About Needle: GPS Speedometer
Your speed, on your phone, and nowhere else. Needle shows GPS speed on a clean dial, records your trips, and times your 0-60 - entirely on-device. No account. No network. No analytics. No ads. The App Store privacy label reads "Data Not Collected" because that is literally true: the app has no networking code in it at all. - Live speed from GPS, smoothed with the accelerometer between fixes - Trip recording - distance, duration, max and average speed - 0-60 mph / 0-100 km/h timer with a personal best - Live g-meter with peak hold - Night HUD mode - red on black, to protect your dark adaptation - Five themes, light and dark, with a custom accent colour - Over-limit haptic alert - mph or km/h Needle is not a drag-strip timer and does not claim to be. GPS updates once a second and the accelerometer fills the gaps, which is good to roughly 0.2s.
