[2013-07-06] A Google User: Love love love Best app ever. |
|
[2013-07-06] A Google User: Does not work with custom ROMs. Always get failed to preview error. |
|
[2013-07-05] A Google User: Love the recorder I'd give this 5 stars, but for some reason when recording, I get some slight stuttering effect on the video. I know it's on the recording side because even when uploaded or attempting to play on a pc, the stutter is still there. Once you can solve this issue, it will definately be a 5 star app. Issue occuring on the galaxy S3 both on internal memory and a Samsung 32GB class 10 memory card Ok edit: I've upgraded to the latest and no issues aside from it is still showing in my updates on play store. EDIT again, app is working flawlessly. |
|
[2013-07-03] A Google User: Needs work and less permissions... Lags horribly while recording. Leaves skips in the recordings. Will start itself and run in background even while not in use. Eat up too much ram. |
|
[2013-07-02] A Google User: Video scrolls/messes up Great looking app, all kinds of features and options and would have been completely satisfactory, but after a few seconds, the video scrolls and tweaks out, like an old VHS tape. If that can be fixed, 5 stars. |
|
[2013-07-01] A Google User: Perfect. Just so happened to capture a big crash between a lorry and coach only an hour after I started using it. Everything works as it should. Happy days |
|
[2013-06-29] A Google User: Excellent Worth the purchase price . Works great on my One. Video records at 15fps, which is fine, but It would be nice to be selectable. I have set it up to automatically start recording when I dock the phone, so no hassle. |
|
[2013-06-28] A Google User: Autoguard free version Great app but gps speed does lag behind real speed. I have an s4 and so far no problem just phone gets very hot even with screen off. Anyone know of a good windscreen mount? as mine wobbles so picture can appear juddery |
|
[2013-06-27] A Google User: Recording issues It's a great app except about half of the recordings are corrupt and won't play. If it weren't for this issue I world rate 5 stars. Samsung Galaxy S4. |
|
[2013-06-24] A Google User: Great app Great app!!!!! This will save my insurance premiums big time!!! Thanks to the person who wrote this app!!! |
|
[2013-06-24] A Google User: App Freezes and Videos are not annotated I have started using Autoguard app in LGE Nexus 4 and the video freezes after recording for sometime and asks me to wait or quit. My major problem is the video is neither annotated and nor the speed or map or GPS speed comes when I upload the video in you tube. I can not share the video as it shown in in-app player. However I really like the UI and the video and map side by side |
|
[2013-06-23] A Google User: Doesn't work with CM |
|
[2013-06-22] A Google User: Does everything you need. Couple of suggestions: Turn off beep when new file is started. Very annoying. Make notification bar icons a bit less garish, more Holo. |
|
[2013-06-19] A Google User: Love it Love it |
|
[2013-06-19] A Google User: Almost great. I love this app. However I really wish it would continue recording when the vehicle is stopped or off. I really need an app that records while driving and while stopped. |
|
[2013-06-19] A Google User: galaxy s3 its a great app only one small problem is the speed says im doing 5 mph less than im actually doing other than that its a very good thing |
|
[2013-06-19] A Google User: Garbage After recording for a couple seconds, causes S3 to reboot. |
|
[2013-06-18] A Google User: Great App Excellent little app, and well worth the $2.80. Been long considering getting an in-car camera but for a fraction of the cost this is definitely an equivalent. Only problem with the app, as others have mentioned, is the GPS lag. In one piece of footage you can see a pedestrian walking quicker than my car but the speed is displayed as 25km/h... A part from that it does everything as advertised and does it well. Would be good to customise how the speed/time/location is imprinted on the uploaded YouTube videos but that's very much a nice to have compared to the GPS lag. |
|
[2013-06-18] A Google User: Excellent with a few exceptions(might be phone) I think I have the same issues with the GPS lag issue as well as a couple of times it claimed I was going 255MPH. The other major issue I have is that it stops recording leaving the video unviewable and gives an error message, however, that error message flashes by so fast I cannot even read what the issue is. Overall when it works, it is great and has great camera quality with minimal or no pixelation on my old Mytouch 3G. If I can figure out why the video stops recording, this would be a great app as the GPS lag does not bother me, though I can see some concern. |
|
[2013-06-14] A Google User: Awesome app I'm an over the road truck driver and I am so glad to have discovered this app. My phone sits in its cradle on the dashboard recording everything that happens in the road in front of me. If I'm involved in a wreck that's not my fault I will have video proof. THANK YOU!!! |
