Must use in the streets
I love my Varia. Not only is it a great rear light but the radar is awesome. The Varia ap works great but i also pair it with my Edge and it alerts me and shows me how far the cars are. This is great for any road riding but specially in cities.
Awesome companion
This device is one of the best ride companions you can buy. Works well in a group, but comes into its own when you are on solo rides.
Picks up approaching vehicles way in advance of you hearing or sensing them and alerts you to their proximity to you.
It's well worth it just for that, but I can't help thinking the same as some others here, it could be even better with the addition of some basic info.
AVG speed, Direction, Mileage. For me the addition of these metrics would take this app to another level.
I'd go 4.5 stars as it's so good, but a little room for future improvements.....🤞🏻

Excellent radar
Works great. Please next include a camera rear view mode on your next model which can be viewed on your phone with AI boxes around vehicles with red the fastest approaching to help in deciding relevant action.
Need more sound options!
It’s way too quiet, even at max volume. Why not let us set to an arbitrary ringtone?
Also Apple Watch haptics could be beneficial.

Missing a Key Feature
I love this device, but if it worked with Apple Watch / Smart watch, that would be even better. I don’t always carry my iPhone with me when I cycle, but I always have my Apple Watch
Peace of mind
I’ve just begun using Varia radar / taillight . A few close calls prompted my decision to purchase. This product is as advertised and near flawless. I’m now aware of approaching cars , the number of , their approach time and when it is clear . Very pleased with this purchase. Highly recommend.
Cheap safety
The ability to be notified of an approaching car - especially when you may not be able to hear it makes this tool very cheap safety addition to you ride
Video playback and streaming is faulty
Downloading videos is nearly impossible using the app. Videos don’t load and they do not download. Connecting to the wifi network is also buggy. The radar function works.

I like the device and app works as advertised. I would love to control the light via the app or have the light off while radar is on or vice versa.
Waste of Time
The App is quite a pointless unless you want to ruin your phone screen, thought it control the settings so I could check the battery level but no it doesn’t. If you have a Bike computer use that instead. Garmin should remove this App it must be there worst ever software ever.
