CamerAlert Enhancement Requests

JLee · Posted: Mon Feb 23, 2015 9:00 pm Post subject:

As a new user to the app who is trying to get it alerting properly to the system in my car I'd like to see a Test function added to save me having to drive round and round past speed cameras to see if it alerts or not.

Ability to 'program out' specified cameras.

Ie i pass same cameras on my way to work every day, their positions are burned into my brain, cos every time i approach them, the music i'm listening to is interrupted for 5 or 6 seconds.

Btw is there ever going to be an update with more features, cos the version i have now seems to have the same features as one i installed years ago.

It would be nice to see a 2017 version of the app.

Carplay and a big view of the speed allowed in the current road.

+1 for Carplay here too as my new car has this and a fix for loss of audio after a phone call would be great which I still get.

Is Apple CarPlay planned for development or indeed a fix for the loss of audio after a phone call has been received as mentioned by Dennis on another thread?

The loss of audio happened on my previous Octavia with iPhone 6 and now Tiguan with an iPhone 8.

Chaps, having an issue with the audio alerts on this app – I just don’t get any under certain circumstances. It’s not a lot of use without the audio alerts as you don’t keep looking at the phone while driving along!!

Noticed it with the M3 and the current 5 series loaner I have, both 16 plate cars, but I cant say I noticed any issues with my old 335d.

I think it might be something to do with the bluetooth connection. When I start the app up BEFORE starting the car it appears to be fine and I do get alerts (although not always!). But if I fire up the app after the car is started and Bluetooth connected then I never get the audio alerts.

I'm using an iphone 8.

Anyone else had these problems? Or know how to get the alerts to come through on the car’s speakers?

Cheers.

Do you have your car stereo set to play the BT audio or is it playing a CD/Radio etc?

As another client to the application who is attempting to make it alert appropriately to the framework in my vehicle I'd prefer to see a Test work added to spare me driving all around past speed cameras to check whether it alarms or not.

+1 for CarPlay...

On a side note I believe if Apple allow the app to be used with Car Play (whatever that process may be) then I am sure as hell sure and sure can be that the subscribers for the app will go through the roof. Smile

One bit of functionality which has always bugged me for years is that can we not just have a one click to report a camera irrespective of what type of comers it is.. The main argument for this request is that in this day and age when one can get into trouble for merely touching their phone whilst driving it makes sense to have a safer way of reporting a camera. The current process is press the button then select the camera type and then select the speed and then select submit... There are simply far too many button presses to go through. And if you are driving at 70 mph on a motorway this is not a good thing to be doing.... #justsaying Very Happy
