Why does a developer spend his time to code it? It's absolutely useless at this moment. Please put something useful. Sport car thinks... there are so many thinks you can add. If I had an proper IDE I would write my self something interesting and useful....

I didn't use any starlink apps I only used Bluetooth streaming. After the update starlink won't work at all and I can't stream anymore. The only th8ng that does work is the battery level

Disappointed that Subaru has overlooked this part of their software package.

Man this app is too ugly. Come on guys!

It's okay need a hige update switch I don't under why Subaru won't fund

Let's get real guys, find someone who can do it correctly...🤔👎

A disgrace.

This app is useless.

There are no settings as shown in the picture for this app. It doesn't link with our Outback. We can never get things like Pandora to play. Not to mention the screen display in the Subaru is confusing at times & when something should be synced up or linked, it never works.

This is a sad excuse for an in car infotainment system in 2017. It is slow, clunky and unreliable. Thankfully the complete opposite of the car it is installed in. The way it deals with folders on a USB drive is so incredibly horrible, how could it be worse than the first MP3 player I owned 12 years ago? And that wouldn't matter if it we're just easier to listen and control music on my phone, standard Bluetooth functions seem to be broken, I can't​ use Android Assistant via Bluetooth by hitting the voice control button on the steering wheel, my ancient Motorola T505 handsfree unit can do this. As other reviews have said Subaru needs to have an open SDK for this app and make the software for the head unit open source as well, I think they'd be amazed at the community could come up with. Oh, and as for the Android app itself: DPI settings are messed up and the navigation buttons are tiny on high res screens, the app doesn't use standard Android styling or control methods and is clearly an iOS clone. It also runs in the background and keeps the notification light blinking at all times. Absolute garbage. Never thought I'd be considering a new head unit for a brand new car.

Worst infotainment system ever built. Apps are completely useless in virtually all situations let alone being tailored for automotive hands free information. I love my wrx. I hate that it has this system. Just terrible considering other vehicles priced far less than Subarus had it figured out for 2016. Just waiting for an update that will make it right.

Worst app ever? Possibly. Love my new 2017 Forester and I hate to say it, but I probably would have bought something else if I'd known how terrible this infotainment system was. Can have 4 or 5 bars and full charge, but it still tells me that "Smartphone data connection is poor, please try to connect again." Open the SDK in the short run, and give us Android Auto in the middle run. It's painfully obvious that you can't do this yourself.

What is the purpose of this app? It supports other apps that either nobody uses or haven't even heard of. Spotify support would be useful I guess. If you just pair your phone via Bluetooth this app isn't even necessary. They really push this app at the dealership too. It's kind of funny.

Wow. What to even say.... it's like they gave the job to produce an app to a bunch of 5 year olds. Slow, unresponsive, utterly lacking in any functionality. Oh, and buying a $33k wrx, you would expect the radio to be better then a Honda civic (spoiler, it's not). Garbage app, garbage radio, garbage speakers. (Fun car though;)

Please add some instructions on how to use the apps with Android devices. I like the application but it needs more thought. It's not as easy to use as there is nothing on the web or the app itself to show you how to use the app and it frustrates us consumers.

Just mirror my phone and quit failing. Would be so simple and you would have happy customers. Almost as unusable as your hands free voice commands is the best I can say about it. Update: terrible still

Edit: After the update, still Won't open. I have no idea what "improvements" this update was supposed to have done. Won't even open. But I think you guys don't read these comments anyway. So much like trying to open your app I'm wasting my time

Useless. Complete waste of time. My new Subaru has a "MirrorLink" app on the media system. Cannot connect. App just shows what the apps are that you can buy... For yours of $27 each! Come on Subaru - give us Android Auto for all existing Subarus instead of this horrid mess.

If this app was a practical joke that Subaru are playing on their customers, it is brilliant. If not, it is painfully sad that a company can treat their customers so poorly in regards to the app and display unit in their vehicles.

App doesn't do... well... anything. Give us Android Auto.

This is a pseudo app created to snarl potential buyers. Subaru purpously mislead customers by misrepresenting the functionality

Doesn't work at all with my 2017 Forrester. Can we just get Android auto already.

Pure garbage. People got PAID (!?!?!?) to make this thing. Don't bother trying it out. You'll throw up in your mouth.

Is Starlink not available in Australia? The region is not available in your list and the only apps on the head unit is Pandora a day Mirror link. Please explain.

Have to agree with everyone else. Have had a Crosstrek for 18 months and hoped the app would get better. Don't even use the app or even radio anymore except to send audio from the phone to the Bluetooth connection. Just use Android auto standalone on the phone with a mount.

I would have purchased another vehicle, that synched google maps. I hate this useless app. Mirrorlink only works outside USA. Like my Outback, but miss my VW.

This app hasn't worked since recent updates. I love Subaru but this app and infotainment system sometimes makes me regret my decision on buying the STI. At times Pandora doesn't respond, mirrorlink is a waste. When I ride with my friend with the Focus RS and the other with the Golf R I am very jealous when they can use android auto / car play for navigation as where I'm using my phone in a cubby hole. Also with those systems nav and apps are updated via third-party and often.

Slow and bulky UI for an already pointless app plus numerous bugs

Needs a UI overhaul. Also it needs the inclusion of new useful features

Can't stop the app. After turning off tha airplane mode the apps icon is up an draing the battery.

Needed to update my review. The app is still garbage.

Subaru needs to outsource head unit r&d to Google. This is pathetic.

Often won't link up. Useless app.

Terrible updare. Was it even tested??

It really isn't very useful.

It's totally useless.

Pretty much the most worthless app ever.

Please revamp this product. It's years behind other manufacturers.

Have to constantly resync the blue tooth in order for Starlink to function.

App is slow and barely offers any good content.
