Good, except screen goes blank when driving, this has been set not to go blank in settings. However it still continues to record. The control button layout when using Landscape could be better. Top button obscured by time/microphone display. Is this a problem of free Vs pay/pro app?

This is realy a very useful app. It does all the normal stuff that a dashboard camera would do and is an excellent replacement for one when the real thing is not available. I use it mainly on holidays when renting a car and not having with me my real dashboard camera. Do not expect the high quality smooth-flowing videos that you would get from the real thing, but the resolution and readability of the recorded number plates should be more the sufficient for an insurance claim (check in advance).

I'm testing this against the other store rivals, so far this looks like the one I'll install. But it's missing one key feature... The screensaver only allows me to display the time of day, which is pointless. If I could change this to Speed then this would be the one for me. Also I can't work out what the difference between this and the pro version is, why should I pay €9.99? Has anyone got an answer to that?
