Would have given 5 stars until it tried to force permissions to allow the recording of the camera and microphone at all times instead of only when the App is running. I was using it with great joy for about a week. Then I hopped in the car and turned it on like normal and it said it would not work without giving the app full time access to my microphone and camera. I immediately uninstalled it. I am super glad I didn't purchase it as I was going to just to support such a lovely app.

Why do you need phone and contact permissions to make this app run?
I've been using the free version for about six months now. Overall I've been pretty pleased with it. All of the sudden today I get a pop-up that says "AutoBoy BlackBox needs permission to make and manage phone calls" or it won't work. I don't thinks so Sunshine. Buh-bye.
How do I turn off auto record on startup/bootup of phone? Very annoying. Imagine if I had it set up to detect a collision and then automatically call or send emergency help 30 seconds or a minute later? They'd be coming to my house while I was sitting there in my living room eating cheetos and randomly walking around my apartment. This option makes no sense and could potentially be life threatening to someone else in actual need of ems.
Love this app, I've used it for years.
Great app and very responsive developer. Thanks!
I really like using this app is very accurate on gps and i always record when driving. I give 3 Star because when i tried to set up YouTube Google tells me this autoboy its not veryfy yet . Does anyone is using YouTube already and can give feedback please.
