But I did find a flaw. The app doesn’t generate a warning sound when connected to your car via apple car play or Bluetooth. Is there a way around it? Or something coming up in the new update? Otherwise the database for photo radars in the app is perfect. ### 3/5 — Seriously needs updating. *2020-04-17, version 1.3.1* I have used this before, but it sadly lacks updates. Please make sure that this app is updated on a regular basis. ### 3/5 — Alerts not received! *2019-10-01, version 1.3.1* I too don’t get any alerts when passing by photo radar. ### 2/5 — Lacking *2019-08-23, version 1.3.1* This app alerts when there is no photo radar present. Or, it alerts after I pass an active photo radar location. From my experience, the alarm goes off at specific locations daily, even there is no radar present at the time. Room for improvement, and I hope these bugs can get fixed. ### 3/5 — Great with 1 flaw *2019-05-24, version 1.3.1* Alerts only when app is open. Great for cruises with the car fam, but really wish it would work while it’s closed as I drive for my job and have to use the gps instead to know where I’m going. Would be the best thing ever if it would work with car play as well! ### 4/5 — Good stuff *2019-01-24, version 1.3.1* The app concept is great and seems to work well other than the alert part. I do have it set to alert me at any speed and so far the app hadn’t generated any alerts even though I have driven past pins in the map indicating radar locations. Would give it 5 stars if the alerting worked for me. ### 2/5 — Like the idea *2018-10-10, version 1.3.1* It’s a great idea but not once has this app gone off or made a sound. Even with my notifications turned up and it’s always running in the background. I find myself checking my phone while I’m driving because I don’t know if it’s working. I’ll probably look for a different app or go back to scanning intersections. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work. Map isn’t accurate. *2018-08-19, version 1.3.1* I downloaded this app a few days ago and have been driving around Edmonton testing it out. I don’t receive any notification when I drive past a location marked on the app’s map. No sound, no banners, no notification of any kind. It tracks my location (blue dot) as I drive around, but doesn’t alert me as I approach and pass one of the published photo radar locations (red pins). Sound is on and all notifications are active on my phone. I have it set to notify me regardless of my speed. Tried rebooting my phone...no luck. I thought maybe I would keep the app anyways and just review the locations before I head out, but I just passed a known photo radar location today on the Whitemud WB (right before the Quesnell bridge). Sure enough, a white F150 was parked behind the bushes snapping photos. This location was NOT marked on the app. I will uninstall this app right after publishing this review. ## Frequently asked questions about Photo Radar App ### What does the Photo Radar App do?
