Does anyone use their iPhone as a Dashcam? I've seen some third party apps around, wonder how good it is in real life.

It'll easily overheat during the summer. Spend the $40 for a proper dashcam. It'll be properly mounted with adhesive so it doesn't detach during an accident.

A dashcam is inexpensive and you don't need to bother about taking it off the every time you leave your car. If you forget to take your iPhone with you, you may not find it when you are back.
I don't have any dash cam but I have used it to record when I drive though scenic route.
