    Default Trapster disappointment

    I used Trapster yesterday from California through Nevada and Utah. I got a nice glass mount for my smart phone and was using it - works great. I saw numerous radar traps along the way, some parked, some rolling. I reported about 5 to 6 along the way, but saw zero other people reporting along the way.

    Is anybody out there?

    My area can be slow to dead at times too. I get the text alerts to the phone and it goes bonkers during the holidays.

    It seems to be getting a little more and more popular as time goes by. I can tell more people are active Trapster users now than there were when I first started using it; although, it's no where close to being popular enough in my area to use the live update stuff.

    I think Trapster is a big waist of time.
    I think it would work better if you had to pay for a membership.

    I use it occasionally. One frustrating thing about it is that the reports I submit keep getting deleted. And these are for absolutely real speed traps.

    I've ran into the same issues, but they normally aren't deleted; instead, they get thumbed down. I got an email from Trapster about applying for a moderator position, but when I applied, I got an email back stating that I don't use the site enough to yet be a moderator.

    I stopped using trapcrap when 1. the traps I posted were getting a bunch of No's. 2. they were continuously deleted. I have images/video of known traps and they simply kept getting deleted by the mods.

    I got all excited about Trapster a few months ago, as I was driving north of Las Vegas and I got a report "moments ago" of a LEO in hiding and the report was spot on.
    Since then, pretty much nothing.

    I'm a software developer and I could probably write everything Trapster does..... hummmm..... A new product called "Open Road"?

    I use it constantly, but speed enforcement isn't huge here, but sporadic enough to make it successful.
