the app is effectively useless on the iPhone. you have to manually bring the app active for it to connect to the radar detector, or select "auto launch" which will cause a permissions popup every time it connects. so either way, you going to have to unlock your phone everytime you get in your car. otherwise you dont get any of the clound alerts etc... I have contacted customer suppor on this issue and their response was basically ¯_(ツ)_/¯.
