Ratings and reviews

It works well, but... It's missing features that are on the Apple iOS version of the app, and, it REALLY uses a lot of battery! I mean, a lot! My G21 Ultra usually lasts all day with moderate use. With the Tesla app running in the background, and not using the phone, it's down to 14% by mid afternoon. Solution is to use the Tesla widget and open the main app only when absolutely needed & then force close it. UWB support finally supported in latest versions! Still needs sentry video support.

Update (2/24/2025): One more star since now it seems pretty solid. But I can't give it 5 stars until a watch app for WearOS appears. They've done it for Apple Watch, why not this? Original (November 2022) Since my phone (S-22 Ultra) updated to Android 13 the phone key frequently stops working until I turn off Bluetooth and turn it on again. I don't know if this is an app or OS issue but it's very inconvenient.

UI is a very disorganized/convoluted, things I need are hard to find. My biggest frustration, though, is that UWB support/hands free trunk for Android is still not set up. It also would be nice if it went through more of a set up process to personalized the experience. You have to do this from inside the car, so if you didn't know to set things up ahead of time, features that you need when you're not near of won't work. UI/UE just need a lot of work.
