Roads Eye, an app that turns an iPhone into a dashcam with live navigation, is free on the App Store right now, down from its regular price of US$0.99. The news site New Mobile Life reported the offer on November 10, 2026 and calls it a limited time deal.

The app is made by Mikolaj Adamowicz and sits in the Navigation category. Its App Store page shows a download size of 2.3 MB, an age rating of 4+ and a minimum of iOS 26.4, so it only runs on devices with very recent system software.

What does Roads Eye do?

According to the App Store description, the app lets you skip a dedicated dashcam by using the phone you already own. It can record the road, the map view and the driver camera at the same time, shown in picture in picture.

The developer lists these features:

  • Recording of the road, the map and the driver camera in picture in picture
  • Incident recording, so important moments can be saved quickly
  • Live navigation that follows your route while you record
  • In-car integration that extends navigation into the vehicle
  • A trip history with saved recordings you can review later
  • Storing images and recordings on the phone and sharing them
  • Heat control and phone temperature management for longer recording sessions
  • Support for 17 languages, including English, Spanish, French, Japanese, Vietnamese and Chinese

The listing adds that in-car features and some functions may vary depending on the vehicle, device, iOS version, permissions and local rules. Those are the developer’s claims, and LAZY GADGET has not tested the app.

How do I get it for free?

Open the App Store on your iPhone or iPad, search for Roads Eye by Mikolaj Adamowicz and check the button on the listing. If it reads Get instead of a price, the offer is live. Use only the official App Store page, never an unofficial download site.

Apple’s listings show the app as free, including the Canada storefront page. No source gives an end date. New Mobile Life describes the offer as limited time, and App Store prices can change at any moment. If the button now shows a price, the free window has closed.

Prices

New Mobile Life gives the regular price as US$0.99, and the app is listed as Free at the time of writing. The App Store pages we read mention no in-app purchases. The price is stated only in US dollars in the sources, and we have not converted it, so check your own storefront for the local price after the promotion.

On privacy, the developer’s label says no data is collected from the app. Apple notes that this has not been verified by Apple. The page also warns that the app may use your location even when it is not open, which can reduce battery life.

The developer is blunt about limits. Roads Eye is a driver assistance and recording tool only, and it does not replace safe driving, your full attention or your duty to follow traffic laws. The listing says not to interact with the app while driving unless it is safe and legally permitted.

Recording video, audio, images, location data or driver-facing footage may be covered by local privacy, surveillance and consent laws, and the developer says it is the user’s responsibility to understand the rules in their region. Extended recording, navigation, charging and camera use can raise battery use and device temperature, and the listing says recording may stop if the device overheats. It also advises mounting the phone securely, keeping the view of the road clear and reviewing recordings only when parked.

Who it suits

Drivers who want a backup record. If you do not own a dashcam, a free app that records the road and saves incident clips is an easy way to try the idea. Check first that it is legal to record where you drive.

Rideshare and delivery drivers. The driver camera view in picture in picture may suit people who want a record inside the car too, but passenger consent rules vary by place, so read your local rules.

Road trippers. The combination of live navigation and trip history is the draw, since one app covers both the route and the footage.

Who should wait. Anyone on an iPhone that cannot run iOS 26.4, and anyone worried about heat and battery on long drives. The page also says there are not enough ratings or reviews yet to show a summary, so there is no crowd verdict to rely on.

What is still unknown

No source says when the free offer ends or whether it applies in every country. Video quality, storage use per hour of recording and how well in-car integration works with specific vehicles are not described in the listing. There is no independent review of the app in the sources we read.

Next step

If you want to try it, open the Roads Eye listing on the App Store today and confirm the button says Get before you tap it. Then read the safety notes and your local recording rules before you drive.
