Driver - AI Cloud Dash Cam Reviews

Ok first off I have an iPhone 11 ProMax. I am not experiencing any of the issues some users are saying about low volumes while listening to music with Driver running nor any phone overheating issues at all. I’m usually using Apple Car Play and can listen to my music and have Apple Maps running and have no heat issues or volume or sound quality issues while Driver is running. That’s a plus. My issue is with the recording video size in one giant recording instead of smaller loops. This eats a large amount of storage space on my phone and I have not found a way to delete unwanted recordings except wait a week for each one to drop off via the settings. That won’t cut it with me so now I pick and choose when I really want it to record in order to save space. I received no response as of yet when I emailed 1-2 weeks ago asking if there was a way to delete recordings. I may end up just purchasing a stand alone dashcam. I give them an A for effort though. If I see some improvements I’ll change my rating.

Hey I’ve just started to use Driver and see the people commenting about a few things that I feel like could be fixed. I believe that if you guys include a tutorial for Driver showing the users how to prevent over heating and where to go to find the videos, over all explanation on how Driver works would be really useful! I wouldn’t force users to have to watch the tutorial, like a lot of apps it pops up and you can either watch it or skip it.

I had just started driving and when I looked into the library it only had a few seconds of video recorded but the whole trip was there, I’m assuming since nothing happened it was deleted? Again something that could be explained if you gave a tutorial with it app.

How to help prevent the phone from over heating? I would include a service to connect Driver to the car via Bluetooth so it can do more then just record, and the sensors are aligned with how the car is actually being operated.

I also wouldn’t mind knowing where the best place to set the phone in the car you are using, ie it scans your windshield and shows you through Driver where the phone would work best. Just some ideas! I’m enjoying it so far!!!

I use this as my daily everyday dash cam, literally don’t go anywhere without turning this bad boy on. I’ve had a few minor issues with overheating however I was able to get in contact with support and they sent me a case (free of charge)to combat the overheating issues, And it’s HELPED ALOT, th developer is very passionate about helping everyone has a wonderful experience so I recommend definitely reaching out before writing a bad review! They will do all they can to help combat Driver issues and everything else!! I only have great things to say about Driver!

Driver is straightforward and simplistic.

There is an audio bug which others have expressed when using car pay. The issue is when using CarPlay with Driver the vehicle switches from “audio” output type to “voice” output type. Think phone call.

Your car play unit will funnel audio out of one or two front speakers leading to low volume and tinny music and podcasts.

I have been able to work around the issue by starting the this app app first, starting the recording, leaving Driver and start music or podcasts then going back to Driver and restarting video. This works 85% of the time but is finicky and doesn’t always work first shot.

The HUGE missing feature is the ability to record video using the wide angle lens. Dash cams have a larger FOV to capture vehicles at intersections. Only being able to use the main lens is problematic because it cuts out huge areas that would accurately show an incident.

This to me is an obvious flaw and one I’m hoping the developers will fix. Not sure if the developers can fix the audio issue though as it seems like it could be a problem with vehicle manufacture head units deciphering what is being connected. This is why it may not happen to some people.

I looked at every dash cam app in the Apple store. This one by far exceeds all others. The interface and recording screen is easy to use and understand. The dual camera recording is awesome. You can stop and start recording at will. I also love that fact you can share the videos and upload them to my OneDrive Storage.
However, Driver is missing some key features I would love to see in the near future and the only reason they missed that elusive 5 star rating.
Here they Are...

1. Date Time Location on recorded on Video
2. Location on Map tracking while playing back in app.
3. A PC app to playback and see all
4. Touch screen picture capture

Modified: I decided to give them a 5 star and hope these features and many more show up in a future version.

Keep up the Great Work !
Can’t wait to see how much I can save on insurance.

I think Driver is one of the best apps on my phone. I also think it is one of my most important apps because I know that I will have peace of mind knowing that my phone will protect me in case I get rear ended from a tailgater or have to slam on my brakes for a deer. Or if I don’t have my seat belt on, which I always do. Also, if I was driving the speed limit or not. All of this for FREE. Driver has my back. Love it!!

I had the issue that my phone and my father’s get too hot while using Driver and it consumed the battery. Customer support reached out to us and address the following:
-This is an ongoing issue they are trying to fix.
In the meantime, they suggested we used just the dashcam and navigation only, and disable the other options. It worked, the phones don’t get too hot.
-They provided me a cooling phone case to reduce overheating, which it worked. I used Driver during a 2 + hours trip (dashcam and navigation) and it worked perfectly.
-Navigation works fine for a road trip, but it will be up to each person to use it or not. My suggestion is to add stops for gas stations as Waze has it, for a road trip at least.
-If you use it for your normal commute in the city Driver works fine.
I was about to buy a dashcam, but I would rather use Driver instead.

I would very much like to see a feature where the dash cam continues recording when I switch apps. My preference for navigation is Apple Maps because it sinks with my apple watch to give me more accurate turn by turn directions. So I would like to be able to have my Apple Maps open and the dash cam still recording at the same time. In short I would like the option to manually turn off the dash cam when I wanted to stop recording. Other than that I think your app is great.

