V1 Companion App Reviews

Mostly this is a good iOS app for the v1Gen2. Biggest failings are 1. voice announcements are inaudible at highest volume settings. I can only hear voice announcements if the car is stopped. 2. If I can hear the voice announcements, the spoken frequency has significant figures out to 3 decimal places with no easy way to change. Ie. 34.700 hz instead of a simpler 34.7 hz Both these issues are so annoying I choose a competitive app instead most days.

I love that this app enables me to customize nearly all the settings on my V1G2 radar, but it has one major flaw. Though I understand its purpose, I wish it gave the option to turn off the “V1Gen2 connected” or “disconnected” announcements. The app sometimes glitches and will make “disconnected” and “connected” announcements multiple times during a drive, even when the app’s connection to the radar is uninterrupted. Lastly, I hate alerting to the world that I have a radar detector whenever

I finally “upgraded’ to a Gen2 V1. Combining the functionality of this app, especially the GPS Spot Locks, frequency reports, trip summaries, and MANY other cool additions make this a must have for any iOS using Valentine Gen2 user. I had a couple questions that were almost immediately answered by the app team. Most of the time asking questions about an app is a trip to the black hole of never, not so with V1 Companion! I am very happy with this app and the support, thanks Cracked Pixel and team

Love this app! Would it be possible in a future release to include a database for red light/speed cameras? Thanks!

This is an excellent sidekick to the v1, but I am longing for CarPlay compatibility. By the way, thank you to the developer(s) for putting so many useful features in this app!

If it could be used in landscape mode it would be perfect for me... I do use it more than any of the other apps out there. But really want landscape support since my pro max phone gets in the way of other things to see on dash while in portrait orientation. That’s it. Nothing else to dislike it is by far the most quiet v1 ride to work and around town. Great work on last version update. It’s a KA warning system and has since eliminated 99.9 of all other false. bSM and ghost is excellent. And spot

This is overall one of the best apps I have on my phone. It works flawlessly, works as advertised, and makes (IMO) the best radar detector on the market even better. The screens and graphics could use a little cleaning up to make them more legible and less cluttered, and an explanation of some of the symbols that appear on the screen would be ideal, but this is a small price to pay for the functionality offered in this package. Absolutely, totally, and inarguably, worth every penny of the asking

Works nice! My hope is that it will eventually include crowd sourced alerts, speed cameras, and aircraft.

A really sensitive detector can be so annoying it’s useless. I get very few false hits and yet it warns me when there really is a problem. Not “perfect” but very useful. It’s the best by far and keeps getting better!

Excellent App, Thank you developer, Makes using the V1 gen 2 a breeze and adds so Much extra functionality to the V1

Ditto to all the other raving reviews, the only thing its missing is its not compatible with apple car play. That would take this app to the next level

This really quiets your ride. All the reasons why I wanted to get the R8 are now addressed with this app. Overall I think the V1Gen2 is better than anything out there, but its lack of GPS is extremely frustrating. I could write so much more about this app, but this app really is everything the V1Gen2 should be out of the box.
