Payver Dashcam - Get paid to drive

Interesting concept, but there's not a lot of transparency about what the app actually does and what the company does with the data. According to one comment I saw online, driving about 400 miles would reward you with a $10 through Paypal or Amazon gift card.

Has anyone actually done this? 

Seems like a dashcam would do the job as well?
Always wanted to buy a dashcam! now it seems I can buy one and get a refund over time through paypal gc.

It seems like phone only right now, which is the only thing stopping me from signing up.

Seems like you upload the video over wifi at a latter time, you can technically buy a cheap phone and use for a dashcam! (just very distracting to have a phone always sitting on my dashboard.)

IIUC it's the default setting to upload via WiFi, but it might need internet to function.

+1 on the bulkiness, but on the other hand there are people that always keep there phone on the dashboard.

What I don't understand is whether or not it's recording in the foreground the whole time or only at specific points, and otherwise relegated to the background. IOW can I use my phone as a GPS while this is running or will it take over?

It probably takes less than 5 minutes to test it out and find your answer
