User Reviews

Users generally praise V1 Companion as a powerful sidekick to the V1 Gen 2, delivering real-time data, detailed logging, and fewer false alerts, while noting developers' responsiveness and updates. The main drawbacks repeatedly cited are Bluetooth disconnects, no CarPlay or landscape mode, and a UI/UX that many find cluttered or hard to read, especially on larger iPhones. Several reviews call for improved readability and a few for export functionality. Overall, it’s highly valued for reducing false alerts and adding features, with ongoing improvements expected.

Pros

Significantly enhances the V1 Gen 2 with added features like logging and real-time data, improving threat visibility.
Reduces false alerts, making driving quieter and more focused by eliminating most false positives.
Active development and regular updates, with responsive improvements based on user feedback.
Good value for money; users feel the app adds substantial functionality beyond the base device.
Provides detailed signal information and logs that help with tuning and monitoring (real-time data, confidence indicators).

Cons

Frequent Bluetooth connectivity issues between the V1 Gen 2 and iPhone, leading to disconnects.
Lack of CarPlay support and no landscape mode, which many users want for safer, hands-off viewing.
UI/UX is criticized as cluttered and hard to read at times, hindering quick driving-focused use.
Readability and display issues on certain devices (e.g., iPhone Pro Max) affecting usability.
Some requests for additional features like exportation of logs, and occasional display/readability improvements.

Recent reviews

I have been using radar detectors for over 40 years, and a Valentine One since introduction in 1992/1993. V1 Companion unlocks the full potential of the V1 Gen2. This is an excellent and easy to use App. I highly recommend V1 Companion !!

I previously had the R8 Companion app and loved it. So when I changed radar detectors, I of course purchased the new companion app. The ability to spot lock alerts and have voice notifications for alerts, is great. I would like to thank the developer for taking the time to create some great user friendly apps.

Once you've used this app, you will actually like your V1. After a couple weeks of learning mode detecting false positives, it only makes noise when there is an actual threat source.
