I just bought a new Uniden R8 radar detector and loaded and configured this app. The app saved me a big ticket in the first day! I was driving on the highway though Ohio and the app warned me about police ahead so I adjusted my speed accordingly. Well sure enough there was an Ohio State Trooper using instant on laser and he gunned me with it. My new R8 detector went off but if I didn't have this great Highway Radar app, I may have gotten a big ticket! Many thanks to the developers!!

This app is absolutely fantastic for the purpose for which it was created! It could use some updates to speed limits, but it is hard to compete with the resources of a company like Google. That being said, I am planning to be a monthly donor, and if you try it and agree, I suggest that you do the same to keep this going. Be sure to take the time to read the manual to get it working properly and customized for your particular needs.

Works well with uniden R4, can change settings much easier in the app than the detector menu itself. Also nice to have the alerts go through my cars system instead of the speaker on the detector. Using wzsabre plugin for crowd sourced alerts and haven't had any problems with that.

They Seriously need to improve the alerting function. The app gives you speed camera and red light camera alerts on streets you're not even driving on. There's no way to fine-tune that. This can be a big this distraction from more important alerts that you need to pay attention to. The app has a lot of potential but it's annoyance needs to be addressed. As you see other people complain about the same thing. Also relating to the alerting function if you want to try to have it on the alert

Great app! Integrates with R4w perfectly. Would like to add a suggestion. it would be nice to be able to setup over-speed alerts even if there are no active alerts.

In terms of usability, it is really easy and straightforward to get around, but since I installed it, it worked like a charm for a day or two, until it would just stop working, randomly closing itself out. If anyone has any advice on this, please reply, DM, etc.

Awesome app!!! Came here from rdf and I'm so happy to see how quick the developer is to make changes and better the experience for everyone. It started off great and every update makes it better. No app can match this right now. With waze and the plane alerts you have an enormous database of alerts and unparalled alert distance. Waze is great but half the time it wont alert for me and when it does, its way too close. Highway Radar is super customizable and offers what no other app does.

Excellent app. Only thing I can think of is allowing users to add aircrafts to the suspicious list. The police helicopters in my area just come up as unknown, even though I roughly know their tail numbers, it can be hard to hear when the app reads it out and says unknown at the end especially because I'm on a motorcycle and have no visual of my phone screen

@Todd Penner, in the review, below gave this a 1 star. He is wrong. This app is designed to alert you of road hazards and speed traps. It is not a navigation aide. It works exactly as advertised. I use it everytime I road trip, has actually saved me from a speeding ticket.

Extremely useful and feature filled app. No ads, no subscriptions, no charges of any kind. A whole lot of time and work put into an app with the author getting essentially nothing in return for his effort. Your hard work and dedication is greatly appreciated and doesn't go unnoticed! Thank you!
