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.

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!

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.

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!

Keeps getting better

This app keeps getting better with every update. Worth every penny of the subscription.

Family plan??

My girlfriend has bought the family plan under her IOS account, and it states that that should allow me to be under the same subscription, but there’s no explanation of how to connect this in the book or on the forum. Is this feature implemented yet? EDIT— read through the comments on here and now I see that we must be under the same apple family sharing plan. Leaving this up so that others can see. Recommend making this info easy to see in the app description as well as on RDF. Thanks!

Thanks a ton! Glad you were able to find it. I'll figure out how to add this info in the app somewhere. Great suggestion! Not sure that the average user knows what RDF (rdforum.org) is, haha. It's been discussed there but I can make it more visible so that a Google search might turn it up.

Subscription only?

Was a beta tester for a long time, and this is a great app. I personally hate subscriptions though, and am sad to see thats the only option.

Thanks for beta testing! Ongoing costs to keep the app running mean that a one-time purchase isn't financially viable. I've considered a lifetime purchase but haven't come up with numbers that I'm comfortable with. I don't love subscriptions either, but I do my best to deliver as much value as possible in order to make it more than worth it (especially when weighed against the costs involved in getting a ticket).

Great app

Love this app; good integration with radar devices and other data sources; very useful. Needs CarPlay!

Thanks! CarPlay is on the way, just want to make sure that it's working smoothly before releasing it. Edit 5/16/26: Just editing to let you know that CarPlay is live in the latest version now!

Consider bringing a lifetime purchase option

Good app, but maybe if there was a lifetime purchase option I would stick with it.

Thanks for the feedback! I've considered a lifetime option but the math hasn't worked out to a number that I feel good about presenting as an option. I'll revisit and see if this is something that I can make work, as I'm sure that plenty of people would like the option.

Uniden R4

Been using it since the beta launched years ago now. Absolutely love it, well worth the price and I can’t wait for potential car play implementation

If you'll email me at info@highwayradarios.com I'm happy to help you get it working. The app does connect to radar detectors, though some are a bit finicky with how they need to be connected to various apps.

GPS lockouts

Love the app, but will be using V1 Companion until GPS lockouts are added to HwR. Do you have a ballpark estimate when this will be added? Thanks!

GPS lockouts are currently in the beta build and will be launched to the App Store in the next version. It's coming ASAP!

R8W + HighwayRadar = Confident Fun

I’ve been using this app since its beta was available in TestFlight. I have a Uniden R8W which I pair with in the app. Don’t get me wrong, there are some quirks! However, after reading the detailed documentation for HighwayRadar, I realized I was the issue :P it’s a great app and when paired with a quality radar detector, it’s well worth the money.

Thanks so much for the review (and for testing in the beta)! I'm glad it's working so well for you. If you're up for it, shoot me an email and let me know what felt quirky or incorrect so that I can make the app easier to use for everyone.

Finally!

I was a Beta tester for 2 years and then it ended a few months ago. I felt lost without the app after regularly using it. So glad it is finally ready for the public. It is a great complement to my radar and my laser system. Much more effective than Waze.

Response from developer

Thanks for the review! Escort does not allow third-party developers to connect to their devices, so there are no plans for Escort support at this time.

Fantastic app

There have been several times this app saved me from a ticket. It has shown cops that weren’t on Waze or Google Maps.

Money Grab

I feel it’s ridiculous in order to get a free trail you still have to put in your banking information to use the app, that’s pretty sketchy compared to every other app. How do you expect this app to make it anywhere. So unfair should be free of charge.

Love it! I was a beta tester!

This app is all in one for having cloud alerts plus your on-screen radar alerts. I can’t wait for the ALPR alerts to be in the main app like they were at the very end of the beta.
