Always-On Speed (Demo)

This is a demo version of the Always-On Speed app.
It has exactly the same functionality as the full version; however, you can use the demo version for only 3 minutes at a time, as many times as you like!
Supported languages: English, French, German, and Russian (outside Russia).
The application shows the following metrics while keeping the device awake:
Speed in km/h, m/s, miles/h, or knots.
Average and maximum speed for the last 60 seconds.
Direction of movement in degrees and cardinal points (shown only when moving).
Current time in hours and minutes.
Gesture control:
Swipe left to open Settings.
Swipe right to set the speed limit**
Swipe up to change the font color to white and increase the font thickness for maximum readability under direct sunlight.
Expect a higher power consumption.
Swipe down from the middle of the screen to check the power consumption rate.
Text-to-speech:
The app can read the speed aloud when it exceeds the speed limit set by the user.
Touch the screen with your nose, chin, or knee to hear the current time without taking your eyes off the road and/or both your hands off the handlebar.
Most languages are supported.
Important information:
Please make sure GPS is enabled in the settings of your smartwatch before launching the app.
The app automatically uses location data from the phone (instead of the watch) when it's available for maximum power efficiency and accuracy.
Do NOT disable GPS on the watch in either case.
The accuracy depends on cloud cover and your speed.
The accuracy is very high when the sky is clear and your speed exceeds 20 km/h or 12 mph.
Speed data comes directly from Google Location Services.
If the speed information is not accurate enough, please contact Google or your device manufacturer.
The app does not log your activity and does not connect to the Internet.
Settings:
Speed limit: set the speed limit, adjust the sound volume and vibration for speed limit alerts.
Unit of speed.
Screen rotation: rotate the text on the main screen until it aligns with your eyes.
For example, if you wear your watch on your left wrist, set the Screen Rotate setting to 45 when riding a bicycle.
This setting works for both flat-bar and drop-bar bikes.
Time format: 12h or 24h.
Inactivity alert.
Avg & max duration options: 1, 2, or 3 minutes.
Screen brightness***
Additional information:
The display stays on until you quit the app.
Use the Back button to exit the app.
Pressing the Home button will move the app to the background temporarily; the app will return to the foreground automatically as soon as the screen turns off.
Numbers move up and down the screen at the start of every minute (e.g., 11: 00: 00, then 11: 01: 00, etc.) to prevent screen burn-in and give you a better sense of time.
Green font uses half as many sub-pixels as white font, resulting in lower power consumption.
Palm gesture rejection prevents you from accidentally turning off the screen.
Power consumption: ~10%/h as measured on a 44mm Galaxy Watch 4.
Google Maps navigation updates are not shown while the app is running.
Please contact the developer if you encounter a bug, if the app does not function as advertised, or if you would like to become a beta tester or volunteer as a translator.
Feature requests are more than welcome!
Please rate/review to support app development.
Footnotes:
* This app uses GPS data instead of a magnetometer (compass) to accurately determine the direction of movement.
** Only on devices that support rotary input via a rotating side button or bezel.
Alternatively, speed limit and sound volume can be adjusted using arrow buttons in Settings.
*** Screen brightness can be adjusted from inside the app only on devices that support rotary input.
Alternatively, screen brightness can be adjusted in the settings of your watch.
