This is like having a high end dash cam, but on your cellphone. This is an EXCELLENT app that is extremely useful. In regards to comme ts about draining your battery, yes, it does drain the cellphone when used over long drives. But it's your cellphone, so an app running on long trips constantly, without a sleep mode or anything... yeah. I use it on my 30 minute commute, it's better than any dash cam I have used or seen. Highly recommend!
1. Needs a map (ideally burnt into .mp4 but otherwise a gpx track player syncd to video) 2. NIGHT EXPOSURE AT LEVEL 12 IS WAY TOO DARK! 3. Subtitle font WAY too big on less than 1280 resolution 4. Recorded subtitle layout/font should match the on-screen preview display so you 'get what you see' 5. mp4 files should be stored in folders created by date
Uptil now the app has been working very good but now the app automatically shuts down after 11-12sec. I have checked all settings like disable auto optimise, auto start active upon Bluetooth connection, etc but none of the fixes work. kindly give some solution.
I love this app, it works really well, except I would love to see the ability to auto upload to YouTube.
Okay. So the overheating problem is no more. My next issue is that when I hit stop or cancel on my home screen. It automatically starts a new one. Can you have it so that it doesn't do that?
