ARadar

Seems like a good alternative to a dedicated bike gps

This app is fantastic and even better than the native app for the Varia Radar Taillight. (That app will only work on your phone.) I had a special use case in that I wanted to mount my Apple Watch on my handlebars so I could always see the screen without taking my hands off the handlebars. However, once removed from the wrist, the display would time out and go dark after 70 seconds. Over email the developer helped me figure out the problem and how to disable wrist detection on the Apple Watch. Now the display stays on throughout the entire ride so I can always see how many cars are back. Roberto, the developer, provides the best support going way above and beyond what most other developers provide. Milione di grazie Roberto!

The app will not install in my Apple Watch Series 8 GPS + Cellular

I’ve been using the app for maybe a month now. I use it on my watch series 8 without my cellphone present. The app works great in current format , and the developer is SUPER responsive ( emails me back within minutes ) about making changes you want to see to improve the App. If you use an Apple Watch , and ride with a bike radar , for $6 this app is a serious bargain and no brainer and he will only continue to refine and improve the app.

I activated my Garmin RCT715 + ARadar for a 50-mile bike ride. My Apple Watch was at 100% charge at the start. It was under 20% at the end. I can’t risk running the Apple Watch battery all the way to 0%, which would have happened on a 4-hr ride. I am abandoning the app. $6 down the drain.

Really nice integration with radar! The haptic feedback is quite a nice way to be alerted. The developer is very accessible and helpful! Thanks!

I recently got the Garmin bike radar for safety. This wonderful app makes it possible to use the radar without having to mount the phone on the bike or having a dedicated bike computer to pair with the radar. It does its job well and, thankfully, is not a subscription app. The one time payment is very reasonable. The developer is capable, friendly and very responsive. 10/10!!!

Great app, easily paired to my Apple Watch. Not sure why it recorded my last ride as a walk. Typically I don’t walk at 17 mph. I can go back and edit that it was a ride rather than a walk. Would be nice if I could set bike ride as a default. Well worth the six bills for radar detection and alarm to my watch. June 16 update review. Talked with the developer who was very responsive. Reset a few items on my Apple Watch and works much better.

Super pleased with the app. First test ride today with watch paired to rvr315 - easy no fuss pairing , just turn on the radar , select ARadar on the watch and you are ready to roll . It works great , with my side mirror all I need is the haptic alert on the watch. When I got back I adjusted watch haptic setting to “prominent “ just so it’s very obvious , I rarely ride in roads with a lot of traffic so this works for me. update 4/6/24: affer downloading the new version i experienced a couple of glitches - roberto super helpful and issues promptly resolved . thanks!

I cannot speak highly enough of Roberto's dedication and expertise. Initially, I reached out to him seeking clarification on how the app integrates with Garmin Varia 315. Roberto not only promptly addressed my inquiries but also went above and beyond to accommodate my specific needs. As someone with hearing difficulties, I expressed the importance of having a haptic feedback option for car proximity alerts. Without hesitation, Roberto sprang into action. Over the following weeks, he diligently crafted a solution that surpassed my expectations. Not only did he introduce vibrations to the Apple Watch interface, but he also integrated a visual alert on my iPhone. Now, with a subtle tap on my wrist, I can effortlessly glance at my iPhone for confirmation – a truly ingenious enhancement. I must commend Roberto's patience and willingness to iterate, not to mention deal with me as his “test dummy”. His commitment to perfecting the app was unwavering. Thank you, Roberto, for your exceptional work and unwavering dedication. You've truly transformed my experience with the app, and I couldn't be more grateful.
