the Camera Roll or provide a way to access them in-app.

Orientation is a big thing, way my windshield is, no way to keep mount out of picture. Gets excessively HOT. Takes forever to reset when change position.

Does not work. Will not calibrate.

I was skeptical in purchasing this App at first but after I downloaded it and tried it, it worked exactly as advertised. I have it running on my iPad2 and the graphics look great as well as great software performance. It's great programming and have not run into any problems with it. It works both at night and during the day. I prefer it at night because it looks great and is truly a good driving assistant.

道路行驶警示。即有实用性，又🈶科技感。

Even though I've had this app since version 1, it still doesn't get old to use or show off... It's way better than the other options out there too. Sometimes you need a little patience with calibration but once you get it, this app is gold.

After reading all the previous reviews I decided to give this app a try. It definitely delivers a lot of what it promises but also frustrates me at times. Pros: Detects lanes, cars, calculates distance and delay of the car in front of you. Warns you if you are leaving lane or too close to the car in front of you. Cons: Detects car only when it's like 20 yard in front of you. It is not helpful at highway speeds. Detects car only after 5 seconds it enters your view. This is a disappointment since the demo vid showed instant recognition. Looses lane detection immediately Only displays speed in km/h which is worthless in the U.S. Makes this engine rev sound when start followed by "system initialized" it gets annoying. Most importantly, THE APP CRASHES EVERY FIVE MINUTES!! Which led back to rev sound and the voice startup sound. Dear dev, please fix this!

Not able to calibrate no matter where I mount

I trailer a lot through the midwest and this is a fantastic way to ensure I don't forget my caution. The slightest move out of my lane and I get an instant alert. Great display of what's to come

I am from Brazil and it worked here !!! The app is fantastic, beautiful and a great inovation. The bad is that it could do more things like change the speedlimit doing ocr in speed sign, log more info about trip, faster calibration and a lot of other improvements. I will give a 5 stars because the inovation but will change to 1 if do not get updates soon. I already know that it would be uselees before buy but i considered buy it to help developer make interesting updades faster !!! Thanks for this amazing app, people buy this to help it be better !!!

Even you set your phone at the right position and orientation, this app still can't detect the car in front of you immediately and many times, it just didn't detect it even if the car is already close to you. That means you are highly likely not to get front collision warning. So it is not reliable at all.

Sat for 5 min didn't detect cars or lanes on a busy interstate. Apparently thinks I'm speeding... 63 on a 65. Weird. And the voice. I couldn't find a way to shut the pig up. I want to listen to music. Never again in my life.

This is impressive. It's almost there, and I'm certain will get better. Very cool and useful for late night driving to keep you in check.

3 stars for uniqueness. However... The startup is annoying. Do not need engine noises (we are already trying this on a car with an engine, remember?) Option to turn off the disclaimer. Needs to play nice with iPod without switching it off completely. Pain to setup. I have to use tape measures to get this app working? Too much work for too little result. My best efforts without a tape measure did not get this working. Interface is horrible. Not intuitive at all. Just an overall pain to go through this app. Hope the author doesn't take ages to fix some of these problems (again)

Simple problem, please fix.. My phone mount blocks the front camera using your default orientation.. Please allow 180 degree screen flip. Thanks!!

- camera isn't steady streaming: Latency by several seconds - sounds get annoying. Had to mute it. - crashes upon returning so I have to end it and restart. - could use navigation to make it useful

Very cool app, have enjoyed it for years, but still needs more.. It accuses me of speeding when I do more than 33mph in a 55 zone, and I can't find an option to tell it the actual speed limit. Also I like how it takes pictures, but 66 pictures in 10 minutes is too much. I think there should be many more options.. Also a tab to show people where to swipe to get to the options screen, take lessons from other apps out there. All in all I like it, but still not living up to its full potential.

I think the app is great. The developers are pretty forthcoming about the fact that it is a work in progress. That said, it does what it claims to do, and I think it is pretty dang cool. I am 37, and if you had told me fifteen years ago that I would have a phone capable of doing this while I drive down the road I wouldn't have believed you.

Wont even open app, crashes :(

Just black screen at start. Hasn't worked for a long time.... do NOT purchase.

Crash on start

Please update! Excellent concept/potential

iPod Touch not compatible :(

Needs your phone to be securely mounted to windshield, I bought a mount by Rocketfish. It senses the road and cars and lanes flawlessly! Good for long drives it will alert if cars too close or when changing lanes! Very cool app but like I said really needs secure mount where front camera lens can see the road. I love it!!

Although not perfect, once I got things calibrated it found the road very well. Object detection doesn't work but overall I love how the lane departure works.

Crashes. Can't even try it.

The dev pushed an update for a iOS6 bug, but not the iPhone5 screen? I'm confused.

THANKS GUYS! I was hoping you weren’t going to just let this app die. I can’t wait to get the mount back on my windshield and start AR DRIVING again!! Whoohoo!!

Used to be great. They finally released an update that worked on iOS 11. Unfortunately it crashes and shuts down about every 10 minutes

The program causes my iphone 5 to overheat after a few minutes of use, causing the device to go into a degraded lower clock speed mode. Even before that, however, the performance is not very good. Warnings are too often false-positive's, with the program becoming an annoying and useless clang of bells and beeps. This is a useless gimmick, not a useful program like some of the other HUDS out there

Does what it says with surprisingly good accuracy provided it is in a stable mount.

