Hudway Go: Navigation with HUD 4+

Hi! While waiting for my Hudway Glass to arrive, I downloaded the accompanying apps already, and did a bit of testing. I must say, I am very enthusiastic about this app, although at this point, it seems to be developed to max 30% of its true potential. A very long road still lies ahead for you guys:), but I hope you will get there, as the result could be truly worthy. I rarely post any reviews, but I really-really want to see this system work as it should :), so I took the time to share my experiences, in the hope that these improvements could be implemented real soon (before the big nav companies come out with their HUD mode, and your window narrows).

The “ring” around the speedometer on the left side should be dynamically limited to the maximum allowed speed on the actual road we are on at that moment. E.g. if I’m on a highway, it should max out at 130 km/h. If I’m inside a residential area, then at 50, etc. If I go faster, it should change color and warn me. I don’t understand its current logic, but it doesn’t reflect reality.
It should be able to warn me if I am speeding, visually and audibly, based on the road speed limit, and also warn me for speed cameras.
The ETA readout is completely false. I’m guessing it always judges based on my speed at that given moment, and assumes that I will maintain that speed all along. It doesn’t take into account that if I go on the highway, I will be traveling 3x as fast. It should think ahead, based on my route and the max speed limits throughout the route.
If I divert from the suggested route, the screen starts flashing, and wants me to make a U turn for much too long, instead of just quickly recalculating a new route, like every other app does.
App occasionally freezes after deleting a route, and going back to the top down map view.
It should show me the total remaining length of the route too (in km, and time as well), not just ETA. Navmii solved this in a smart way, with the data changing every couple of seconds, but only occupying the same space on screen.
In 2017, no nav app can live without live traffic awareness. It should factor it in my route, and update it live every couple of minutes. It’s all very nice that maps are offline, but my guess is that in the vast majority of the cases, users would be happy to sacrifice some data usage for live traffic and rerouting. At least make it optional, so it can be switched to online mode.
The data should be more evenly organized across the screen, as now everything is skewed to the left, while there is nothing on the right. E.g. distance/ETA readouts could be on one side, and speed and speed cameras/warnings on the other side. Also, all readouts would be better if they were a bit larger.

The true USP of this app is that it shows the curving of the road ahead, which is a good advantage over other, overall better performing apps. However, several improvements still need to be made before this app can match its more established competition. Looking forward to seeing it get there! :)

Hi! Thank you very much for so detailed feedback. We really appreciate that. Of course, we still on the development process and continue work on our app improvements. Some features as you have mentioned in your feedback just wait for its turn to be implemented some of them in the implementing process. Probably our features realization will be in a different way compared to your suggestion but anyway you did the big job, such detailed feedback is extremely important because sometimes we need new ideas or different points of view to move on and become better and better. Feel free to contact us at support@hudwayapp.com if you have any questions. or suggestion. Cheers!

Guys,
Perfect idea and design, but unfortunatelly it does not take me to the right address....so what should i do with it. I’ve payed for the one year premium, the fee was deducted from my account, but still got the free version capabilities.
The best way for Your SWto be a visualization of a much better navigation app like Waze. I would pay for Your app visual with the waze capabilities!
Think about it!