|
[2013-06-14] A Google User: brilliant app tried and tested many of these apps . I found this one the best by far. |
|
[2013-06-12] A Google User: GPS Lags Everything works for the most part so I purchased the pro version. However the GPS speed indicator seriously lags which also shows up in the recording. If this is used to provide legal evidence,the inaccuracy of the GPS speed within a second or so is a concern. Hopefully the Dev will provide a fix as a leading competitor has no issues with GPS speed lag on the same hardware. |
|
[2013-06-09] A Google User: Does not work Looks promising, but I always get "failed to preview" when I start recording. Changing video options does not help. Samsung Galaxy S3 running CyanogenMod 10.1. Developers, feel free to contact me about troubleshooting because I would really want this to work. |
|
[2013-06-08] A Google User: Great app Excellent for using your device as a car dashcam |
|
[2013-06-08] A Google User: Great app |
|
[2013-06-06] A Google User: Unique set of features Just try it... The video preview with track, address and speed data is amazing. |
|
[2013-06-05] A Google User: really good! Video scrolls with "Automatic high quality recording" enabled, if you choose the high (or your preferred) resolution manually it is a great app! I am on a Galaxy S3 |
|
[2013-06-02] A Google User: Constant updates Too many updates |
|
[2013-06-02] A Google User: 1st rate app. Seems to be flawless on this device. |
|
[2013-06-01] A Google User: Get dashboard DVR |
|
[2013-05-31] A Google User: Not worth installing on HTC One X Does everything I want but keeps crashing (constantly) |
|
[2013-05-21] A Google User: Works great The way some idiots drive. Everyone should have this. |
|
[2013-05-21] A Google User: Doesn't work with Nexus4 It can't connect to the camera. (video/snap both) |
|
[2013-05-21] A Google User: Creates safety hazard, great app if worked right The concept of this app is great, I love everything about it. It records your GPS location on a google map, your speed, time, even has a "crash" sensor. There is only one problem as others have pointed out, the frame of the video begins to scroll. It's similar to old VCR's with the tracking messed up, you get the top half of the frame on the bottom, and the bottom half of the frame on the top, or other variations, or it just constantly scrolls. I have stopped using the app because it creates a safety hazard while driving. You're constantly looking at your phone's screen to make sure it's not messing up. If the developer would fix this ONE issue, this app would be a 5 star app, until then it's a 1 star because the scrolling makes it unusable. I'm using a Samsung Galaxy s3 SGH-I747 if this helps. I love everything about the app, it's a great idea, but fix the scrolling issue. |
|
[2013-05-19] A Google User: Great App One of the few apps that works as expected without issue. Dev is very responsive to emails as well. |
|
[2013-05-18] A Google User: superb in car recorder. A well thought out system The developer has definitely taken their time in working out what is required for a black box type vehicle recording system. Even in the free version when you play back the video from with in the app, you get the map location displayed next to the playback. Sound was also recorded. I'm using a Samaung Galaxy Note 2. I haven't taken it for a long trip yet but will see how the phone preforms when running the app for extended periods of time. All in all it's a worthy $3.20 NZD investment. |
|
[2013-05-18] A Google User: Simply great This app is more simple then the others. It works every time unlike others that have problems initializing the camera. Best of all it's free. It's worth paying for too though Erich I recommend as it loses the ads Erich is basically the only difference between the paid and free version. |
|
[2013-05-16] A Google User: GLITCHEs Constantly glitches Waze and my podcast apps. Causes false positives on bumps. Stops recording on its own every so often. Can't recommend at all. |
|
[2013-05-15] A Google User: AG Very cool app works great on DROID razor. Recommend Pro to record with screen off and other great features. Well worth it. Uses about 2.5g on 1 hour trip with high quality recording. |
|
[2013-05-09] A Google User: Power hungry Excellent app but massive battery drain so unusable sadly. Drains my battery faster than my charger charges it! I've tried 3 chargers all same. Even shut down wifi and Bluetooth still no good and the Samsung Note has a big battery. Shame. |
|
[2013-05-08] A Google User: Great app. Simply great. |
|
