Introducing you to Vlogoscope. An iPhone-based app lets you separate your camera screen and use Google Maps simultaneously. Our app works perfectly for vloggers who love to record videos and tell stories about sights, cities, routes, etc.

Hey IndieHackers community 👋 I'm Dan Zaitsev, a digital nomad, and maker from Ukraine 🇺🇦 I built and launched an iPhone app that allows users to record videos and use Google Maps simultaneously. Check my first comment to learn more ↙️

I think it would be better if it was a monthly subscription with a free trial. The 1.99 price tag might create a wall between those just on the cusp of buying it.
The other option is to have a free version, but offer a paid version that lets you record video for longer, with a limit on the free version.
Overall, I think this would be very useful for iphone. Have you considered releasing it for android? Though I think such a functionality for android already exists.
Btw, I would also have a video showcasing the app on the app store. The first image is just a black background as well FYI.
Hi again!
I recently started recording my travel vlog, and I realized that it is so tough to switch between cameras and different applications.
I've built a new iOS app that allows users to separate iPhone camera screens and use Google Maps simultaneously. Also, we use Google SDK/API to get data about different places, sights, routes, etc., so you can tell about them on the go.
To validate PoC/MVO quickly, I used Google SDK and the webview, so users have the same UX as on default Google Maps. Sure, I'm a fan of native user experience, and if this concert survives, I will integrate native SDK and improve UX and maybe add an Augmented Reality experience.
In terms of monetization, I used a one-time payment model of $1.99 per download. Your support and feedback are highly appreciated
Thank you!
