    They killed the old app that worked flawlessly, made you upgrade to this app, and now it won’t connect to my radar detector at all! So I have features on my radar detector I can’t use.
  • App is absolute trash

    Will not join SC400 camera WiFi. The app throws an error and will not connect to camera. Bluetooth connects fine but when you attempt to update firmware or view gallery there is an error message “Unable to join the network SC400…” I’ve contacted support, tried every recommendation and still no access to gallery.
  • Stuck in the 90s technology

    The ui is fine, but one gripe I have is that you cannot open the gallery to view recordings on the phone app while you are using carplay so you have to unplug your device to use the feature. A little annoying but besides that it is a nice device to have.

    The concept of the app is great but in practice It doesn’t work well. First currently as it is, you can only have one phone signed into the app at a time. If you share the car with someone else, you can’t have two emails on one detector nor can you have two people signed into the same email address at the same time. The second big problem is that the app plays all radar alerts and turn by turn directions at the same volume as the music. Apple Maps, Google maps Waze all have separate volume for the term by turn directions and alerts versus the music. No one needs music at 75% volume and then here make a left and a half a mile at that same volume. It literally makes the turn by turn navigation app completely useless. All police alert alerts and turned by turn directions. Need to come in at a separate volume from the music volume. This app is not classified as a navigation app so that doesn’t happen.
  • Used to be great

    I really like my SC201 dash cam, but now it hardly ever connects to the app. Fortunately I haven’t ever been in an emergency, but if I was, I’d like to be able to just pull out my phone and download the footage, like I used to be able to do from this app. I can’t rely on it anymore. I think an iOS update bricked it.
  • Worthless App

    Difficult to connect Iphone to SC 200D camera using Drive Smarter App. Even after connecting, cannot view videos through app, with alert that device is not connected.

    To many useless features in this app while the basic and essential features (accessing device settings) take forever to load.
  • Background refresh more than 7 hours

    Ridiculous, this app background refresh used 20% of my phone battery overnight, I don’t even have parking mode so I don’t know why and what it’s using my battery for.
