Features & Capabilities

Take your driving to the next level with the R/TACH™ app! Seamlessly connect to your Uniden R/TACH radar/laser detectors, including models R4/R4w, R8/R8w, and R9/R9w, and effortlessly customize and fine-tune your detector settings.

When you pair your Uniden R/TACH detector with the R/TACH app, you'll receive real-time alerts directly on your Device Screen. Stay ahead of potential threats with instant notifications and easily control alert events like Mute and Mute Memory from your screen.

Drive with confidence using the Map Screen Mode, which provides location awareness for known red-light and speed camera spots. Mark User Locations on the map to get notified as you approach points of interest. Plus, enjoy Lifetime Free Updates to the red-light/speed camera location database with your Uniden detector.

Connect your R4w, R8w, R9w detector to your home Wi-Fi network (e.g., in your garage) to conveniently update your detector’s firmware and red-light/speed camera database. Simply set up your home Wi-Fi SSID and Password in the app's Wi-Fi Settings to stay current with the latest updates. (Note: R4/R8 users will need to download the R/TACH Tool from Uniden.com for free firmware and database updates.)

User Reviews

Top user concerns center on connectivity and reliability (frequent disconnects), missing features (CarPlay and Bluetooth firmware updates), and poor UI behavior (settings not saving, keyboard obstruction, and weak map UI). Some positives highlighted include easy in‑app settings, alert mirroring with a stealth mode, and update notifications. Overall, the app shows promise for convenient control but needs major fixes in connectivity, UI reliability, and feature parity to meet expectations.

Pros

Easy to adjust and customize radar settings from the app, without using the detector’s own menus.
App mirrors alerts and can run the detector in dark/off mode for stealth while still showing alerts in the app.
Notifies about software/firmware updates and makes update checks straightforward.
Initial Wi‑Fi setup and pairing can be quick and straightforward when working.

Cons

Frequent connectivity issues; unreliable pairing with R8/R8W, often requiring reinstall or failing to connect.
Lack of CarPlay support; many users want CarPlay integration.
UI reliability bugs: settings toggles reset, expert/basic mode keeps reverting, and the keyboard blocks access to connect.
No Bluetooth firmware/database updates via the app; updates limited by Bluetooth, with version mismatches at times.
Weak map/interface design and navigation within the app; cluttered maps and overall usability concerns.

I have tried many times to get this to connect to my R8 with no success. I use R8 Companion with no issues with connections.

Just… no. Use anything BUT this app.

Sometimes it connects, most times it doesn’t. Have to delete and reinstall often to connect to R8W detector. Would be a great app (I think) if connectivity issues were corrected. It’s disappointing.
