Amazing for a V1G1!
I wanted to originally throw my V1G1 away due to false alerts. It hardly makes a sound now. This app is plug and play and works with CarPlay! I now love my detector!!! Thank you!
Excellent RD Support
I really love this app for my V1G2, as far as IOS goes this is the best app you can get for a Valentine radar detector. Absolutely recommend and well worth the cost.
Great update‼️
The new update with CarPlay, you knocked it out of the park. You covered all the bases and the overlay looks amazing. Kudos!!!
Vertical vs horizontal
It will not horizontal format which would be a little less conspicuous.
The Best!
Simply great! Always use it as soon as I’m in my automobile
Car play support!
Wonderful app. And car play support puts it over the top. I’d give it 6 stars if that was possible
Just the best‼️
Best app for Valentine 1. Keeps getting better with every new update. Kudos‼️
Great App for the V1 Gen2
I have been using radar detectors for over 40 years, and a Valentine One since introduction in 1992/1993.
V1 Companion unlocks the full potential of the V1 Gen2.
This is an excellent and easy to use App. I highly recommend V1 Companion !!

Second app from this developer
I previously had the R8 Companion app and loved it. So when I changed radar detectors, I of course purchased the new companion app. The ability to spot lock alerts and have voice notifications for alerts, is great. I would like to thank the developer for taking the time to create some great user friendly apps.

Response from developer
Thanks for your support and kind words! A new free update will be available the first week of June that will have a bunch of new features including full navigation (in preparation for CarPlay support) and an alternate new alert screen presentation that also supports landscape mode amongst many other new features.
The best experience, full stop
Once you've used this app, you will actually like your V1. After a couple weeks of learning mode detecting false positives, it only makes noise when there is an actual threat source.
Needs work-Feb 2026 review update
Update 2/2026:
Would LOVE the ability to set volume increases based on speed. As is, alerts can be too loud or too quiet.
Really don’t know or care why Valentine 1 doesn’t buy this app and sell it as their own.
This app transforms my V1G2 from unusable in city to works really good.
Either way, I’m grateful to have controls and love that the app has consistently been updated.
Looking forward to the increased functionality and features!

Non stop disconnection on my V1Gen2 with iPhone 16
Excellent! CarPlay???
I have been using V1 Companion for a few weeks now and I think it’s great! What could make it greater though? The only thing that I would suggest is possibly making it CarPlay compatible so that my phone doesn’t have to be on the whole entire time. But great job!
Response from developer
Thanks for your support and review. CarPlay is on the list, but will require Apple to loosen their strict CarPlay requirements. Basically you have to implant a navigation app to qualify. We want this as much as anyone, so we will keep pushing for it. -Mark
Game changer
Works great. Wish there were more features but for what it is def awesome
Great app
Newest version has unreadable options for photo radar on the iPhone pro max. Also a CarPlay app or widget would be much appreciated! Great work keep it up.
V1G2 must have!
This application was great before, but with the new software release (release date 9/25/25) it is incredible! I sure coincidence, I updated the app while in Santa Monica, California departing to the Santa Ynez Valley. The features work like they did before, but there’s an addition of a bar near the top of the screen that shows the confidence percentage of signals detected. Every time I got an X or K band, it displayed a confidence level of zero. But as soon as I got a Ka signal, I checked the screen and it said 100% confidence. Sure enough, about 3/4 of a mile in front of me was a highway patrol unit on the side of the road running radar. This occurred multiple times over the course of my hour drive.
It would be nice to have the app work in landscape format as well, but other than that one small complaint, this gets a strong 5/5.
If you have a V1 G2, you need this app!.

Bluetooth Connectivity is Reprehensible
Really? My IPhone 16 pro max is less than 19 unobstructed inches away from my V2 and it indicates that the Bluetooth signal strength is poor? It continues to lose Bluetooth and reconnect throughout the drive. I’m sorry I purchased this app. There are better ones out there.
Feature request
Please add an option to silence laser alerts at a designated speed.
Amateur UX
this is as scrappy as it gets folks. i’m gonna give this app as much of a chance as I can, but man, developers need to hire somebody who knows how to design a user interface. It is horrendous. sorry to be blunt, but it has to be said.
Almost there!
A great app that adds a ton of functionality to the V1 Gen 2. The logging and real time data are fantastic. The ONLY thing it needs is porting to car play so my phone can sit tucked out of the way. Any way we can get this added?