[2013-05-08] A Google User: One of the best blackbox video cams I've evaluated more than 10 if not all these Android blackbox video recorders for SG3 before I committed to buy Autoguard. I must say this is one of the best ones around. The free version runs as a front app, at times, it runs way too hot and the system won't allow to charge the battery during the use. You definitely need the paid version to run it as background service, it saves battery and runs much cooler, plus the paid version automatically uploads to Youtube, it starts whenever my phone is paired with my car's Bluetooth. However if the developer can add these features/fixes, I would upgrade it to 5 star. (a) I am using SG3 which supports 1920 x 1080P recording, most blackbox cams have no problems to record at 1920 x 1080P on my phone, but this one won't record 1080P, it rolls picture frames with distorted colors. It can only record at 1280 x 720 screen resolution (b) Most other apps such as Autobo/DailyRoads etc automatically recycle/overwrite older files when the space quota is full, this app lacks this important feature, it stops recording when the quota is full. By the way, I give other similar apps 1-3 stars rating. |
|
[2013-05-08] A Google User: Best in Class with Room for Improvement This is the best car trip recorder/black box android app IMO. It's intuitive and functions well with my Galaxy Nexus. If I had to buy this app again, I most definitely would. I do have some minor issues: 1) The speed indicator lags - quite a bit. This causes the recorded video to indicate that I am moving, when the video clearly shows that my vehicle is stopped (for example). In some cases the speed indicator will jump around from 0 MPH to 3 or 4 MPH when I have been stopped at a red light for 10 or 15 seconds. Strange. 2) For some reason, the video stops recording when I turn my phone's screen off. I am not sure if this is a conflict with other software on my phone (ie. JuiceDefender), but when I leave the screen running it (of course) drains my battery faster and makes my phone extremely hot. |
|
[2013-05-08] A Google User: Nice but critically flawed. Great app and combination of features but the flaws are severely holding it back. Extreme heat and huge battery drain. The GPS coverage is VERY poor when this app is running, closing it immediately causes other apps to get great coverage again. GPS Test app shows a huge boost in accuracy the second you stop background recording. Also the default video settings use a LOT of memory and have bad top/bottom scrolling and bad color artifacts. Its possible to tweak the video settings to get better space usage and quality but it is trial and error since some combinations cause the app to lock up on recording or on playback. Maybe all of these problems are specific to the Galaxy S3? |
|
[2013-05-08] A Google User: Love this app I tried this app out on the way to work this morning. Very nice. Gives me exactly what I have been looking for. |
|
[2013-05-08] A Google User: Unstable This app is hit and miss. Agree never know whether I'm going to get a black screen when I hit record or not! Simply doesn't work at times. Agree with comments about power and gps hogging. It has great potential let down by these issues. |
|
[2013-05-08] A Google User: Amazing app! Would love if there was no sound between recording changes in the background. Would like the option of forcing record in landscape, as portrait doesn't return to landscape while recording. Really great app though. Will buy unlock key! |
|
[2013-05-07] A Google User: Very nice The background recording works well and auto recording when bluetooth links to my car is fantastic. Minus one star because of annoying clicks every 10 mins as it saves a file and starts a new one. I'm sure there must be a way to disable that but I haven't found it. |
|
[2013-05-02] A Google User: Excellent App, great features! I use this app daily and is the best out there! Works like a champ! |
|
[2013-05-01] A Google User: Good, when it works. Have been using this App with my old Nexus One for sometime, and consistently have issues with it force closing. I have tried different ROMS, but have found nothing to completely fix the issue. Would not recommend buying it unless you know for sure it has no problems with your device(s). |
|
[2013-04-30] A Google User: Stuttering Getting stuttering on record. Paid for full version and really not happy. |
|
[2013-04-28] A Google User: Very good but Please can background mode be background mode - it keeps turning the screen on when saving. No need to tell me it's saving! The messages I do need to read go too fast. Free was ok when watching video but with pro it freaks if I switch to video only with no map. Sticking with it though :-) Update: Recent updates have improved this app, watching videos back on my S3 is now fine. Option for either 2D or 3D maps? I'd really love to be able to turn the file saving 'chirps' off as it mutes PowerAmp for a couple of seconds (even when notifications are muted). Keep up the good work =) |
|
[2013-04-26] A Google User: Battery drain on HTC One X+ There is a problem with this app and battery drain on my One X+. I have tried reducing brightness and resolution. Also even tried running in the background with the screen off and all other running apps stopped, except for GPS (obviously) and Bluetooth (hands free), but still record a drain of around -260mA on a 1A supply. On long journeys the phone will turn off on low battery! I normally also run a car dashboard app but this is impossible as the drain is too high and the phone gets quite hot. As it is not possible to reduce the drain I am forced to remove the app and install a dedicated car-cam, which is a shame as otherwise it is brilliant. |
