Escort Live Radar

Update: developers have worked out a lot of the bugs, it now works pretty seemlessly with the detector. Still needs some improvement but I feel like in getting my money's worth now. Just went through a speed trap and this warned me way before was did and I knew they were still there due to live laser and live KA. Worth every penny I spent ! Terribly buggy. I haven't updated my firmware yet but my app crashed about 30 times going from Arizona to California. The app did function and had a decent amount of crowd sourced data including a laser alert from crowd source which is awesome. If working smoothly I would give 5 stars.

In my previous review I was very critical of this app (rightfully so, mind you) but since they actually have been updating the App my opinion has changed. It works for most roads and consistently connects with the radar detector. I have updated to Oreo on my OnePlus 3T so I will update in a few days.

This app crashes on every radar detect. Can't use it anymore! Please fix! A year ago this app worked great and nothing has changed on my end. If it doesn't crash every second it would be awesome ...

Everytime My screen goes off so does the radar detector I don't know what the issue is I have it set to show in the background or to keep running in the background maybe I haven't figured out the settings. Other than that it's great, it's saved me a couple times already!

Good APP that will keep you informed and help reduce traffic tickets. It's not full-proof, but it does help and gives you some sense of security. In other words, it's better than nothing.

This app is an absolute turd. Maybe the worst app I have ever had or used. I've never seen an app crash, not work or have zero tech support in all my life. It's 2018 Escort. Pay some money to get talented app programmers and designers.

WAZE is more reliable. I used to be fairly happy with this, but it's become useless. Nearly impossible to connect via Bluetooth, and if it does it disconnects. It's not safe to be driving and trying to get the app to connect to the detector over and over again.

It importantly misses the reflection of the detector console with it up/down arrows for direction, different tones for radar types and Geiger counter audio for proximity. While this is critical for a motorcycle and audio Bluetooth into the helmet, it's also useful for the car where you can give a richer ui on a phone rather than a smaller and more distant detector front. The escort live web service is sometimes down, which keeps the app from working at all. Disappointed.

When the app is running, it does alert to Radar and other items. However the app crashes constantly, sometimes right after an alert. Very frustrating. Also database out of date. Speed limits are wrong for some roads even after updating software.

Why are we stuck with North up on the map? We should be able to unlock or adjust this in the settings (like most other maps, e.g. Wade, Google Maps, etc).

Good idea and does everything it claims to do, but is fatally flawed due to multiple bugs and frequent crashes. The app is very unreliable and unpredictable crashes presents distractions while driving. Will not be using this app until Escort makes some improvements.

The application is subject to mobile blockers the police use to crash the advanced real time updates. It's frustrating to reload software each time.

UPDATE FEB2018: Still using this app everyday. The app still has a issue using the GPS(it stops using it regularly). Now have a Samsung Galaxy Note 8, guess what, the same stupid faults are still present. FIX THE CRASHING ISSUES, PLEASE. UPDATE DEC2017: Still use the app everyday. The app still has a issue using the GPS(it stops using it regularly). However, it saves the stationary signals, and reports the New ones. UPDATE JUN2017:I use this app all the time. Galaxy Note 5 / 64MB version. I am not certain what happened since the app update, Bluetooth is now a pain to connect and GPS on this is usually not staying connected. This app crashed like a drunk 13 year old. A night time mode would greatly be appreciated. Making this run as a background app would be awesome, I use GPS and you miss emergency visual instructions from Waze when away from the display. Other GPS and Bluetooth apps are good on this phone. You can independently set alerts levels, and this is nice. The traffic feature could use a bolder mapping. All in all a great app to run if you wish to avoid speeding tickets/accidents.

Great app -- get accurate alerts prior to radar detector going off. Only suggestion - make app a little "easier" to use (Bluetooth connecting, where car is on the map), I am not a tech person. Otherwise, great app.

Crashes a lot. Especially when ran in the back ground or when reporting radar. It needs to be able to function alongside waze

This is an awesome app which does a lot of things behind the scenes. (aggregate and filter multiple sources of data to bring users useful meaningful information.) It also integrates with almost all modern escort Bluetooth enabled radar detectors. I lose gps connection with my radar detector when I lock my phone/click the power button to turn off the screen. Love the dashboard wiith the "night mode" and color options. I wish the map colors could change during night hours too just like the dashboard does. I've had a wierd problem lately where my radar dectector had all of the bands turned off, essentially making the radar dectector useless. Every time I connect the app with my detector, I have to check that laser, K, Ka, and the alert zones are enabled. Don't know if it's an issue with the detector forgetting the settings (but all the other settings don't change) or if everytime I connect the app with the max 360, if the app over-rights the detector settings switching the bands off?

