Why no Apple CarPlay?

Bleach 3000 on

This seems to be a pretty good app except it be better if you could put it on the Apple CarPlay in your car. this way if you get a phone call, you can still see the alerts on your car display.

Only on thing

DoubleA2211 on

Love the app. Only thing keeping me from giving it 5 stars is no ability to change the screen colors. Other than that love it.

Interface is limiting

NiMiDesign on

United States

The speedometer and compass features on this app are very distracting. The creator of this app should take a page from Uniden and allow the option to minimize visual distraction when radar/laser updates are not happening. Uniden detectors come with a 'scanning screensaver' that can be turned off, atleast.

Bluetooth connectivity

Sir5list on

United States

The only reason this isn’t 5 star is Bluetooth constantly disconnects and reconnects, over and over. Update: thank you for your quick response Angela. All suggestions are in place as suggested. Distance from R4 to iPhone is less than a foot. Good Bluetooth signal strength. It also happens with both vehicles. Any other suggestions? Thank you

Indispensable

It is difficult to imagine that this app works so well with just its default settings that it made me believe my R4 wasn’t working properly. The truth is, I was getting a vast number of false alerts that this app helped to mute - while Keeping track in the log for later review. The only thing I haven’t figured out how to do it to use the map function in the app to go back and mark certain spots as false alerts. You can mark the type of alert, but there doesn’t seem to be away to mark as a false alert. Otherwise perfect. The in app settings config for the R4 is very helpful too.

Very Good App - well worth the $

This App takes the R4 to a new level. Love the customization options. As someone who operated a radar unit for 30yrs and knows what radar units are being used I was able to narrow down the alarms to just police radar. A suggestion for a future update, I would love the ability to auto MUTE the startup process. I don't need the radar detector making all those annoying announcements and beeps every time I start my vehicle.

Excellent app very well thought out! Use it everyday no glitches, thank you!

Good app

Duppyducky on

United States

After using the radar alone and trying the this app with it I was amazed how it helps turn downs false signal on normal roads. I do have one feature or bug I still can’t figured out. The city over speed warning comes on even when I turn it pass 60. I want to go faster than 60 and it does it on the toll road too. I have to reset to factory settings to get rid of it. I hope they can tell me how I can turn it off or and fix the bug even when I’m on the highway with speed faster than 60. Update: love this app as they provided instructions how to turn off the speed warning limit. 5star app!

Great app, definitely worth the $10, 1 small problem

Taco Gaming on

United States

The app works great, connects to my r4 fast and has a easy interface. Only problem for me is the advanced false assist, I live in a small town and the cops here still use k band. More times than not the app will “ghost” the cop car and act like it’s a Honda/acura. My solution would be able to tweak the advanced false assist, make it so your able to turn off ghost mode, while keeping the other options so you don’t have to completely turn false assist off.

Must have app

This app is a solid companion and a must.
