Good detector for the price

I've used it on a few road trips and it's saved me a few times. The false filtering isn't perfect but way better than my old one.

Solid performance, but learning curve

The app connectivity took a bit to set up, but once I did, it worked great. The detector has good range and I like the customizable settings. The only downside is the display is a bit dim in direct sunlight.

Mixed feelings

It detects well on the highway, but in the city it false alarms a lot. The app is useful for markings, but it drains my phone battery. I think there are better options at this price.

Stopped working

After two months, it started giving a continuous false laser alert. Tried resetting but no luck. Contacted support, they sent a replacement, but the replacement has the same issue. Very disappointed.
