How it looks in Sbu Speed

What it does

  1. Current speed in km/h or mph, one large whole number
  2. Top speed, average speed and distance of the trip, kept until you reset it
  3. The average counts only time spent moving: stops do not lower it
  4. Optional speed limit: go over it and the line under the number says so, and your iPhone vibrates and plays a sound once
  5. The dial adapts like a car's: 40, 80, 130 or 200 mph
  6. Reset the trip with a confirmation
  7. The screen stays on while you watch your speed
  8. Location is used only while the app is open and stays on your iPhone
  9. Light and dark mode, Dynamic Type, VoiceOver

Questions

Is Sbu Speed really free?

Yes. No subscription, no in-app purchases, no ads.

Does Sbu Speed record my routes?

No. It uses your location only while the app is open, to read your speed, and saves no route. It keeps only the trip totals (top, average, distance) until you reset them. Nothing leaves your iPhone.

Does Sbu Speed warn me when I go over the limit?

Yes, if you set one in Settings, under Speed limit. When you go over it, the line under the number says so and your iPhone vibrates and plays a sound once.

How do I switch from km/h to mph?

In Settings, under Units. At first the app picks your region's unit.
