Ratings and reviews

An app full of problems that can cost YOU cash. How they obtained a 4.5, I can take some guesses, but likely not legitimately. 480i connection issues. Though not often, once is enough to get a ticket. Device wouldn't reconnect, cache clear, restart app & 480i, couldn't achieve reconnect. 2 minutes later, "flash!". A speed cam, at 6 over. My fault? Yes. Began to lean on the app far too quickly. Phone restart fixed issue. Asking us if, "Ka is still there?" Your device detects it, ask it, not us!

Redline 360C total piece of junk. 1 minute my device is visible in the app, the next it's not. it says device disconnected and it cannot find it. The device is in my Bluetooth but the app cannot find the device. I've had this unit for 2 years maybe more and I had to return it for service I just received it back from service and it doesn't work any better than it did before. A complete rip off.

A wonderful premise, but the only way to keep the radar detector connected is by keeping my cell phone screen on. As soon as the screen goes off, I lose GPS/radar detector connection. I've trouble shot everything I can think of. The app has full permissions. I've updated the firmware and app. Reset and started new Bluetooth connections. The app is allowed to fully run in the background and there is no battery optimization for the app.
