Uniden R/TACH vs FlockHopper

Take your driving to the next level with the R/TACH™ app! Seamlessly connect to your Uniden R/TACH radar/laser detectors, including models R4/R4w, R8/R8w, and R9/R9w, and effortlessly customize and fine-tune your detector settings. When you pair your Uniden R/TACH detector with the R/TACH app, you'll receive real-time alerts directly on your Device Screen. Stay ahead of potential threats with instant notifications and easily control alert events like Mute and Mute Memory from your screen. Drive with confidence using the Map Screen Mode, which provides location awareness for known red-light and speed camera spots. Mark User Locations on the map to get notified as you approach points of interest. Plus, enjoy Lifetime Free Updates to the red-light/speed camera location database with your Uniden detector. Connect your R4w, R8w, R9w detector to your home Wi-Fi network (e.g., in your garage) to conveniently update your detector’s firmware and red-light/speed camera database. Simply set up your home Wi-Fi SSID and Password in the app's Wi-Fi Settings to stay current with the latest updates. (Note: R4/R8 users will need to download the R/TACH Tool from Uniden.com for free firmware and database updates.)

FlockHopper shows you where license plate reader cameras are and routes around them. Every camera in the Deflock/OpenStreetMap database is on the map. Ask for directions and you get two routes — the fastest and one that avoids known cameras. Alerts warn you when one is nearby, whether you're navigating or just driving. Most of the app is free: directions, turn by turn navigation, camera alerts, background detection, CarPlay, Live Activity, Free Drive, saved places, Siri Shortcuts, and the full camera map. Users that upgrade to FlockHopper Pro get custom alert tones and timing, exposure stats, multi-stop routing, longer routes, offline maps, extra map styles, and live traffic. No account, no ads, no analytics, no trackers, no data sales. Route requests go to FlockHopper's own servers, and nothing is logged. Built by the developer behind maps.deflock.org, working closely with the DeFlock community on camera data. One person, no investors. There is a Tip Jar if you want to support the project. It doesn't unlock anything. Camera data is crowdsourced by DeFlock and the OpenStreetMap community. Coverage varies and won't always be current. FlockHopper reduces your exposure to surveillance networks but doesn't eliminate it. Drive safely. Not affiliated with or sponsored by any surveillance vendor.
