## Description

Track Recorder (Torque OBD/Car) is a powerful plugin for the Torque Pro Android app that lets you overlay your vehicle's OBD2 sensor data onto videos you record. It displays real-time data such as speed, turbo boost, RPM, GPS location, and accelerometer readings directly over your driving videos. The app supports hi-def and low-def video recording and offers a semi-transparent Google Maps overlay for tracking your position alongside the footage.

Users can connect up to three cameras simultaneously, including USB cameras and both front and rear smartphone cameras if supported. Even without an OBD2 module, Track Recorder still records GPS and accelerometer sensor data from your device. Customize your recording dashboard by arranging gauges via press-and-hold gestures. Export your videos easily to YouTube or Google Drive. Besides enhancing driving analysis and skill improvement on track days, this tool also doubles as a blackbox recorder useful for daily drives or contesting speeding tickets. Requires the full version of Torque Pro to function and encourages user feedback for ongoing feature enhancements.

## Review summary

Users praise the OBD data overlay and dual-camera dash cam features, and view it as a useful Torque plugin on some devices. However, the app appears poorly maintained and inconsistent on newer Android versions. Export/share often fails, videos end up in internal/inaccessible storage, and changing storage location is unreliable. Compatibility issues span multiple devices and Android versions, leading to alternating experiences—some work on older setups, many reports of failures on newer devices. Without maintenance and better storage/export options, its value is limited to a subset of users.

### Pros

- OBD data overlay on recorded drives
- Dash cam functionality with front and rear cameras
- Useful plugin within the Torque ecosystem
- Works on some devices/Android versions (partial compatibility)

### Cons

- Abandoned/not actively maintained; not working well on latest Android versions
- Video export/share features frequently non-functional; often only viewable in-app
- Videos saved to internal storage or inaccessible locations; hard to access or upload
- Storage location selection not reliable or effective (SD card usage not supported)
- Device compatibility varies widely; many devices/Android versions experience recording or camera access issues
