Speedometer Speed Box App Reviews

This app made me go Cavan Boda boom pow oopooooooooooooooooooooo bobs and vegana

It track total, maximum, average, current speed and elevation. Worth it!

Great way to know your downhill speed

I cannot review this more than just fun. When I first downloaded it I did it because I was told how Greyhound drivers always speed. I was taking the bus to visit family and wanted to know how true this fact was. Turns out the two drivers I had did not speed maybe with gps tracking companies can see your speed, or maybe it was just fear of speeding tickets. The other thing I used the app for was when riding home one night a friends dashboard’s light burned out, so my friend being in his 80’s did not have a smartphone. I pulled up the app and it worked great for getting us home. Would I recommend this app. Depends on what you need it for. It does track miles about as well as any other gps app would. It also does speed pretty close, so it is not a fantastic replacement for a dashboard it can be used as a short term fix. The best thing I can say about the app is the max speed warning. If you have a speeding problem and go with the flow of traffic you can set the max speed you want to go and it will yell if you go over. Only problem is the setting does not change if you go from American miles to metric so it yells at you.

I use it all the time to record my bike trips

I used the free version for years because it was so accurate, then all of a sudden several mo tha back something went wrong and the speed fluctuates all over the place. I just mistakenly paid $4 thinking I had by mistake erased it from my phone and it wouldn't charge me to redownload but no...I just paid $4 for the non free version of the same app that STILL doesn't work. I'll be driving set on cruise control and it will vary by more than 10 mph over a few minutes. USELESS! Oh, and by the way, there is NO support. It's a dead link.

Great app, has never let me down!

They are plenty of speedometer type apps in the App Store- the one and only reason I forked over 4 of my hard earned dollars for this one is the map view mode- the problem with it? It doesn’t follow you- you just drive right off the map! So either you can constantly move the map to wherever you are which is dumb (also, there’s also no map center button so good luck with that) or you can just zoom out to the point where you won’t drive off the map but you’re so far out you can’t see any of the streets which is kind of the point. Don’t bother using the contact developer button bc they are out drinking a mocha latte they bought with your $4 and won’t bother answering

I love the HUD option

This is a clean, straight-forward speedometer, and it functions, superbly. I have gotten 4 different speedometer app’s, and this is the only one I use, as it is simply superior. Buy this one, and be done. (The added compass, altitude, etc., are easy-to-use bonus features. Very good.)

I paid for it but had to uninstall it and reinstall it because it quit working. It made me pay for it again.

Perfect for what I need! Speed, audible warning when preset speed is exceeded, and mileage between fill ups. The cost is minimal for what you get.

GPS not very accurate and elevation is way off. Also, it would be nice if it showed on the main display elapsed time of the ride. Otherwise pretty decent.

This would be a 5 star app, but since it won’t work in background it renders it useless.

Great tool for maintaining an accurate speed. Nice to be able to email the data to support my professional driving career. Worth every penny!

I was looking for an app that alarmed when you are speeding over posted limit. It does not do this feature.

I recently had bought a used atv which was on a really high discount but the problem was that the speedometer was a piece of garbage. It didn’t work most of the time, it was very inaccurate when it did work, and it was very small so it wasn’t visible. So I was looking through the internet and saw this as the top rated on safari. I knew I couldn’t have it on my hands while driving so I bought the hook that grabs the phone, after that I was in awe, never had I been so happy that a speedometer on my phone actually worked.

Cannot turn off max and average speed displays

The pictures in this app are misleading. Be warned; you cannot have an active speedometer on your maps app with this app. All this app does is show where you are on a map and the speed you travel at without letting you navigate. Do not download this app. Waste of $4. Again, don’t use this app!

I have had this application for a long time. It's simple, it works, and it's never failed. I recommend it.

I got this and paid $3.99 for the promise that it could alert me when going over the speed limit, advertised as “warning signal when driving too fast.” I have plenty of other apps, like Waze or Google Maps, that can show me how fast I’m driving. But the feature I bought it for is essentially useless: you have to set a speed “limit” manually, and it will beep if you exceed that speed. But that doesn’t help at all when you’re traveling through towns where the speed limits change frequently. Based on the app description, I thought it would adjust the alert to the speed limit of my current location, but it does nothing of the sort. Bottom line, this is $4 for features I can get for free elsewhere. Buyer beware.

A must have for anyone with a broken gauge cluster or the average street racer!

I'm an "old car" enthusiast. The old cable driven analog speedometers are rarely accurate, so I rely on Speedbox to calibrate my speed. I've tested it against my 2016 Lincoln and it's pin-point accurate. It's also great to use as a back seat driver trying to figure out what speed your 16 year old grandson is driving when I can't see the speedometer. Great app.

This app is been very helpful, especially while racing.

Great heads up display, great GPS response. Great value.

I downloaded this app to use when I was ridding my Ruckus. The speed is very accurate, has an easy to use interface, and was everything I needed it to be. Would recommend to everyone.

