Peace Points
The core function of the app, managing vehicle information, can bring
peace of mind. Knowing your maintenance schedule, service history, and
expense records are all in one place offers a sense of control and
preparedness.
Pros:
- Centralized vehicle information
- Reduced anxiety about vehicle upkeep
- Potential for cost savings through preventative maintenance
Cons:
- Requires consistent data entry
- Dependent on user accuracy
Calm Features
Service reminders are a valuable feature that can bring calm by preventing
unexpected breakdowns. The app's diagnostic tools, if available and
reliable, could also reduce stress by helping users understand potential
problems before they escalate. Some apps include direct booking with
service centers, an additional bonus.
Service Reminders
Automated reminders significantly decrease the mental load of
remembering important service dates.
Transform Paths
The app can transform the experience of vehicle ownership from reactive to
proactive. By providing insights into fuel economy and potential cost
savings, it empowers users to make informed decisions and potentially reduce
their environmental impact.
- Track fuel consumption
- Identify areas for improvement
- Reduce emissions over time
Quiet Moments
A well-designed app with intuitive navigation can create a quiet, focused
experience. However, disruptive ads or a cluttered interface can disrupt
this serenity.
"A clean, uncluttered interface fosters a sense of calm and allows users
to focus on the task at hand."
Change Aspects
Document storage feature transforms a glove compartment full of crumpled
papers into an organized and easily accessible digital archive.
Peaceful Value
While the specific level of peaceful value depends on the user's
individual needs and preferences, the app has the potential to significantly
reduce stress and improve the overall experience of owning and maintaining
a vehicle.

Description
JBV1 is a companion application for Valentine One and Valentine One Gen2 Radar Locators, designed to provide drivers with situational awareness and threat filtering. The app offers simultaneous display of frequency, signal strength, and direction for all located radar threats, voice announcements of new radar threats, and alert hold times for easier identification of brief alerts. JBV1 also tracks distance traveled or time elapsed since threat first located, provides real-time graphs of signal strength and orientation over time, and allows for alert snoozing to ignore a specific frequency regardless of location for up to one hour.
The app also offers background operation, alert logging with reports by day, time, and alert, and display of logged alerts to Google Maps. JBV1 includes profiles for V1 settings and custom sweeps/frequencies, automatic, speed-based V1 mode control, GPS-based lockouts of known false alerts, and GPS-based profile overrides that can change V1 settings automatically when you travel into or out of geographic areas you define. The app also offers GPS-based marking of red light cameras, speed cameras, and anything else, and displays critical V1 settings so you won't forget which bands are enabled or disabled.
JBV1 requires an ESP-enabled V1 or V1 Gen2 Radar Locator, and for V1s prior to V1 Gen2, JBV1 also requires one of the following Bluetooth adapters in order to talk to your V1: V1connection or V1connection LE. Both of these Bluetooth adapters are available from Valentine Research Inc. The app includes an optional Accessibility Service that is used to provide optional automation, such as splitting your screen after app startup or with voice control, locking your screen during app shutdown, and taking a screenshot with voice control.
