Ratings and reviews

I've been a customer of Escort for 4 years, and I purchased the 360 maxCi custom install for my vehicle. The Escort live app and the 360 maxCi system are and have always been reliable. However, with this new drive smarter app, the experience has been a nightmare. Putting this app out before it's completed was an executive failure. Also, the Drive Smarter app requires that I give it unfettered access to my Contacts, video and audio, microphone, location AT ALL TIMES. Not just when using the app.
