User Reviews

Users broadly praise R4 Companion as a game changer: it reduces false alerts, provides in-depth logging and end-of-drive reports, and greatly enhances the R4's usability with rich customization. Reviewers cite an easy setup and reliable connectivity after updates, plus viewing more detector data than the R4 display. Common requests include CarPlay support, more iOS display options, reduced on-screen distraction, and finer control of ghost/false-alert behavior. Some note occasional UI and accessibility quirks. Overall, it’s highly valued and worth the price for R4 owners.

Pros

Significantly reduces false alerts; improves quiet operation.
Data logging, drive reports, and maps for post-drive analysis.
Enhances R4 usability with rich customization and advanced controls.
Easy-to-use interface and quick, reliable connection to the R4.
Excellent value; many reviewers call it worth the price and a game changer.

Cons

No CarPlay support; users want CarPlay integration.
iOS limitations: not all R4 display settings accessible in-app; limited display customization.
Ghosting/false-alert behavior: occasional misdetections (ghosting police cars); desire finer control to disable ghost mode while keeping other alerts.
UI distractions: speedometer/compass can be visually distracting; request for screensaver/minimized mode or color options.

Recent reviews

R4 keeps disconnecting via Bluetooth. 40 mins or 1 min is the connection time. Other apps do not disconnect. Tried factory reset on radar, iphone, delete app and installing old firmware on r4. Still the same issues, resorting to using other apps until fix. If not well…. June 6: the connection between the phone and the radar was excellent, with the distance between them being less than two feet. However, it appears that wireless car play is interfering with the proper functioning of this app due to the same Bluetooth frequency or within the same parameters. Wired CarPlay is the only method that works without connectivity issues with current 1.39 firmware. For some reason 1.36 and 1.37 works without connectivity issues while using wireless CarPlay.
