Bluetooth still doesn’t work?

Lifeguard1rn

What I pay for subscriptions and own the Max 360. I don’t understand the issue getting this corrected from what I see it has been 4-5 months. Please help

I can find a positive aspect to just about anything. Except this app. I can’t believe I actually spent money to subscribe. They must have hired student programmers in their first year of school to create this disaster. Where to begin? The Smart Cord will rarely connect without multiple starts and restarts of the car ignition and Bluetooth settings. After that finally connects, logging into the app produces an error message telling me no device found despite having the Smart Cord displaying blue (indicating connection). At one point, I get a message telling me that my subscription has expired before telling me my subscription runs through November 2018. There is no value in an app that relies on a social platform to deliver its functionality and the vast majority of users are unable to connect. I would not recommend paying a subscription until they pony up the bucks to hire some competent engineers to fix this disaster.

Broken since iOS 11

Since my iPhone has updated to 11.0 this app has not connected to my detector. I have tried it on my iPhone 7 and my wife’s iPhone 8 and neither are working. Both phones are showing that the detector is connected in the Bluetooth setting but inside the app it shows that no detector is connected. I’ve been waiting months for a fix and haven’t received one yet. This is not very good for a service that has to be paid for.

Would be worth paying for if you offered more than what’s available. I have used app since it came out and even though I no longer pay for service, I still report when I see police. I use WAZE mostly now it’s free and offers more options. But back to Escort, the map needs to be updated desperately. You should update or upgrade app to also include driving directions. That way you don’t have to flip between apps. The app should have a heads up/North option. For the price we pay for the radar the app should be free and it should be offered for free across all radars that Escort sells it was ahead of it’s time when it first came out, but has fallen behind due to lack of upgrades. Another problem with this app is, since I’ve updated to IPhone X the phone shows to be connected, but mute doesn’t work, when radar goes off the app don’t automatically transfer hit to database I have to manually say police spotted. I love my radars and I have been saved countless times form getting a ticket. HIGHLY RECOMMEND purchasing Escort Radars, they are the best on the market, but the app do need attention to make this a complete package.

Speed Limits

MUSIC STREAMING DJ'S

Speed limit sign is in mph & actual speed is reading in Kmh & no where in the settings I am able to change that. Also having a hard time connecting my max 360 radar detector to iOS 11 & I even updated to a iPhone X. Seriously needs an update & customer service is horrible especially for the amount of money we invested in this product. Escort live is the main reason I purchased this product & it doesn’t work. ?

Inaccurate Speed

PlaceboTree

The alerts work well enough but I have noticed that when I glance at the app while connected to my Escort Passport iX I have noticed that the speed on the app only goes as high as 30 MPH. This is quite strange when the detector clearly displays the proper highway speed I am traveling. So I am traveling. At 75 MPH, my car speedometer clearly shows 75, the detector shows 75, but the app only shows me traveling at 30MPH.

Terrible

It almost never connects to the radar detector. Phone shows it’s connected. App never sees it. Useless. Glad I don’t pay for the service

To make the bluetooth work again with this app

To make the bluetooth work again with this app you only need to go to the bluetooth area and forget the export connection and remake a new one. You will see that the app recognize the connection. The bad part is that you need to do this every time you get into the car and want to use the App.

Works good so far

Feb 2018. I got the Escort IX. It’s my first radar detector, and comes with this app subscription one year free. It is a simple app. Mainly alert you if other detector owners picked up something. I have seen app disconnection once. Not sure why. The detector itself works as described. I had a few pick up, and half mile later, I saw the CHP on side of freeway with someone pulled over. I wish the app is free to subscribe so that more people use it and more data. The detector is already not cheap.

Frustrating....

Serves as useful utility once you go through all the rituals it takes to get this application up and running each and every time you start the app/device/car. It’s kind of ridiculous that you have to remove and add to Bluetooth each and every time it’s put in use. There is clearly something wrong, they are fully aware of this issue and all they do is blame n“Apple” as to the reason the app has thus major connectivity issue. I’m not totally sure why people in this world can’t act like adults, grow up, and learn how to work together and get things working right in this world. This is clearly some sort of compatibility issue that takes time, research and money to make work correctly and not to mention people that are willing to competently work together like grown adults instead of fighting over the monetary aspects of what it would take to get this ever so frustrating up and running correctly and the way it should$could work- the way one would expect this to work after paying $100 year for the service. I will NOT BE RENEWING THE SERVICE ONCE THE “free” INTRO SERVICE THAT CAME WITH IT RUNS OUT. Somebody needs to get their computer engineering and start communicating effectively before my “hard earned money” is spent. Pp With the above being stated as the honest truth, I would not touch this APP until they fix this HUGE annoying bug that continues to make this app very unenjoyable and a terrible waste of money!!!!!!! Escort should not even be taking money for this app until it’s fixed and works as promised. I’m tired of seeing “RED” every single time I initially try to start this app each day. At this point in time I always make sure I remove this app off of Bluetooth list each and everytime I shut the car down. It’s a must to keep things more simplified when restarting app/car each time. For the love of god, Escort, Please Fix this issue and stop avoiding the fact you have to address something you’re charging above and beyond for. NOT RIGHT!!
