costs too much
Downloaded, and removed right away... some free apps are way better.
passage de 5 à 1 étoile. depuis la mise a jour (que j'ai fait seulement la semaine dernière) j'ai failli me faire flashé 3 fois en 2 deux trajets. les radar fixe ne produisent aucun son, flash ou quoi que ce soit alors que tous les paramètres d'alertes sont activés...
lol can't even change the language
Since the April's visual upgrade, in paysage mode, map mode. priority information such as speed is written too small (and white in red) hidden behind the gear lever in 5th gear. Such info is replaced with destination data which is not the main information at the bottom left. To sum it up where you are going is not the main info, SPEED is. Made for automatic cars right hand drive ? Coyote you have transformed a big app into a small app. Make speed and destination movable on the screen. PLEASE
The new sounds are very annoying! Very annoying beeps that you cannot disable. If you lower the sound, then you cannot hear the voice guidance. If you up the sound to hear the voice guidance, these beeps get you mad. I am a paying customer for many years, and these new sounds ruined everything.
Als je vaste camera's op de ring Antwerpen niet kunt detecteren hoor je niet in een app store thuis.
This application will simply not work if you use Blokada or any similar anti-ad, anti-telemetry tool. Got a 4 years paid account and it is simply useless. Mind you, settings ask you if you want to allow telemetry, disregarding your choice if you refuse to allow these the application will still try to access api and domains related to telemetry and ads. As soon as you disable anti-ad / anti-telemetry protection, it works properly.
Some settings miss, like being unable to switch to mph in the uk or "muting" the camera alerts for cameras i pass every day. Sometimes the app is open but no warnings are given when i pass fixed or limit cameras wich makes it very unreliable. Other times it beeps at every km/h I drive too fast even though the treshold is set to +15%.
J'ai utilisé le Coyote Mini durant 6 ans. Fonctionnement irréprochable. En février 2024, j'ai souscrit à l'App Coyote. Elle n'a jamais fonctionnée : la vitesse instantanée ne fonctionne pas, rendant l'outil inutilisable. J'ai appelé le SAV 4 ou 5 fois. On m'a confirmé que le problème était connu, qu'un fix était imminent et que l'on "m'accordait" 4 mois gratuits. 6 mois plus tard, pas de fix, et on continue de prélever mon compte. J'abandonne et adopte Waze.
J'avais déjà fais un avis en juin 2023 sur le prix et les bugs mais visiblement ils n'écoutent pas les avis, si bien que l'application est encore pire qu'avant, les nouveaux sons sont vraiment mauvais, je me mets souvent de la musique et la nouvelle version baisse la musique mais ne la remet jamais, c'est vraiment basique en dev mobile, vous ne faite donc aucune pré-production de test avant de publier une mise à jour ? (N'oubliez pas, 15€/mois), allez à la concurrence chez RadarBot (25€/année).
disappointing
I downloaded the app in hopes that the usability would be better than the internet site that redirects me from .fr to .lu to .be with me being unable to connect to all of them eventhough the FAQ sends me to the .be site. But here I am disappointed that the app is also pay to use so i'd have 2 subscriptions. And I can't even delete my subscription via the website
Only concerned about your subscription, app is slow and in accurate Avoid!! Better use FM or WAZE
+2€ par mois en 2021. +2€ par mois en 2023. On atteint les 10€ par mois. Aucune justification en terme de nouveautés ou de services pour des augmentations pareilles. Monopole + prendre les clients pour des vaches à lait, c'est tout.
This app on my current smartphone (Samsungs A12) doesn't realise the real time gps positioning and is mostly stationary locked. So the alarms are not signaled, route info is not real time etc... Other apps do have the real time gps positioning on my phone, so the low app reactivity is not acceptable and completely not reliable for on-the-road route guidance.
Massively slow app, maps are outdated and can't keep up with the speed of the car. To many bugs to ask any price! Back to the drawing board people!
Do NOT download this app! I helped a buddy out about a year ago that was a little short on his bank account so I paid for him. It was supposed to be a one thing only but now iTunes is trying every day EVERY DAY to STEAL money from my account and I don't even have an iphone there's no way to cancel the payments but luckily my bank knows about this problem and they blocked iTunes to keep stealing from me! AGAIN, DO NOT USE THIS APP
Not working Android 10
The pricing is RIDICULOUS!! Idk what is worse, the Fine from the police for speeding, or the subscription to avoid the fines. This is ridiculous
Bonjour j'ai utilisé l'application Coyote et j'ai noté qu'il y a beaucoup des points fort à savoir la détection des cameras mobiles, la fiabilité de l'information par contre il y a beaucoup d'erreur sur la carte. Des adresses inexactes ou n'est pas correctement dessinée, en plus des limitations de vitesse incorrectes. Je n'arrive pas à notifier la communauté coyote qu'il y a une erreur de limitation de vitesse ou une erreur dans la carte comme dans waze. Androide auto est terrible aussi.
