Worth every penny. ### 1/5 — Don’t get this radar detector if you have an iPhone *2026-05-03* 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. **Developer response:** 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. ### 5/5 — Firmware update *2026-01-22* Firmware updated works well. **Developer response:** 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. Please reconsider your one star review as firmware updates are not part of the app’s listed functionality. Thanks. ### 2/5 — Firm were updates *2025-12-26* Firm were updates not available, hope they fix this **Developer response:** The app does not update the firmware.

I can’t even keep it on because it keeps on playing the same sequence over and over user point store user point delete deleted user point stored user point delete deleted if I could get some help, I’d be nice. **Developer response:** Howdy! Please reconsider your review. This app is not created by Radenso and we have nothing to do with what you are experiencing with the detector. It sounds like your detector needs to go in for repair. The app doesn’t do anything with the user points. Please update your app review as we rely on these to promote the app. Thanks! -Mark ### 5/5 — Night and Day Difference! *2025-06-20* I don’t remember ever writing a review for an app in all the years owning an IOS device.

The customization is awesome and the database of lockouts is the best! Great job, great layout and great functionality.
