## Description

SpeedBox transforms your iPhone into a GPS speedometer with 17 stunning designs, from classic analog dials and retro LED displays to a vintage System 7 look and a car-inspired instrument cluster. It supports portrait and landscape modes and adds features like an Apple Watch app, a Head Up Display (HUD) mirror mode, a live speed graph with altitude, a compass, a speed warning with a custom threshold, spoken speed, and CSV export of trip data.

There is a free version, with a Premium Pack unlocking the full experience. SpeedBox uses GPS only while the app is open and does not track location in the background, prioritizing privacy and safe driving.

## Review summary

Users praise Speedometer Speed Box App for its simple, uncluttered interface and for serving as a handy backup speedometer, especially when car speedometers fail or for quick GPS checks. It supports km/h and CarPlay for easy viewing. However, GPS inaccuracies and inconsistent readings, along with ads and a subscription-based ad-free option, are common complaints. Overall, the app is valued for quick speed checks, but reliability varies across users and scenarios.

### Pros

- Simple, uncluttered interface that's quick to read at a glance.
- Useful backup speedometer/verification tool when a vehicle’s speedometer isn’t working.
- Supports metric units (km/h) and works in Canada.
- CarPlay integration via iOS shortcuts, keeping speed visible in the driver’s peripheral view.
- Long-term usefulness and consistency reported by many users.

### Cons

- GPS accuracy is frequently unreliable and readings can be off by large margins or not displayed.
- Ad-supported model with a separate paid subscription for an ad-free experience; some users question the value.
- Inconsistent performance across different vehicles and situations; reports of occasional failures or inaccurate readings.
