★★★★☆amazing app only needs a retouch
you can’t see ur logs without being connected to it or on other than that amazing app and features.
★★★★★Fixes the R8
I've used this now for over a year and I'd be lying if I said this wasn't worth the money. I always have this app open in the background on my phone and it makes the detector far more bearable than without. the best feature this offers besides the improved Spotlock auto-lockout system is the auto-mute settings with options to select how long the signal warning sounds play based on strength and frequency. i basically cant run the detector without this apps functions running alongside it.

★★★★★Inadvertent purchase
Trying to send a message to Angela. I inadvertently purchased the R8 app and should have purchased the R4 which I also did. I just received the Uniden R4W and inadvertently selected and purchased the R8 app. I quickly realized I should have purchased the R4 app. I am very happy with the R4 app, which I am keeping. I deleted the R8 app and requested a refund for the R8 app through Apple. Thank for your help in advance. I will review the R4 app through there.
★★★☆☆Bluetooth Connectivity
I sent a massage to app support and never received a response, so I will post the issue I’m having here. Looks like app support is responding here. My Bluetooth only randomly connects to the app. Maybe around 20% of the time. Rest of the time I have to open the app to connect to the device via Bluetooth which is annoying. The app used to connect seamlessly in the background prior to the last update.
★★★★★Uniden R8 Detector
I love it. It works very good. Plus it looks futuristic.
