App forces me to migrate to an inferior app
Been using this app for years with my Curt Echo. I have been very happy with its function and ease of use.
Today I went to tow and was forced to the new OneDrvie app. First it was difficult set up taking 15 min at least. Then it insists I share my location to work. I don’t want that!!!! Then it looks like it has a million feature, which I do not need or want, thus it is not straightforward to Use for my simple application. Why?????Show lesskinderelk
Need to make compatible with Car Play
Need to make compatible with car play so I don’t have to look at my phoneAngi Wiley
Could be even better
Currently pleased with how my Echo Brake performs. Only issue is constantly looking at a phone to control it. It would be great if they can integrate this into Carplay and AndoridAuto and give us the ability to control the app through there. Hence having the ability to no look down at your phone. Just a thought. If i can order a pizza through Carplay, why not control my E-Brake.Show less01vdub915
Customer service is horrible
I used this for 3 years with no problem. Used it in May with no problems. Changed TV and using same wiring harness on a different TV now the app can’t find the co troller. Called customer service multiple times got same story that it is something with Apple cloud not the controller. Called Apple to get help, they said nothing they can do. It sounds like an app problem call the app developer. Contacted the developer. After two emails back and forth still no functioning brake co troller and leaving in the morning on a 7 hour trip. Hopefully nothing significant happens. Thought highly of this app and co troller when new. Now, not so muchShow lesslilmac15
Works perfect on my Suburban
This device has been a great addition to my suburban. I've had no trouble hooking it up and have enjoyed the convenience of the profile settings. It works perfectly when pulling my camper, so I don't have to worry about any issues while traveling. Overall, this is a great product for anyone who needs reliable braking device.Show lessACHELAE
Location Services Not Working
The first echo brake controller I had quit connecting to my trailer within the first couple months I used it. They sent me a replacement controller and it is not working. The Led light remains blue when plugged into the truck and the trailer. I read in the instructions and reviews you need to have location services turned on to use the app. When I go to the app setting there is no option to turn on location. When I go to my location services settings the Echo app does not show up. Someone please help, I’m leaving again for a cross country Roadtrip in 4 days.Show lessAshMath22
Works ok
So far it has seemed to work for the most part.
Just wish it would work with car play.
But after reading the reviews I may not want that.Spriteboy :0)
Works but needs more adjustability
The app and device function but the app needs more adjustability. When setting the max output, it goes from not applying the brakes at all to applying them too much when only moving one step. The trailer and it’s brakes work very well with other brake controllers.
If they would add steps between every 5 on the max output, I think this would be much more usable.Show lessDisappointed1432
Randomly locks trailer brakes
Just got off the phone with Curt customer service, who were not helpful- “sometimes apps do that- just reload the app if that happens.” NOT ACCEPTABLE - for a couple of reasons: 1) in what universe is it ok for a brake controller to randomly decide to lock up the trailer brakes while in motion? 2) I use my trailer in locations where there’s no cell or internet service - I can’t just stop and reload the app every time I notice the trailer brakes smoking as I’m driving happily down the highway. I’ve used the thing for less than 100 miles of towing- they can’t tell me if this is a 1-in-a-million or a once-a-week problem. Unsatisfactory.Show lesswhatisart