1. Let me configure the default navigation app in the settings, so when I click the navigation icon it automatically opens Waze rather than showing me a list of installed and downloadable navigation apps.

2. When I click on the navigation icon, shrink the the video screen into the corner of Waze so that I can see the map. Also keep recording while doing so. This would be the ideal use of Driver . I don’t want or need to see what my camera is recording while driving. I just want confirmation that recording is on while using Waze.

3. The toggle options in settings are hard to distinguish. Change from shades of gray to other colors so that it’s easier to see what settings are configured for saving videos, etc…

If the above could be implemented then this would be a five star app. Essentially I want Waze and dashcam app to work at the same time.

I’ve been using Driver for a couple weeks now, and had a bit of a shock. It has used over 1gb of mobile data over about 20 trips! I share a single 4gb plan with my wife and son, and for one app to have sucked up 25% off that was alarming. Thankfully, Driver seems to operate fine even after I revoked its access to cellular data.

Data aside, this fills the gap nicely of needing a dashcam, while hunting for a hardware one with exactly the features I want.

...until last week when I would turn my music on my phone and then turn the recording on Driver and the music starts playing very faintly through the phone and not the Bluetooth receiver. Disappointed because I didn’t have this problem until recently and I’ve been using Driver for months. I was hoping there would be an app update but there currently isn’t one. This keeps happening I’m going to have to find another way to record my drives

Used to work great. Now it’s asking me to allow motion access. What’s that? Click the link and it sends to to Driver ’s settings, which are all on. Makes no sense. Time to look for another app.

UPDATE: Turns out that iOS changed how to allow motion access, as in where that switch was located. Thanks to this app’s excellent customer service, we sorted my problem (and others’) together. Back to 5 stars for me!

Thanks this app Developers! I’ve never really given any app 5 stars or written a review unless it’s horrendous to heed consumers or freakin’ awesome to support Driver /developers for an excellent job.
Driver is freakin’ awesome. To the developers , I appreciate it so much. Driver saves me money from buying expensive roadcams. Once again Driver is great for the people who have smart phones. Please keep it excellent. 5stars and thank you !

It does record, but sometimes my phone will turn off for no reason while Driver is on, and sometimes I can’t reopen Driver , it just sits stuck in the load mode. Plus if you delete Driver , you lose your this app history, even if you created an account. And it takes forever for your video to load anyways. Just a mediocre dash cam app, will begin using another app for sure now. I never make reviews, but Driver frustrated me enough for me to create a review.

UPDATE: There are 3 constants in life: Death, Taxes, and this app app stuck in the Green loading screen

So, I have one issue, I can’t find any way to delete a trip. Apparently on testing and without be knowing it started recording a trip (while I was walking). Another two issues (have to keep phone on (kind of makes sense) and you have to keep Driver open (really doesn’t make sense)). If both of those issues could somehow be fixed and worked with apple on that would be great.

I use Driver for my everyday driving, but ever so often I will click on Driver to open it and it won’t load, it will go off and go back to my Home Screen than I have to delete Driver than go to Driver Store and download Driver again, and when I do that it erases all the videos of the trips that I have made and all of the points I have accumulated so I have to start all over, but I love having the security of Driver while I’m driving

For my work I have to move between hemodialysis clinics and I always use Driver , I love it! I just wish I could delete the videos and not have to wait for the memory to be full or a week, which is the minimum you have to wait for it to be automatically deleted, if you guys fix that, it’s the perfect app!!! Thank you so much!!!!!

I’ll have to say, so far, my experience with using Driver hasn’t been great. However, the developers have proven so far to be interested in improving!

We addressed most of my previous concerns. Apple has placed multiple restrictions on how Driver functions in the background... which explains why it crashes when other apps are active.

Not yet up to 5 stars, but I’m excited to see how things will improve and if I can aid in the process. 5 stars in the works!

I want to love Driver and the idea of using a single device for everything. But navigation is nearly invisible and sometimes I prefer navigation up front so I can see turns coming up when I’m joyriding in the mountains. Driver just needs navigation built into it so you can minimize the video and see full screen maps without needing to run Driver in the background. Do that and Driver ends the need to buy a separate dashcam.

Love all features in Driver !
Forward collision warning is my favorite.
The only issue is the phone got overheated if I use it for a long drive, and that’s when I need Driver the most.
If I run google map at the same time it got overheated even faster.
So now I no longer use it, I hope the developer can fix this soon so I can use Driver again.

I have another device I can use.
It’s definitely easier than installing an actual dash cam and far less expensive.

Game changer no need to even buy a dash cam when you have all this tech in an iPhone! Amazing 😉

This has been helpful in my new commute into NYC..

Super helpful to have recordings of my trips

Just got Driver to see the AR driving experience and the navigation keeps crashing on my iPhone XR on the latest iOS.

Great App! I love the concept. This is a great application for drivers to use!!!

Driver was not working good so I deleted and reinstalled it, and it freaking resets all your points back down to Zero!
Like, What the Actual Heck!??!

Camera is upside down and won’t flip