|
[2013-04-26] A Google User: Good So far good. Good quality video. Easy to use app. Good background record widget so fast start record and not have to go into app. |
|
[2013-04-25] A Google User: Awesome App I am a truck driver and I've been looking for an app to do this very thing. I tested 3 of the ones out there and histone es one easiest to work with. I decided to buy it. |
|
[2013-04-25] A Google User: Good, but somewhat lacking Overall this does what I need it to do. The GPS is a neat feature, but sometimes it causes the video to "scroll" while trying to find the location on my galaxy s3. I disabled it since it's not a crucial feature, however there is no option to disable the driving speed, so a persistent 0.0 Mph is displayed over the video. Also, when viewing the video, the map is visible by default even when GPS is disabled. |
|
[2013-04-23] A Google User: Unreliable update After the latest updates the developer managed to put auto high quality recording (1080p) to rest with only 1.7Mbits/sec while on manual 720p the movie has 11.3 Mbits/sec. The full hd video is unusable and the program keeps switching itself to auto high quality recording after one movie with my settings. And telling that autoguard on a S3 with class 10 card can't record full hd is pretty funny (but it used to work). |
|
[2013-04-19] A Google User: ok good GPS/Speed/Show time record ... not work for me |
|
[2013-04-16] A Google User: Was A Really Nice Dash Cam App This is quite a good dashcam app but recent updates are causing camera issues on my Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus that prevent high resolution video recording. In fact I cannot record at all with all versions after 3.4.1. I am disappointed that this app is now "broken" for my device and the developer shows little interest in fixing it. |
|
[2013-04-15] A Google User: Waste of time... Can't use the app until you touched EVERY setting and read each pop up instruction. Can only save to internal phone storage (not external sd card). Waste of time. |
|
[2013-04-15] A Google User: Galaxy Relay S Have had no problem with this app, does the job also sound and video quality are amazing. If I had this app 4 yrs ago to show proof of my accident it would've been awesome. |
|
[2013-04-09] A Google User: Awesome Awesome Awesome I love the background feature on the pro version. Very clear on my Samsung Galaxy 3 and very easy to use and navigate through the menu. This is the 4th app I've tried and it's the best. |
|
[2013-04-09] A Google User: It just works for me! It does what it is supposed to do. |
|
[2013-04-09] A Google User: best car recording app i tryed most of them and this is BY FAR the best |
|
[2013-04-09] A Google User: Works Great Great app, been using the Pro version for a couple months, does what it's supposed to. Youtube integration is great and the new feature that lets you automatically start background recording with Bluetooth is exactly what I was waiting for. Watching yourself with the map+video is cool, but I want to find a way to show the map on a computer. |
|
[2013-04-08] A Google User: Great features, great video quality! I've tried other car cam apps and AutoGuard provides the best set of options and the highest quality recording. Best of all, the developer support is amazing! |
|
[2013-04-08] A Google User: Just Excellent! I tried many recorders on the market and would like truly to say this one is the best and technical support is on the highest level! |
|
[2013-04-07] A Google User: Almost perfect Needs a 'stop background recording & start foreground recording' widget or feature |
|
[2013-04-07] A Google User: Very happy Tried a few journey recording apps and this is easily the best of them. I was very happy to purchase for extra features. Highly recommended. |
|
[2013-04-06] A Google User: Gr8 app & dev |
|
[2013-04-05] A Google User: . Jellybean update, HTC one x, phone overheats when running this app. Factory reset, still happens. Dumped this app for another that allows background recording without having to pay. Phone no longer overheats using new recording app. Also, this app not allowing focus options without paying is dumb. |
|
[2013-04-03] A Google User: Excellent The best black box app on android. |
|
[2013-03-31] A Google User: Androida Cool apps :-) |
|
[2013-03-28] A Google User: Nexus4 Good app until latest update - now camera error. Resolved very quickly.Good app. |
|
[2013-03-25] A Google User: It's a great app! It works great!!! I hardly ever give five stars because most apps don't work but this app works on my Samsung Galaxy S2 even thou the developers site says my device is one that has issues. I tried all the competitors apps & they don't work as well as AutoGuard BlackBox. |
|
[2013-03-22] A Google User: Update every day?? They should test it before releasing. Don't download unless you are ready for an app full of bugs and updates every day that introduce even more bugs. Uninstalled!! |
