## What is Live speed limit alerts?

Real time voice alerts based on "actual" speed limits. Unlike other apps, speed limits are automatically updated for your location. See the intro video on our website - https://inchwest.com/livespeed

You get voice alert notifications when the speed limit on your route changes. If you exceed the speed limit, you are presented with audible beeps (or spoken speed notifications). Police traps, cop cars and cameras are everywhere these days - LiveSpeed helps in avoiding expensive speeding tickets and traffic violations.

The app is designed to run in the background (speech and audible alerts) so that you can use other navigation or music apps in the foreground. It also pauses automatically when it detects you are stationary to conserve battery.

Radar detectors don't work most of the time and are illegal in many areas and apps like Waze are mostly ineffective in areas with less than heavy traffic. So let LiveSpeed help you on your road trips without any worry about accidental speeding. 

Note: 
1. Speed limits may not be available for all areas (especially for smaller/inner roads)
2. Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.

## Key features

### 1/5 — Don’t waste your money on this app

*2020-02-13, version 2.73*

Like the title says don’t waste your money purchasing this app, total junk.

### 1/5 — Not updated to all cities

*2019-11-29, version 2.73*

I live in a major city and this app doesn’t have any information on any local speed limits, not even the interstates.  And there is NO way to find out if it works in your area until AFTER you waste your money on it.  There is no way for app users to update it, and app support doesn’t seem to have any interest in addressing any questions or issues 

Don’t waste your time and money!

### 2/5 — Podria mejorar, Can be much better that what is now.

*2019-04-14, version 2.73*

La aplicación es limitada cuando habla ejemplo: solo dice”cincuenta y uno (51)” si la velocidad es de 50. La voz y el sonido están en el mismo plano de audio y cuando tocas una música de tu iphone. Debería bajar un poco el volumen de música en el momento del aviso para que se escuche la voz. Cuando no se toca audio en tu radio el aviso sale por la bocina de tu iphone. Ojo debe de tener el botón de silenciar apagado.  
   En relación al beep de exceso de velocidad esta aceptable. Pero debería tener volumen ajustable. En relación a velocidad. Me avisa cuando mi carro esta por los 53mph en zona de 50. Es aceptable en ese aspecto. La presentación gráfica necesita mas pulido o dar opciones de skins para que uni escoja o le añada una customizada. También que se pueda modificar los tamaños de los números y que se pueda añadir o quitar funciones visuales. 

   En cuanto al aviso de voz. Debería ser un poco mas expresivo de forma opcional. Que te diga. Exceso de velocidad y el numero de velocidad excedido.  

Hay otras apps que pueden dar ideas de una buena configuración visual para que la aplicación no se vea como si fuera un beta. 

  This app needs to be polished to have a better screen layout and the voice is very limited. Need to have more audio options. Also skins can be added and customized.

### 4/5 — Threshold buffer update needed

*2019-01-04, version 2.73*

I liked the threshold buffer better when I could set a percentage. The current mph threshold setting would also be ok if it had more increments. +5 is not enough and +10 will get you ticketed.

### 1/5 — Not accurate

*2018-08-03, version 2.73*

Sorry guys not accurate..needed to be more accurate for job cant be trusted over the road😫

### 1/5 — Don’t buy

*2018-06-08, version 2.73*

Worthless!

### 3/5 — Accurate only half the time.

*2018-05-18, version 2.73*

It seems to be only accurate half the time. Usually it seems to be just a little off by about 5 miles over or under the speed limit. But in some instances it will tell you the speed limit is 70 miles an hour on a 45 mile an hour road. Could be dangerous. I am going to uninstall this app.

### 5/5 — Awesome!

*2018-04-24, version 2.73*

I’ve been looking for something that offers speed trackers, gps, and notifications all at once! No need to keep an eye out for the cops.

### 5/5 — Works Perfectly

*2018-04-24, version 2.73*

This app is useful for staying safe on the road. It switches speed limits accurately and does everything exactly as expected. The speeding notifications only occur if you are actually speeding, and the app’s data is well-maintained.

### 1/5 — Live speed

*2018-02-27, version 2.73*

Used to work well about a year ago but lately speeds limits have been 5 to 10 miles off sometimes more never seems to know the speed limit of my area although my GPS knows the speed limit of every street I ever go down even ones under construction don’t know where they’re getting their information from but it is very in accurate don’t waste your time buying this app
