Speedometer Speed Box App Reviews

by Mathe4

ATTN development team: I recently downloaded your speed display app for my 🍏 device hoping to have a little extra technology to help monitor speed with digital and I also I like the H.U.D. Option 😁. As a O.T.R truck driver the more technology i have to use for performance data I have the better.
I paid the few $ to have the full package without having to deal with marketing adds. So the problem is the display screen. The viewing area looks magnified to the point you only get a corner view of the tachometer/odometer, the speed data chart only comes to view with the iPad ↕️. Please look into this and fix problems so I can give a stronger 🌟 review.

I have a Prius. Checking it against those road-side police boxes, I figured it was reporting about 1 mph high. Speed Box also suggests that the Prius speedometer is reporting high. But SpeedometerSpeedBoxApp isn't consistently different. With the Prius at 70, Speed Box varies between 66 and 69. As the car changes speed, so does SpeedometerSpeedBoxApp but at a different rate. So I don't quite know how to assess what is going on. The precision is only to the nearest mph anyhow so if the car rounds up and SpeedometerSpeedBoxApp rounds down, differences are to be expected. Plus who knows what the Prius technology is anyhow- calculated or measured - sometimes it feels like the car speed is fluctuating while the display remains constant. Some damping or hysteresis in either or both of these possibly?

It would definitely beat a broken speedometer but I would say don't depend on it for an exact instantaneous speed.

I hope the next release puts priority on showing speeds down to decimal point. An absolute necessity for setting trolling speed’s on the water.

The developer is hesitant to report speeds to a decimal point because of GPS inaccuracies. Decimal point speed reporting of an average speed would be very useful for trolling fishing where we frequently see big differences between 1.4 and 1.8 mph variances. We maintain these speeds for 10 or 20 minutes at a time, so a GPS average is very attainable. I hope the developer will strongly consider incorporating the suggestion. It would expand out SpeedometerSpeedBoxApp to a much larger user base; the fishing sportsman.

I downloaded this (and assuming it would work how I wanted paid for the $4 pack with no ads) and tried it out today. I just put a new cam, clutch, transmission, & flywheel in this weekend. Broke it in 100 Miles, then wanted to put it to the test. I don’t have a camera to put on my car’s speedometer, so I thought I’d download SpeedometerSpeedBoxApp and screen capture the 0-60 and whatnot. Not good for this application as it does lag a bit. I should know better but oh well. It matched up fairly well when I maintained one speed.

first of all, I want to say that I do like SpeedometerSpeedBoxApp and I do give it four stars, but there is a problem with the new updated, version eight says that it requires iOS 10.3.3 or later, but when I look up my phones current iOS it is the 10.3.3 so I am confused to why it is not updating. But other than the problem of the update I am very happy with SpeedometerSpeedBoxApp .

Works as advertised - only flaw I’ve noticed is with the altitude tracker. Unlike the speed graph, the altitude graph does not reset itself over time, and when SpeedometerSpeedBoxApp is turned on initially, the altitude readout is sea level... meaning a rapid rise in elevation if you live in a high altitude area. If the graph reset I mentioned earlier is added, this becomes a non-issue, but until then, I have to wait a minute or two for altitude to catch up, then reset data if I want a useable graph.

I used this pretty regularly when the speedometer cable broke on my scooter. Loved it. I used it before the cable broke and found it to be more accurate than the mechanical speedo. I’ve tried other speedometer apps, and this is the one I settled on. 👍🏽

Enhancement suggestion would be a running distance, but also a secondary “trip” meter, with the option to have it log the last 4-5 trips and reset automatically each time SpeedometerSpeedBoxApp is restarted.

This is genius! My friend and I were taking his newly rebuilt hotrod chevy pickup for a test drive and wanted to know how fast it was. Unfortunately his speedometer wasnt a priority in the build; low and behold I found Speed Box! The coolest thing is the reverse graphics option so when you put your phone on the dash you can see the speed in the window reflection and its not backwards!

This is a really good speedometer app. That’s just what I use it for anyway others use it for other stuff. It tells me an accurate speed of which I’m going since my truck doesn’t like to read the right speed 100% of the time, and at times like the end of the month when cops need to give out those last minute tickets this really saves my arse!

Great for knowing mph when your speedometer is having issues! I've used the free Speed Box countless times on my vintage Honda bike, but the ads won over my $3.99.. A little higher when compared to other speedo apps, but no other app has the awesome features Speed Box offered!
The GPS mapping speedometer is the sht & all the HUD varieties are all very clean and precise.
Probably the most useful $4 I've spent in SpeedometerSpeedBoxApp Store!
Great work!

Some of you may know that auto manufacturers will set a "corrected" speed to show on your dash. This is often between 5-10% over your "true" speed which is displayed on those speed readers on the side of the road next to speed limit signs (AND SpeedometerSpeedBoxApp). The likely reason for this is so you do not drive too fast by offering a buffer for your speed-demon.

SpeedometerSpeedBoxApp allowed me to estimate the differential of my "true" speed and my "corrected" speed. I then took these estimations to adjust my speedometers on my Triumph Daytona 675R(+6%), Suzuki SV650(+7%), and BMW 335i(+7%) via the obd connections and speedohealer.

