Hay all...

Just pissing around with my iPhone and I came across an App called Trapster... ...Did a search for it on the Forums and seems no one has talked about it...

Their web sight is Trapster... ...Seems to be very community driven...

Anyone on here using it???...

Been using it for a long time now :D

Great app, it pushes notifications of recent traps to you.

A bit draining on the battery though to have it on constantly while driving though so it's hard to report traps on the spot. I just wait til I get to my destination and then report it online.

My old man uses it all the time cause he has an iphone now... It works good I guess if people report what they see. Anyways was driving on the south coast of NSW and my old man tells me there is a police car along a road we were driving, and yep sure enough there was a green VE Commodore police car sitting behind some bushes. Lucky I was doing the speed limit cause it was a verrrrry straight road and around double demerits...

When I first got the app, I thought it'd be useless because no one would be reporting stuff.

Found out that there are a lot of people using it and quite a few people in my area are regular users because all of the traps have been reported by the same reliable sources :P

It's good to have a quick check of the "Recent Traps" list before you head out on a drive. It gave me a heads up once that I would be going through a booze bus, but I had no choice but to go that way haha.

you make a lot of noise, blow hot air, break down constantly and leave a trail of oil?

so is this an app that you just read before u go out? or do u keep it on while driving and it beeps when ur need a camera? pls explain?

You can do both. The web site is where all the work is done. The app on your phone is a portal to the web site. But it also streamlines reporting back to the site.

As you're driving it displays google maps (on iPhone at least) and will beep and point out where a cop is. If it's a green warning, it means it's just been reported and if you see a cop there too you give it a thumbs up, and it goes yellow. If it's yellow and you see a cop you give it a thumbs up and it goes red and means that at least three people have seen and reported that a cop is there.

If you don't see a cop there you give it a thumbs down and after a while if enough people do that then it will be removed.

It keeps the maps and app live.

I have my iPhone mounted in a TomTom cradle so it's clear to see and quick to report or thumb.

The app is free to download and use, apart from your phone data costs.

      Curious if you've discussed this with them, maybe they can remove it for you since you requested it not to be coated.

      Grind them off, drill them out. Repair any rust on the other side. Start again from scratch.