I had to lower my review from five stars to three, because now I can't log in. Is it not compatible with Android 8.0? It worked before 8 updated Android to 8.0. Please fix the app, so 8 can use it.

Not very user friendly. Could be a better UI for those who aren't tech savvy. Took me a while to figure it out and I'm pretty savvy.

App is solid. UI is dated, it shows alerts about radar locations. I wish it would automatically connect when my RD turned on instead of having to open it and pair every time I get in my car. I would also like it if it would communicate warnings better. It will say there is a Ka alert in 1000ft but that number never changes until it disappears. I'm going 70mph I'm not calculating distance. Also not a fan of the app icon; it should follow material guidelines. I wanted to use a bit before reviewing, but was reminded to review the app every time I opened it, highly annoying to the point I almost deducted stars or refused to review at all it of spite. Escort: you guys need to act less desperate.

Does not connect and show speed have to keep uninstall and re install app each time I use it

App still crashes mid use, great idea. Still got it's kinks though.

The app along with the radar detector work great the first two times now every morning that I need it that app will not connect to the servers. Not really doing any good at this point

Please make the UI more modern. This isn't android 3.0 anymore. Also make it so it displays Kph under your current speed... Some of your users don't live in the United States. Even though I know the speed it's displaying is in Kph, 8t drives me nuts that it says Mph.

Crashes constantly now I have an error 500 cold that won't allow me to connect what next?

Wont connect to my 9500ix and Note8. so clunky to use. Wish is just integrated with Waze or even was a Google maps overlay as it's usefulness is limited to database alerts only as I've never seen anyone else use it on their phone besides me.

After about two months they finally released a patch that fixed the constant crashing.

Http error: code 500 when I try to log in. Used to work before I updated. Now my $500 detector doesn't have half its features.

Only thing im having problems with is it not showing speed on detector anymore and if I have app open in background it disconnects from bluetooth

My X80 won't stay connected. GPS does not work any more. All I have ever had was problem with this X80 detector POS

cant log on keeps telling me I have an error 500 problem could you please advise me on how to fix this problem I cant give a good or bad review till this is fixed

App server is down frequently. Will not send posted speed, or audio to detector if running in background on Android (backlight off to conserve cell battery life)(That's the deal breaker) Useless app for me in this condition. Will not be purchasing subscription after my year trial is up unless this is fixed.

works good for us, alerts us when cops are around and other emergency vehicles, but crashes when in a dead zone. but other wise works good.

I didn't know that you had to pay the full befits of the app when I bought the radar detector it sucks

GPS does not work. Paid $49 for it, I'll have to get a refund. This app is poorly coded. Very poorly.

I like the app and all the features it provides for the radar detector. I do have issues initially connecting to the radar though. Many times when I initially open and connect the app, it connects to the radar and you'll see the Bluetooth symbol appear on the radar display but it will never show the speed limit until I close and kill the app and reopen a second time. Not sure why this happens but 9 times out of 10 I have to launch the app, connect to radar, kill app and close it, then reopen and connect a second time for everything to be 100% functional. It gets quite annoying after awhile but you kinda get used to it. I just recently got the new Redline EX and previously had the original Redline and they're both prone to this issue. Another issue I've noticed a lot is right after I get a KA-Band alert where it automatically reports it, the app will crash immediately following the reporting function and I'll then need to reload it. Otherwise once the app is properly connected and running, it works really well when it's not crashing! It's definitely still worth the headaches for now because there's so many features and alerts that have saved me in the past but Escort really needs to get their act together and fix the bugs in this app.

Until this last update it was crashing constantly. So far it has only crashed once.

Constantly loses connection. Often won't start. Need GPS navigation or integration with navigation app.

I had this app on my Iphone 7 plus and it worked fine. I just got a Note8 an it won't Connect to my escort Max 360. Would love to see it working.

Won't even connect. Keeps throwing up error code 500.

App is definitely a good tool. It crashes EVERY TIME I exit it via my phone. I am currently a subscriber to the service and spent a great deal of money on the Escort-Max360. Have mine hardwired To my rear view and love it. I am curious how many people near me though, subscribe to the service. After all, the "Live" service is based off people's reports. For the money, deffinately should be an app that is updated quite offen to become more accurate and user feiendly. Will change my rating pending updates
