Ad-free no-nonsense GPS speedometer app for Android?

Piipperi · April 12

Any recommendations for a simple GPS speedometer app for Android? Or what do you guys use?

So far the only one I found is Speedometer from mypapit, however it crashes on my Galaxy S22 if I try to open the settings page or rotate the UI.

Another one I found from GitHub was Topsed Speedometer, however it's been delisted from the Play Store and the dev hasn't released an APK on GitHub.

Thank you, that seems to be exactly what I need. I'll be testing it for a bit and see if it works. So far the UI has been a bit buggy, but it seems to not affect the usability of the app

GPS Test

I've used this for years for many things. Used it several times in vehicles and motorcycles to calibrate speedometers.

Fair warning though, I block ads, and block data entirely from apps that don't need it. Since this app doesn't need wifi or cellular data I block those to it. So I have no ads, never have. Not sure if it normally would or not.

Ok I have done some testing, could it just be my phone or why does the app chew through battery like crazy? Like I know it uses the GPS and such, but I also play Pokemon GO and it doesn't eat the battery that much.
