## ARadar Reviews in United States

### ***** "Fantastic App! Fantastic 	Developer!"
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!
-- Craig in SoCal, 2024-12-09

### **--- "Will not Install"
The app will not install in my Apple Watch Series 8 GPS + Cellular
-- Carter2234, 2024-12-08

### ***** "Great app !"
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.
-- Theo van Loosen, 2024-10-01

### **--- "Battery Consumption Unsustainable"
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.
-- DoubleBag&amp;Tie, 2024-09-01

### ***** "Very useful app!"
Really nice integration with radar! The haptic feedback is quite a nice way to be alerted. The developer is very accessible and helpful! Thanks!
-- Aperson Reviewer, 2024-08-01

### ***** "Great value, great app"
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!!!
-- Johnny Nimbus, 2024-06-30

### ****- "Nice app needs better edit feature"
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.
-- Blue Spring Lake, 2024-06-16

### ***** "Excellent with Apple Watch"
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!
-- update needed for ios 8, 2024-04-06

### ***** "Exceptional App, Exceptional Developer!"
I cannot speak highly enough of Roberto&#039;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&#039;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&#039;ve truly transformed my experience with the app, and I couldn&#039;t be more grateful.
-- PeterB54, 2024-03-14

### ***** "Great for commutes"
This app is a great idea. I use my bike a lot for errands and having to take my phone on and off of it is one more thing to do before I can be on my way. It’s also risky to have it on the handlebars in the first place, and a bike computer is total overkill and yet another thing to charge and buy.

My only suggestion would be regarding the audio and vibration alerts. I do wish it was configurable or changed somehow to be more like the official Varia app, where there is a clear alert for someone approaching you going very fast, and also an alert for when there is no longer anything on the radar.
-- parshimers, 2024-03-07

### ***** "Best cycling app with Radar connectivity"
Roberto made number of revisions very promptly to address a feature I was requesting.  In my opinion it’s the best and simplest app (the most inexpensive as well) to use with Apple Watch that is integrating Apple cycling and Radar into one package.
-- SG Texas, 2024-02-16

### ****- "Crash loop fixed"
Update: developer was very responsive and helped me diagnose the issue I was having with the radar unit not paired. Seems to be working as expected now and I’ll update this review with more impressions later!

Prior review: Just tried it on a ride after purchasing and it crashes on startup. watchOS 10.3 ultra, all other apps closed, garmin rtc715.
-- MacDaddy0229, 2024-02-06

### ***** "App doesn’t seem to stay on"
Started bike workout turned on app and it worked perfectly for about 30 seconds then turned off watch return to home opened app again, and it did the same thing. Not sure what’s going on. and why it won’t stay on.

Emailed Roberto and he got back within 15 minutes. Turns out Apple doesn’t let 2 apps record workout data at the same time and I had the outdoor bike workout app on the watch running when I turned on the ARadar app so it was turning off in favor of the watch bike app. Now I just use the ARadar app and it amazing!
-- Secureconn, 2023-12-14

### ***** "Excellent APP and great Support"
I use an e-bike and my phone is dedicated to be the cycle controller. I needed a watch app that interfaced with the garmin radar and provided vehicle notifications. This app performs this function very well. Also, I  had a question about the operation of the app and Roberto was very responsive(responded within an hour). Thumbs up for customer support!
-- Bill R57, 2023-11-19

### *---- "Couldn’t get this to work"
The app consistently shows that it can’t connect to my radar while my Garmin Varia app has no problem connecting
-- Tony, the annoyed, 2023-10-06

### ***** "Fantastic!"
Probably the best watch app I own!
-- Hwbdhsnu112233445566778 i, 2023-09-29

### *---- "Pleasantly surprised !"
After moving the Garmin Varia to a saddle bag, it wasn’t responsive as before so I tried this Apple Watch app &amp; to my surprise. It’s very responsive &amp; convenient since my watch is already on my wrist.
Now it’s more responsive than Garmin very own app. I also like the sounds &amp; numbers on my watch letting me know, how many cars have to pass before I look back to check that I’m clear to go
-- Poorly designed 3, 2023-08-24

### *---- "Not working"
Don’t buy this doesn’t work
-- Gio.so, 2023-08-21

### ***** "Amazing App!!!"
Works flawlessly! It’s a must if you have the Varia and an Apple Watch
-- Chocolatepager, 2023-01-24

### ***** "Great app"
I wear an Apple Watch all the time and cycle every day. One of my bikes has a display that works with Garmin Varia. Thee other does not. I tried to wear a garmin watch but was not satisfied. This app provide the notifications without issue. It also works seamlessly with the activity app. I initially has a few connection issues and the developer responded immediately and worked with me to get the issue resolved. If you want the best connection to Varia with the Apple Watch this is the way to go Thanks Roberto!
