Good but not great
The app has come a long way in the last year that I’ve owned the Escort Redline 360c and the M2 camera. I do like that it actually shows alerts on my Kenwood screen now like it was originally advertised after the app update. The maps still aren’t great, I think a satellite view like other apps would help the look and feel on the screen a ton! The most frustrating part has been the hotspot connection. My personal phone is AT&T & my work phone is Verizon. A year later and this issue still hasn’t been resolved. Are you even trying? There’s a lot left on the table that I can’t use because of this. If these few issues get corrected, I will change my review to 5 stars immediately!

Horrible Speed Limit Database
Displayed speed limit is wrong 85% of the time, even on state highways. Anything below a state highway road level is wrong virtually 100% of the time. It is like they bought a database from 1992. Come on folks. Speed limits should be accurate 99% of the time nationwide, like every other major mapping app on the planet. Good grief.

Perfect app
Perfect
Terrible Connectivity
Terrible WiFi connection. Can never connect to my SC 400 Cobra to view and download videos. I captured a moment that I needed to keep for proof of harassment and what do you know. The app will not allow me to connect to the dash cam to view/download videos. I can’t even update the firmware because I can’t connect!! I tried to reset, remove device, delete and redownload app and nothing!! I spent 2 hours trying to fix it. I’ve had issues with this camera before and the moment I need it the most I’m left with nothing. Now my data is lost. DO NOT BUY DASH CAMS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS APP!!!!!!

Horrible
Won’t let me log in or reset. Pull down fields don’t work. Why did they get rid of the original app???
Weird issues
Had issues with the app specifically in CarPlay. It was lowering the volume of my radio for no reason. It didn’t stop until I deleted the app. It was acting like the app wanted to give a notification but never did.
No speed limits
The app stop showing the current speed limits unless is running on the foreground all the time. The instant another app start running the speed limits stop showing. This app is getting worse than it already was.
Cluncky but adequate
The app is clunky and slow, thigh that may be the Cobra sc 100 I’m using it with. It would be nice if I could select multiple pictures/videos and download them in bulk, instead of one at a time. It would also be nice if the CarPlay app had a snap picture button in it, so I don’t have to use the app on my phone, while driving. The camera can’t hear me, for some reason, and I’m not always sure hitting the button, on the camera works.

No landscape mode and a tonne of false K band alerts
This company doesn’t care about Australia and New Zealand market, we are absolutely irrelevant to them, they are showing total disregard for our market. Many emails have been sent. Many requests have been made and the firmware has not been updated, flooding false K Band noise
Trash
This is by far the worse app I’ve ever used. Good luck trying to get this to connect and stay connected to your dash cam. It is terrible. I regret purchasing 2 dash cam for my cars because of this app.
1 Thing
The automatic Day/Night mode in the app settings doesn’t work, it’s just always in day time (light) mode. Everything else seems to work just fine
iPhone Battery Killer
Sometime in the past few months the Drive Smarter app has become a huge battery drain, persistently active in the background, consistently in my top 3 apps by battery usage. Even on the days I don't drive (or connect to my Escort Max 360c) the Drive Smarter app eats through my battery in the background. For example, today I drove 6 miles in my vehicle for 15 minutes. I used 149% of my battery and the Drive Smarter app consumed 15% while on the screen for 1 minute and in the background for 15h 17m. I’m going to disable Background App Refresh, but shouldn’t be so much of a loss of capability now that the app no longer syncs the posted speed limit on my radar detector for most roads now.

Missing feature
Had been using the discontinued Escort app, which had a “dashboard” feature, displaying speed and speed limit, without the map. Would be nice to have that in this app. I already have 2 maps displayed with Apple CarPlay and vehicle’s map. A 3rd isn’t necessary. I’m using the Redline 360C radar detector. Thanks

Local road speed limits missing
Unlike Apple Maps and Google Maps. This app doesn’t have the speed limits for the Local and County Roads. Only the highway. I didn’t think the app could be worse than the old Escort Life App. But. It is. You should work with Apple and Google to integrate with their apps. Also sort reviews by most recent reviews. Majority of the most recent reviews are horrible. Epic Fail.

App is garbage
I’ve had the Cobra SC201 for several years now and have had constant issues with the app syncing with the camera. After updates things were a little better but would get worse over time. My new camera, Vanture N4 Pro arrives in 2 days and I’m done with this app and that camera.
Max360 Wont Connect
Application will not connect to my Radar detector. Radar detector is on the latest firmware. I just had this Radar detector refurbished by Escort within the last year and a half and now I can’t change any of the settings on the Radar detector. The radar detector will directly connect to My Phone’s Bluetooth, but the application will not recognize the device when scanning I’ve tried multiple devices and it will not work.

Junk fake warning 99%
That’s the worst system created radar supposed to scan for police radar and Mark not the app sending information to radar. There’s a cop when there’s no cop in the radar gives me a warning the biggest scam 99% of fake warnings :(( radar doesn’t it’s not doing job:( radar doing what the app tells what is there’s a police there’s no police 99% There’s a no police :(( the app Should not send the information to radar to give me a warning there’s a police, the second where in the world you find traffic lights on the freeway that’s the dumb stupid again. The app comes with rider there’s a traffic light on in the middle of the freeway and third about 1/4 miles time at the time gives me warning like 15-30 miles speed limit.:((
Junk app and radar :(

Чепуха
Приложение абсолютно не вменяемая и показывает постоянно чушь то чего нет на самом деле из 10 заявленных радарах может быть ни одного а часто там где стоит коп ни радар не видит ни в приложении не стоит отметки
Directions option
Does not seem to be able to switch from portrait to landscape modes. That is an important feature that appears to be missing. If it’s there, then tell me how to do it.. also, how do you make your travel always pointing up in the app?
