  • Great Companion App For My V1

    Ditto to all of the latest raves about this app. I've had it for less than a week and truly love it.

    Two concerns that I have:

    1. The vehicle speed is randomly off by posting 3-5 mph faster than my odometer speed. The same happens on both of my vehicles. Is there a way to calibrate to correct?

    2. Is there a setting so that my car audio is not lowered when I receive a radar alert?

    I'm using a iPhone 14 pro max for the app.

    Thank You!

  • Almost perfect

    This app is awesome. The only thing preventing the v1 gen 2 from being the best detector on the market is false alerts. This fixes everything. I would just say KA band user locks would be nice - I have two falses I drive by every day. Overall worth $10 instead of buying an escort detector for $200 more than a v1g2.

    Keeps getting better with every update. Thank you for listening. By far the best V1 app ever made. Thank you once again.

  • Works to make a quiet ride

    A really sensitive detector can be so annoying it’s useless. I get very few false hits and yet it warns me when there really is a problem. Not “perfect” but very useful. It’s the best by far and keeps getting better!
  • Superb

    This is overall one of the best apps I have on my phone. It works flawlessly, works as advertised, and makes (IMO) the best radar detector on the market even better. The screens and graphics could use a little cleaning up to make them more legible and less cluttered, and an explanation of some of the symbols that appear on the screen would be ideal, but this is a small price to pay for the functionality offered in this package. Absolutely, totally, and inarguably, worth every penny of the asking price.

  • Falling in love with my V1Gen2 all over again

    This really quiets your ride. All the reasons why I wanted to get the R8 are now addressed with this app. Overall I think the V1Gen2 is better than anything out there, but its lack of GPS is extremely frustrating.

    I could write so much more about this app, but this app really is everything the V1Gen2 should be out of the box.

  • One last thing and it’s perfect…

    If it could be used in landscape mode it would be perfect for me... I do use it more than any of the other apps out there. But really want landscape support since my pro max phone gets in the way of other things to see on dash while in portrait orientation. That’s it. Nothing else to dislike it is by far the most quiet v1 ride to work and around town. Great work on last version update. It’s a KA warning system and has since eliminated 99.9 of all other false. bSM and ghost is excellent. And spot locks never let me down.

    App support site down.. still hoping you are working on landscape option. Thanks!

  • UI Disaster

    I reeeally want to like this app, but the user interface is a poorly designed visual disaster, lacking any basic organization, information hierarchy, and professional design.

    The developer has clearly forgotten that you will be DRIVING when using this app. Instead, it seems like the intent is to impress us with how many alert and pieces of information can be thrown on the screen all at once, sometimes using plain English sentences, with bright contrasting colors.

    The initial splash screen – using what looks like comic sans – is your first clue that this will not be a good user experience. You’re then BOMBARDED by an unavoidable, overwhelming and infuriating wave of prompts that you CAN NOT STOP.

    Once you finally get past that, you’re presenting with a poorly designed UI/UX that any first year design student could dramatically improve in five minutes of casual work while drinking a cup of coffee.

    This app’s functionality might be amazing, but its UI and UX are just too sophomoric to even try.

    What a shame.

    Developer Response

    Howdy, Thank you for your feedback. There is a bug in the initial tool tip display that will be corrected in the next version 3.09. Thanks for reporting this. Regarding the main screen alert information, you can simply go into settings and turn ON/OFF the elements you like/dislike to customize the alert experience to your liking. They are all turned on by default, so you will know they are available.
  • No Landscape Mode, worthless
