Speedometer Free Speed Box app review

Speedometer Free Speed Box

Price: Free

Speedometer Free Speed Box by Hans Schneider is a motorsports enthusiast app that lets you track the speed and acceleration of your motor vehicle, or any other form of moving conveyance, for that matter.

Speedometer Free Speed Box is a free speedometer application employing the same algorithms as the paid application "Speedbox." It offers three different speedometer displays that can be projected in either landscape or portrait orientation. It offers speeds in knots, miles per hour, or kilometers per hour, in order to provide the widest possible applicability in different vehicle types and speed enforcement jurisdictions.

Speedometer Free Speed Box was updated to 5.0.1 late in October of 2012. It has a total of 4161 customer ratings with an average of 2.5 out of five stars. Feedback comments are generally positive, proclaiming the app to be both simple and functional, providing precisely the feature set and cost point it advertises.

I like this app because it provides a free backup to my vehicle’s onboard speedometer. By accessing the technology already in my phone, it provides additional and important data which I can use to regulate my actions and my interactions with the world around me. One particularly handy feature is the GPS accuracy button, which allows easy access to information about how closely you actual position is being tracked. The latest version also includes an important bug fix which prevents errors from occurring when shifting between portrait and landscape views.

For: iPhone, iPod touch, iPad with iOS 5.0 or later
