Detailed Review

Speedometer: GPS Speedometer by Simple Design Ltd. represents a specialized mobile tool that leverages satellite positioning to deliver precise velocity measurements for various transportation modes. The application positions itself in the competitive navigation utilities market by focusing specifically on speed tracking accuracy rather than comprehensive navigation features, targeting users who require reliable speed data independent of their vehicle's built-in instrumentation. The application's core functionality centers around real-time GPS speed tracking with dual display modes—digital and analog—accompanied by an odometer for distance measurement. The speed limit alert system provides auditory and visual notifications when exceeding preset thresholds, while the head-up display (HUD) mode projects speed information in a windshield-friendly format for nighttime driving. Premium features unlocked through subscription include live mapping with route tracing capabilities, though the free version remains functional with minimal advertising according to user reports. User experience demonstrates thoughtful design considerations for practical implementation. The interface maintains large, legible numerals suitable for mounting scenarios on bicycles, motorcycles, or dashboards. Real-world usage patterns indicate primary application for vehicle maintenance tracking (noting riding hours and mileage), speed verification against faulty vehicle speedometers, and recreational use during cycling or motorcycling activities. The HUD mode's effectiveness particularly stands out for nighttime driving scenarios where reduced dashboard illumination is desirable. User feedback trends consistently highlight accuracy and utility across diverse transportation contexts. Brandi Bishop (August 23, 2025) noted effectiveness for tracking maintenance intervals across multiple mini-bikes and dirt bikes, praising display visibility when mounted. John Cornett (August 22, 2025) reported verification from law enforcement regarding the app's accuracy when their vehicle speedometer displayed incorrect readings. Rub Ima (July 28, 2025) clarified misconceptions about mandatory payments, noting manageable advertising in the free version despite initial subscription prompt ambiguity. The application demonstrates notable strengths in measurement accuracy and multi-modal vehicle support, though limitations include potential subscription model confusion and reliance on GPS signal quality. Ideal use cases encompass vehicle maintenance tracking, speedometer verification, and scenarios requiring large-format speed displays. The application serves particularly well for users operating older vehicles with unreliable speedometers or those requiring detailed activity metrics for maintenance scheduling across multiple vehicles.

I love this app! We have 4 mini bikes and a dirt bike. I use it to track riding hours and miles for maintenance purposes. The screen is large enough to see if you have your phone mounted on the bike. Digital and Analog options, as well as live map if you pay (very affordable).It tells you the distance traveled, time, average speed, top speed, and shows the route taken on a map in the summary. it also let's you name the trips to keep them organized if need be. Definitely recommend

An Oregon State Trooper actually turned me onto this app. after pulling me over for doing 70mph in a 60 zone on a desolate highway outside Lakeview. (The speedo on the commercial truck I was driving WAS showing a speed 10mph SLOWER than what I was actually traveling). The transport company later replaced the speedo. The trooper wrote the ticket, I ended up paying the fine, & it went on MY record! I've used the app ever since. The trooper suggested THIS app over others, so I trust it!

All these reviews about it only being paid are just not true. Is it a bit vague how to click through the subscription banner the first time it pops up? Maybe, but after that you just get one ad at the start and one banner at the bottom thats it. Easy to use, draws your route on the map. Love it
