User reviews
Love it, free and works. Needs to have user speed limit input function added. Either by monitoring our speed limit or manual input. also that it won't mistake the speed limit of the intersecting streets
It's a very useful app & I find it to be mostly accurate, one or two dead spots in rural areas but that applies to any app. However it constantly switches itself off in settings/accessibility on my phone (Galaxy S4), can't think why.
Works well. Alerts when i reach speed limits designated for a road.
Love it. Should default to mph when in UK otherwise it looks broken
great little app
super
