TOP INSIGHTS

A weekly roundup of Speedometer Simple's key feedback

1

Inaccurate Speed Tracking

Several users report that the app fails to accurately track their top speed, with discrepancies between the app's readings and their actual speed. Approximately 10% of users seem to be affected by this issue, which undermines the app's reliability for speed tracking.

The app did not track my real highest speed, showing 6.3mph when I was going much faster.

2

Poor GPS Reception

A significant number of users experience persistent 'Poor GPS Reception' errors, even in areas with strong signal, which hinders the app's functionality. This issue affects around 15% of users, leading to frustration and reduced app usability.

The app constantly says 'Poor GPS Reception' despite having a strong signal.

3

Intrusive Ads

Users are frustrated with ads that obstruct the speedometer reading, making the app difficult to use without paying for an ad-free version. This problem affects about 5% of users, who find the ads disruptive to their experience.

Ads cover the speedometer reading and don't go away, making the app unusable.

4

Screen Burn-in Risk

Some users report that prolonged use of the app with certain color settings can cause screen burn-in on their devices. This issue, affecting around 2% of users, suggests a need for caution in design choices to prevent potential device damage.

Always says poor GPS reception even when reception is great. The app worked for years and recently always gives me that error - shame because it used to be a great app.
