M1 Dash Cam

When things work it’s “ok”. Nothing stellar. Like the title said, it’s hard to tell if the glitches are on the camera side or app side. But the app is taking the fall for shortcomings in this case. Some of the pros: -It’s nice to pull footage without removing device -it’s nice to change settings on the fly Cons: -constantly disconnecting or has some sort of failure -can’t delete footage that was automatically tagged by the G sensor -no way to back out from video edit mode. Close app and start over -video downloads are ridiculously slow, even when things are not disconnecting/crashing/failing -no real explanation on some settings (for example G-shock sensor levels are 1-4. Is 1 the highest or the lowest?) I really do have big hopes for escort. They are about the only American dash electronics company. But so far things haven’t changed much. Mediocre products for premium prices. It would be nice if they switched that around the other way.

This application is absolutely without a doubt the most WORTHLESS app I have on my iPhone. I have read where ESCORT has blamed it on the phone carrier being T-Mobile and that would not apply to me since my carrier is AT&T which happens to be the second largest network in operation in the US. I would have to honestly say that I am connected to the camera no more than 20% of the time. The additional 80%, It gives me a network error in which I go through the same motions every time of closing the app, switching off the radar camera and bringing them both back up again only to find that at best, 50% of the time it will reconnect. The reconnection is short-lived and it may be 2 to 3 minutes before it shuts off and I get the error message again. Location is not a thing because there are times that it will connect in the morning and then during the evening commute home that same area will not give me a connection. I will be writing a follow-up review after contacting customer service which I hope will not be in vain as so many have previously reported. Again, as this app stands presently, this app is a waste of time to even download. All that it leads to is constant frustration.

Apparently the app doesn't work with T-Mobile iPhones because T-Mobile is on an IPv6 network. This apparently affects their app somehow and the fix for this is technically simple and not difficult to resolve. Yet it's almost been 1 year and Escort has done nothing to fix this problem, yet continues to sell the product at full price. They say that you can get around this by turning on Airplane mode but to turn on WiFi while in Airplane mode. This should help you view your dash cam, but that's a huge flaw and this "work around" is completely unacceptable. Even the app itself is very clunky. I am just so disappointed that a company I know/remember to push out high quality products, has pushed something this low. It absolutely shows they don't care about their customers one bit. If this isn't proof, then I don't know what is.

Do not bother buying the M1 dash cam until this app is updated. I bought the dash cam and was extremely excited, however after I got it installed and I opened the app I was in utter disbelief. The app looks like it is stuck in 2009 based off the look. And the functionality isn’t any better. The user interface is absolutely horrible and the app’s connection to the device itself is incredibly poor. It honestly boggles my mind that this company even launched the product with such an embarrassing app to go along with the camera. This product has been out for over a year I believe and they have not pushed a SINGLE update to the app or the dash camera. The fact that this company has such a blatant disregard to its customers concerns is despicable. I can tell you that I will NEVER buy another product from escort EVER.

I’m getting the same problem as every other person on here, i.e. won’t load the live feed. I contacted customer support and they tried telling me it’s because my phone is connected to T-Mobile and they’re trying to fix it as soon as possible. What kind of pathetic freaking excuse is that? How does my carrier have anything to do with why my dash camera that has nothing to do with T-Mobile or a cell phone network make it so it won’t load a live feed? Furthermore, it’s worth noting they haven’t put out a single update for the camera since the launch of it 6 months ago. I’m sure they’re trying to fix it as quickly as possible thanks for letting me throw $200 down the drain without even telling me this problem could effect me 👏👌🏻
