HR Cries Wolf!
High occurrence of false alerts made me stop using the app. I only see police about 50% or less when alerted.
Worth the money, but, here’s a personal nag.
I used to go use this app when I had an Android device and once I saw it on TestFlight, I was very excited as the app performed wonderfully on Android and even on iOS, it was (and don’t get me wrong, still is) amazing. I was going to originally knock a star off but a personal nag isn’t worth that.
The damn subscription, lol. From someone who knows about development and system administration, yeah, this **** isn’t cheap. I get the feeling because I start to cry every time I look into dedicated servers and other things of the sorts. Expensive.
The amount of information the app provides now compared to the early days is insane but my only issue is that dang subscription. I’m all for supporting the devs that put their time and effort into making something wonderful and I’m not even upset about it, but what I am slightly upset about is how it was presented. I was able to use it once, maybe twice (within an hour) before the app said “Give me money.” (Not literally but it felt that way)
Maybe this is more of an Apple-resolving thing than dev-resolving but knowing up front that the app was going to require a subscription before pushing it in my face would’ve been a bit more favorable. Give me about 24 hours before asking for a subscription so I can at least gauge if I want to subscribe through Apple because personally, I hate subscriptions by Apple. There’s always some sort of billing delay or they charge and then I owe them next time I download something. Personal issue, I know. Either way, it’s a great app so far. Hopefully it gets to a point where you figure out a lifetime subscription price.

Not enough support
Missing a lot of things that android has, directions don’t work either. Wish sharing keys worked
Paired with R8W
Works !
Lifesaver
Genuinely has saved me many times
Great app !
This is a great add on app for your radar/laser shifter system. Must have!
Phenomenal— Keep up the good work!
Paired with my Uniden R8w has made driving spectacular! From Jersey to PA to NY to Niagara Falls to Toronto and back — spotted every hidden police spot on! Thank you! No need for a lengthy review.
Review
I might just be using the beta version thats why its not showing the police helicopter how do i download the actual updated app version?
Great app
It does lag a little bit but after that it’s pretty awesome
Stopped working within a day.
Working on the way to work. Then on the way home about halfway into drive it’s asking me to pay 4.99 a month for CarPlay? Junk app, went with R4 companion for $10 lifetime. Sick of these companies baiting and switching, then charging a monthly fees.
This is awesome
I have been looking for an app like this for years. Thank you for making this on iOS 👍
The best app on the App Store
$15 a year is a a steal for this
Amazing App
The premium is super worth it. Saved me so many times combining it with my Uniden R7. I just with I could connect the R7 to the app but other than that this app is awesome. Highly recommend.
“Free”
I’m all for supporting developers for well made apps, but I do not like being lured in with dark patterns. The app is free on the App Store, and it lets you use it for a week or two. Then it hits you with a pop up to pay, nway to get around it. Just make the app $20 or something, why on earth does a map app need a subscription?!?

Great App and Development
This app is very useful especially for the earlier alerts and heat maps with risk scores. I use an Escort detector and find it quite helpful even without the full detector integration. Paid version is worth it and developer keeps adding features.
Amazing app, would be great to have apple watch compatibility if possible
Using for 2 years now, the premium is 100% worth it without a doubt. Genuinely helped me avoid tickets for a very long time in combination with a r7. More information is always better in my opinion. Probably a niche request, but it would be nice to have an apple watch version. It is hard to use on a motorcycle and it would be nice if there was a simplified display for apple watches. I recommend this to literally everyone I know.

Response from developer
Thanks for the kind words Arian! I've considered building an Apple Watch companion app before but hadn't considered the motorcycle use case. If you're up for it, shoot me an email at info@highwayradarios.com with more details on what you're imaging.
Pay eww
Now u have to pay
New to this app
I don’t know how I haven’t ever heard of this app but it’s great, I guess it’s pretty new on iPhone ios. But so far so great. I just downloaded it two days ago but it’s been amazing so far. The heat map feature has been spot on in my town! Every spot where radar was being read was spot on so far. It doesn’t support my radar which is a cobra RAD 480i from forever ago. I soon want to switch to the uniden r7 or r8. The only thing that kind of sucks is when using Apple car play I can’t split screen HighwayRadar and music but that’s not a huge deal. I can easily switch back and forth it’s just it would be easier if we could split screen it. Glad I found this app though. I did the family plan and shared it. When you get the family plan you have to already be in a family plan on Apple and have family sharing on

This needs someone to advertise on social media
This has everything I could have ever imagined would be handy. County notifications, plane warnings, even the band of radar used in an area. If someone started making TikTok’s talking about this it would blow up. I run a social media network, hit me up!
My Go To App
I’ve tried several apps. HighwayRadar has proven to be highly reliable. I’m amazed at how many people must be using this app to produce accurate and timely crowd-sourced location reports everywhere I’ve driven in multiple states. The display format provides everything I need at a quick glance so I’m not distracted. It even tracks aerial survalence.
