## Description

Dashcam - Car Video Camcorder turns your iPhone or iPad into a reliable driving recorder. It continuously records in a loop and automatically saves footage when it detects sudden acceleration or braking, preserving crucial moments. Overlay telemetry data such as speed, location, heading, roll/pitch, and G-forces directly on the video, with movable, scalable instruments for a customizable heads-up display.

Configure loop length, incident save delay, and sensor sensitivity to fit your vehicle and driving style. The app supports MPEG-4 video, landscape/portrait recording, GPS/gyroscope telemetry, metric/imperial units, and optional audio recording, making it a versatile dash cam for everyday driving.

## Review summary

The Dashcam app delivers smooth performance and high-quality video, and works on iPhone and iPad, with real-time event recording capabilities. However, users repeatedly report major drawbacks: intrusive ads (often persisting after purchase), inability to run in the background or while using other apps, stability problems and crashes, and confusing UI with issues accessing saved footage or playback. These reliability and usability issues outweigh the positives for many reviewers, suggesting the app needs background support, improved playback, and a cleaner interface.

### Pros

- Smooth performance and high-quality video
- Works well on multiple devices (iPhone and iPad Pro)
- Records incidents/impact events (G-force timing)
- Versatile use cases beyond driving (e.g., recording while walking the dog)

### Cons

- Intrusive and persistent ads, not removed by upgrade
- Cannot run in background or while using other apps (no background recording)
- Stability issues and crashes on startup or during use
- Videos not easily accessible or playback missing (saved footage difficult to find, no playback)
- Outdated, confusing UI with cluttered controls and limited customization (HUD items cannot be rotated/edited)
