What is R4 Companion? Description of R4 Companion

R4 Companion™ is a feature rich app, designed to give you the most out of your R4 radar detector, while enhancing your driving experience along the way. Featuring intelligent alerts and advanced muting! R4 Companion™ is the COMPLETE solution to enjoying your R4.

The R4 Companion™ app leverages years of optimizations and features from V1 Companion™ (Available separately on the app store for owners of the Valentine One radar locator). Building on this legacy, the R4 companion adds new systems to support each of the Uniden detector's unique abilities and features.

Enhanced GPS location based 'false muting' via SpotLocks™ - All future updates to this app are free to purchasers of R4 Companion™

R4 Companion™'s alerting and muting systems are fully optimized for the R4 platform. Intelligent voice announcements and on-screen visuals will always keep you informed and aware of the situation around you.

NOTE: R4 Companion™ requires a Uniden R4 radar detector to function correctly.

R4 Companion™ full feature list:
• SpotLocks™ - Location based false silencing has never been this good or easy. Turn on the intelligent location-based learning and let R4 Companion™ do the rest. Or you can manually 'lock' or 'unlock' locations with ease from the main alert screen.
• Works seamlessly with the R4's auto mute memory, manual mute memory, k-block, and quiet-ride built in muting.
• Option to play detector tones in app.
• Ability to set R4’s internal detector settings (30+) from the app (See below list, more settings coming in free future upgrades). *Requires US Version 129 firmware:

R4 Companion Pros

Great AppThis is my first radar detector app and it has been an easy learn. Does what it’s supposed to well. Recommend!.<CrazyCooter>Version: 1.02.11

SimplicityGreat app for $10! Makes your R4 a new device if you don’t already know how to use the basic functions.EthanAce12Version: 1.03.13

R4 Companion Cons

I didn't find the app worth 10 dollars.While it is true that the app provides an additional level of access to the hidden powers of the R4, I haven't found the additional functionality particularly useful in my daily travels. I was able to configure the R4 using the under provided setup tool and for my purposes, it has worked well without the need for this app. Perhaps if the app worked with CarPlay, there would be a good reason to use it. If the app was five dollars, it would have seemed much more in line with what it seems to offer. I'll keep it and tinker every now and again to see if it ends up offering more benefit than I have found so far, too..Ryuk-1Version: 1.01.11
