  • Why does it take so long?

    Why does your app take over 20 min to download? Also, you buy a product and can’t connect via an app? You state it is a known issue, then fix it
  • Keeps Dropping

    I DO NOT LIKE THIS APP. I really don’t need six “map” apps on my iPhone all vying for my attention in the car with each one believing it’s the best. If I’m going to use an app to navigate while driving, Drive Smarter IS NOT going to be my first, second or even third choice. Bring back the basic dashboard of the Live app for those of us who spent a ton of money on an Escort only to be forced into ditching Live for this mess. Be aware if you’re transitioning from the Live app to this one, that you can’t have both apps running simultaneously as your detector will favor one over the other and you may not see your device settings when you go looking for them. Had to quit both, then relaunched Drive Smarter and was finally able to find the settings for my detector.
  • Only for newer detectors

    Such a disappointment and scam in my opinion. The have discounted escort live and all support and firmware updates for older detectors. In my opinion to force you to buy newer $500+ dollar detector to have pairing and alerts through app. Lame escort. Will not be buying anymore of your products. You could have at least left escort live working.

    The app works well overall but with some updates and especially the last one, it is absolutely draining the hell out of my battery. Fix this!!!!!!! I had to delete the app for now, not a great look!

    The app is fairly simple to use but has one annoying flaw. I don’t know how the app comes up with posted speed limits at times and loves to tell me I’m driving too fast. The actual posted speed limit could be 50mph but app comes up with stuff like 22mph or 13mph and voice won’t shut up.

    App was updated today 12/04, however no option was added for a custom notification sound. Really need this feature. Additionally, in iOS 26.2 when you open the app and you have music playing it stops and wont reconnect unless you close this app. I was hoping this issue would be fixed with this update.

    I’ve had this dash camera and app for 2 years now and it has been the most frustrating experience. The camera won’t always turn on when I start my car and I notice halfway through my commute. The app and camera never want to connect so I can’t look at any videos or photos without messing with it for awhile. I’ve gotten it to connect a few times but it’s few and far between. I’ve completely given up with the app and camera and have decided to look for a new one.
  • The worst app ever

    Can never get signed onto this app, nor will it ever work for the setup I have.
  • Won’t connect

    Forced to update to this app from IRadar and now I can’t connect to my radar detector at all if I was within the return period I would. Waste of time and money