Sa marche pas dans android car on arrive pas a rentrer la pass e la mails une etoile c'est deja trop
De app opent en ik moet een package selecteren, maar daar komt een foutmelding waardoor ik naar het startscherm ga. Hierdoor kan ik dus niets in de app doen. De app gebruikt een mix van Nederlands, Engels en Frans. Onafgewerkt en slecht of getest.
Abonnement cher
The Community is large but the app is very slow and crashes all the time. Unstable. Please fix this. When you compare the app with the competition, the difference is like night and day (in the negative way). I hope for a big update in the near future.
Doesn't work with orange. Keeps bugging!
Impossible to login or register, shows error 257...
New update mutes your music, used to be better
De pire en pire, l'application est devenue inutilisable. Pas de synchro avec GPS (alors que d'autres applications installées en // fonctionnent parfaitement), Coyote indique 0kmh, 10kmh, 5kmh.. bref déconne complètement. Les voix en anglais... j'ai d'abord pensé à une voix "parodie du cliché du parisien qui parle anglais" : dangé signalètèd in vingt kilaumèters ... Je n'exagère pas. Mais en fait non, c'est pas une blague... ??? C'est la dégringolade en enfer chez Coyote.
Crashes every time I try launching it.
The community is great and alerts most mobile and all (to my knowledge) fixed radars. However, the application itself is terrible... It amazes me how each release just brings more (major) bugs. Your music volume gets lowered upon a voice notification (which is good), since last (or one of latest) release the music volume is never restored... You can't just use the volume buttons for that, but have to close the coyote app to get your music volume back. Just one of many bugs...
Just loaded the app, says subscription expired, then no offer available
Keep billing me
Cannot register, error 257. No other explanation.
Et ça recommence, depuis la dernière MAJ de l'application, je juin 2020,ça ne fonctionne plus, et alors que mon abonnement payant est encore valable, les informations d'alerte ne fonctionnent plus, n'intervient pas, : quand j'utilise un itinéraire la voie de guidage il n'y a pas de MAJ. Fait et refait l'installation, la la connexion avec login et ot de passe ... ça ne change rien
In the beginning the app worked very well, but since the last updates we are having trouble with the sound notifications... We don't get any sound notifications 🙄
Les voix pré enregistrées ont été retirées
The 2025 update really destroys the experience. No new feature but the UX is significantly worse. Confirmation buttons on top of the screen require much more effort than when they were on the bottom and one could rest a wrist on the dash for better accuracy. Unsafe. Legibility is just worse across the board. It became much harder to distinguish my speed from the speed limit, etc etc A real waste.
If you want people to try it don't force them to sign in,
There is almost constant lag of voice guidance. I find it difficult to search a favourite address while on the move. Speed cameras are not shown on map, as with Waze. It also offers worse guidance in case of traffic when compared to Waze. Last but not least, it does not beep as the Coyote device when approaching speed cameras; they claim it avoids inattention but a lot less than the classic device since you cannot hear it.
Premier jour de test (android auto, 250 km) : volume app au max mais quasi inaudible pour autant qu'il y ait un tant soi peu de musique. Pas de descente automatique de volume. Tel parametré en anglais mais impossible de choisir la langue du guidage/de l'app.... obligation de l'avoir en anglais, pourquoi? Quelques bugs de détection de limitations de vitesse. Pas encore convaincue 😞
Horrible interface that continues warning you about the same thing. Impossible to see what it warns for. Not worth the price.
Crashes a lot and since one of the last updates it no longer goes to landscape mode.
Nog enkele bugs zoals: - taal kan je niet veranderen zonder de taal van je smartphone te veranderen - regelmatige crashes met de melding 'is your MOT up-to-date Als dit nog opgelost geraakt krijgt de app een 5. Nieuwe bug: audio staat permanent in notification mode waardoor je in de wagen je volume op max moet zetten.
Nearly unusable with android auto (althought it's more expensive). With my Android 12 phone, when connected to the car, the app gets incredibly slow and keeps geo localizing me at random places, making it almost pointless. Also doesn't show the speed when connected to the car. Works way better on an iphone, so beware before buying a subscription
Overlay worked when I checked it on advanced settings. If I quit the app and launch it again, the option is unchecked and I have to check it again if I want to have the overlay over the other apps. Unusable for me, I asked for a refund
Android auto is a disaster. Only bought sub for it yet it crashes and you have to force stop app. You can't get in and out of car without closing it or you will get a map of Berlin which doesn't change. There are other free apps that work way better on AA at the moment
Everytime i use the gps it always lost connection, i even can not use the app very well and im paying it monthly
