ARadar App Reviews

Super pleased with the app. First test ride today with watch paired to rvr315 - easy no fuss pairing , just turn on the radar , select ARadar on the watch and you are ready to roll . It works great , with my side mirror all I need is the haptic alert on the watch. When I got back I adjusted watch haptic setting to “prominent “ just so it’s very obvious , I rarely ride in roads with a lot of traffic so this works for me. update 4/6/24: affer downloading the new version i experienced a couple of

Great app, easily paired to my Apple Watch. Not sure why it recorded my last ride as a walk. Typically I don’t walk at 17 mph. I can go back and edit that it was a ride rather than a walk. Would be nice if I could set bike ride as a default. Well worth the six bills for radar detection and alarm to my watch. June 16 update review. Talked with the developer who was very responsive. Reset a few items on my Apple Watch and works much better.

I recently got the Garmin bike radar for safety. This wonderful app makes it possible to use the radar without having to mount the phone on the bike or having a dedicated bike computer to pair with the radar. It does its job well and, thankfully, is not a subscription app. The one time payment is very reasonable. The developer is capable, friendly and very responsive. 10/10!!!

Really nice integration with radar! The haptic feedback is quite a nice way to be alerted. The developer is very accessible and helpful! Thanks!

I’ve been using the app for maybe a month now. I use it on my watch series 8 without my cellphone present. The app works great in current format , and the developer is SUPER responsive ( emails me back within minutes ) about making changes you want to see to improve the App. If you use an Apple Watch , and ride with a bike radar , for $6 this app is a serious bargain and no brainer and he will only continue to refine and improve the app.

It does indeed work quite well. Especially like the vibration when I can’t hear because of background noise. However, instructions on use are a bit sparse.

Downloaded ARadar for audible warnings on my Apple Watch when using Varia radar. Worked great. My Garmin 840 is too quiet. Bonus features include showing distance and speed of overtaking vehicle. I recommend it over using Varia app on the iPhone.

When riding with others no one wants to hear the radar beep. This app is an elegant fix. Improvement - when riding on rough roads or gravel the vibration alarm of the watch can be too subtle. I wish there was a way to turn up the strength or intensity of the vibration notification.

This used to work great on Apple Watch. Now it keeps popping up permission for health data. But the prompt disappears before I can click it. So now I can’t use it at all. Now it’s working next day with no change. Updated my rating.

I didn’t like having to clamp a phone to my handlebars to use the app for my Garmin Varia. This Apple watch app solves that problem perfectly. It vibrates your Apple watch when new cars come up behind you. I prefer to use the nice and loud beeping option. It beeps when new cars come up, then plays a different sound when its all clear. I never have to fiddle with it, I just turn on my Varia, open the Aradar app and go. Lots of great new features keep getting added as well. Highly recommended!

Probably the best watch app I own!

I use an e-bike and my phone is dedicated to be the cycle controller. I needed a watch app that interfaced with the garmin radar and provided vehicle notifications. This app performs this function very well. Also, I had a question about the operation of the app and Roberto was very responsive(responded within an hour). Thumbs up for customer support!

Started bike workout turned on app and it worked perfectly for about 30 seconds then turned off watch return to home opened app again, and it did the same thing. Not sure what’s going on. and why it won’t stay on. Emailed Roberto and he got back within 15 minutes. Turns out Apple doesn’t let 2 apps record workout data at the same time and I had the outdoor bike workout app on the watch running when I turned on the ARadar app so it was turning off in favor of the watch bike app. Now I just use t

I activated my Garmin RCT715 + ARadar for a 50-mile bike ride. My Apple Watch was at 100% charge at the start. It was under 20% at the end. I can’t risk running the Apple Watch battery all the way to 0%, which would have happened on a 4-hr ride. I am abandoning the app. $6 down the drain.

The app will not install in my Apple Watch Series 8 GPS + Cellular
