    By why change when not broken....
    Spent a ridiculous amount of time, going through every variation possible. Naturally, starting with the instructions, and it will not pair. While the old app for the Escort Passport Max 2 wasn’t great, it wasn’t horrible. What a waste.

    Been troubleshooting my new cobra radar with this app and it will not “fully connect” when adding the device through the app it does find my radar but then it goes to a continuous spinning wheel. You force close the app and it doesn’t save the device. Repeat the process and get the same result. After troubleshooting with tech support several times I got a response back saying “We've become aware of an issue with connectivity between the iPhones and RAD700i detectors. We're working on a resolution and hope to have a fix soon. Please keep an eye out for an update to the Drive Smarter app.” Patiently waiting the update to hopefully give a better review. ***update*** App has been updated and problem is solved. App works great with my radar. I love that I can choose to mute, lock, and unlock alerts from my Apple CarPlay

    I thought it was me but I was glad to see the other review saying the same the thing!! It would be nice to have the speed back on the radar as well. The update messed up a few things, on CarPlay it keeps saying I need to login again every time on my phone whereas before it would just automatically pop up.

    Still haft to use I radar because drive smarter doesn’t work every time I call cobra they just say we don’t have a ETA time on the fix so if you plan on buying a i700 and you own an iPhone I would not suggest it unless you want to deal with looking down at your phone every time you want to look at your map because cobra will just tell you basically you gps is not working because of their issue apple CarPlay on this app not been working for about 2 weeks now and still not working wish I didn’t even haft to give them a 1 star on this review

    Last two updates stopped CarPlay from working correctly. Whenever I turn on my car, this app asks me to login before displaying anything. I have to open the app on my phone, close the app, and then open the CarPlay one again for it to work properly. Hope this is fixed soon!
