OsmAnd DVR App Reviews

This is a great dash cam and has lots of quality settings but the free version only records 60 seconds of video at a time and theres no way to play music while recording which means youll need a dedicated phone.

Downloaded and bought full version. Really like the layout and features of app. The only problem is it wont let the camera focus beyond the hood of vehicle. This a very major problem for a app used to record video. The hood of vehicle is in perfect focus, but every thing else is blurred. Please fix this and it would be a five star app.

This app is quite professional. Lots of options, and very replete help documentation thoroughly explaining what the various settings do for you. My iPhone 5 is just tall enough for the camera to peek around the side of my windshield mount, so I can record going down the road. Im hoping to try out the web server part, to try and automate the archiving of videos off to disk storage. You never know, proof of your whereabouts might save your butt in our litigious society someday.

This is a great dash cam app! Easy to use, reliable, does everything the developer says it will do and does it well. Plus, was prompt in answering a question, providing an easy solution to the issue I had. Definitely worth the purchase price!

The only problem with this app is that it will not focus beyond the hood of the vehicle, even after tapping the "refocus" button. I tested this outside the car and the same problem exists. This is the only thing thats keeping me from purchasing it. Please fix and you have another customer!

Out-dated app that is just a rebranded version of the old app that was released/removed. Constantly crashes/Blue-screens while recording. I got a refund. I wouldnt recommend this app to anyone. Just get a Garmin.

I tried other apps and even a Cobra dash cam, not happy with the lack of features or ease of use. I started to use this cam and was hooked from the start. I drive tanker truck at night, the video is clear, saving clips is simple and viewing them is a breeze. Too many great features to mention. Thank you for the great app.

Do yourself a favor, get this app. I paid the extra for the features and havent looked back since. Its fantastic. Truly.

I use this every time I get into my car. Its good to have it recording because youll never know what will happen down the road.

I have recorded some interesting drivers out there so far. I can see where this would exonerate me in an accident. I would be able email this to the person in front of me if they needed it for proof of their innocence. Nice job on the whole thing. This is just what I was looking for. Thank you.

V3.21 Fixed the major bugs in v3.2 even though your change log didnt mention so back to 4stars. V3.2 Brought back the bug that wont let you leave the driving mode no matter where you click. Thus cant stop recording. Also just found out now you cant even click to save the video to favorites!!! Normally you use to click and would show a star and would turn red while recording now it no longer works. Please fix!!!!!! I did notice you added for users to be able to choose the night color though Ps why even have a website when it does nothing. No help pages no contact information nothing. Seriously!? ------/ After trying a few dozen apps this one by far outdoes all of them even better than expensive dedicated ones. I was on the edge to buy a dedicated one but have been using this for weeks and just upgraded to the full version today since so pleased and I never buy apps! Well this can record front facing cam or cam facing you. Records all map and gps data which can be played back with or without it on screen. Makes a wireless server when in wifi to see videos on computer. Links to Dropbox for easy transfer as well ( but have not seen this work yet. Will update later). Works in landscape or portrait. Has a much needed driving mode which is required in many states since legally you cannot have video in view of the driver so this switches over to a nice speedo mode. If you see something you want to save simply tap the screen and it will save to favorites. Also has a shock sensor so if you got in an accident it would auto save that video to favorites. Other videos can be adjusted in size in full version. The free one is fine to but only records 1min clips but keeps recording many of them. After memory setting is reached it will start looping the recordings. It has a camera button not sure why but its there. Has a full screen map function but again not sure why as there is no navigation. You cannot run this in the background due to an apple limitation not the apps. But you can run your navigation app in the background while you run this in the foreground. Recording stops when you receive a call and will auto start back up once call is over. Has variable or fixed focus. So overall you cant beat this. Your camera most likely will have a better image than most dedicated dashcams but at least my iPhone 5 only does so so for clarity at night. I give this app a 9 out of 10. It occasionally will become non responsive but a quick force quit and relaunch fixes. Oh. Check your local laws. Many states dont allow things attached to windshield. Here in California the laws changed to allow gps and dashcams. And now updated law to allow phones to be the gps/dashcam. They do state though it must be mounted in the drivers side bottom 5in sq corner. Or slightly larger area on passenger side. Depending on slope of your windshield this might not be possible but I use a flex mount to put the actual suction cup in that area and move the phone up to view. That should be legal since no mounting possible in my bottom corner

Indisputably the best there is. Very well engineered and user friendly!

I have the free version? I only get a minutes worth of video even though I travel 15 minutes?? Tried it last night and ended up with 2 videos one was minute the other 10 seconds. I wish the lengths on the free version was longer than the minute as I missed one van no headlights and bicycle with no lights ! Make video length 5 minutes at least on free version and you get 5*
