Comments on Drive Smarter for Android

★★★★★ Alexander Romanov · Jun 29, 2026

The best app and radar detector combination so far. Highly recommend to everyone.

★★★★☆ John Langford · Jul 15, 2026

Great but can be glitchy. I've updated to the latest version and the app just constantly connected for 2 seconds then disconnected for 2s then reconnected again then disconnected, etc. Solved it (I think) by unpairing every Redline Bluetooth connection, clearing the cache and all data in storage, uninstalling the app then doing a full reinstall and making a new Bluetooth connection. It's a pain (make sure you have your login) to have to do that, but it seems to have solved the problem.

★★★★☆ Daniel Hasnat · May 26, 2026

Can you please remove the prominent red box showing when over the speed limit? Red is the worst color because it draws attention to it. I already know if I am speeding. Also, navigation screen is too zoomed in, can't see far enough ahead, especially when multiple turns are close together. I keep missing turns because I can't see far enough ahead to get in the correct lane. Currently, I need to fit another screen to run Google Maps.

★★★★★ Joey Adams · Aug 1, 2026

This is honestly one of the best apps I've ever had its so dope I freaking love it. Comes in handy, the only thing that I don't like I wish you can live view from the inside of your home and not in your car because the app has to be connected to the Wi-Fi or something like that, and you have to be like close to your car in order to watch a live view from your phone, say for instance my dash cam has the g sensors n if something caused it to come on can't view inside home. Have to go to the car

This app sucks go back to old version plz. Won't connect, takes 4 ever to load, even paid the annual fee $59 for iradar drive smarter barely works

★☆☆☆☆ Trevor Kelson · Jul 24, 2026

Battery draining. Never before have I had an app drain my battery so fast. This app needs to put itself in standby the moment. It has a weak sense of the Bluetooth connection. The detector or as soon as Android auto is no longer connected.

★☆☆☆☆ JASON · May 4, 2026

This is the worst experience I have ever had with an app. I would not recommend the escort redline 360c. The app doesn't work at all. You are better off getting pulled over for speeding and pay the ticket than buy an escort radar detector. I would give a negative 5 star if they had the option.

★☆☆☆☆ Elijah Maldonado · Jul 14, 2026

Completely unless app can't does connect can't get video off of the dashcam. Do not buy products that work with this.
