Driver: Driving & Dash Cam App

New comments: Love the new improvement with picture in picture feature so my navigation map is visible when driving. This app keeps getting better. Thanks. Original review: It’s easy to open the app, place the phone on my magsafe mount in the center of my dash, press record, and go. I do it without thinking now. I love the fact that I can quickly delete uneventful trips, or set a schedule for deletion so it doesn’t overload my phone. I can also see stored videos online if needed for a truly modest subscription. I can choose HD if I want to capture small details like license plates, etc. I recently saved some video of a near miss so I know I can access an accident if needed. I’m able to review trips on my Mac—a nice convenience. I also used it with navigation and it worked fine. I’m on an iPhone 14, so I don’t have an option to record sound yet, but that’s not a feature I have to have. It beeps if it detects a possible hazard, and clearly identifies the objects in front of me by name—car, bus, truck, person. Frankly, I can’t believe this app is available for my phone. I can’t think of a single reason why I’d want to pay for an independent dashcam. This does the job effectively, with a device I already own. Great app.

I’ve enjoyed hundreds of different apps since the 2007 inception of iOS. Never before have I felt the need to congratulate a developer on a job well done; as it’s my humble opinion: a job is not worth doing if it can’t be done right. Driver however is SO incredibly well done, I’m embarrassed i looking into physical dash cams at all. Usability: the app itself is straightforward and wonderfully designed. In all honesty, skip the tutorial and go straight to the app— navigating the tutorial was more confusing than the app itself. Features: base app is loaded to begin with, add the 4.99 premium and you’re upgraded to the cloud which can store videos as well as make trip summaries, driver assistance features such as object identification and crash warning… and literally what blew my mind: if you provide your address, they’ll mail you a car mount. A FREE car mount. A free COOLING car mount to prevent your phone from overheating in the windshield. I expected the thing to arrive in six month given the price point… it arrived in three days. Quality: I’m downright flummoxed how they’ve managed to accomplish recording simultaneous high quality feeds with limited storage space required. About 6 hours of dual-cam fed footage is equivalent to 2 gigs on my phone. Wishlist: just one (which says a lot because I got needs)…you can identify people, you can identify buses and cars… how bout an alert when the light turns green?

First off let me just say that I regret overlooking this app once before in the AppStore. I REALLY wish I would have downloaded and used this app a long time ago but I am happy to know that despite how long it’s been since it first launched that the app developers are still supporting this app. I am a Lyft Driver and I have been with the platform for over 3 years and counting as of the time of this posted review. I once had a physical dash cam setup in my car but it wasn’t fully functional during the time I had it. Unfortunately I was involved in a hit-and-run incident that resulted in my car being totaled in 2019. In short, I have been involved in about 3 major accidents over the last 3 years. Thankfully I can still drive and do what I enjoy as a Lyft Driver but now after recently downloading this app, it has given me a guaranteed sense of security and safety each time I get behind the wheel. Without a doubt, this app is very much essential for every single driver regardless if they commute back and forth to work, run quick errands to gas stations or a drive-thru, even taking road trips across country. It doesn’t matter how much driving experience an individual has. 1 year or over 10 years. This app could bring you peace of mind knowing that IF an incident or accident does occur that the video recordings can serve a significant purpose especially when it comes to insurance claims but speaking on behalf of Lyft and even Uber drivers, this app is so easy to use and overall it deserves millions of downloads. Thank you so much for creating this app Driver Technologies Inc. Please continue the future support and updates to make it even better. 10 stars!!
