Network alerts restored and improved

User reviews

Abandoned by developer - too bad was decent

Overall this is a decent app and works well. However setting a network alerts minimum speed does not work - anything above 0 mph makes it no longer function. Also, if you have multiple detectors, it will only reconnect to the last one - despite having both stored. Wrote the developer on these issues and didn’t even get a courtesy response, hence the lower star rating. Maybe the one item will never work and maybe the second is by design, who knows, at least it would have been nice to be acknowledged after taking the time to send a write up and screen shots.

Castrated my V1, blocks real radar

This is an old app with an undeserving reputation. There is no instructional support, just some random poorly recorded videos that really don’t explain anything. There are pop up explainers for each setting, but they are poorly written and ambiguous. There are a ton of settings that leave you with a ridiculous learning curve and too many variables to manage. The default settings are so aggressive that they mute everything, INCLUDING REAL RADAR! Even after killing all the automute settings it still identifies real radar as a false, which can be verified by the location pins it stores. This totally undermines the reasons of having a detector. Those who praise its silence are missing the point of the full situational awareness of the V1 and are likely also missing real threats. Total waste of money.

Waste of Money

This app is a waste of money. Half the features don’t work and support is ABSOLUTELY non-existent. I guess the guy made his money and doesn’t care anymore.

Helpful to silence some stationary repeat sources but it does not silence many of stationary radar signals

Bluetooth doesn’t stay connected

Constantly drops Bluetooth connection for no reason.

Horribly bloated user interface.
