Exactly what I was looking for. Just wish they would replace the ultra low resolution numbers with something nicer. Useful for biking. Update: Lol at this dude that says it's eating up his data. Ummm... It doesn't even have a network permission. Just goes to show you can cure ignorance but not dumb.

Badass app on Droid. YOU CAN CHANGE THE FONT, noobs.Could get rid of some fonts though. Outer Limits in other colors would be nice.

X70%
by X####:

AMOLED screens just don't do very well in bright conditions. The HUD display mode didn't work very well and the overall look is poor.

Q70%
by Q####:

One of my favorite apps. Works great. Don't understand why people have problems. Course it jumps sometimes. GPS signals are affected by the terrain.

K70%
by K####:

Digital display looks like crap on droid x. Speed jumps up higher than actual speed sometimes.

X70%
by X####:

Nice features but speed is jumpy. Locked cruise control at 70 and app was erratic showing speed constantly changing between 65 and 70. HTC evo

This thing is awesome! completely accurate the second I downloaded it, I'm on a bus to campus in Arizona and was curious to see how slow we're going

by X####:

Im giving it a 3 because although its the best hud software out, the speed althogorithim isnt the best. It will occasionally flash that im doing 258.

by X####:

Awesome app! My car's speedo stopped working and this HUD feature makes this app better than my original speedo. Only needs some work on graphics.

X70%
by X####:

I've used this app for over a year now on Droid 1 then Galaxy Nexus. Poor resolution, low frame rate, and crashes almost every time I leave the app. It does the trick in a pinch, but not much more.

A70%
by A####:

Absolutely superb, new version allows for changing of the font to make it neat and tidy, ignore comments about being low res! Excellent app.

by B####:

DonMungia- Omg! #1 App for cars if your speedometer doesnt work. Its perfect. Its awsome. Im happy i have a speedometer now.

X70%
by X####:

Once you find the non-crappy textures, it's great. Would be nice to have it turn the keyboard and home/search/back/settings lights off.

J70%
by J####:

Buggy. Speed display sometimes "jumps" back and forward specially when slow. Although 99% of the time works fine.

I70%
by I####:

Crappy display, not accurate, WILD swings in speed. I was not doing 200mph!

X70%
by X####:

Does what it says, but the font it uses for the digital display looks like cut out of a magazine, scanned, compressed in JPEG with 80% loss...

W70%
by W####:

Way off, bounces all over, big delay in getting somewhere near my speed. Speed limit & speed view are much better

X70%
by X####:

This app acts like it can't keep up with your phones gps, htc 4g slide.

X70%
by X####:

This is a 5 stars app for all functions(like highest speed)but something is wrong, when you hold same speed it jumps +-10km/h, in open hovercraft.

Y70%
by Y####:

Wow! Like wow! Now my del sol has hud like vet lol kinda very nice needs better interface for options. seperate color and style. Pick style then color

X70%
by X####:

horrible. waited for ten minutes for it to connect to gps and it still never happened. do not install

O70%
by O####:

It works. I like it because it doesn't use data network.Erratic speed reading is due to gps on your phone, not the app

D70%
by D####:

Works well on the 7 inch Nexus but on the phone there is no way to change it to portrait or change from mph to kmh as the menu icon cannot be seen. The Nexus is too big to fit on my motorbike so it only gets two stars.

R70%
by R####:

So far so good. 78mph on Amtrak, headed to NE out of Denver. t-mo Droid.

R70%
by R####:

It doesnt work anymore, is always waiting on gps now.

H70%
by H####:

Like the different speedo displays, but ultimately SpeedHUD is a better app...

R70%
by R####:

The numbers are very blurry and not bright at all. Not accurate. It was off by at least 5-7mph all the time. Even drove by speed checker to confirm.

N70%
by N####:

Works great for me. People are too picky with comments. Oversize tires on my jeep. Keeps me on speed. No problems here. Droid 2.2

B70%
by B####:

Doesn't allow you to turn off Keep phone awake. You have to kill the app when you're done or it will drain your battery.

R70%
by R####:

Force closes if gps is turned on after application its opened up, very low resolution. Evo

R70%
by R####:

This is the only speedometer I like in the market. Accurate too!

R70%
by R####:

It works perfectly, but it would be better if the 7 segment LCD was an actual crisp font and not a blurry blown up photo.

Moto Drood - FC first time I open it. Speed all over the place. Pretty much useless. Uninstalling.

R70%

G70%

Great idea but needs work. If I change the layout, the picture is mirrored. Moto Droid.

R70%
by R####:
