"V1 Companion Wow! ...so far it works so well and is so quiet that I was thinking the V1G2 was faulty!! It wasn't until the drive summary popped up that I realized it was obviously working hard in the background to keep my sanity intact from all of the weak K band sources." - D

"First drive today with V1 Companion and I am HAPPY!... The Ghost and BSM filtering works nicely!" - NCT

"This app is my go-to now because of its simplicity. It’s what I’m looking for to just quiet down the V1 without all the technical advanced features in other apps that seems overwhelming to use." -RV

"This release has really been a game changer for me… EXACTLY what I needed for my OCD using the V1 in my CX5." - C

"This app transforms my V1G2 from unusable in city to works really good." - JB

"[Other apps’] random beeps are a deal breaker. [They are] only marginally better than the gen1 with annoying weak notifications. The [V1] Companion rocks at killing unnecessary noise!" - GH
