I saw it the other day in magazine. It is supposed to pick up radar, laser, red light cameras, speed cameras, dui checkpoints and i think even more. I am skeptical about it....being an app....maybe if it was a unit claiming to do all of that. if you travel over the speed limit and such you don't want to chance the equipment you trust to alert you of the presence of radar or laser to something you are unsure of. until it is tested by radar roy or someone else reputable i will stick to my escort passport 9500ix which has most of the same functions except for the checkpoint alerts. my 9500ix has only failed me once in over 2 years and that was because i got lasered from the rear at 1000ft....tinted windows greatly reduce the rear range of detectors so there is no way any detector in this same situation would have picked it up. and yes it has saved me from laser up front more than once believe it or not!!!



edit.......i didn't click the link before posting. I thought this was something else i saw....maybe it is....either way until it is tested and proved to be reliable i will stick to what i know works

I have this radar, it's pretty awesome! You can tweak all the settings from your phone. It works great so far!
