Speedr+ App Reviews

This app far exceeded my expectations. I have no idea why it has no reviews. Beautiful, simple, intuitive interface that keeps me aware of my speed at all times. Purchased it because of all the photo radar in my city. Also included a HUD, compass and outside temperature gauge as well, making for an unexpected bonus. Highly recommended. A great deal at 0.99 cents.

This app promises things that it can not deliver. It uses the old "bait and switch" trick. When you try to get help from the company, they spin you around in a maze of web links. Im glad they only got me for two dollars. They will get no more.

Beware! This product does not work, if you are looking for its intended purpose of displaying the current speed limit. There are several free apps that work better.

It doesnt tell the speed limit on any road -- not even the Ohio Turnpike.

Can not get it to show speed limits. Waste of money and time.

Oh heavenly Karma g-ds please let everyone know this app is a fraud. And take this apps founder to poverty.

Doesnt work. On a major freeway and they cant find my location. Nice.

This app promises to be the one app that will automatically find the speed limit of your current location. I dont need an app to tell me how fast I am going. My car does that. It always says speed limit unavailable. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY!!

All things considered, this App works great! I use it where I live in The Metro Detroit area of Michigan U.S.A. This is the only app that will give you automatic speed warnings that I have found in the app store. With this app, there is no need to set a pre set speed warning. It will alert you automatically if you travel faster than the posted speed limit! However, it does have limitations. 1: You need to have a good Internet speed on your phone. I have unlimited high speed Internet on my iPhone 4s with AT&T. This internet speed and service plan is not available in all areas. 2: this app needs a VERY GOOD and stable Internet connection at all times in order to work as you would want it to. 3: The app does not work on most side streets. I only have success on main roads and expressways. 4: It has a few (3 to 6) second lag time when giving you a speed warning to inform you that you have exceeded the speed limit, however, sometimes it is an instant warning. Once again, the apps reliability is limited to your phones Internet speed and service plan, and provider coverage. If your Internet does not work in any given area, neither will this app. Because this is the only app that gives you automatic warnings, I give it a solid 4 out of 5 star rating.

Got the app and thirty minutes into it you wanted more money for safety credits. That is like bait and switch. I want my dollar back.

This app, yes,offered what I was looking for. To help me determine posted speed limits for highways. But after already spending the .99 to download it and after about half hour use it was telling me that I was out of "safety credits" and to continue what I downloaded it for that I needed to give more money. No thank you!

The App narrative doesnt say anything about this costing continuous streams of money to keep using it. We downloaded it to check speed limits on unfamiliar roads and barely into our trip it was prompting us to buy "safety credits" without which it prevented any activity. The 1-star rating is for the functionality -- though its just a tease. I agree with previous reviewers that this is a bait and switch and I want my money back!

The feature where I can ask my son to send me his driving history every week and it shows when he was speeding is fantastic! Weve already seen improvements in his driving. At first buying credits to get the speed limits was annoying, but since he drives pretty much the same roads every day, the price dropped to nothing very quickly. Well worth it. And the heads up display is really futuristic.

I bought the app knowing about the complaints of others about the safety credits. I don’t know if the need to periodically purchase the credits was made clear on this site before those complaining purchased the app. I have not been able to obtain sufficient info about these credits despite having send an email to the apps developer, etc. But, note that I did not send the email long ago. Upon first use of the app I was told, in effect, that I had been “gifted” an undisclosed amount of safety credits. Using the app, I have been unable to determine the number of credits I received, and I have been unable to determine anything like, for example, the number of credits used during this morning’s app test. While expected, I am disappointed about the way the developer, etc., has chosen to provide information about safety credits. Indeed, I cannot even figure out what causes a credit to be used. For example, does use occur when a speed limit is updated, after so many minutes of use, or when an over-limit (or limit plus buffer) alarm is sounded? I think, given my purpose, the app performed well, though not perfectly. Perfection is too much to ask given the difficult job it is trying to do for me. My need/want is for the app to keep me continuously updated on posted speed limits and to tell me immediately when I have exceeded such a speed limit or such a limit plus a buffer, or grace, amount. I tested the app for about an hour this morning on roads where the speed limits change frequently (and where some have changed in the last month or so). It did a good job of identifying the speed limit changes. It occasionally missed a change was a bit slow to pick up a change, including missing a change in a construction zone (which I did not expect it to pick up). But, overall, I was satisfied with its ability to identify changing speed limits. The app also did a pretty decent job of telling me when I exceeded my speed limit plus buffer. I set the app so that it would give me an “over” alert if I went speed limit plus 5 mph (e.g., 50 mph + 5 mpg, or 55 mpg, if the posted speed limit was 50 mph). Call an over alert “dee dah.” In this regard, the app sometimes gave more than one dee dah alert—which I did not want, but no big deal. I found that the app also gives a “safety” alert when the driver slows to the speed limit (or possibly just below the speed limit)—a “dah dee” alert. Apparently, this feature cannot be turned off. I did not want it, but, again, no big deal. My only somewhat significant issue with the dee dah (over) alerts is that they are a bit too delayed for my ultimate comfort.

I was really disappointed. After only an hour of using this app I had to pay a lot for "safety credits" to keep using the app.

You have to enter current speed limit which fluctuates all the time. Basically worthless.

The numerous crashes render this app worthless. Great idea, but it doesnt work.

Horrible.

Tried multiple times on multiple roads and never got a speed limit, even on I-95. Dont waste your money on this app.

App seems to work at least much of the time but keeps asking for you to purchase additional "credits". There is no indication of how many credits you have or how they are used--only that you quickly need to buy more.
