Harassed by ex
This BlackVue user (who prefers to stay anonymous) sent us the footage that helped her resolve a months-long case. She was suspecting her ex-husband of harassing her by throwing things at her car for 8 months. She even reported this to police, but they couldn’t do anything as there was no actual evidence of the crime.
Caught in the act

The BlackVue App for iOS and Android is bringing significant improvements via its April 1 update. And no, it’s not a joke.
Beside the usual stability improvements and bug fixes, the new update is featuring three major changes.
Let’s review those changes below.
Mapbox replaces Google Maps
The open-source Mapbox is replacing Google Maps for all mapping features of the BlackVue App. Granted, for most users, this won’t actually change the experience and users don’t have to do anything.
