Leave a Review V1connection, the app
Reviewer from Australia 🇦🇺
V1 works fantastic here, Awesome on KA band, bluetooth connectivity with this app is great makes it easy to update the detector. Paired up with Highway Radar soon available on the app store, makes this thing well advanced than most detectors.Patriotic Australian
Awesome but change resting display please!!!!
Thanks for continued improvements to software capabilities. Latest September update is a massive step forward. Except Resting display (for me).
Can you consider changing resting display to a non blinking dot? Or just the Bluetooth icon solidly illuminated? The blinking is a bit distracting, even just knowing something is blinking if it’s not visible at the moment. Passengers don’t prefer a constant blink either.
Anyway, for now I’ll turn it off but love the concept of resting display off until an alert. Thanks for the amazing updates especially the BSM portion. At times when I’m not running a 3rd party app, it’s great to help keep the detector quiet.
Thanks.Show less373r
Suggestion
The app is fine and allows the user to not have to interact with the actual V1 device, but obviously Car Play compatibility would be ideal. I don’t believe that is a possibility as of now with Apple’s strict requirements, but hopefully soon. That being said, I would appreciate a setting in the app that allows the user to mute the V1 device by tapping on main part of the screen (rather than the speaker icon). It is way too distracting to keep clicking on such a small area of the screen. Quickly tapping a large portion of the phone screen would be more logical to me.Show lessBSzen27
Fix the app name.
Still waiting for that app name fix. 🙄
Why is this titled “, the app”? Like why add that to the app’s name? It doesn’t even fit properly under the app’s icon tile. That’s so stupid!SwankPeRFection
Still the best radar detector
I didn't buy V1 for the app, but the app works and does everything V1 says it does.

Pointless without CarPlay
This app has so much potential but is pretty much useless without the ability mirror the screen unto your car’s screen.
There is no necessity to have have your phone in a holder, clustering up your dash and distracting from the task of driving.
It really can’t be that hard to make it CarPlay compatible and have alerts show up on screen.Show lessTi317
Somewhat useful but it crashes and burns your battery
It is pretty pathetic when V1/2 can’t write an app that is reliable, does not burn your phone or battery.
Many 3rd party apps for the detector are magnitudes better.
The truth is that Valentine has been sleeping in their laurels for decades now.
This is the last time I spend time and money with their products.Show lessAR Querencia
Update it works better with Gen 2 but….
It is sad that the makers of the best radar Detector I have ever used, can’t update their app as well. Why can’t the app be CarPlay compatible?
The battery drain is not so significant now that many cars have wireless charge pads but the need to take your eyes of the road to use the app properly makes it dangerous to use.
We only use the app when someone is able to operate it from the passenger seat.
Enable CarPlay Mike! I’m sure it can be doneShow lessPoor implementation for motorcycles
Audio alert over BT is unreliable at best due to the app having to run at the same time. Volume is not loud enough to matter either, when it does work. Customer service at Valentine doesn’t seem to care and think they walk on air. The detector falses way more than a Redline 360c or a Uniden R3. I don’t get the cult following of Valentine at all.Show lessFreeridedeattle
Useful for firmware but needs app updates
The new over-the-air firmware updates are an excellent feature addition, but why so long without updates? Every new iPhone at least needs a new tweak to ensure the display is not spilling outside the screen, which it is now unfortunately. $500+ for a detector should certainly mean a somewhat frequently updated app. At least fix the common bugs.Show less
