Radar detector

When it works its great but the system is constantly going down and they need to fix that

Pokemon? Really?

While there are other companies growing concerned about people distracted when driving, this morons decide to give users the capability of reporting Pokemons, while driving!!! You should be ashamed of yourselves. Enabling people to be even more careless with driving is the most irresponsible thing to do.

Nice app

Just starting to use it, but so far I like most of what I have seen. Would like to have an option to enable location services only while app is running in the foreground.

New version update

I just updated the app and now when I open it a black screen appears and nothing else. I tried deleting and re downloading and still blank screen appears. Before this it was a great app and radar.

New version doesnt work!

Black screen on iPhone 4

Great app

Works well with the iradar 100, has helped me avoid getting caught speeding. I can travel a lot faster than most people. I know where cops are going to be on the map. Helps you avoid cops so purchase the radar then the app great combination helps you drive way better

Do NOT update!

Hangs with black screen.

Used to work

First the map stopped updating my location. Now the app opens to a black screen and nothing happens. Appears to be broken on iPhone 4S.

The Best!!!

I dont typically write reviews, but had to with this product! The concept works amazing!! I have the 950 iradar and use with the app and love it!! I looked at other radar units, but thought Id take a chance. Dont skimp on lower end models, go for the 950. Not a lot of false readings with it. I wasnt keen on the Cobra brand, but glad I did--this just works. The map actually shows you where on the map the threat is coming from and alerts you to upcoming threats, speed traps, etc! I have an iPhone 6 plus and works great for me. The bigger screen works great. If you drive a lot, this is a no brainer!!

Latest version not working on iPhone4

Running ios 7.1.2 and get just a black screen. Tried a reload of app but it didnt help.... An update ASAP would be appreciated

Back to greatness!

Use this app and love it. Only thing that would make this better is a more robust driving directions that can replace google maps and/or the iPhone maps. I drive a lot for my job and have to use GPS guidance the majority of the time. So switching constantly between apps is not fun.

APP update failed 28 Apr 15

Same as every one else updated app 4.1 on 28 Apr and HELLO Black screen. Tried serveral ways of contacting Cobra. Finnally got thru by sending a message on their web site on the 30th of Apr. I heard back 6 May in the evening -new update posted 4.1.1 and APP works again. Just felt left out in the wind a little bit. Cobra needs to work on keeping people posted when things like this happen. I only owned this system for less than a year. My family has several of these units and compared to the escort it is the better deal and better features in my opinion. Glad it works again. Really is a good deal.

Garbage

Nothing ever disappears... Its said there is cops in a location when they left hours ago... Needs to update way faster before I use this garbage.

Awesome

Perfect better then escort radar app!!

Absolute garbage

1 week old and hasnt worked since the beginning. Alerts out of sync, keeps music muted while not alerting, mapping is not at all accurate or updating. This coupled with support that took 47 minutes to answer, only to transfer me to someones voicemail. Never buying Cobra again.

iPhone 6 Plus & iOS8

There is no excuse for no iPhone 6 plus support and optimized for iOS6. Both have available for over 9 months. Plus should have been testing during beta so easily 10 months of time to fix the app. Once this is fixed Ill update the rating.

Good try, but...

Bought this about 2 years ago and it was all free. Now monthly subscriptions required! Not sure why this cant integrate with Waze or Trapster to share all data - and they are both free!

Upgrades needed

Just got my iRadar today and I finally got to use the app in conjunction with the radar detector. I thought it worked well but on the navigation portion it would be awesome if it added 1. Turn by turn directions 2. Recalculate directions when you go off of route. 3. Navigation info such as; Eta to destination, distance to next turn or exit ramp, etc Fix those things and it will be perfect imo

This could be a great app, if it worked.

I have been using this app for very long time. It has always had its problems: for instance, the car voltage would sometimes not update and if I switch between apps the traffic viewer would shut itself off. However, it has generally served me well. With this new update though now the program just doesnt work at all. On my iPhone 4S running iOS 6.X I just get the cobra splash screen and then the app quits. It still shows itself running in the background but eventually It even disappears from the app switcher. Uninstalling And reinstalling the app has not helped at all. I have tried opening the app with the Bluetooth radar detector already connected and I have tried connecting the Bluetooth radar detector after the app is open. Nothing is helping to get me anything other than the splash screen. The app support button only brings you to the cobra web page and they dont even offer a contact page let alone a support page. Please fix this as soon as possible so that we can upgrade our reviews.

What was once free...

In app purchases now, for what was always free. Waze is free, is easily as accurate in the city and has a larger community. Cobra now takes the data you provided them for free, and sells that data back to subscribers. I use the radar on long trips, but almost never use this app.
