  • App is Trash

    $400+ dash cam displays crisp 4K video. Drive Smarter app should be usable. Unable to join Gallery/Live View. Worked well enough for a while but will barely connect to device and has not joined Gallery/Live View in months.
  • Should be free

    I spent $500 on a detector I would think that would come with the app. Instead I have to pay for premium version
  • Garbage

    Not intuitive, no description of what the icons mean, and you cant face map in travel direction. The whole point is to use this on trips so the travel direction is a deal breaker. Who designed this? Do they even use a phone or drive a car???
  • Great idea. Terrible execution

    If you like hitting “not there” 4-7 times per police spotted report for the exact say report, than this app is for you. If you prefer not to do that just don’t download this as it it not ready for prime time as I think someone forgot to do any QA testing on it. Update: Even after the latest update this app is unusable. Why must I get 5-7 notifications for the exact same radar warning. Only one yet the verify button come up 5-7 times. It is like you all never bothered to test it in the real world. I suggest you all drive around with it to see how awful it is.

    This app is unable to find the device -COBRA SC 120 and when it finds it -it keeps disconnecting from WiFi. It’s constantly asking to connect to the WiFi. I cannot access the gallery. I am almost ready to just return this device and purchase another dash cam that doesn’t use this app.
  • Escort Live is Better

    The Driver Smarter app does not complete in comparison to the Escort Live app. My Drive Smart app consistently gives false radar detections and doesn’t give any update for distance like my Escort Live app did. I do not know why Escort Radar is forcing loyal customers to move to this app.
  • Ehh…not an improvement

    So the iRadar app says I need to migrate to Drive Smart. I don’t care about the Dashcam features, I just want the detector features in a dashboard format like the iRadar app has. The last thing I need is another GPS map, I have a built in vehicle unit, a standalone Garmin, Apple Maps and Google Maps. The navigation feature is a solution looking for a problem. I got the radar detector to detect radar signals not to get stuck with a navigation app. Just provide the option to have a dash or map view like the iRadar app.
  • Speed limit not updating

    It seems like the speed limit for the area I am driving in doesn’t update well with Drive Smarter or at all, but it works fine if I use the older Escort app. This seems to be the case whether using with my Redline or my Max II. Both have the latest firmware. Any app setting I am missing?
  • Great Potential, but big problems

    App has improved greatly, but isn’t quite ready to take over navigation in Car Play. For one, it crashes often, and on just the app but causes CarPlay to close in my vehicle.
