AutoGuard Dash Cam - Blackbox

Was ok for galaxy s7 but after the last system update, the background mode does not work anymore. No further response from the author. Update: works again and break down again. Now video recording does not work. Never respond to my reports. Uninstall

Recently began crashing randomly during my drive. A dashcam app is useless if I can't count on it being active when something happens.

I've only been playing with this app for a few times so far but so far I like it a lot. The only improvement I can come up with right now is that it would be nice if you could have the video automatically upload to my email account or something like that. That way no one can screw one over by forcibly erasing it on you or doing it while I'm not looking, etc. Other than that little tidbit I couldn't be happier.

This app works well and gives me piece of mind on the roads. Auto Guard has all the features necessary in a dash camera. Using my older smartphone exclusively for this app, since I got new phone upgrade from my carrier. I'm recommending this app to friends.

Orientation doesn't work right. No option for resolution.

Been using this app in my rig for a year. Very reliable and easy to use.

At first it works wonderfully. The picture and audio was great but after 2 weeks its not recording. Whenever I pressed the start button it auto stop. Will give 5 if this issue does not occur and would consider buying if the reviews never mention about the auto stop issue. So maybe this issue had been around for quite a while but the developer of the apps ignore it and does nothing.

Like this app but it no longer plays back with the map and video on my S4- video only regardless of setting- update 29 Aug 16- works fine on my Turbo 2 UPDATE 2017- N Map and speed is no longer displayed on playback when you record in vertical position. Nov 2017- app fails to work at all on my turbo 2. Uninstalled, reinstalled, blahblahblah-doesnt work. This app has been finicky for years- looking for another.

**I will change my review when it starts working again*** Of ALL the apps I have, i really liked this one BUT now it doesn't work. Today 30 November I downloaded the update and it's still not working. I uninstalled it and installed it again, and it's still not working. Very unhappy because when it worked it was great. My phone is the Samsung S5. I have it on a S3 and it works, but the excellent GPS isn't working, I'm getting precise location on the S5 when it worked, so maybe that's a glitch there. I need this kind of app when I'm driving so I'll look for an alternative that works. It was good but now it's not. Sorry but it's the truth.

Worked good at first after some recent updates the program has issues saving and screen goes black during saving and it stays stuck. My device is Blu energy XL please fix this issue, I really enjoy this app.

App seems good, but it's not of much use if it stops recording in middle of journey when running in background. Developers, could you please solve this issue so I can add another star.

Stopped working. Multiple people reporting it and no fix. So much for paying for Pro. Shame. It used to be a go to app. What happened?

Works Flawlessly. Update: Dev responds quickly to bug reports.

It does it job beautifully!

This is a Great app! Caught many things I've wanted to share. Also great for when the police officer "clocks" you at a certain speed, and you can Prove otherwise!

Couldn't get it to work

nice app

Always liked this app but I am having problems on the note 8 even un the latest updates. :( could you please help.

Not working like it was before updates. Very bad experience haw to get the old v. Back.

The best app I have found so far. Works perfectly. No other app as amazing. I suggest the pro version.

After the first video, for some reason the screen switches back into portrait mode to record the 2nd, 3rd, 4th videos etc

Until it stopped working just now, after more than a year, has been great, and reliable

This app is totally awesome! The best dash cam ever app!! Easy to use and set up.

very good

Really great app. Would give 5stars if trip data (speed etc) was saved on video file for display on whatever device I replayed video.

Does not work

Since the last update, the camera now appears incorrect and it does not shut off when multi-tasking. I don't know what happened in the update, but it has completely broken the app for me.

I'm a hgv multidrop courier and am on the road most of the time. I planned on giving this app 1 week as a free version to test it out. Within 1 morning of having it I paid for the full version coz I knew it was well worth it. Great app. Highly recommended!!

Good all over and good quality image I recommend this software for your phone. Then buying a dash cam.

Still early days, will revisit later and update.

There aren't many apps left on the Play Store that actually do what they claim, have actual support and work flawlessly. Unfortunately the Play Store turned into a waste land of shovelware over the years. Autoguard though is one of the hidden gems. It just works without any hidden agenda or frills. Gladly paid for the pro version just to support developers like this. Great job.

Make sure you reboot after the latest update. It kept crashing on my Moto G4 Plus after the update until I rebooted the phone. Other than that, it is a great app. My old dashcam had gotten stolen and I replaced it using this and it's awesome!

Revised rating: Thank you so much for rectifying the issue with recording on Galaxy Note 8!

Much easier for me to use than the complicated process I had to go through with a vehicle dash cam I bought. Easy to use and serves it's purpose well. Worth the money.

Update: Note 8 issue FIXED! Edit: Note 8 having issues with the rear camera showing a black screen.... Incredible support. Best app of its kind hands down.

I would love to give 5 ???? rating, but there is one problem with the app, which forced me to give less star. I have enabled the background recording, still if I get incoming call, the recording gets stopped. Even if I don't attend the call than also it stopped recording. Please fix this issue

I have had this app since my galaxy note 3. I also am having with an issue with my new note 8. The rear camera is black, but the front camera works. The only way to currently use this, is if my display faces my windshield and that won't work. Please fix this issue. Thanks

Paid for the Pro because I wanted multitasking. Once you go to the home screen the camera stops working. Sent them an email. Never got a response. This is on a S8 plus

Paid for the unlocker. Bargain price. My only problem is if I put saved videos in the ARCHIVE mode. When I delete all videos it also deletes the ARCHIVED videos. Bit pointless really.

**Not working on new Note 8 now. I got one response from developer to change quality of video but it didn't work. Still waiting for a fix.*** Old: worked on Note4. OLD:Worked great on my HTC but I just got a Samsung Galaxy Note 4 and it locks up every time.
