Not helpful

It’s a nice idea, so I downloaded the app to help not get any further accidental speeding demerits. Half the time it can’t find any data on the speed limit and interrupts my focus to announce that. I’m deleting it because it’s annoying and not helpful, so I never use it.

CarPlay please

The app is a good idea but unfortunately of little use without CarPlay support.

Will this be added to the app?

School Zone

The app would be more useful if it had more settings, such as only notifying me when I am in a school zone during the active times.

Some signs, especially those without flashing lights, are sometimes hard to see.

Response from developer

Hi Johnny, This is exactly what Speed Adviser does. It will notify you when you're in an active school zone (eg only during school terms / times the school zone is active). For more information about Speed Adviser, visit our website: https://www.transport.nsw.gov.au/roadsafety/topics-tips/speeding/speed-adviser .

Doesn’t tell you the speed limit of specific roads

I needed to do a search for the speed limit on a particular road where I was incorrectly issued a speeding fine but a brain dead highway patrol officer. - this app doesn’t have that function.

Incorrect Speed Advise

Latest update still showing incorrect speed advise on M8/M5. Still showing 80.

Useless app

App doesn’t even work after exiting and re downloading the app, can’t seem to get a signal at all with full 5G Bars! Horrible app from the aus government

Inaccurate

If I relied on the App to not get a speeding fine I would have received numerous penalty notices from NSW Revenue by now. The speed limits indicated on the app are wildly inaccurate. I'm not talking about new roads but roads that have been gazetted for many years. One example: the app said I was in a 100kph zone when, in fact, it was a residential area with a 60kph posted speed limit. Please do not trust this app.

We are always working to improve the accuracy of the app. Please email us at speedlinksupport@transport.nsw.gov.au with the errors you’ve encountered. Please tell us the road name, suburb and the sign posted speed zone. We will investigate the error and make updates in upcoming releases.

Would be good if not for

Only discovered this recently after noticing sneaky third party mobile speed traps on ambiguously signed sections of road (really disgusting revenue promotion strategy, NSW Police/Government).
App would be used constantly if not for the alerts volume not working: so the alerts are super loud when listening to anything else. It shocks my little daughter with “why is that man shouting at us?” I’ve tried it on two different iPhones.

Inaccurate

App is inaccurate. Incorrectly lists speeds on Significant State Highways that changed 10 years prior.
Developer wants us to do the legwork rather than understanding what the speeds are in their own jurisdiction.

Wrong speed

This app is dangerous. It displays the wrong speed limit.

A Claytons App

Speed advisor..the speed advisor that advises you of the speed even when it doesn’t know the speed..making it live would be a better way to go brainiacs

Waiting and waiting and waiting for GPS signal

Title says it all. Tested app on iPhone 13 Mini and iPhone 14 Max Pro and neither gets past “Waiting for GPS signal “. 😢

School zone

School zone is only thing which make me download this app. What if you add a speedometer in this app that will be fantastic. Everyone will love this app if you can do it. Thanks

Speed Adviser CR(APP)

I have downloaded this app and reinstalled it several times now and it continues to give the same message “waiting for gps signal” , I have a iPhone 13 Pro fully updated with everything switched on but this app doesn’t want to operate. It’s a complete waste of taxpayers money and I would like to know how much money was spent developing it, I would assume it should have been released on April fools day as it’s a joke. It’s like a television that can’t be tuned to receive any channels.

Useful but inaccurate info at times

I like the large display and the idea behind the app (the speed limit changes 17 times during my relatively short drive to work). Quite baffling (and annoying), though, that an RMS-backed app gets the speed limit wrong so frequently. I hope the next version can fix these errors.

Not the best

Promising start

Needs a road speed display alongside the speed limit / flashing warning display - things like school zones are notoriously unreliable in ordinary gps maps so having your actual speed displayed vs what the app thinks is the limit would be good e.g. Showground Rd Castle Hill as I passed a fixed 60 sign the app announced I had just entered a 50 zone…
Camera data base needs updating as well - vintage camera on Castle Hill Rd near Coonara Ave was not mentioned …

Response from developer

Thank you for bringing the incorrect speed information to our attention. We are investigating this error and will make updates in the next release. Speed Adviser includes the locations in NSW where mobile speed cameras are allowed to operate. However, it does not include when these cameras are in operation. Speed Adviser does not provide alerts for other types of speed cameras, like red light cameras or fixed speed cameras.
