Ratings and reviews

Two complaints: The widget need to update more often. Info was showing 48 hours old and I've been using my phone all day. This is not a one-off. It defeats the purpose of a widget if I have to go into the app to get accurate info. (From 2022 and still not fixed) in 2024, I've notice that there is a memory issue; it is using 15GB (yes, GB) of storage! Only temp fix is reset the whole app. (Too much time for me, with 4 cars to re-key).

Generally a wonderful app that I use many times a day. But lately it has consumed storage on my device at a rate of about 3GB per day! This continues until it consumes all the storage on my Samsung phone. This requires me to uninstall the app, then reinstall. Then I have to re-pair the phone with both my Tesla cars. I hope they fix this soon as it is extremely inconvenient. It would be nice if Tesla tested their software on a range of Android phones, rather than just on iPhones.

Great app and glad they provide this functionally without cost. Biggest gripe right now is the Android app isn't updated at the same time as the iOS app. Second main issue is when viewing live cameras it cuts off the music I'm listening to. It should not need to pause the music since there is no sound coming from the videos. Another issue, it's impossible to check in for service from the Android app. The button is below the screen.
