Speed Angel watches your GPS speed in real time, compares its database of road limits and alerts you — clear visual and audio warning — the moment you exceed the limit. It also shows live petrol and diesel prices near you on the map, colour-coded cheapest to dearest. Eyes on the road. Money in your pocket.
Most speeding isn't deliberate — it's what happens when your attention drifts and your speed quietly creeps up. Modern cars can feel effortless, even when you're over the limit. Speed Angel is your calm co-driver: it keeps you aware of the current speed limit, alerts you the moment you start to exceed it, and helps you stay focused, safer, and stress-free on every journey.
Speeding fines in the UK are expensive and the penalty points have many consequences. Receiving a Notice of Intended Prosecution (NIP) can be a nasty surprise. Speed Angel won't make those decisions for you — but it will help you stay aware of your speed and the limit.

Speed Angel is a GPS-based speed-limit awareness companion for Android. Using your phone's GPS, it continuously checks your current speed against the legal limit for the road you're on.
When you exceed the limit, the display turns red and a distinctive audio warning plays and is configurable to your needs — so you always know without looking at the screen.
The app works independently, and will also work alongside your navigation app, using audio ducking so the warning tone cuts through, then navigation audio returns — just like a Google Maps turn instruction.
Covers UK roads of all classes: motorways, A-roads, B-roads, residential and urban streets. No setup required — limits are detected automatically from your GPS position and heading.
Runs continuously in the background — no interaction needed while you drive.
Your phone's built-in GPS measures your speed every second with high accuracy. No hardware required — just your phone in a mount.
Speed Angel checks the legal limit for your exact road using a UK-optimised database. Heading-aware to avoid false readings from parallel roads.
If your speed exceeds the limit, the display turns red and an audio warning will alert you to slow down. You can choose the style from 'gentle reminder' to 'persistent'.
Built specifically for UK driving with accuracy and battery life as priorities.
Full-screen Mapbox map keeps your position and heading locked. Pan and zoom to explore the whole map if you want to. Tap "Hide Map" for a clean dark display.
Visual turns red and audio plays in the chosen style the moment your speed exceeds the limit displayed on the app.
Other audio such as music, Google Maps and Waze ducks away while the warning plays, then returns — no awkward overlap.
Heading-aware intelligent limit lookup makes false triggers from other nearby roads a rarity.
Adaptive polling — minimal requests when stationary or on stable roads.
One-tap correction reports inaccurate limits and updates the memory.
Purpose-built dark interface for in-car visibility — day and night.
GPS coordinates used only for limit lookup — never stored or shared.
Set the overspeed tolerance before the warning activates — tailored to how you drive.
Choose — a single gentle reminder, persistent alerts until you slow down, or Dynamic mode — the more you're over the limit, the faster the beeps.
See nearby petrol and diesel prices on the map, colour-coded cheapest to dearest — updated twice daily from the UK Government Fuel Finder.
