Comments on Droid Dashcam - Video Recorder for Android

★★★★★ Munish 3088 · Jun 18, 2026
Usefull app to use old phone use as dash cam big thanks to app maker
★★★★★ William Douglass II · Jun 24, 2026
Installed this app to see if I could avoid buying a dedicated dash cam again for my car. Even the free version seems to work great so far. I'll probably donate to remove ads, glad I found this.
★★★★★ La Hm · Jul 16, 2026
Great app, I bought the ad free version just to support. I use it on my motorcycle to document any possible accidents. I love the array of settings that are included (mainly camera choice and storage limit to overwrite recordings.
★★★★☆ Paul Werner · Oct 4, 2026
Best dashcam app on the Play Store! Loop recording is flawless, the UI is clean, and local subtitle overlays (speed, GPS, address, license plate) burn right into the video with no cloud/subscription needed. Only thing that'd make it better is dual front/rear recording via Camera2 API on supported hardware.
★★☆☆☆ Peter Somerfield · Jun 13, 2026
I have only given this rating as I am not sure if this can still record if turn screen off from phone. So then why is the footage just show dark blank footage when that is the case.
★☆☆☆☆ Travis Derendinger · Jun 19, 2026
Okay, I'm still having overheating issues. Just for having your app on not even recording. Second, it's still trying to double-record after hitting the button. So either create a new way to record without reopening the recording or some sort of way of separating the record button and the stop button. So that way it can't go into breakout mode. Thank you.

- Switching time-lapse mode from the main screen could cause normal recording to be incorrectly limited to 1 frame per second.