This is an awesome app for what I use it for ... Running, cycling, and driving a vehicle with oversized tires! Running ... Gives me my distance, top speed, and average speed! An awesome thing to have on my phone when someone says they run faster than me, or they doubt what I can actually put out. Same thing for running goes for biking too, except this time I use the altitude portion a lot more! I ride my bicycle in the mountains a lot. I drive a truck, and recently I put oversized off-road tires onto it. My speedometer ended up more than 5 mph different at interstate highway speeds, which could have easily ended me up with some ticket problems. Also, my gas mileage seemed to decrease slightly, but when I tested the truck odometer against the distance on this GPS app, I discovered that instead of my gas mileage dropping a lot, I saw a very slight improvement! That was a big relief! Thank you for the work you've put into this app. - Would I change anything? - The only thing I wish I could add to it is an option for users to enter and edit "speed limits" on the stretches of road they're traveling! That way, you could store the speed limits by location either on the app itself, or on a server that the app can connect to when the user is in those areas.

great app, very accurate, wish I could set speed alerts for more than one speed

Putting big tires on a massive 4x4 make the speedometer highly inaccurate. This keeps me out of trouble in small one cop towns or anywhere else

I love it. I recently changed the gears in the rear end of my pickup truck needles to say it my speedo was off but speed box was right on ... Best 3.00$ I have spent on an app. Thanks

In the UK the limit is 70mph, and in Ohio its 65mph, so setting the top speed to either 60 or 120 isn't much use. It would be much better if it went up in 10mph increments rather than a whopping 60mph increments.

I have been using free version for months and i liked it very much Today after i bought the paid version i felt shocked 😱😱 Maps is not available in paid version Free version update is higher than paid version I was very excited to buy full version but now i am disappointed You deserve 5 stars only when you update I feel sorry because i paid for it Free version is much better

Accurate as well, use it in my coupe all the time for fun and also to make sure my accurate speed. Can't wait for new features, because this app looks lovely on the 5s :)

It's accurate and easy to use. Great app guys!

I have garmin oem popup built-in. So I use my iPhone as a giant speedometer and its way easier on my tired old eyes than my tiny onboard speedometer. Several Colors to pick from I like the big orange numerals. The cheddar right under my Escort 9500i

I had just bout this old car that had been sitting in one place for more then enough days then should be and had quite some time getting it up to drivable order and the only 1 of few minor problems ended up being my speedometer was 15 mph over and also will bounce back and fourth 5 mph bouts was. So what I'm getting at is knowing I had access to this ability on my iou device I was left having to use it in order to travel. This ended up leading to the realization that this up was definitely 100 percent worth paying the pocket Chang to be able to have the ability to use my phone as a tool in witch helps me have a better look and more information then the old basic speedometers wile I drive. [[[I STRONGLY SUGGEST TRYING THIS APP TO ANYBODY WITH TRANSPORTATION]]]

This app is a great tool to have when your speedometer stops working especially when the speeds you must travel range from 25 to 70 and the trip takes over an hour - gave me REAL peace of mind and no concerns of getting s speeding ticket. I agree that "speeding" alert could be better and adapt to where you are but I set mine to 65 and it beeped and flashed and worked as expected and given speed traps in 25mph towns I try not to go much beyond the posted value - I was satisfied and felt 3.99 was well worth avoiding a ticket. Thanks!!!

I really enjoy using this app. It works all over the world for knowing how fast ones train is traveling to the ferry when out in the middle of nowhere between countries. It is also very useful in being able to guess one's arrival time based on current and previous travel speed. This is especially true if your hydrofoil can maintain top speed due to rough seas. :) I got this app when I first had access to gps in my iPhone and still use it with my iPhone 6.

I don't use it often, but when I do, it works flawlessly. I love the option of using your phone as a HUD by reflecting the screen onto the windshield.

For some reason this app will not connect to the gps.

A few quibbles, but basically VERY GOOD to SUPERB. More granularity in the max speed setting, better display of the speed in digital mode on my iPad (digits should be larger or closer together), and really minor stuff. The HUD mode is a godsend.

Updating an old review - thank you for removing the review nag! Signal acquisition seems instant now on an iPhone 6. Wow. Compass and speed work wonderfully. A larger odometer with easier reset, and trip/lap function would be ideal additional features.

JUST AWESOME !!!!

Informative and dependable. One of my favorite apps.

Easy decision to pop for the extra buck over the free version. Removes ads, adds features and logging. Take my money.

Great app. Confirmed that the GPS speedometer is accurate, and with the improvement of cellphone GPSs there is practically no delay. I love using the HUD feature at nite on the way home from work. This app is a necessity for me at work as half the vehicles in the fleet don't have working speedometers. I have used it for years now and will continue to use it. Love it.

Has worked great for me since day one!

Speed Box is a great app for walking,riding my bike and checking the accuracy of my motorcycle speedo. Very useful tool.

Everything works great in this app while it's open, but would be awesome to have a version that could keep recording distance and speed history while in other apps or when locked.

As long as you aren’t under a canopy of trees or in a tunnel, so it CAN work. 😈

Great app. Use it all the time. I have an older cop-magnet Porsche and set the speed alert which has saved me a couple of tickets. Also use on our boat since speedos rarely work on outboards.

Handy, I use it a lot.

Best speed recorder

This app works great. The speedometer in my truck is way off the mark, so I use this app. This app is kept me out of trouble for a long time. I love it.

Been using this app since the beginning. Simple, great settings that work.. visible and accurate. Thank you for designing and making a perfect app😎

Very useful app, especially while riding Amtrak and Metrolink.

Cool App. It really works, my bike is off 5 mph.
