Report an issueThe iPhone speed radar - easy-to-use speed measurement in your pocket, anytime, anywhere!
A unique, advanced app designed to easily measure the speed of cars, boats, skaters, skiers, cyclists, animals, models, footballs, tennis serves, etc. The system is based on motion detection, enabling you to track a moving object using a hand-held device alone. SpeedClock includes three separate speed measurement tools and two distance estimation tools.
Speed Radar SpeedClock uses the camera to detect and analyze motion, and a reference distance to calculate the speed of an object. Define the distance to the object of interest, hold the iPhone still and let the object pass across the the screen. The speed is displayed automatically. SpeedClock is also able to automatically measure the speed and save an image of passing objects. The measurement can be initiated from an Apple Watch and the speed displayed on the watch face.
High Speed Video Recording An additional speed tool records and processes a video, which enables SpeedClock to track small, fast object, such as flying balls, that can be difficult to catch with regular motion detection. It also calculates additional parameters like acceleration.
Synchronized Timing Gates A third speed instrument uses two iPhone/iPads equipped with motion detection to start and stop the timer and measure the speed. The distance between the devices is used as reference, and the speed is calculated based on the time taken by the object to travel between the 'Start' and 'Stop' devices. The time is transmitted wirelessly over WiFi or Bluetooth.
Distance Measurement The stadimeter uses the size of a known object, e.g. a car, to calculate the distance. The clinometer uses your own height as reference, along with the angle of the iPhone, to estimate the distance to a point on the ground. The distances obtained from either tool can then be used to calculate the speed.

8 of 25Loaded the app but has no function other than scrolling motion detection screens. Not functioning at all Garbage
I am in safety on a job site and use the speed clock app daily for my job to keep speeding down on the job site! For the most part I like using it and like the features it offers. I am able to show them their speed with no contesting! I feel a five rating could be in order if it would work each time it’s hard to learn it and calibrate until u get used to it!
I installed the SpeedClock App on my iPhone X. I positioned the iPhone on a tripod in my driveway with a clear view of my street. I accurately measured the distance from the iPhone to the center of the street (43 feet) and input that number into the App as per the instructions. I drove down the street several times at 30 mph and found the App measured and recorded my speed accurately to within a couple of mph. I also used the option to capture the image which shows speed, date and time. I am the HOA President and I can use this App to help identify the speedsters in our neighborhood. My thanks to the developer!
It is essential that the user learn the operation and limitations of the application. Once understood, Ithe user will be able to apply it to testing speeds on a roadway. The application did exactly what it was designed to do. I verified the speeds with Doppler and laser technologies and so long as my distance from the target vehicle was accurate, SpeedClock was accurate +/- .5 mph. Recommend it? Yes! But understand the application, operations, and limitations.
I’ve been using the app now for about two weeks. I have noticed if I am in a shadow and the subject areas and light it does not work well I’m not I’m also having issues on Cloutier days is not working this morning and it works great afternoon zero very disappointing.
Clunky, fragile, unreliable app. Keep looking.
Difficult to use, doesn’t work on iPhone. Waste of money.
I wanted to recommend this app to people in our private neighborhood to clock traffic. After an hour of experimenting, I clocked a golf cart doing 108 miles an hour, several other slow moving cars at over 150 miles an hour. I moved to three different locations and each showed 20 to 30 mile an hour traffic indicating over 100 according to the app. After watching the tutorial again and resetting the program disparate traffic were all clocked at 17.6 mph on a private street. Unusable.
