Direction or speed go haywire. Go south it will display every direction. Works for half a minute. I phone Promax 14

Helpful app with a lot of features. Will help quiet your R8 with more options than the detector itself offers. Organization of functions and screen layout could be better. Would be nice to have more granular control over specific audio alerts that play over Bluetooth.

Feature request: my r8 always has power through mirror tap. Don't have accessories tap in this location unfortunately. Therefore, I have the r8 to auto shutdown after 1hour to conserve car battery. While I'm home during this 1 hour, the r8 app keeps connecting and disconnecting. Any possibility to avoid this?

I bought an R8 after owning a R3 for 3+years and I love my R3. After seeing the reviews on the 8 I decided to try it out. Noticed it was very chatty at first but after adjusting some settings it was much better. I found this app looking for Uniden items in the App Store. Noticed it was not free so originally was very hesitant to purchase this app. Best decision I ever made. I drive 4 hours a day round trip and it’s mostly highway I am on. I do speed enough to get pulled over 10 to 15 mph over. My R3 has saved me many times but was chatty. This new R8 with this app is silent the whole way home now. Friday night on the way home a highway patrol car was going in the opposite direction and I was getting a KA warning so I decided to slow down. About 2 miles for driving I passed him and was doing 5 over. Highly recommend this app. The price point is definitely worth it if you want a silent ride and ease of use.

Support this dev as this is a great app for those radar geek and novice alike. Even novices will get a better and smarter radar detector adding value to their investment.

I have now had the opportunity to spend some time with V1 Driver and R8 Companion (and DS1 Companion). They each are similar and each are different. But in the end, I choose Companion. It is a seemed, easy to understand, and intuitive partner to my R8. I never look at my phone screen and wonder..what is that reading or message. Sometimes with V1, and it’s a great app too, I just don’t understand what it is doing. As well, I find Companion far quieter. The ultimate judge is my wife. She hates radar detectors. Can’t stand the noise. Companion has resolved that.

I currently have the uniden R8 and I purchased this app in hopes of connecting it through Bluetooth. Well since I got the app, it has never connected to my R8 and I assume it’s a problem with my uniden R8 but I just felt like this app was not necessary for me to purchase. This was probably the most useless app I have purchased and the R8 works perfectly fine without it. But with that being said, I will never know the benefits of this app because it never connected, and yes, I red my owners manual and it still won’t connect. Must be my R8, I don’t know, but it works fine without the app so I assume I’m not missing out. I just wish it wasn’t whatever I paid for it.

Please optimize the apps display for iPhone 12 & 13 Mini

Hopefully the app will let us update the R8 from the App directly. Like check to see if there has been an update from Uniden, and download the update to the iPhone, then upload the update into the R8. That would be the cherry on the cake. Hey, one can hope. 🙏😎

Overall amazing app and has really helped to quiet my detector. The only complaint is that the physical mute button on the detector causes the app to disconnect via Bluetooth. HOWEVER, this lies with Uniden and not with the app developer. Hopefully Uniden is able to fix this sooner rather than later. Otherwise, the app is outstanding and I would highly recommend it to anyone who owns an R8 paired with an iOS device.