|
[2013-03-22] A Google User: Very good Very good & useful app. Only complaint is the widget for recording isn't centred. Would be nice to set time for backround record to finish when unplugged from dock/charger and would be good to set time popupbox is displayed for when plugging into charger as can be frustrating to have to cancel it when I'm just charging phone. Also sometimes recorded video is upside down when I transfer to pc. Appreciate frequent updates ! |
|
[2013-03-21] A Google User: I like it |
|
[2013-03-18] A Google User: Excellent app, responsive dev Been use this app every time I drive for past few months. Really love the background recording as I also use Waze. The dev is responsive on feedback and suggestion posted on AutoGuard FB. |
|
[2013-03-15] A Google User: gps fix is random -- update 15-mar-13 gps fix is random, sometime is takes 5-10 secs, other times i can drive 20+ minutes without a fix or it drops out for 5-10 minutes while driving. this is the only thing holding me back on full purchase. SG3 ///// update : using the latest version gps fix is alot faster and no more drop outs like before. ///// one question, will you implement in the future the ability to record front and rear camera now that the SGS4 has that ability. |
|
[2013-03-14] A Google User: Best app I have used so far. |
|
[2013-03-14] A Google User: Loved it then useless features and more and more crashes I bought the Pro version because at the time I thought this is the best black box app. It supported subtitle (SRT) files which I could playback on my PC using the VLC player. Now the SRT files suddenly are nowhere to be found any more (update: this is an android/windows flaw) Just the video files but no more the sub title files?? I emailed the author and never heard back. So this is why I rated it 3 stars. It used to be 5. Latest version now always crashes. No widgets anymore? |
|
[2013-03-14] A Google User: Crash crash This app has crashed more times than I care to remember. It always freezes my phone and requires me to remove my battery. |
|
[2013-03-14] A Google User: Very good Will send a wishlist |
|
[2013-03-13] A Google User: Excellent Well designed app with lots of options. |
|
[2013-03-12] A Google User: Love it I've used this for a year. I love this app. I love the way it files everything into storage. whatever date and time I choose of the past it will show me driving during that time. it will also show a map of the vehicle as it's moving. Now it uploads to youtube:) AWESOME!!!!!! |
|
[2013-03-11] A Google User: Highly Impressed! Wasn't sure how I was going to like this. But used it one night on my way home. And does what it says, Like this one a lot. |
|
[2013-03-11] A Google User: Best on market In my experience, the best of the "black box" type apps. Works well even on a lower-end device like the Droid 2 (running CM7.2 ROM). Only complaints would be minor UI issues... for example, the Auto Guard shield logo in the background of the home screen obscures the buttons. Also, the "stop" button is too close to the collision button making it difficult to hit the right one on small screens. Few other small cosmetic issues, but overall a solid app and a bargain at under 3 bucks! |
|
[2013-03-11] A Google User: Keeps getting better and better I've been using this almost constantly since I was in a hit and run a year ago. Background recording in the pro version works great. |
|
[2013-03-11] A Google User: Works perfectly Great app. Does what it says, features are outstanding. Better than any I've seen. Highly recommend. |
|
[2013-03-10] A Google User: Great Must have app if you are on the road a lot! |
|
[2013-03-10] A Google User: Great app Works great on my note 2. Pro version runs great in the background. |
|
[2013-03-04] A Google User: Some bugs Very good on the whole but a few bugs with the car dock and auto start which appears to crash the device. |
|
[2013-03-04] A Google User: Mutes my music It mutes my music every time it stops and starts recording into another file every 5 minutes. Please fix it or let meknow how to fix it. |
|
[2013-03-04] A Google User: The best one out there I tried many others this one is the best. Go ahead and buy the full version. You need it to get the full effect. |
|
[2013-03-02] A Google User: Update without explaining new permissions |
|
[2013-03-01] A Google User: Quality settings fixed on nexus 4 Had problems with the camera, emailed the dev. He responded shortly and worked with me to resolve the problems quickly. Great app. |
|
[2013-02-28] A Google User: Okay While it's running it works smoothly. Problem is it doesn't run at all in background. Get a phone call, thing is done. Atrix 2 |
|
[2013-02-28] A Google User: Very useful Great app use in conjunction with cameralert being hgv driver sick of getting cut up this will provide evidence in case of smash. nexus 4 contacted developer has sent me file rc2 to test which now works with 4.2.2 nexus 4 |
|
[2013-02-28] A Google User: Works good I tried another similar apps, but this one works best so far. |
