"Feels like a new detector!", -e "A Radar Detector Miracle!", -efr "Essential to the Radenso!" - atl Version 1.10 New Features (Watch for another, bigger, update coming soon!): This new version focuses on 'multiple device' Bluetooth connectivity enhancements. ***NOTE*** - If you are already paired with the detector, you will need to open the app once for each detector. New pairings take care of this, but existing pairings will need a one time connection to be remembered. • Seamlessly switch between using different DS1s while app is in the background. A benefit for those with multiple cars with the different DS1 detectors. • Automatic detector switching works regardless if the app is in the foreground or background, no need to bring the app to the foreground when switching devices. Just power off the connected device and the app will connect to another powered on detector. • "Pair it, forget it and drive! It just works!" • Support for latest detector firmware version 121. • Fixed bug where POI alerts would turn on/off rapidly alternating between the speedometer and the POI information. • Compiled with latest Xcode for iOS 26 • iOS 26 interface updates including Liquid Glass and other updated elements. • New Icons for iOS 26 dark and tinted modes. • New Formatting for trip details for iOS 26. Previous updates: • New and improved SpotLock 2.0 and Advanced False Assist 3.0. Both data driven systems have been updated using 4 years of historical data. This takes your detector to a whole new level of quietness and safety against real threats. • 4 new mute types added to alert history log: "User DS1" for when the user presses the physical mute button. "Latch" for to support Radenso's latch mute for when the detector is muted and the signal goes away and then re-occurs within a short period. "User app" for when a user mutes the detector by taping on the phone screen during an active alert. "Ka, K, X Timer" for when the detector is muted after the user's set amount of time. Also features: • DS1 settings screen to modify some of the more popular DS1 settings (more to come in future updates).
