Radarbot: Speed Cameras | GPS Reviews

I’m on a 2000+ mile return road trip. Using Waze as my navigator, I drove 500 miles today with this app running the entire time. I was unimpressed by the radar alerts. Over 500 miles, this app only alerted me to 3 stoplight cameras while driving…and all three were received while driving 80mph on an interstate hey (where there aren’t stoplights). Waze, on the other hand, warned me of at least 7 cop cars ahead. 4 of the warnings were accurate, 1 had already pulled someone over, and the other 2 were either gone or false alarms. Regardless of the accuracy, I at least received relevant warnings. I gave one star because it warned of the stoplights, even though I personally assume all stoplights have cameras. I have another 3-4 days of driving. I’ll add a star each day I receive a valid alert about speed traps/police cars, etc. I’m hoping it works better in the coming days.

*update following trip: after the first day of driving (from Northern MI to western WA in USA), I didn’t receive any notifications from Radarbots. Based on other positive reviews and trusting they are credible, I can only assume that Radarbot is more relevant outside the US.

I use Radarbot a whole lot I try to go from place to place it always gives me updates I like to call it radar robot navigation it is nog like any other app I have used before it gives me warnings if a police car is following me I have never seen something like an app that gives me warnings signs and much more heads up warnings including telling me the way to go without me having to do it myself.

Thanks to the people who made Radarbot you guys are the best and a pro at this the pro version has more and works the same way good you guys are the best great job making Radarbot great to use and for others you did a great job making Radarbot helpful to me make others recommend hope you guys have a great day thanks for making Radarbot very helpful

this app by far is the best radar app out there even the free one is better than anybody’s else’s that you pay for. I literally have just erased yesterday something like 23 radars that I had downloaded and tried always come back to this app!! this app is easy to use everything you could ever need is there for you. The best about RadarNot is… you don’t have to go by an actual radar. It’s in Radarbot so it’s on your phone! If you don’t have it or have never tried it, do your self a favor and DOWNLOAD IT NOW!!

Radarbot might just me the best GPS style speed & red light camera locator there is. It could be better if The technical staff would listen to its users when they report on a new speed or red light camera. Would’ve given five stars if not for the lack of response from staff. I wrote to them 5 or 6 times about the same speed camera, of which I got a ticket at.
It took them almost a year to mark down that one speed cam. Otherwise its a very well thought out & well put together app. I would wholeheartedly recommend Radarbot to anyone driving. From cab & truck drivers to moms that have to drive the kids to school & after-school functions.
-The support staff could take customers seriously when new cameras are reported to them. They’re only trying to help make Radarbot more accurate.

I didn’t find anything on fines or laws about the information that you provided to me about jammer’s, radar detector’s and Radarbot ’s as in are they illegal or are they legal to use and have and whether they have any fines for using these. But everything that I seen was about European’s and the money they talked about was euros which didn’t help me to find out the information I was looking for. Other than that so far I have enjoyed it though, I just wished I had a little more information about the law’s and fines for using and possessing this stuff. Thanks and I hope you have a good day and a great Christmas and new year….!!!!!…… thanks

My phone is iphone 8 ..my phone is updated to the last version of software and the last version of this app.
After i updated this app to the last version the application turned off automatically when the mobile is locked .but the application still work when the screen is turned on ,when the screen is turned of the application turned of …plz fixed this problem

I have used Radarbot in last 3 months from IL to California and California to Oregon, Oregon back to IL, Il to SC and then back home.
I could check where red light and radar controlled speed limits were. I am not using pro version so I have to manually update and see commercials each day. PRO version would be nice but a little to costly for me for number of trips I take.
I wished it would show police along road are but I seen plenty and never got notice of radar.
I thought about getting radar detector but in some sates it’s illegal and don’t need more cops watching me.

Honestly, I’ve never used a device like this before, and I was quite surprised by its accuracy in detecting speed cams, red light cameras, and other such surveillance equipment used as a means to make the city rich off of your backs. In reality, they’re really taking money out of the pockets of police officers and that’s disgusting. Having said that, it’s a great app that frequently updates itself, so you will not be disappointed.

When trying to use Radarbot (as a new User) it first starts loading its database - something other apps don’t do at start-up. Then a full-page Ad for Lyft pops up. You try to swipe off of it and end up - in Lyft - an app I already have and like. I totally get out of this app and try again, clicking on a different place. Same thing. End up in Lyft. On the third try I get this app. But I’ve run out of time & patience and head over to WAZE, which provides directions AND input regarding speed traps etc. Is it as effective as this app? Not sure I have the patience now to do a comparison. I get Apps need to make $ from advertising, but don’t hold users hostage when doing so.

The best app for the driver. I drove all over Europe and Turkey let me say this France has radars all over I didn’t get a single fine. On my last travel I didn’t have access to this app and paid over three thousand in 4 months of travel. This year no fine and I never ever drive the speed limit. When this app gave a the beep I press the brakes than on my way. I would never drive without this app ever again.

