Needs overdue improvements

I have only been a subscriber for a week or so, but I’ve used the app for a long time, including back when Waze reports came across to us.

The first thing that needs to be done is to give us a night mode for both the map and alerts. Escort has talked about doing this for over a year. I’m not sure what the limitation is. We’re still waiting.

The second urgent thing that needs to be fixed is the size of locked out alert frequencies. The gray box for lockouts has the frequency in a tiny font in the lower right corner. If you’re like me and know K band frequencies of local falses, but worry about locking out a legitimate threat, being able to read those K band frequencies is important and I don’t need to waste time squinting. Give us the frequency in large numbers against that gray box.

The third bug I’m dealing with is whether or not changes made to the radar detector settings via the EL app actually take effect. Enabling or disabling a segment of Ka may not affect the detector’s actual settings until after a power cycle (turn detector off and back on again). I noticed this recently with TSR. Lane assist K band punched through when it should not have. I had TSR disabled in a rural area and flipped it on upon entering the city and moments in, a Cadillac sent me a wonderful 24.080 alert. TSR usually cuts that out pretty well on my Redline. The only thing we can do at this point is power cycle the detector after changing a setting which is disappointing to say the least.

The last bug worth mentioning is that I’ve seen a few instances where Ka will be reported with a frequency of 0.000 GHz. I’m not sure why the frequency shows up like that or whether the alert is real because my Redline does not actually display an alert.

There is a landscape rotation bug when going into app settings. Hitting back sends the screen back into portrait mode. The “Police Reported” overlay when using the Live cord is also in portrait when in landscape view.

At least usage in my area is increasing to the point where I know I’m contributing to the system. Escort Live is ok, but bugs have gone on too long to the point where users ought to ask Escort Radar to invest more in their developers.