Please, with next app update add date y:m:d and live time h:m:s in the top or bottom of the screen please. Would be a professional record in case of the car accident.

Not worth $3, not that functional not much benefit.

I would have been better off spending that $3 on augmenting my life with a beer. Turns off your music, annoying sounds, annoying interface, finicky setup. Not worth it.

Hey!! Please! Make unis in SI sistem! I am missing kilometers per hour! Maybe i can use in my country! Fix it please!

Not worth $3. Works, just not practical.

Please let the owners of the ipad2 wifi only download augmented driving!! We can tether it to the gps signal in the iPhone and it works great with apps like "a smart HUD HD" and especially MotionX GPS HD for the iPad. I just it. I see no reason why YOUR program wont, at least not let us ipad2 wifi only users download it even. Please fix this so all of the many more wifi only ipad2's out can tether and see your beautiful program on the big screen. It will probably generate a lot more sales!! Charlie

Good: The app does what it is suppose to do. Tracks lanes, tracks lane departure, tracks speed (and preset speeding option), tracks cars and distance in front of you (for the most part). Bad: Interface really clunky, hard to really use without presetting it up and getting all the options done before ever getting in the car, and several trips to really get the setting how you prefer it. Very unintuitive gestures to do certain things, and very hard to understand labeling and features. What you get is really a very interesting program and you get something that bigger more luxury high-end cars get for a fraction of the price. The down side is that it doesn't all always work, it's clunky and very unintuitive. I really think its an over all brilliant idea, That it can detect your lane (although it may take some time), and then tell/warn you when you are about to depart from it, can tell you that the car in front of you is X amount of distance away (although not always super accurate, but gives you a decent estimate), and that it will even notify you if the car in stop and go traffic in front of you is pulling away. Doesn't always work well at night, won't work on dark highways, but in the city where there are good lighted streets will still pick up the lanes on occasion, but the vehicle tracking, and the app dealing with the camera autofocus (should set focus fixed in the middle) probably causes some problems with the apps abilities. Now that interface, you get these series of "panel" like option pages, that gets you to set it up, you can estimate the cars height and width, obviously the more accurate you are the more accurate the program will track for you. Then you get these series of gestures, swiping down to get to the voice/noise/color page where you can customize how you are warned when you get to a certain things, if you make the wrong gesture, there is a brief flash in the screen of gestures that you can perform. Here is where you wish you can just have the normal iPhone app setup of actual menus and buttons rather than this strange setup. Then there is exiting the option menu by double tapping… really makes it a hard thing to get to certain things… I guess the whole menu was designed supposedly around so you can do everything in the app while driving without really needing to focus in on touching buttons. I found out to change your "speeding" warning sign is to slide your finger in the middle of the screen while it is viewing the street (now i know it would have to have a database to get the actual speed limit of the road you are driving on, but that could be a cool feature). In this new version the author added the feature to record video while you drive, the actual record button now records video, before you could double tap the screen and it would take a screenshot. It looks pretty could playing it back on your computer with the hud displaying everything, the lane tracking, the vehicle tracking, the warnings and stuff, but the only way to get to the videos is hooking it up to iTunes and downloading them from the apps section, and then there is no real way to delete the videos besides deleting the whole app… talk about cumbersome. The video quality isn't the best either, not 1080p, definitely smaller, but that's probably because they would be massive if you went on a longer drive. All in all, this program delivers on what it promises, lane assist/departure, with vehicle tracking, but because of its clumsy interface and lackluster polish really makes it much less friendly to use. It is a fun toy, that's all it is, and if the developer works on the interface, I think it could be something very fun to use as an everyday driving tool. This app is definitely unique enough for a try, but be warned, it's probably not going to the the most useful app you've come across.

no include a blackbox...so i use just blackbox App... this app is not useful..

Although there is no real use for this, it's a great peek at the future of AR apps. Not sure if it's worth 2$.

App runs and seems to work for about 30-40 seconds then just shuts down. While it's briefly working, it identifies the lane of travel I'm in, spots and tracks other vehicles and even warned me about a lane departure. If the dev could fix the shutdown issue one could actually use this app. iPhone 8 iOS 11.2.2

I drive a work truck this app has a hard time finding the road. It does a great job at recording. What exactly is the Zoom for? I can't make anything out.

I don't mind paying for this app to support development of this technology, but this app needs a lot of work. Menu navigation is unnecessarily difficult, since there are no buttons. Rather, you have to double-tap, swipe, etc. Object detection only works (poorly) when the app has a lock on a lane. I don't understand why object detection isn't independent of lane detection. It would be nice if the app tracked all vehicles in front of me. Lane detection is very flaky, it loses track of the lane when going around the slightest bend. Overall, not incredibly useful.

Just needs to calibrate faster. It would be awesome if someday tom-tom the GPS company bought you out so then you could have GPS information overlaid also even better would be to have I COBRA support for radar detector as well as the GPS. Could you imagine both being incorporated?

This is the most innovative and useful App I've seen in the App Store in a very long time!

This is one of the coolest apps on my phone. It is using a live video feed and performing lane and vehicle detection on the fly!

This is an excellent app. Works as described and built. It has improved my driving tremendously with distance and awareness. It is well worth the price and works very consistantly, once you get the calibration down. The tutorials are excellent and a must.

Did u have enough power
