Fuzz Alert Speed Trap is a hybrid game/real-time user-feedback system to alert users of speed traps; and while it is impossible to verify, it worked as advertised in our tests. The known speed traps near our testing site were noted on the app, and the verification system seems to reward users for accurate notations, while trying to minimize the number of false reports and verifications.

The app instantly opens to your current location, using the GPS tracking in your phone to match you to the map. It will then show the nearest speed trap to you. Zoom out and you can see others in the area, as well. These functions are all free and don't require registration. If you do register, you can add new speed traps and "pimp out" a digital car you're given to show how many speed traps you've registered and confirmed. The system is set up smartly and the interface is very user friendly, complete with alerts for your area. We cannot confirm all of the speed traps listed near our location, however, if only because they are not always apparent.

Fuzz Alert Speed Trap is a potentially useful app that allows you to see where people are reporting speed traps in your area. While you should use it with caution and not rely solely on it, either to warn you of speed traps or to catch them all, you should download it, even just for general reference.

Great Application

Pros
It's simple to use and fuzz alert on several occasions helped me to avoid getting a ticket. In addition, I like the ability to quickly and easily avoid inform others of potential speed traps.
Cons
I don't have anything negative say about the application as it works well and is easy to use. It serves its purpose well.
Summary
Overall I love the product. I have a lead foot and wanted something I could use that would help me avoid the expensive speeding tickets. I have had radar detectors in the past, however this is so much more for so much less and provides you much more advance notice of speed traps on the road.

Summary
Here is how it works: Fuzz Alert lets users locate approaching speed traps, red light cameras, live police and dui/dwi checkpoints. Fuzz Alert Pro - radar mode, background mode, map, pimp it, and animated voices. Fuzz Alert - "free" comes with map, pimp it, and animated voices. Police enforcement areas can be located on the map by users setting the location by double tapping the map to set the specific location where the traps are located, thus alerting other users of enforcement areas. Speeding tickets, red light camera tickets and dui's can be a very expensive for a driver, this application can alert drivers of various police enforcements areas. Features Radar Mode: Pro version only - Radar Mode is a simpler way to be notified of speed traps. Audio cues will let you know when speed traps are nearby. When speed traps approach, the pace will quicken, alerting you to a potential police enforcement area may exist. ? Radar Mode provides visual and audio feedback when traps are known to be nearby ? Red glow is displayed in a progressively intense manner as the trap gets nearer. ? An audio "ping" plays rapidly as the trap gets closer. Background Mode: Pro version only ? Instead of closing the app by hitting the home button, the user can elect to send the application into the by tapping "background" this way you can have the application running while doing other things with the phone. Map Mode: To report a trap, click the + button when you are next to one, or double-tap the map to specify one precisely where you saw it. ? The following traps will be displayed on the map with unique icons: Live police, Red Light Cameras, Speed Cameras, Checkpoint (dui/dwi). ? When a user comes within a certain distance of the trap, the alert will occur: Trap Reporting: Speed traps, red light cameras, live police, check points ( dui/dwi ). Verifying traps: You can verify traps by double tapping an existing trap to let other users know if that trap is still active, not active. ? red background = verified by other users. ? yellow background = evenly conflicting opinions. ? blue background = unverified or there is a fair amount of disagreement. Pimp-It: Registration is required to use Pimp It. Once registered, you'll get a classic car and be able to pimp it out by reporting traps and getting positive feedback! ? Active users will be able to build out a sweet new ride with this feature. ? The more time you run the app the more points you receive to pimp your ride. ? User Ranking is a rating of how well the user is reporting traps and is based on users verifying their traps. ? The more verification of your traps, the more your ranking will increase. ? The Rankings will decrease for disputed reports on certain traps; more disputes of your traps, the more your ranking will decrease.
