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. ### 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. ### 2/5 — Works as advertised but maps are quite limited. *2018-02-07, version 2.73* Bought this to prevent speeding tickets in those 25 mph speed zones, however the roads that have these speed limits are not recognized by this app. These aren’t dirt roads, but rather pretty well travelled roads that are not recognized. Disappointing and feel a bit deceived. ### 3/5 — Needs to be update *2018-01-30, version 2.73* Speed limits need to be updated in East Texas and surrounding areas. ### 3/5 — Works well, but too loud *2017-09-17, version 2.66* This seems to work quite well identifying speed limits and noting my speed. But it needs an internal volume adjustment. If I am listening to a podcast while driving, this app is WAY louder so it blasts my ears out every time the speed limit changes. Forced me to turn off the announcements, but I would like to have that on. ### 1/5 — Not worth the cost *2017-06-30, version 2.66* Don't buy the limit is based on user imput not actual speed. Just slow down ### 4/5 — Happy with App, but... *2017-03-23, version 2.57* I like this app. I need all the help I can get to avoid speeding tickets. I like that it is designed to run in the background behind Google or Apple Maps. I like the Banner notifications of new speed limits. I like the Smart Beeps to notify me I am speeding, but I can't always hear them. It would be very nice if there was an additional visual notification when I am speeding, like the speed change notifications that drop down in front of my navigation apps. That would make it perfect! ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2017-01-04, version 2.57* The app does not seem to work most streets in the Raleigh North Carolina area come up as not having a speed limit posted and I do not get any of the sound alerts that I have set for speed limit changes and over 5 miles an hour really disappointed sorry I spent the money ### 2/5 — Still need fixing *2016-10-06, version 2.55* Why do I spend money to buy this app and it still not working right? Telling me the wrong speed limit at times and take long to pick up speed limit when I change road. Also we in 2016 that splash screen need to go and update the app to a better design man, you been having that design from this app was birth. Time for changes!!!!! ### 1/5 — NagNagNag *2016-08-15, version 2.42* Constant nagging to upgrade, got sick of it I and deleted it. ### 1/5 — It's not free *2016-08-14, version 2.42* This app is not free. 👋🏻 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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! ### 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! ### 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 ### 1/5 — Speed Limits Not Accurate *2018-02-13, version 2.73* Unlike Waze and other apps that provide actual speed limits, this app infers what it thinks the speed limit should be. Often incorrectly. ### 1/5 — Overpass roads *2018-01-09, version 2.73* When you go overpass roads the told you wrong speed from the road you overpass also sometimes told you the speed limit and the speed is lowest or higher or the speed the app told you, need some special updates 😣😣😣😣😣 ### 1/5 — Crap *2018-01-05, version 2.73* I already know how fast I’m going by my odometer on my car don’t need this does not give you any advice about speed traps ### 1/5 — Was great now it doesn’t pick up *2017-12-26, version 2.66* When I first purchased this app it was working great but now it is not working. It always seems to not detect current speed limit at all no matter where I am driving. I hate buying anything that doesn’t work. Please fix and upgrade **Developer response:** Sorry about the issues with the app last month. The speed limit data has been fixed and you should now see speed limits for over 90% of the roads. ### 1/5 — Poor. Not compatible with apple carplay. Audio inaudible *2017-08-11, version 2.66* Poor. Not compatible with apple CarPlay: cannot keep livespeed in FOREground with CarPlay map on car display at the same time. Audio ANNOUNCEMENTS inaudible. CANNOT ADJUST VOLUME. Takes up to 10 seconds to change speed limit. (The guy who said it's based on user input is F**ked up. It IS live.) ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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. ### 5/5 — It works! *2017-12-20, version 2.66* Just what I was looking for. Now I know the speed limit when the speed limit sign is nowhere in sight and I can set my cruise control to match. ### 5/5 — Great! *2017-05-30, version 2.66* This is exactly what I was looking for! Thank you!!!! ### 5/5 — Good app *2017-03-21, version 2.57* U should include an ability to manual stop. It works even when I have shifted to a public transport after parking my car. ### 5/5 — Works great *2016-11-06, version 2.56* Got to use your app today. It works very well. It would definitely keep me from getting a ticket. If I can remember to use it. ### 5/5 — So useful on long trips *2016-10-07, version 2.55* More than once I wondered why google maps doesn't include a feature like this. This runs on the background along side apple maps and makes my phone my personal navigator. ### 5/5 — Better than having a radar detector *2016-08-10, version 2.42* In states like Virginia where radar detectors are illegal or in other places where speeding fines are a source of income for local governments, this app is a life saver. ### 5/5 — Great idea and execution *2016-08-06, version 2.40* What's nice about this app is that I don't need to input the speed limits at each road manually. Was accurate 90% of a 200 mile drive ### 5/5 — Super *2016-06-20, version 2.40* My husband has a "lead foot", and it reminds him how fast he is driving. Works in the background Works on a lot of county roads., also --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
