### 4/5 — Cobra 700i

*2025-02-03, version 5.1.36*

Works great

### 4/5 — Connection

*2025-01-26, version 5.1.36*

It won’t let me connect my radar to my phone for some reason and I keep trying all these methods but it won’t work

### 2/5 — What Bluetooth?

*2024-11-02, version 5.1.36*

Was so happy when the radar detector finally arrived. Much to my disappointment when the camera connects, the stereo stops playing and it will never connect to my phone through Bluetooth. I have tried many different ways to get it to work but if it connects, it only stays connected a short period of time and then just disconnects itself.

### 1/5 — Junk!!!!!!!

*2024-06-05, version 5.1.34*

Junk App. Downloaded to use and fine tune my cobra radar, however after first installing and going to make my account a message appears and says something went wrong. Tried uninstalling and reinstalling multiple times as well as shutting my phone off and turning back on.

### 1/5 — Worst thing ever

*2024-05-20, version 5.1.34*

I downloaded this app so I wanted to try something different and he won’t even let me register. It won’t let me do anything at all one star view I get out of me.

### 2/5 — COBRA RADAR

Having a hard time to connect iPhone app to Radar

### 1/5 — PLEASE UPDATE APP!!!!!

*2024-02-23, version 5.1.34*

Literally been waiting months for months for an update to this app that thousands of people use. It doesn’t matter if you sign up for the subscription service or not the app works no different. So idk maybe their just taking honest people’s money because they can and don’t care. I mean, genius business plan.

### 1/5 — Useless

*2025-09-10, version 5.1.36*

This app does absolutely nothing. I can not figure out where to go to see my videos from my very expensive Cobra “radar” camera… that’s not a radar, and doesn’t show location either!!

### 1/5 — App is Constantly Crashing

*2025-09-02, version 5.1.36*

The app only stays open for a few seconds, then crashes.

### 1/5 — The app crashes I can’t even open it

*2025-04-06, version 5.1.36*

Trash

### 1/5 — Not a useful app

*2025-03-05, version 5.1.36*

This could possibly be helpful if the app would integrate with the on screen display in my 2017 Honda CRV. Not going to pay for the app.

### 1/5 — Junk

*2025-02-03, version 5.1.36*

Everytime I try and register it says “something went wrong”

### 1/5 — Radar

*2025-01-05, version 5.1.36*

Doesn’t connect to device

### 1/5 — No funciona

*2024-12-15, version 5.1.36*

Imposible crear o registrar una cuenta.

### 1/5 — Horrible useless app

*2024-12-14, version 5.1.36*

Wish I could give a negative rating. App is completely useless unless you like wasting time and money

### 1/5 — Won’t recognize subscription. Service errors

*2024-08-23, version 5.1.35*

Says the subscription I used when purchasing the device is up. Paid the 5 dollars for a month and nothing happened. Still said subscription expired. Refunding via Apple now. Will connect to 480 detector but will show service error in app and not properly load when it says “continue”. Piece of junk app that stole my money. Not even remotely useful as a secondary map or speed watcher

### 1/5 — 👎🏻

*2024-07-06, version 5.1.34*

Purchased monthly subscription.  They charged me but shows expired after I contacted apple 7 days ago.  Took my money though.

### 5/5 — Best navigation app

*2024-10-19, version 5.1.36*

I’ve used the Bluetooth device cobra radar in my vehicle and the app even though I couldn’t connect the app to the device. I still think this is the best radar/navigation app ever.

Intelligently accurate piece of technology

### 5/5 — Accurate/reliable

*2023-11-29, version 5.1.34*

I have a speed radar detector I used it for everyday while I’m doing food delivery very useful till now I’m not receiving any violations on the road because of that I’m very thankful to cobra speed radar detector

### 5/5 — iradar 480

*2023-11-16*

I absolutely love this dector the amount of control you have is wild. I downloaded the iradar app and connected my phone through bluetooth and can set the range strength and the brightness I can set the alarm to automatically mute when it gets a radar signal or laser.  I like how you can set on the map if there is a speed trap being done or a accident there is just so much with this radar.  once I am done playing with the app I mainly now just drive if it goes off I check my speed it keeps me from going over is what I really like because this thing picks up like a mile away im not kidding so I definitely have enough time to make sure my speed is right. you want be disappointed with this radar detector it is the best in this price range.
