Works great, been using it for 4 years and has saved me many times. By far the best app of this category.
★★★★★
8-28-14 (v4.3.3) Very helpful. I like the speeding limit indication along with current speed. Love how the app applies satellite imagery. Too bad it pulls so much power. Wish it had options to reduce this.
★★★★★
Good app but auto-logon doesn't work I use this app frequently but it is very annoying to have to login every time you start the app if you want to report anything. If this was fixed I would rate this 5 stars.
★★★★★
So far so good I really wish you could figure out a way to interface with my Escort 9500, your app is a lot better.

WHAT HAPPENED? I remember earlier versions when you could quickly report a TRAP from the main screen. Seems i cant report anything (using Note 3 with KitKat running Trapster 4.3.2).. the 'REPORT TRAP' does not display. According to your screens, you need to navigate the menu to report a trap... not practical... really. Tapping the screen 3x doesn't do anything either (based on your tutorial). Checked all the menus but i cant see where i can activate my app to report a trap. (Yes i am logged in via Facebook). Used to be a great app..... what happened?
