15 min run time?!?
Not a fan of the new app. The old app allowed me to keep my car running for 24 minutes, now the new app only allows 15 minutes. I live where it gets below 0 degrees in the winter and up to 100 (above with the “feels like” temp) in the summer. 15 min is not enough to warm/defrost or cool. Also don’t like that I have to click on something to go to the start button and then hold the start button down to start it. Just not convenient and too time consuming especially since I have to hope I remember to go in and start my car a 2nd time now....
I contacted customer service and asked about the run time and if it could be changed. I was told to delete and reinstall the app.. Not sure what that was supposed to do, but it didn’t do anything. I have replied twice to that email with no follow up response. Not what I expect for an app I pay for.Show lessJillean k
Developer Response
Sorry to hear about your experience! Your vehicle is still running for 25 minutes. The 15minutes you are currently seeing is a delayed notification from our server. We are addressing this issue and you will see the beloved 25min back on your screen shortly. Thank you. Dan S. DroneMobile AdvisorV4 is so much better
Finally a somewhat modern app with useful features. Haven’t come across the communication failure as often as I did on any v3 revision of the app. Siri commands appear to actually work now (at least for locking, haven’t attempted starting via Siri) and watch app is about the same. Just kinda... I mean it works sometimes. Other times it’s a generic failure to communicate.
Overall this is a much needed revision and I’m excited to see what is coming with future updates. Hopefully the devs keep up momentum and keep up with new features and polishing what is already there.Show lessjabbs
New app is a step backwards
The new app is very nice if your primary purpose is to look at the status of your parked car. But that’s not what I care about 99% of the time. I’m here to start the engine, or unlock the doors, etc. This new design adds an extra tap to open up the “controls” window, which is now split across 2 tabs, meaning another tap just to get to the “accessories” controls, like the trunk.
I should be able to make the controls the first thing I see when I open the app, then let me dig around on other screens if I want to see the status of battery.Show lessToo Reveu For You
Crap connection
Great when it works. During cold season have received a lot more “something went wrong” messages with sad emoji. Should put a freaking cold emoji because that’s what I am. Yes it’s a western problem, but its the primary role to turn on and off the car so when that doesn’t work it’s like a phone that doesn’t make calls. Decent overall. Nothing fancy. First major update of the app to v4 I. The several years I’ve owned it. When I bought this everyone was “oh DroneMobile is so great!”. I hope it doesn’t go the lazy ways of viper smartstart. They were so excited to upgrade from 2G to 3G network two years ago🤨Show lesslivinsales
