Varia™ - Reviews, Revenue and Downloads - Apple App Store

Description

When paired with a compatible Garmin Varia device¹, the Varia app has the tools you need to ride with confidence. Using the Varia app, you can:

• Be alerted right on your phone when approaching vehicles are within 140 meters behind your bicycle.
• View color-coded alerts based on surrounding traffic: Green means you’re all clear, yellow means a vehicle is approaching, and red means a vehicle is coming at you quickly and you should take caution.
• Receive tone and vibration alerts for approaching vehicles even when you’re not looking at your phone.

With a compatible Garmin Varia Rearview Radar Camera, you can:

• Set the camera in the best position for capturing videos and photos.
• Record videos or take photos while riding with a simple button press on your phone.
• Automatically record videos of incidents and save the video footage with the Incident Recording feature.

By adding the Varia eRTL615 Rearview Radar Tail Light, you can:
• Configure and edit light mode configurations for your tail light.

Easy to Use
Pairing your Garmin Varia device with the app is quick and easy. Once you set it up, the Varia app will automatically recognize your device.

Even if you already have a Varia device paired with a compatible Garmin device or head unit, the Varia app provides additional awareness and peace of mind while riding.

¹ Compatible devices are the Varia RVR315 Rearview Radar, Varia RTL515 Radar Tail Light, Varia RCT715 Rearview Radar Camera and Varia eRTL615 Rearview Radar Tail Light.

Light Mode?

Just want to know what light mode the stupid smart light is set to. I can’t visually see the difference, nowhere in any of the numerous Garmin apps and settings does it indicate the current light mode.

Just above awful

Terrible connection issues. There has to be a better way to view footage. Takes hours to comb through footage and that’s only when it’s connected. Good luck 👎🏻

Busy streets

My rides take on some well traveled roads and the Varia consistently alerts me to approaching traffic. Love it.

Please show rider Speed/Distance stats

It would be really nice if this app could show speed distance, etc. It’s pretty obvious that Garmin is trying to push me to buy a separate cycling computer, but a lot of people want to ride with their phones for connectivity… until then 3 stars. Great hardware, mediocre app.

If you have multiple Varia you are out of luck!

I have multiple bikes with different Varia radars in them. The App does not allow you to connect to other Varias without unpairing the one you aren’t connected to first. Garmin should refactor the code to handle multiple paired Varias, that would up the app to 5 stars in my opinion. It is a pretty annoying flaw to have to remove a Varia and go into pairing mode every time I ride a different bike with someone else’s Varia. Make it like multiple bluetooth headphones paired to your phone and only connect to the powered device, or use NFC to connect to the active device.

best rear light ever

99.5% accurate 👍🏼👍🏼

Camera radar

Love the automatic on and off feature. A little quirky but works close to 100% of the time. The “take a clip” and “photo” feature is awesome. The Varia app software is steadily improving which is good to see. I’d say the unit & software is a 4.75 at this point. Garmin support is a big 10+. So overall I give it a 5+ rating.

Screen burn in

The app is phenomenal it works as it is supposed to. I used it for one day on my phone and I know I have an image burned into my screen.

Good app

App is very good for detecting vehicles, but the alerts could use improvement. Phone vibration alerts aren’t useful when the phone is mounted to my bike. Even the sound alert doesn’t work great in louder areas or in higher winds. It would be better if my watch vibrated or if the sound alert would go through earbuds to better hear it.

Must use in the streets

I love my Varia. Not only is it a great rear light but the radar is awesome. The Varia ap works great but i also pair it with my Edge and it alerts me and shows me how far the cars are. This is great for any road riding but specially in cities.