The only con I can think of is that apps like this will terminate any excuses of your speedometer not working for those of you riding with broken dashes (although RPMs and temps are a different story)

SpeedometerSpeedBoxApp is really cool. I use it when riding my electric bike because i have a phone holder on it. It. It’s really amazing and after trying other similar apps I like this one the best because of the styles. But I have some suggestions. First of all, I like the way the advertisements are small and not in the way. But I think you should move the ads to the bottom of the screen, instead of the top. That was where the ads were in a very similar app, I prefer the ad being at the bottom of the screen because I feel like it’s less distracting that way. Also I think that you should allow people to try out the extra styles the pro pack comes with, or at least see what they look like, I would definitely be more likely to buy the pro pack if it was that way. I will still probably buy the pro pack though because of its great price, for all the stuff it comes with. Overall SpeedometerSpeedBoxApp is awesome, I use it almost everyday while riding my e bike. It’s extremely useful to see what speed I’m going, and the style that shows you the map is awesome too ( though the speedometer is a little small on that style and hard to read) it’s nice being able to see myself on the map.

I use this on my Yamaha raptor and it's awesome for when I go through neighborhoods to respect speed limits. I also love it for just knowing the speed I go. It's also awesome for straight aways I can see my top speed. Besides my daily use it's very accurate and the UI is beautiful.

The only thing I would like is an Apple Watch app so i can see the speed in going through my watch and not have to get my phone dirty.

I am constantly training to be faster in the 100 meter, but I train solo. I didn't have a way to track my speed until I got this incredible app. It is spot on. One day to test SpeedometerSpeedBoxApp 's accuracy, I brought a friend along to time me. With the time my friend gave me, I calculated my speed to be about 24 miles per hour and when running with SpeedometerSpeedBoxApp, it said 24 mph. I was extremely impressed with the accuracy of SpeedometerSpeedBoxApp .

I've used his app for a few years now, and from my personal experience I can say that I've never had an issue with it, especially with me moving from device to device through iPhone upgrades (since the 5). Would recommend to somebody looking to record their averages and tops. The pro version upgrade is actually worth it, too. Not just a "Remove ads now!" upgrade. It has worthwhile features like logging and different types of graph displays.

I buy and sell cars so when I get in a new car I always use SpeedometerSpeedBoxApp sometimes speedometer’s are off as much as 10 miles an hour I have also use SpeedometerSpeedBoxApp flying in commercial airplanes I’ve seen it register 580 miles an hour so it works from 0 to 600 miles an hour I can testify to that I love SpeedometerSpeedBoxApp . I’ve always been curious about what speed a commercial airliner lands at and what speed it takes for them to become airborne now I know

When I was looking to purchase a fishing a boat, I had a lot of trouble finding out the speed of the boat from the sellers. Everyone gave estimates that didn't seem right to me. I found this little gem in SpeedometerSpeedBoxApp Store and tested it out in my truck first and it was dead on. So I rode in a few boats that the sellers over estimated the speed. I was able to show them SpeedometerSpeedBoxApp and actually got a boat for a little cheaper due to the speed being off.

I use SpeedometerSpeedBoxApp any time I carry a certain amount of weight in my boat to see how much it slows me down. It helps estimate time when meeting people at a camp. You'll find a use for it down the road.

I’ve used SpeedometerSpeedBoxApp for several years because my speedometer is broken in my car. It’s pretty accurate, and the large numbers make it easy to read.
SpeedometerSpeedBoxApp has also been very friendly towards older devices. I had an older phone with many apps no longer working, and the fact that this one was still supported was a huge help.
The ads for the free version have always been unobtrusive and take little screen space. No pop-ups, loud noises, or other annoying distractions, which seems to be a rarity in a lot of apps today.
I highly recommend SpeedometerSpeedBoxApp. It has served me well for many years, and will hopefully continue to do so.

We have a Toyota Prius. The “combo meter” which displays the speedometer and does other things as well, doesn’t turn on sometimes. So we use SpeedometerSpeedBoxApp to follow the speed laws it’s accurate and perfect. It also keeps track of how many miles you have traveled while using SpeedometerSpeedBoxApp . This is even more helpful for us because when the “combo meter” isn’t functioning, the odometer is not displayed and it also does not function so it doesn’t even record miles driven. Because we only use SpeedometerSpeedBoxApp for when the speedometer doesn’t work, it tells us exactly how many miles we’ve put on the car during these odd times when the car doesn't work right.

So, I was fidgeting in my car trying to figure out why my lighter wouldn't work when I discovered the lighter port wasn't connect. "Oh", I thought, "I'll just plug that wire back in and it'll work!" So I did, I turned the car on, tried to charge my phone, and I heard an electrical discharge inside the dash. Apparently I fried out the entire instrument cluster leaving me with no speedometer. Thankfully we live in the future and we can just download one on our phones now. SpeedometerSpeedBoxApp works great, and is very accurate. I know because when I drive past those signs that show you your speed, it says the same thing SpeedometerSpeedBoxApp does. Pretty cool stuff. Not sure how it happens, obviously some sort of witchcraft that the developer summoned in a seance. Now if only they made an app for my gas gauge.

I got SpeedometerSpeedBoxApp a few years ago when I had a car where speedometer didn’t work so I used this and the updates made this thing better and better and about 4 years later and the old car gone I still have SpeedometerSpeedBoxApp and I’m so happy I do because when your not driving you can know what’s going on while on a journey it’s awesome
