ARadar 4+

Update: developer was very responsive and helped me diagnose the issue I was having with the radar unit not paired. Seems to be working as expected now and I’ll update this review with more impressions later!

Prior review: Just tried it on a ride after purchasing and it crashes on startup. watchOS 10.3 ultra, all other apps closed, garmin rtc715.

Hi, leaving a review without contacting the developer is useless. I would like to fix the issue so write me to Roberto.viola83 at Gmail.com

Thanks

I cannot speak highly enough of Roberto's dedication and expertise. Initially, I reached out to him seeking clarification on how the app integrates with Garmin Varia 315. Roberto not only promptly addressed my inquiries but also went above and beyond to accommodate my specific needs. As someone with hearing difficulties, I expressed the importance of having a haptic feedback option for car proximity alerts. Without hesitation, Roberto sprang into action.
Over the following weeks, he diligently crafted a solution that surpassed my expectations. Not only did he introduce vibrations to the Apple Watch interface, but he also integrated a visual alert on my iPhone. Now, with a subtle tap on my wrist, I can effortlessly glance at my iPhone for confirmation – a truly ingenious enhancement.
I must commend Roberto's patience and willingness to iterate, not to mention deal with me as his “test dummy”. His commitment to perfecting the app was unwavering.
Thank you, Roberto, for your exceptional work and unwavering dedication. You've truly transformed my experience with the app, and I couldn't be more grateful.

thanks so much!

This app is a great idea. I use my bike a lot for errands and having to take my phone on and off of it is one more thing to do before I can be on my way. It’s also risky to have it on the handlebars in the first place, and a bike computer is total overkill and yet another thing to charge and buy.

My only suggestion would be regarding the audio and vibration alerts. I do wish it was configurable or changed somehow to be more like the official Varia app, where there is a clear alert for someone approaching you going very fast, and also an alert for when there is no longer anything on the radar.

i have a lot of news in the next version. write me an email to roberto.viola83 at gmail.com to get the new beta!
