Not Bad
The ui is fine, but one gripe I have is that you cannot open the gallery to view recordings on the phone app while you are using carplay so you have to unplug your device to use the feature. A little annoying but besides that it is a nice device to have.

Ok App, Neefs Improvement
The concept of the app is great but in practice It doesn’t work well. First currently as it is, you can only have one phone signed into the app at a time. If you share the car with someone else, you can’t have two emails on one detector nor can you have two people signed into the same email address at the same time. The second big problem is that the app plays all radar alerts and turn by turn directions at the same volume as the music. Apple Maps, Google maps Waze all have separate volume for the term by turn directions and alerts versus the music. No one needs music at 75% volume and then here make a left and a half a mile at that same volume. It literally makes the turn by turn navigation app completely useless. All police alert alerts and turned by turn directions. Need to come in at a separate volume from the music volume. This app is not classified as a navigation app so that doesn’t happen.
