Ratings and reviews

The app functions well & does almost anything you'd want it to. My biggest gripe is that the widgets are all oversized for the space they truly need. Wouldn't be a huge issue, but they don't have adjustable settings, so you can't make the backgrounds transparent to blend with your home screen. I love the ease of access to the most-used features (remote start, lock/unlock, POI search) right from my home screen without the need to open the app to access, just wish they'd update background options.

This app is basically unusable. The one key feature that it is designed for, to remotely start your car, doesn't work virtually ever. Once in a blue moon, it will actually start the car, but 99% of the time, it fails, stating there is no mobile coverage. The problem occurs no matter where the car is parked, though. The app has been updated a hundred times over the years. They keep changing the UI, adding features and so forth, but the one thing that matters the most continues to be unusable.

I liked the app and then when I signed the new privacy agreement it quit working. Then I figured out I had to uninstall and reinstall. The process was really weird but after closing the app and reopening it's working. I'm leaving one star because the creator didn't bother letting us know it had to be uninstalled and reinstalled. Plus after reinstalling, as mentioned, the process is weird. Let's see if it's really any different than the previous version.
