Bugs and Improvements

App was updated today 12/04, however no option was added for a custom notification sound. Really need this feature. Additionally, in iOS 26.2 when you open the app and you have music playing it stops and wont reconnect unless you close this app. I was hoping this issue would be fixed with this update.

It works

The app is fairly simple to use but has one annoying flaw. I don’t know how the app comes up with posted speed limits at times and loves to tell me I’m driving too fast. The actual posted speed limit could be 50mph but app comes up with stuff like 22mph or 13mph and voice won’t shut up.

Bluetooth Not Connecting

Since the new update I have not been able to connect my I Radar Scout. The issue is the Bluetooth connecting between the I Radar and my I-Phone. Also connecting the camera to the new app of Drive Smarter.

Great product

Got it as my Christmas gift and I'm enjoying it. The app it uses is pretty cool. Recommend it.

Nice app. But

Nice app but map orientation is always lost, Map keeps spinning while driving.

Great potential

I love the integration with Apple CarPlay. App has potential but a couple things are really annoying. First of all the Speed display is way off and jumps around wildly. I figured it would be accurate since it’s connected to my Redline radar detector which accurately displays my current speed. Secondly making adjustments via settings is very limited. I’d love to be able to set direction to Always North so my map reflects what I am seeing. Currently I have to click on the Arrow on the top o

So far good. Will see how user friendly.

Slow App

Good camera and set up with radar but Live view and access to files is ridiculously long.

Works well when it works

I like many of the features that this app has. I like how it connects to my gps. I like how I can easily send out community warnings similar to Waze. However in be driving down the road and all of a sudden it tells me that I’m traveling 187 mph… this make it hard for me to trust the app

Why does it take so long?

Why does your app take over 20 min to download? Also, you buy a product and can’t connect via an app? You state it is a known issue, then fix it

Good but could be better

Lots of false alerts. Mostly triggered by my radar. It’s driving me insane! I have made sure I’m updated and tried restarting the Redline and my phone several times.Nothing has helped.

Doesn’t work with iRad

Doesn’t connect to iRad

Constantly telling me air surveillance when there is none

I live in Virginia where I can’t use my radar detector. It is constantly notifying me of aerial surveillance when there hasn’t been any in years

TB

No map orientation on multi screen while connected to CarPlay also Drive smarter app locks out other navigation apps on multi screen not giving you a option to run drive smarter in the background. While navigating on drive smarter app there is no navigation lines on the map. Also no alerts on multi screen.

registration

Won't let me register keeps saying incorrect data sent

Maps are horrible outdated.

I search for a poi and in the list it will give me places in Italy. This app would be 5 stars if they could do an entire refresh on the navigation.
