What's New in HighwayRadar

This update contains more bug fixes than anything else, and heat generation is way down too, but it wouldn't be a good update without some new features: Audio - New radar alert tones - Detailed TTS option for audio alerts - Warning when approaching hot zone on the heat map - New output options for "force to phone speaker" and "use phone connection over bluetooth" Radar Detectors - Band- and direction-specific muting - Photo radar support for Uniden and V1G2 devices - Uniden R9 detector support (anti-laser support coming soon) General - Mobile police camera alerts - iPad-specific app - Support for Spanish, German, French, Italian, Portuguese, and Chinese (Traditional)

User reviews

Great potential

This is pretty good for iOS, but I do miss a few things that I think highwayradar is well suited to implement. Because I use a V1G2, I don’t have auto lockouts built into the detector. This is my big complaint, I want to have auto lockouts while not having highwayradar on my screen. Another thing I would love to see which no other app for iOS is implementing would be automatically switching between logic modes based on speed or PSL.

Response from developer

Hey, thanks for the feedback! Lockouts do work in the background but this helped me find a bug that can prevent them from working correctly after the app has been backgrounded for a while. Speed- and/or PSL-based mode switching is pretty high on my to-do list, so you'll see that sooner than later. Thanks for validating that folks want it!

Superb tactical situation display!

Excellent community-based program that integrates into OEM car display by leveraging Bluetooth connection via phone and radar detector to car via CarPlay. Consolidates information suite into one display and reduces distractions by eliminating need to scan my eyes further across my car’s cabin. Excellent settings for enhancing awareness of nearby LE. A lot of love must have gone into this program. Will definitely be maintaining the modest subscription because this is a project worth supporting.

Solid cop detection app

Has some bugs related to UI but other than that, the app is very user friendly and should be used with a radar + waze. Highly recommend!

Response from developer

Thanks for the review and feedback! Would you mind shooting me an email (info@highwayradarios.com) to explain what UI bugs you're seeing so that I can address them? Thanks!

Meh, nice try.

Didn’t know what to expect, but I’m going to cancel after my week trial period.

I use a V1G2 this app locked up my V1 a couple times with a steady alert for miles, no radar around. Sometimes my V1 will alert and the app won’t show the alert. This app will alert police ahead, but the officer isn’t on the road I’m on . . Let’s say police on a side road when I’m on the freeway. The lockout didn’t work either. Just doesn’t seem ready to me, I’ll stick with Waze with the V1.

Response from developer

Sorry to hear it's not working well for you! For the record, you can change the alert method to "same street" if you only want alerts on your current street (rather than anywhere in front, or within a radius). The lockout bug is a known issue and is my top priority. Also worth noting that the app doesn't send any commands to the V1G2, so it's not capable of "locking up" the device (though I am continuing to work on BT connection reliability in general). Edit 6/29/26: v1.4 contains a number of improvements to V1G2 connection. Please give it a try and reach out to info@highwayradarios.com if you're still having problems so that we can get it fixed for you.

Saved me several times!

I’ve been using the app for a few months now and it’s been great. It saved me from several cops that Waze wasn’t showing! And now that it has CarPlay, it’s even better!
