Sick

Very helpfull

Review

Interface and be better, maybe allow us to view more of the map switch cameras. Make it more user friendly. Overall it does tell u the speed traps and everything else I would just rather now ahead of starting my commute instead of being surprised while I drive. Also maybe an option to just see the map and not the camera.

Get it before Apple pulls this app!

It seems to work OK. Id most likely use it in an area I didnt know - to warn where traps might be - its not a license to speed or drive drunk!

Not to bad

Seems to be correct, but the thing that bothers me the most is that the map docent turn with the car. So you usually see yourself driving down to the bottom or side of the map, this is very annoying and misleading. Also most of the cameras at the bottom of the screen dont seem to work. If you can make the map turn with the car that would be great

Not really free...

It might be legal but it isnt exactly "free". You need to register an account and pay subscription fee(s). I had used previous version and it wasnt very helpful. I was willing to give it another try… No thanks.

Registration

The upgrade that now requires you to create a subscription account renders this app undesirable. Too bad.

keep the old version

Unlike the last version, now you you need to register and agree to a lengthly disclaimer. Good thing I have one of their competitors apps, which I will now use instead

Nice

Pretty good app

Needs a subscription which is overpriced IMO

The app itself is a bit clunky, it seems to have a hard time figuring out the direction I am headed. A subscription is mandatory and its $10 a month... Way too expensive for info that is all user-submitted or public record. I wont use this unless it becomes ad-supported. This is a very trivial app to code and the cost seems unjustified.

A long way to go...

The app is constantly asking you to vote on the legitimacy of speed traps and cameras several blocks before they are visible. What makes matters worse is that the voting window closes moments before you can finally see the camera. The gps accuracy is very poor and the map system itself is horrendous. Finally, given the very unrefined state of this app I feel the subscription price is grossly out of line. This could be a great service with just a minimal effort. Too bad the publisher clearly doesnt care.

Does not work in Toronto

Wrong information for Toronto

Phantom Alert

Will it works so thats good news.

On point

You need this app.

no good

no good it dont work ar all dont be a full by this

use it every day ...works very very well

man this app is really useful. DC just added 79 speed and red light cameras. Virginia cops love to pick on Cabies. maryland also is going crazy with mobile speed cameras. they really eant to pick drivers pockets in the name of slowing down drivers. its all a lie. I am amazed as to how many alerts I get through this app. wow ! there are so many ways to get a ticket driving around town and you really have saved me from several tickets. I also love the live traffic cam views. I use it to pick which routes to take. I have told fellow Cabies and passengers about your app. I hope you get some business out if it. pleas keep it up as this is a very useful service. by the way your tech support guy was awesome too helped me install it on my wifes tomtom. I am a life time member and the $100 bucks you charge for to users for life is worth every penny. I can honestly say I it paid for itself the first day you helped me Avoid a hidden speed camera on Missouri abe. how sneaky it was hidden behind a big tree. thanks for the alert. recommended to every driver. thank u.

Getting better

After my initial review I was contacted by customer service and they explained that they have had server issues with the website. He said he was upgrading me to a lifetime membership and give me a different way to download the content. It seemed to work but as of today the traffic cameras in the app are still not available . I am not giving a 5 star review until everything is fixed. Thanks

Savin me money!

I love this app. My fiancee likes to drive, so I let her drive. The only problem is that shes reckless. I love her to death, but I dont care for all the tickets shes having me pay. This app saved me from my rising insurance premiums, I show her where the areas that will be possible for for her to get caught doing sonething stupid and now shes acting much betta behind my wheel! Thanks

Tried to contact through the email provided but that didnt work. So here is my problem

Im using the phantom app and it works fine BUT! The voice notifications are soo low nobody can hear it...Ive even had to shut my radio off and hold it to my ear just to hear it...a suggestion is to update the app with a volume control bar to raise the volume level....I know there is a button to shut the alert sounds off but none to adjust the volume...Ive tried many thing to be able to hear the notifications but to no avail. Plus its illegal to have a cell phone in my hand in NY so holding the phone to hear the app is a no no....thank you for your time. If any questions please feel free to contact me.

Meh

I could never really get it to work right while I was on the road, and this is in the middle of a big city. Then, while Im trying to figure it out, back at home, it starts talking to me in a super loud voice while the phone was on silent. Im fairly certain there was no speed trap in my bedroom or anywhere near it. What there was, was a loud, inexplicable noise coming from my phone that woke up my gf. This was the first time-- and will be the last time-- this app has actually done anything.

Needs improving

Too many false alerts. I will be looking for an app that has a confidence level setting that you can put on where only you receive the highest confidence of alerts.
