Thanks for this. I used to have one about 6 years ago and thought it was pretty good. I have been too lazy to buy a new since that one died, so it is good to hear I shouldn't look at them again.

This is pretty much what happens with every company that becomes popular. Eventually they begin to exploit their popularity to take back value from their own customers.

I wouldn't ever spend money on something that requires an app, an account, or an internet connection. Fortunately my car has dashcams built in.
