Escort Live Radar Reviews

Good app, needs some work.

Easier to adjust radar settings but could be made even easier. Needs a skip button on that intro. Also explanation under each option would be quite nice. The fastest mute option is not quite fast. Other than that its a good addition to the max 360.

Please update the app for iPhone X

Works Nice With Radar Detector

Easy to use, no Bluetooth issues using IOS 11.2.1, and provides a nice interface for configuring my Max 360. As for reporting nearby alerts such as police, speed traps, etc. I use both WAZE and this app together.

Not very good

I renewed my subscription before I read the reviews. The WIFI connects about 10% of the time but not automatically. You have to go to Bluetooth setting play with it and it’s hit or miss. The most bothersome is the box that flashes every few seconds telling you your subscription has expired and click to renew. I renewed and it won’t go away. You click no thanks and it pops up a few seconds later. The use to work great but now it’s a bust!

Used to be 5-Star but I’ve dropped rating twice

When I first started using my 360MAX with this app, everything worked exactly as specified. There were zero problems. All that changed with iOS 11. Now, every time I get into the car, in order to make the detector and the app connect, I have to follow a specific procedure. 1) Open Settings / Bluetooth 2) Select Max360 Info icon and Forget Device. 3) Cycle power on the detector. 4) Watch for Max360 to show up on the Bluetooth Screen again, Select it. 5) Wait for Max360 to pair. 6) Open EscortLive and if it is not yet connected, Select Max360. Only after following this exact procedure, will the app work with the detector. I would not complain, if Escort had made one or more attempts to resolve this problem in the weeks that followed, even if those attempts failed. at least such attempts would have shown that they cared. But that didn’t happen and after several weeks of no action on the part of Escort, I dropped my 5-Star rating to 2-Stars. After many more weeks with no action I feel it necessary to drop my rating to just 1-Star. I’ve checked and iOS 11 is fully compliant with the latest Bluetooth standards. Also, every other Bluetooth device connected to my iPhone works exactly as intended. The problem is Escort’s. Yet, in all this time, Escort has done zero to resolve this issue. The app is great,… when it works. It’s just needlessly difficult to get it setup each time I get in the car and Escort has been TOTALLY UNRESPONSIVE, regarding this issue.

Won’t even connect to radar detector anymore

Rather than adding simple features people have been asking for for years now - such as muting music when it detects radar or muting itself when on a phone call, this app continues to get worse over time. Now it claims that my radar detector isn’t connected to my phone despite the fact that the detector is clearly listed as “connected” in my phone’s bluetooth settings. This makes it utterly unusable.

One major problem

Truk Meister ;-)

The new version is garbage. It's like a hokey kids game with rudimentary lights that flash all over the place and never go away. Truthfully this would be really good for a toddler to play around with - it's crap. One major problem - the map view should have the option to track up for direction of travel or north track up. Think about it, if you're in an area that you're unfamiliar with and you're looking at locations of speed traps on the map with North tracking up then your not sure exactly where the alert is. You need to be a look at the map at a glance and instantly know where the alert is.

Does not work with IOS 11

App does not stay connected to detector with IOS 11, for a company the size of Escort you would think they could support their products sufficiently to work as promised. Time to find a detector and ap that actually works and return detector to Costco for refund.

Love the idea, but...

I wish that almost every aspect of the app were better. For starters, the connectivity is pretty bad, but I’m willing to chock that up to iOS API transparency. Being able to set alert lockouts on my hardware is great, but live alerts have so many issues with listings not updating that it’s really not even a feature, and I wish I could turn it off. For example, there’s a speed trap marked on my daily commute that has been marked in the same spot for at least the two years I’ve been making this drive, and red light cameras haven’t been legal in my state for years, but I still get alerts for them. In addition to all that, lockout locations don’t share or even sync with my escort live account, so when I have critical issues that cause me to have to uninstall and reinstall the app, I lose all my lockout locations. Fortunately, I’ve never been charged for a renewal of Live service, otherwise I’d be asking what I’m paying for, I’d Escort isn’t updating maps, and they’re not cloud storing my lockout marks. Even the look and feel of the app tells me it hasn’t had a major revision since iOS 6 (5 years). And now that more mapping apps (ie, Apple maps, Waze, and Google Maps) are all providing APIs, is love to see integration that puts alerts on my nav maps, or at least accounts for my route in alerts. Especially with Waze’s hazard reporting system, I feel like Escort could be a great partner with them, putting radar alerts out to a wider audience, and/or bringing other hazard alerts into Escort. Additional features I’d really like not have: ability to lock out Ka alerts (there are a couple speed notification signs in my area that use Ka), ability to lock out historical alerts (for when a false alert passes before I have a chance to get to it), ability to re-route audio alerts to only on my phone (after checking that phone notifications are able to play audio). It was a great idea, and I really want it to work, but currently, it just doesn’t.

Does not connect to IOS 11
