Fantastic App! Fantastic Developer!
This app is fantastic and even better than the native app for the Varia Radar Taillight. (That app will only work on your phone.) I had a special use case in that I wanted to mount my Apple Watch on my handlebars so I could always see the screen without taking my hands off the handlebars. However, once removed from the wrist, the display would time out and go dark after 70 seconds. Over email the developer helped me figure out the problem and how to disable wrist detection on the Apple Watch. Now the display stays on throughout the entire ride so I can always see how many cars are back. Roberto, the developer, provides the best support going way above and beyond what most other developers provide. Milione di grazie Roberto!

Works fine on Ultra 2
It does indeed work quite well. Especially like the vibration when I can’t hear because of background noise. However, instructions on use are a bit sparse.
Great app !
I’ve been using the app for maybe a month now. I use it on my watch series 8 without my cellphone present. The app works great in current format , and the developer is SUPER responsive ( emails me back within minutes ) about making changes you want to see to improve the App. If you use an Apple Watch , and ride with a bike radar , for $6 this app is a serious bargain and no brainer and he will only continue to refine and improve the app.

Thanks!
Not good
It does not alert me on my watch of an approaching vehicle. Intermittent connection with the Garmin radar
Response from developer
Send me an email to Roberto.viola83 at Gmail.com, I guess you are running apple workout as well on the same watch
Doesn't see to work on Ultra 2
Momentarily connects to Varia RCT715 then disconnects.. No support that I can find.
Battery Consumption Unsustainable
I activated my Garmin RCT715 + ARadar for a 50-mile bike ride. My Apple Watch was at 100% charge at the start. It was under 20% at the end. I can’t risk running the Apple Watch battery all the way to 0%, which would have happened on a 4-hr ride. I am abandoning the app. $6 down the drain.
Response from developer
Disable the always on display. I have a 5% drain each hour with my AW7. Please contact me to Roberto.viola83 at Gmail.com and I will check your case
Very useful app!
Really nice integration with radar! The haptic feedback is quite a nice way to be alerted. The developer is very accessible and helpful! Thanks!
Great value, great app
I recently got the Garmin bike radar for safety. This wonderful app makes it possible to use the radar without having to mount the phone on the bike or having a dedicated bike computer to pair with the radar. It does its job well and, thankfully, is not a subscription app. The one time payment is very reasonable. The developer is capable, friendly and very responsive. 10/10!!!

Nice app needs better edit feature
Great app, easily paired to my Apple Watch. Not sure why it recorded my last ride as a walk. Typically I don’t walk at 17 mph. I can go back and edit that it was a ride rather than a walk. Would be nice if I could set bike ride as a default. Well worth the six bills for radar detection and alarm to my watch.
June 16 update review. Talked with the developer who was very responsive. Reset a few items on my Apple Watch and works much better.

Hi contact me and I will help you. Leaving a bad review for a "great app" as you mentioned it's not correct at all! Bike is the default so maybe you changed by mistake?
