DUBL Drive debuted for iPhone back in January as a handy way to turn the simultaneous camera feature in iOS into a smart dash cam. Now the app is getting its first major update with some great new capabilities including a pre-recording option to capture events even if they’ve already happened, automatic braking detection triggering recording before and after an event, recording in landscape, a lifetime purchase option, and more.
DUBL Drive detailed the update in a press release today:
Another great feature for DUBL Drive is Apple Maps integration for directions and speed. And the iPhone XS and XS Max can take advantage of the dual-camera feature as well as the iPhone 11 lineup.
- 30 second pre-recording to capture events after they happen
- Automatic braking detection saves footage of 20 seconds before and 10 seconds after
- Audio toggle options so you can listen to music and make calls while using DUBL Drive
- Improved user interface
- Record in landscape mode
- New standard, satellite, and hybrid maps with pan and zoom functionality
When it first launched, DUBL Drive required a subscription to get all the features. Today they’ve made a lifetime purchase available for just $25. That’s a nice option for those who prefer to pass on the $2/month or $15/year plans.
The company is also planning updates in the future to include speed-based auto-activation and cloud-based storage.
DUBL Drive is a free download from the App Store with the subscription and outright pricing available to unlock the full app.
