Used to run in the background no problem and duck your audio to play the car alert. The app now is only in background maybe 50% of the time and no longer supports reducing media sound just for the alert. Much less functional. Would also be great it if played an all clear tone, the way my wahoo head unit does when cars aren’t detected anymore. The rapidly approaching vehicle alert sounds too similar to the normal alert. -- kpd33rd, 2026-03-02 ### **--- "Worked better in prior version" On February 18th the app updated and it now overpowers my music so that I can barely hear it any time the app is on. If I turn the volume up, I can hear the music, but the traffic notification sounds are unacceptably loud. Not sure if there is any way to adjust the volume of the notifications, but it should not take control of my iPhone sound level. Haven’t used the radar on my last two rides because of this software update. 😢 -- User12345678abcd, 2026-02-22 ### ***** "No stress" I absolutely consider my Varia a riding necessity. It takes the stress out of my rides and I don’t have to keep looking to see if a vehicle is approaching from the rear. -- Level-Headed, 2026-02-21 ### *---- "Lower volume" Ever since the update when the radar detects a vehicle, it lower the volume to give an alert. The volume stays lowered for 2 to 10 minutes until shooting back up to regular levels. -- Zraja101, 2026-02-06 ### ***** "The best app of 2025" This is the best app of 2025, and every single year into the future. Not only can this program/device/application notify users of possible accidents, or getting hit— it can also notify other gps units in cars. A true life saver. This program has one “best of” for the next decade. It also pairs well with a bicycle gps unit (“lights off” feature). -Austin -- Luckin22, 2025-10-14 ### ***-- "So good and so bad" The radar and the head unit display are great but the camera and its phone app are horrible. The radar on my wahoo works flawlessly. But the wonky connection to download photos and the random “failed to delete” are infuriating. -- slackorama, 2025-10-12 ### *---- "Varia RCT rocks, but app is terrible" I use my Varia with a Wahoo Roam, and it’s fantastic in every way. I can then upload video using a usb c cable to my computer. But then there’s the app. The app is so slow it’s useless. Good thing you won’t need it, if you have a computer and a compatible gps. -- Aloyzius6, 2025-09-14 ### ***-- "Needs sounds customization!" I can’t hear the sounds as well as I’d like. If you allowed us to choose our own sound files, we could select better tones. -- slartibarphast, 2025-08-08 ### ***** "Multiple sclerosis ride 2025" I just bought the Varia for the Multiple Sclerosis ride across Minnesota because we ride on some big roads. We also ride on some quiet country roads, but the few cars that ride these roads are moving fast. I ride a road bke and paired the varia with my iphone and my garmin triathlon watch. It worked awesome! I knew when the cars were coming on the country roads so i could move to the edge of the road. On busy roads , likewise you knew when cars were coming. The varia made a clear visual and sound ( on my phone) AND the visual was also on my tri watch!! When all the cars were past it gave a softer “all clear” chime so yiu knew yiu could move away from the edge of the road. Battery life lasted well past my 5 hour rides and was quickly charged at night from my power pack. It really helped me feel safer and i could enjoy the long days of riding much more. -- d. a. kloss, 2025-07-26 ### ***** "Safety" To know that a vehicle is coming behind you is comforting. I am 82 years old and Electric vehicles don’t always make enough noise for me to hear so this helps me keep safe. Thanks -- kemano56, 2025-05-30 ### ***** "A great safety tool" I am much more relaxed riding in traffic -- jsg2833, 2025-05-09 ### ****- "Car image does not move - revised review" I have been trying for months to get this app to work correctly with a garmin RTL515 on my bike. The little car icon shows up on the screen but does not move as the car approaches and passes. But if the radar picks up more than one car they will all move up the screen correctly. Garmin sent a replacement device but that made no difference. So it is a bug in the app or its connectivity to the device. I’ve tried moving the device up and down on the seat stem. Even holding it in my hand. Nothing makes any difference P S. I finally figured out why I had this problem. I have Bluetooth enabled hearing aids which would bring the “bell” of a coming car directly into my hearing aids. Somehow that high jacked the car image which would just stand still unless another car was picked up without triggering the “bell” warning. Once I disabled my hearing aids from Bluetooth everything works perfectly. It would be nice if this could be fixed so I could ride my bike with disabling my blue connection to my hearing aids -- Chetlee., 2025-05-04 ### ***** "Unbelievably Helpful" I can no longer use a helmet rear view mirror due to a spot of macular degeneration in my left eye and handlebar mirrors work poorly for a number of reasons. A friend has a Garmin radar unit and likes it. I thought I’d give it a try. Now I won’t ride without it. Varia connects effortlessly to my RV315. The interface is simple to use and easy to see in all conditions. Varia is as important for safety as wearing a bike helmet as far as I’m concerned. -- Glen Bledsoe, 2025-03-31 ### ***** "Barton Frankel" Great app but only on radar light on it at a time. I have several radar lights -- Bartfrankel, 2025-03-15 ### *---- "Filled with bugs, slow as molasses" Incredible hardware, but for $400 for a product there are 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. -- Azz3879, 2025-03-09 ### ****- "Essential for long rides with headphones" This app really expands the use of a radar to include listening to music on long rides. It also is perfect for winter when your ears are are covered and you can supplement the head-end unit’s beeps. One thing to make it perfect would be to enable multiple radar units to be connected. I have a second radar unit connected to my commuter e-bike and have to disconnect and re-pair when switching from commutes to fitness rides. Overall, it makes the radar an even more essential piece of kit. -- MisleaderMcConnell, 2025-02-03 ### ***** "Excellent Addition." I am biased as I have been using Garmins since the 1990s. This Varia App is a great addition to transmit a better sound than from the Edge computer on my handlebars. Thank you. -- d.l.777, 2025-01-29 ### ***** "Good easy to use app" Good app well designed -- FlexxB777, 2024-11-07 ### ***** "A Real Game Changer" A majority of my bike rides, in rural southeast Georgia, are on 2-lane winding country roads. Many vehicles exceed the speed limit and drivers are not accustomed to encountering cyclists. I was always on high alert while riding being vigilant to vehicular traffic. I purchased a Garmin Varia radar and am thrilled with the technology. Additionally, my anxiety level about vehicular traffic has diminished considerably thanks to the Varia radar. As a cyclist, I won’t leave home without it. -- Hays-Man, 2024-11-02 [View all Varia™ reviews and detailed analytics on AppTail](https://apptail.io/de/account/signup?utm_campaign=ai-crawl&utm_content=reviews) ## Varia™ Store Rankings | Chart | Country | Category | Rank | |-------|---------|----------|------| | Top Kostenlos | Tschechien | Health Fitness | #101 | | Top Kostenlos | Österreich | Health Fitness | #273 | | Top Kostenlos | Norwegen | Health Fitness | #337 | | Top Kostenlos | Dänemark | Health Fitness | #345 | | Top Kostenlos | Ungarn | Health Fitness | #372 | | Top Kostenlos | Polen | Health Fitness | #391 | | Top Kostenlos | Belgien | Health Fitness | #412 | | Top Kostenlos | Südkorea | Health Fitness | #465 | ## Varia™ Discovered Keywords -
