Waste of time and money, nothing works

This app has been terrible and continues to be terrible. App developer responses always say we’re going to update this or that, but nothing changes. This is fraud to even charge a fee to use this app. I canceled after my “free” worthless period ran out. NOT RECOMMENDED!

Doesn’t Function Right

The app doesn’t look or function as advertised. It’s been almost a year of having the paid Ride Command service and it has NOT worked properly since subscribing. I had a trouble ticket open and was informed it was potentially an app issue. I’ve waited for updates and still am having issues. It hardly ever shows the Slingshot’s location. Rides aren’t always tracked and when they are they don’t sync properly. It does not show a photo of your selected model the way it’s advertised to do. If it worked properly and actually looked the way you guys advertised then I would give a better rating.

Can’t see location

I paid for the annual service to see my location and I’ve seen it a couple times live and it hasn’t updated in 3 weeks currently and the map disappeared.

Response from developer

Hello, Thank you for letting us know you are encountering this issue. This was supposed to be fixed in the new release, but some users are still having problems. We are urgently working on resolving the issue and will be releasing an app update as soon as possible. Thank you for your patience.

Ride command …. Not bad

Using Ride command to plan routes is …tedious… but not to bad.
Once you figure out to set up all the places you plan on going then planning a new route is easier! Finding points as you go is easy enough but having most of your major places defined is easier!

The flyover is pretty neat but would be nice to allow a north up prospective.

Planning on the web ride command and editing and then downloading to your RC app / your Slingshot is odd but seems to work well!

Takes a while to get the hang of it but it actually works well!

I have planned a number of rides and it gave me a good route to follow!

The slingshot navigation is very resistant if you vary from the planned route and keeps wanting to loop back instead of recalculating as you go!

Not bad overall!

Terrible

This app doesn't work for anything the idea is great and would appreciate the Ride Command 1000 times more if I could actually use threw the app. Waste of time. Extreme headache.

Response from developer

Sorry to hear you are having issues with the app. Please reach out to us at ridecommand-support@polaris.com with details on the issues you are having, so we troubleshoot your issues.

Difficult to use

Difficult to plan new route and download it to the navigation system. Navigation is in reliable and really unusable while traveling

Will not connect

The app has a hard time connecting to ride command and rarely does. On the the app it says it is waiting on Bluetooth connection and the is connected to the ride command system. Great idea but the app has issues.

Apple CatPlay

When will the Slingshot Ride Command app be updated to include Apple CarPlay?

Response from developer

Thank you for the review. We do not have a release date for CarPlay, however we are working on bringing this to the Slingshot app!
