This is what people are saying after using DS1 Companion™ - See what all the fuss is about, try it for yourself! "A Radar Detector miracle" "This is really incredible. I bought my DS1 a couple years ago, as a placeholder for Theia. Anyway…I never even bothered to update the DS1 because these things are a pain when you have a Mac. But then somehow I stumbled across the Companion. Say what? It does what? OK, update on DS1 required, did it, downloaded this and have used it for days so far. It’s like a miracle." - e "ESSENTIAL to the Radenso" -a "Great Companion to DS1" -m If you liked DS1 Companion before this release, you are going to LOVE it after! Spread the word, it is only going to get better. If you have an idea / suggestion you would like included in a future update, please visit https://crackedpixel.com/contact-us to let us know. Thanks!

Awsome

Love it I have never got one ticket yet . Knock on Wood .

Excellent app.

This is better and more functional than most OEM apps. Easy to use, works in CarPlay, collects no data. Worth every penny.

Don’t get this radar detector if you have an iPhone

Could not find the app to connect my radar detector to my iPhone everything suggested I get a third-party and pay $14 for it said I could control and do a lot of features with it. Once I downloaded it hooked it up tried to update the firmware and it says I can’t do that with an iPhone. Don’t get this radar detector if you use iPhone.

Response from developer

The app does not update the firmware. It checks for a new version and just notifies you so you are aware of a new firmware. Radenso requires you to use their update tool to install the firmware. You need to go to the Radenso site and follow the instructions on downloading and updating your detector. Please reconsider your one star review as firmware updates are not part of the app’s listed functionality and Radenso doesn’t allow 3rd parties to have this functionality. Thanks.
