  • So…what does this do?

    I loaded this App because I have the Escort Live App and Drive Smarter is supposed to “enhance” the performance of Escort Live. From my view it is a terrible addition. I plan on deleting it from my system. The sound level is not adjustable, at least not as far as I can see. I already have a dash cam and 2 GPS maps available in my car so those features are unnecessary. As far as I can tell, this is a great app IF you have no dash cam, no GPS, no radar detector then this might be what you need. Otherwise you don’t need this waste of space.
  • Missing about 50 to 60% of speed limits on the roads I travel

    The main purpose of this app, in my opinion, is to connect with the radar detectors and monitor speed. Unfortunately, this app is missing 50 to 60% of the speed limits on the roads I travel and I am not seeing an easy way to add speed limit as I can in other apps such as Waze. I tried contacting customer support, I think that was three or four weeks ago; no reply as of yet. I’m just a tad disappointed
  • Missing the dashboard screen of Live

    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. I miss the dashboard screen of the Live app because I really don’t need six “map” apps all vying for my attention in the car.

    I guess speed limits are either dashes or incorrect. Even when driving on the same street, it will go dashes many times for no reason. UPDATE IT
  • Glitchy

    The app itself is incredibly glitchy. There are all sorts of difficulties connecting with it, and although escort radar is happy to provide advice, the problem is the app itself. The developer doesn’t seem to understand what the app is supposed to do, it doesn’t give you all the information you need regarding speed limits etc., when looking at the map it turns 90° to the direction of travel when the vehicle is Stopped, and just needs considerably further development before it is released to the public.

    I have a cobra rad 380 and it doesn’t connect at all. It still works great, but I have tried all the possible options to connect, and it still wont connect to my phone or anyone’s phone.
  • Great app but some flaws

    It’s a great app and I think more people should use it. However there is an issue with the speed limit pairing. Most of the time it gives dashes not knowing what the speed limit is. It works on the freeway and some weird back roads but other than that just dashes. But other than that it’s a great and reliable app.

    Honestly I like the app. Other than it doesn’t always show the correct speed limits. Which is minor to me. The big issue. Is that active radar alerts repeatedly alert every few seconds. Let us acknowledge it. And make it be silent. I don’t need 3-5 minutes of over and over obnoxious alerts. Or as an alternative. Give the option to have visual alerts in the app with no sound. Not just on or off completely.
