Speed camera alert app iPhone?
 
I use the excellent Speedtrap Alert on my Android phone but my friend uses an iPhone. So am looking for app suggestions from anyone who uses a speed camera app on their iPhone.

Plenty of them advertised with good reviews but you have to pay to get the full capabilities on most of them. She is not happy about paying for an app that may turn out to be useless. There is Waze of course but I found it worse than useless for speed cameras. So suggestions please!

yes you have to Pay for it,
Yes there is a IOS version
Yes it works Very well, updated Often

A 12 month subscription costs just £19.99. A list of devices supported by our database is here.

the question is "is her licence worth less than £19.99 a year"

Cheers Andy. I should of course checked there first as that is where I got the database for Speedtrap Alert app on my Android. And bloody good it is too! I will go through that with her in the morning and yes, £20 is a small price to pay as far as I am concerned.

This is one of the reasons i use Waze, it updates regularly with new speed traps and if a member uploads a mobile speed trap, that gets added to the map there and then and whether or not the trap is visible, same goes for anything the members add an alert for, even potholes or other objects on the road, be it a car on the shoulder or in the road. Been using it for years, even when the car has had its own Sat Nav, I've ignored it and used my phone (Waze)

Couldn't get Waze to work while I was in Aberdeen. Speed camera way that is. No matter what way I fiddled with the settings I couldn't get any alerts. I have tried Waze a few times now with the same result.

Got it loaded on my friends iPhone using my subscription as you can have 3 devices linked to the same account. Excellent value.

I just stick to the speed limits.

They are there for a reason even if I do not agree with them

they've made the ignorant too frightened to step on it, even in order to avoid a car crash

they Used to be for a valid reason

now the "reason" is so you can get a nice fine/points for driving down a road that Was national speedlimit for 30+ years ,, and with ZERO changes to the road/anything on it is now a 40,,
and the Creeping of the 30-40 limits back on roads that were 60s,,
