Ratings and reviews

Mediocre app. Constantly makes you sign back in, frequently has outages, occasionally makes you re register what car you have, and takes forever to send commands to your car. Taking forever to send commands to the car is especially problematic because I always assume the app crashed again or just isn't going to work for no reason. The only good aspect of the app is that it is free. But even still I'm usually too stressed out about the app not working to use it on a regular basis.

Offers a lot of neat options that simoly don't work at the end of the day. It's nice guesture and great ideas they have, but highly underdeveloped and ineffective. Sadly, it's just to get the emergency call button feature for a period which does work. And works well. Accidently hit the button once after work and within 3minutes, I was surrounded by 4 cop cars and 6 officers responding to a "live accident" as they told me. Bravo on that part. 👏

The remote monitoring and "SOS" system have been intermittent since I bought the car 2 months ago. It's been back to the dealer 3 times, they've replaced modules, and still there are problems. it very much destroys the otherwise great WV Jetta experience. (2024 Jetta, only 3000 miles so far)
