Trapster iPhone App Review from Trapster.com
This kind of stuff is what the iPhone was made for!
Cost: FREE
By connecting with Trapster users you can build a social network that will save you from getting a speeding ticket. It uses the GPS technology in your phone along with their web service to plot speed traps and police near your location. Now that is a revolutionary use of the iPhone. This is a location based app so you will be prompted to use your current location or not. Trapster is an account based system as well, so you will need an account on Trapster.com. Luckily, the app will allow you to sign up for the service on your first run. Most of these applications and services are typically a little useless for me because I’m located in a fairly rural part of Eastern Kentucky. Surprisingly there was data on the trapster network that a user had submitted. Not sure if it originated from another iPhone user because this IS a fairly new application to the app store, but it’s safe to say if there is data in Hazard, KY…you’ll probably get data for your town as well. Like I said this is an awesome app and I think a revolutionary use of the hardware. Definitely recommended! Check out our video review.

You forgot the part where it crashes all the time. Even on the iStore you can see the differences between the real post and the fake posts.

It didn’t crash once for me. I did a live video except for pulling away to type in my password. I haven’t had any problems. Have you tried resetting and restoring your iPhone…I’ve found that to help me when I get problems like this.

Be sure to read the TOS. We’re getting some feedback that the agreement may require a little more than some people are comfortable with.

I’ve had Trapster installed on my iPhone for a week now and it hasn’t crashed my phone once. This is a good app that could be a great app! My biggest complaint is that radar traps remain “active” on the app for days and days after the police have packed up and gone home. Shouldn’t they automaticaly expire after a few hours unless someone updates the trap information? I’m looking at the app now (thursday morning) and it’s still showing traps as “active” that haven’t been updated in over 4 days!
