App is stupidity slow to access the videos and downloading a video takes a STUPID amount of time. No effort from the developers to fix this at all! No updates in two years!!! ### 1/5 — Not happy *2021-05-24, version 1.0.3* Will not record . Will not hook with my iPhone X iPhone will not find WiFi from m1. ### 1/5 — Unwanted Purchase *2021-04-20* I read through this app and it looks likes it’s FREE . I had to use my thumb print to continue the download of this app and it said afterwards ..... thank you for your purchase ! If I did purchase anything here it was UNKNOWINGLY .... and I want it removed . I do not own the camera devise needed for this product nor do I want it . I was looking for a FREE APP . I deleted this App from my phone . ### 3/5 — App just ok. *2021-04-09, version 1.0.3* There is no way that I can figure out to display vehicle speed along with time and date stamp because the detector knows this info. ### 3/5 — Dash cam *2020-11-05, version 1.0.3* Great little camera, wish the display would show the mph your driving to support any claims of speeding or reports of misconduct. Just shows date and time..... Other than that it’s great..... ### 3/5 — Great with one exception *2020-10-17, version 1.0.3* The M1 dash cam is great, but the app needs some work. You can’t effectively export a video file properly and that is kind of the whole point of having this camera setup. Most likely can be fixed. But needs to be addressed. Other than that, all is well. ### 4/5 — Nice addition. *2020-09-19* Very nice addition to my escort max 360c, the image quality is fair and the functionality of the unit seems to be everything I expected. However, the one gripe I have about it in the few days I’ve been using the product, the mount bracket. I wish that the mount bracket for it had been integrated into the actual radar detector to keep the quick disconnect functionality of the magnetic bracket. Instead the unit attaches to the bracket bolt itself and therefore must be unplugged from the detector and disconnected separately from the bracket every time you exit the vehicle, otherwise the entire bracket has to be removed from the windshield to prevent theft. Other than that nice unit. ### 1/5 — Will not open. *2020-09-05, version 1.0.3* App instantly crashes. ### 4/5 — Turn off cell data for TMobile users *2020-07-11* Apparently the app doesn't work with T-Mobile iPhones without turning off cell data for the M1 app because T-Mobile is on an IPv6 network. This apparently affects their app somehow. Turning off cell data in your iPhone settings for the M1 app fixes the problem. The app itself could use a facelift, not a big fan of the UI but it does what it says it does. ### 1/5 — Terrible product *2020-06-16, version 1.0.3* Will not connect to phone. Worked ok for 6 months. Updated firmware after it malfunctioned. Now zero. Death spinner or app just shuts off. I have Verizon, so don’t believe it is a certain carrier. Can’t tell if camera is working or not. Junk. ### 4/5 — Very nice 1 flaw... *2020-05-19* Camera works well only thing is if u have Sprint or T-mobile u need to go to airplane mode to watch live and recorded camera footage..but camera stills records the whole time it’s on so no biggie..not like i’m gonna be driving around with live feed on...when i need to view a recording I just flip to airplane mode hit the M1 app and camera comes right up... ### 1/5 — Basic and disappointing *2020-04-08, version 1.0.3* This app is basic and worthless. Very little thought went into features and usability. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Absolutely Buggy *2025-05-16* I have to reinstall it every time I want to use it because it constantly crashes. Then it tells me I am not connect to the camera and to change my Wi-Fi settings for the camera. When I got to my Wi-Fi settings, it shows that I am connected to the Escort M1. I am stuck in a loop and cannot escape. Avoid this app at all cost ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work with iPhone 14 Pro Max *2023-09-01, version 1.0.3* I’m a long time Android user who switched to an iPhone Pro Max. This app refuses to see that my dash cam is connected. What’s puzzling the app still works on my old Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Plus so I know the dash cam isn’t the issue. ### 1/5 — Crashes upon startup *2023-01-13, version 1.0.3* Tried deleting and reinstalling and nothing. Useless. ### 1/5 — Please add a no Star Option *2022-07-22, version 1.0.3* By far, this is one of the worst apps ever created. The app disconnects and does not work, regardless of the carrier. What company would blame the actual carrier? Escort radars are the best, but this app is the worst. Escort, please fix this because my M1 is useless compared to a 25.00 cam with an operational app. ### 1/5 — Horrible junk *2022-04-16, version 1.0.3* No tech support, no customer service, products not what they used to be. They should be ashamed for what they charge with no support for products. Horrible company. ### 1/5 — Was great now Meh *2022-01-27, version 1.0.3* Was a great app but now it won’t ever connect if it is full and live video doesn’t seem to work. iPhone 7 ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2021-10-01, version 1.0.3* Doesn’t work, enough said ### 1/5 — Not working *2021-09-29, version 1.0.3* Not connecting properly and app keep saying escort m1 camera not responding to live path rtsp://192.168.1.254/xxx.mov ### 1/5 — Terrible *2021-09-23, version 1.0.3* Barely works , no app support . ### 1/5 — Bad app *2021-07-04, version 1.0.3* Not sure why so many positive reviews… The app has never worked well for me. The app will crash and close most of the time. Now the SD card is full and the app just constantly crashes. What a piece of junk. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Best DashCam ever *2022-09-08, version 1.0.3* Easy to control ### 5/5 — M1 *2022-07-19, version 1.0.3* Easy to set up and operate works as it should recommend it Escort Radar detector ### 5/5 — M1 Dash Cam *2021-05-23, version 1.0.3* I have a aluminum blendmount for my Escort IX. Blendmount sells a 3/4” screw kit for the Escort M1 Dash Cam. It was very easy to swap out the screw and install the camera. I like that an extra power cord was not needed. Plug and play. I am practicing downloading the video files now. Very simple. ### 5/5 — Excellent *2021-05-16, version 1.0.3* Really I am happy ### 5/5 — M1 dash cam *2021-02-24, version 1.0.3* Love it! Never failed on me. I only wish they will come up with a new one with parking mode and as well rear dash cam. This one is still worth buying. ### 5/5 — Escort Redline 360c - M1 Dash Cam w/ Mirror Mount, Mirror Tap - Toyota Tundra Crewmax *2021-01-09, version 1.0.3* Living in RVA (Metro Richmond, VA area) I needed something completely stealth and the Escort Redline 360c is hands down the only option. Plug and play. I drive all day every day for work and cover most of the state avg. 250-400+ miles per day so the convenience of knowing were I can open it up a little without being reckless is a benefit....time = $ and the amount of people that drive in the rear view mirror these days is atrocious in addition to those looking to get hit I needed a dash cam. The convenience of having them mounted together and again plug and play is perfect for me. It’s a clean look and add the Blendmount Mirror Mount & Mirror tap made it that much cleaner with no wires hanging down and now you don’t see the suction cup on the windshield which is even more stealth as the whole mount sits more under my mirror rather then fwd a few more inches. The app for both the M1 and Redline is super easy and extremely user friendly! I highly recommend both as well as the Blendmount products. I need to find a rear camera now and I’ll be set. Wish the one in my Tundra was capable of performing more then a backup but wishful thinking! ### 5/5 — Great *2020-12-28, version 1.0.3* I’m happy with it does good job. 👍🏻 I love it ### 5/5 — Love *2020-06-19, version 1.0.3* Love it!! ### 5/5 — Camera 👍, camera mount👎 *2020-01-25, version 1.0.3* Great camera. I was under the impression that it fits with all escort radar detectors. However this is not the case. I have the x80 and it does not fit. ### 5/5 — Great product *2020-01-15, version 1.0.3* Amazing --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
