Our Privacy Commitment

Odo shows no ads, uses no advertising identifier, and does no cross-app tracking. Your trips and routes stay on your device and sync privately through your own iCloud account. We never receive them. The only things that reach our servers are anonymous usage counts and, if you opt in, your Friends profile and your position during a convoy.

Frequently Asked Questions

Getting Started

How do I start tracking my speed?
Open Odo and grant location access when prompted. Tap the 'Start' button and the app will immediately display your current speed using GPS.
What iOS version is required?
Odo requires iOS 17.0 or later for optimal GPS performance and feature support.
Do I need an internet connection?
No! Odo works entirely offline using your device's GPS. No internet connection is needed to track speed, distance, or routes.
How do I grant location permissions?
When you first open Odo, you'll be prompted to allow location access. Choose 'While Using the App' for best results. You can also manage this in Settings > Privacy & Security > Location Services > Odo.

Speed & Distance Tracking

How accurate is the speedometer?
Odo uses your device's GPS for speed measurement. Accuracy depends on GPS signal strength — open areas with clear sky provide the best results. In dense urban areas or tunnels, accuracy may be reduced.
What units are supported?
Odo supports mph (miles per hour) and km/h (kilometers per hour). You can switch between units in the app settings.
Can I see my maximum speed?
Yes! Odo tracks your maximum speed, average speed, and current speed during each session. These are displayed in real-time on the main screen.
How is distance calculated?
Distance is calculated using GPS coordinates as you move. The app continuously tracks your position and accumulates the total distance traveled during a session.

Route Tracking

Can I see my route on a map?
Yes! Odo displays your route in real-time on the built-in map. After completing a session, you can review the full route with speed data along the path.
Can I save my trips?
Trip data is saved locally on your device. You can review past sessions including route, distance, duration, and speed statistics from the trip history.
Does GPS tracking drain my battery?
Odo is optimized for battery efficiency. GPS is only active during tracking sessions. Stop tracking when you're done to conserve battery.

Data & Privacy

Does Odo collect any personal data?
Your speed, routes and trip history never leave your Apple ecosystem: they stay on your device and in your own iCloud, and we never receive them. Your location leaves your phone only when you ask for directions, or while you are in a Convoy you joined, where only its members see it and it is deleted when the convoy ends. The app does count installs, app opens and screen views anonymously with Google Analytics for Firebase, which never sees location or trip data. The only personal data we store is the profile you create if you opt into the Friends feature (a display name, a username, an optional photo and daily driving totals) and, while a convoy runs, its members' latest positions. Our privacy policy lists every connection the app makes.
Does Odo show ads?
No. Odo contains zero ads — no banners, no interstitials, no sponsored content, no tracking pixels. Ever.
Does Odo track me or sell my data?
No. We do not track you across apps, profile you, or sell any information to anyone. There is no advertising identifier and no ad network in the app. Anonymous usage counts through Google Analytics for Firebase are the only analytics, and they cannot be tied to you.
Where is my data stored?
Your data stays on your device and syncs privately across your iPhone, iPad, and Mac via iCloud. Odo does not transmit your speed or trip data to any third-party server, and sends your location only to plan a route you ask for (Apple, or Mapbox where Apple has no directions) or to show it to a convoy you joined — iCloud sync uses your personal Apple ID and Apple's own infrastructure.
Does my data sync across my devices?
Yes. Odo uses iCloud sync so your trips, routes, fuel logs, maintenance records, and settings stay up to date across all your Apple devices signed in to the same Apple ID. You can disable iCloud sync anytime in the app settings.
Can I export my trip data?
Yes. You can export individual trips or your full history as GPX files or PDF reports directly from the app.

Troubleshooting

Speed shows 0 even while moving
Make sure location permissions are set to 'While Using the App' with 'Precise Location' enabled. Also check that you're in an area with good GPS signal — indoors or surrounded by tall buildings can weaken GPS accuracy.
GPS signal is weak or unavailable
Move to an open area with clear sky for best GPS reception. Avoid tunnels, underground areas, and dense building clusters. It may take a few seconds for GPS to lock on when you first start tracking.
Location permission was denied
Go to Settings > Privacy & Security > Location Services > Odo and select 'While Using the App'. Make sure Location Services is enabled system-wide.
