Escort Live Radar 4+

Let me say that the overall design of this app is wonderful! It feels like it is finally modern. With that said, things were overlooked and seriously need to get fixed. Among some other negative feedback and what I have experienced, here are some flaws. The voice notifications are broken. I don’t think I’ve been hearing them much, if at all. The overspeed limit voice notification is the only one I’m positive works and even that is completely broken and seems to disregard my programmed setting of it to only go off over 100mph. Another issue with the design, the top bar is able to be pulled down by touching the green area to see radar status. I have no idea what the bottom area that appears the same “pulls up” to, if it does anything. On an iPhone X and later, you can’t pull from that part of the screen without closing the app. Either this was a hideous oversight, or a slight error in graphic design, I don’t know. It just needs to be fixed. With these issues and some of the other issues others have mentioned, this application would be a fantastic go-to! I really like what you were working on, Escort. You just released it before giving it to quality control. Can’t wait for the future update.

Escort has paid for itself many times over. Yes, the price is on the high side, but you get what you pay for. If you’re looking to spend $100 on a radar detector, then be prepared for so many false positives that you’ll ignore the real alert and wind up with a ticket. I know, I’ve been there. When my husband bought me the top of the line Escort two Christmas’ ago, I wanted to kill him because of how much he spent. Then, I wasn’t paying attention, listening to my music, and the Escort yelled at me. Holy crap, I was exceeding the speed limit by more than a little bit! I hit my brakes, brought my speed down and cruised by the police officer without so much as a glance my direction. Estimated savings: $350 plus time and effort not including insurance adjustments. Okay, I didn’t want to kill my husband anymore. Then, it happened again, and again, and again. Have I gotten a ticket since owning my escort? Yes, but only because I didn’t have my escort with me.

My device, Escort Max 360c by itself is awesome, but add Live Service and its even better. WiFi option is hit and miss as a lot of times the device doesn’t pick up on new firmware or database updates. The app is cool, overall not bad but it needs improvements. My biggest issue is Bluetooth not connecting or disconnecting for no reason what so ever. Another issue is the vehicle speed display which shows 10mph faster then what the device itself shows. The device I have been able to confirm is actually 1 mph faster then actual speed…Not bad and not worth complaining about. As far as the app, displayed vehicle speed needs to be fixed as do WiFi and Bluetooth. I also think user options for the app display / colors / map / etc should be expanded so the user can “customize” the displays etc. Navigation either integrated into the app or the ability to apply the app to a navigation source such as Apple Maps or google maps wouldn’t be asking too much considering the cost of the device and Live services subscription. Making the app CarPlay / Sync compatible and being able to connect and have full app video / audio / settings etc to in vehicle touch screen via usb would be another great idea
