  • Useless except for upgrading software

    It’s an app without purpose… you have a V1, so why do you need to see it on your phone? It works horribly when using CarPlay. If there’s a radar signal it routes the audio back to your phone! But the V1 is already making noise. It’s just pointless. If it had any gps based tracking of common threats or nuisance alarms… or anything useful beyond updating the V1 firmware/software… maybe it would be worth using.

  • Disfunctional

    I turned off the K and X band in the app. Sent to my unit. Didn’t actually do it.
  • Useful but imperfect

    I love the idea of having this App, mainly for the upgrade function. It is VERY TAXING ON YOUR PHONE BATTERY though if you allow “background” functions to be on, especially when you’re not even in your car. The App appears to just beat itself up trying to connect to the V1 when you don’t even need it to.

    I’m going to relocate the V1 on my dash so that I can reach it and see it clearly without needing the App to be on. I’ll use the App occasionally to check for updates but that’s it. If this issue is fixed, I’ll use it again. Great idea though.

  • Just ok

    It gets the job done but very basic functions. You should be able to customize the audio messages rather than a bunch of beeps. And when it loses the connection to the V1, there should be an audible message given. Instead you just see it in demo mode. Shouldn’t be hard to add these features and conveniences.

  • Simple and Works

    I’ll let others leave detailed reviews but I a feature I would love to see for this app is integration with Apple Car Play. It would be awesome to have the V1 display on my car’s entertainment head unit.
  • Useless for getting audio to the phone

    This app has to be in the foreground of all apps -> and the phone must be unlocked <- for it to send audio to the phone.

    OK fine. Set things up with it in the foreground and the phone unlocked. If something else happens on the phone that steals the foreground, this app goes silent without warning and never comes back.

    It’s probably fine for seeing a bunch of visual detail about nearby signals, but it’s both useless and misleading in terms of audio.

    Come on Valentine, the one guy who develops V1Driver got this right. Can’t you?

  • Fix the app name.

    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!
  • Background Mode Setting?

    Does anyone know what Background Mode Setting is ?

    What is ITB?

    Thanks
  • Please add CarPlay support

    This app works well but one feature add to make this a solid 5 star review would be for the app to support CarPlay so that the display would be presented on the in car entertainment screen.
  • It’s an OK app but...

    The display is easy to use and see. However, some of the controls are hard to use while driving... the mute button is small, why not allow me to just tap the arrow to mute (or anywhere in the arrow screen). I had a 3rd party app that I purchased that did this, but it stop supporting the newer iOS.