A somewhat good app, BUT lacks many features and has many nagging bugs.
It is being constantly updated which is good.
It does work and does warn of cameras and other things ahead of time, which is also good.
It does not allow u to zoom in the map, which is annoying.
Does not follow the GPS location accurately!
Keeps nagging u about Red light cameras when they are a mile away on another street.
Nags u about police stations which is absolutely meaningless for the purpose of Radarbot , and u cannot select what not to warn about!
Keeps nagging u about lost GPS signal even when u deselect the option, and it does so when u r stationary!
No support link at all, and I sent them a Messenger message more than 10 days ago, they have not even read it!
I installed it, removed it and reinstalled it BUT I do not use it!

Update: they responded to this review TWO years later! Would anyone be interested in such an app and such support!?

I love Radar Bot. We’ve been 2gether for quite some time. Radarbot didnt appear in my radar until I bot my car. I had a rough day at work. Radar came and put her arms around me while i squeezed her bot. It’s undeniably convenient. No app cums close, not even wave. I’d Radar stick to Radarbot. Bot a lot of people are telling me to leave her. Id radar stick to Radarbot not cums close

On audio options every time I ask for the alert to come only on the phone it keeps coming over Bluetooth which disturbs any media I’m playing. I even tried to use predetermine device as phone only but if the Bluetooth is connected it keeps coming over the car speakers. Needs a quick fix. Otherwise pretty good !

I installed Radarbot n did paid version and in past trips driving through DC and other states i received tickets for speeding from cameras hidden in woods or high up on a pole. Havibg Radarbot running warned me way ahead of time on pAst trip and truly saved me from many msny tickets. Do think all should try n buy for future traveling !!

My niece had accidentally downloaded Radarbot thinking it was a game and signed me up for a yearly subscription, so I messaged them told them it wasn’t a purchase I would make, they did what they could to help me out, any app service willing to hear me out and help as best they can deserves 6 stars

It does what it is supposed to do; however the interface could be improved.

It is not at all clear to me after almost a year how to report errors in the database when you observe them.

Ads pop up at inopportune times and seem to require manual intervention to clear ad. So unless your passenger is running the program you the driver must remove the advertisement from the screen. A no advertising option is available for a fee.

Most of the time I use Waze instead because it does most of the things which this program does (Waze lacks a speedometer mode) and offers navigation including the ability to route you around backups which can reduce travel time.

I really do think it’s a great app I just don’t like it how now you have to pay it monthly subscription for like the golder for the best one that you can get it have it to where you can pay a yearly thing not monthly then I’d sign up for the gold I had it before I think it’s a good app I do

This is a great App I was able to use it easily to navigate traffic without getting flashed by cameras. It was easy to use and it was easy to add missing mobil cameras that were not been tracked by Radarbot .
I will also let all my friends and family know about Radarbot.

Five stars if there was a way to set Radarbot to automatically open if it senses you going over a certain speed and/or if you had the option to map your travel area and save it locally so it would still work in cellular dead spots or because you don’t like being tracked.
Otherwise, EXCELLENT HELP.

Love Radarbot! Only thing is...no need to speed, it’s the reason for accidents! I see people sped by next you see is an accident from that very person who sped. The choice is yours to decide. this app works wonders. I’ve tested it at max speed allowed on our highways and it has warned me of speed traps.
Thank you! this app!!!

I got pulled over in my mustang doing 80 in a 45 down a local highway by a Dodge Charger. Guy was super cool and let me go. I don’t know how I got away with just a warning but out of the 4 times I been stopped and given warnings (I’m only 18) I know that next cop probably won’t be so cool seeing I got stopped 4 times. Hoping Radarbot can prevent that!

Radarbot does exactly what it should do. And best of all it’s FREE!!! I would recommend Radarbot over any other app. Why pay to get something when you can download Radarbot and get everything. Very please with Radarbot. Thank you........

Very good program but r quoted some improvements such updating the-programs. Last update ?
Not able to detect mobile speed camera, not up do date of speed camera newly or reported by my self or others. Give Portion to expand the maps and look ahead alerts
Thanks

Life was dull! I had no direction! I didnt have a purpose! Lets face it i was lost! Then came this app! And lets just say i found my purpose! No more mr nice guy! You need it? I got it! Where i once was lost! Now im found! Worried about driving and getting tickets? Follow my lead!

When I drive without wireless coverage, Radarbot takes forever to load. It's not useful in the environment without Internet.

I hope next time or next month or next year I Julian are you like this one better but a gram he is willing next years maybe top 10 and thank you thank you thank you so much

App picks up red light camera ok. But doesn’t alert you if there is radar coming up. Does it only work if someone sends it in? If that’s the case, app is dependent on someone notifying the system of radar. With limited traffic is rural roads chances of getting picked up are good. Not worth the charge for the premium service.

I had Radarbot when I had a Google Phone. After switching to an iPhone this was the first app I looked for in the iPhone App Store. I truly love Radarbot and I use every time I drive somewhere.

Radarbot works very well I think it works better than my very expensive radar detector this thing went off before it did I’m very pleased with it

Working good but does not detect all speeds cameras and I still recommend it for drivers. I have all my friends use the free version before purchase the pro. 👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿

When I try to update database it says connection error occurred that’s why database can’t be updated

Please resolve this issue as I am using same in Pakistan right now
