About Speedster

Speedster is a speed camera detector for iOS built to help drivers avoid fines. It shows a map of known speed cameras and sends early notifications when one is nearby, and a constantly updated database of radars and cameras backs the alerts. The app also warns about the maximum speed in the current area and lets the user pick a destination directly on the map.

Other features include a dynamic map that works with Apple CarPlay, Apple Music integration, a reminder to open the app at a day and time you choose, and Apple Watch compatibility. Drivers can also change the look of the speedometer with skins styled after car brands. The app is free to download and uses in-app purchases, including a subscription with a trial period that renews automatically unless canceled. It runs on iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch.
