### 3/5 — This app does stay synced to vehicle.

*2023-11-02*

This app doesn’t stay synced to the vehicle or updated to the current vehicle status or info. Currently the info in the app shows info for my Stelvio from a week ago  — gas amount, tire pressure, and even the vehicle location is “old” info from almost a week ago. And I can’t figure out a way to make the app refresh or sync so it’s updated to today’s correct vehicle stats.

**Developer response:** Hello, we sincerely apologize for the troubles you've had with the app. Our team would like to look into this matter further on our end. When you have a moment, please send us an email to socialmedia.uconnect@stellantis.com. Within this email, please include your VIN and screenshots of your app. ~Michael

### 1/5 — This App Is Terrible!

*2023-08-24*

This app is terrible! The remote start feature has not worked for me consistently since I’ve had my car. Out of 10 tries it may work 2 and the other 8 says “Request Failed.” I literally sat on the phone for an hour trying to get this issue figured out and it’s still an issue! How can you charge a monthly fee for something that doesn’t work?

**Developer response:** Hi, we apologize for your frustration. Please follow up with us via email at socialmedia.uconnect@fcagroup.com to provide additional details regarding your concerns so we may determine how to best assist you. ~Rob

### 2/5 — Gets increasingly worse

*2023-08-15*

With each update, this app gets worse and worse. Alfa would do well to scrap it altogether. The latest update logged me out and obliterated my selected dealership, so I had to start over. It shows my fuel tank at 34% even though my tank is full. The remote start is a disaster. It starts the car then immediately shuts it down. There also does not appear any communication between the app and the dealer service department in order to give the user quick access to service records.

When you click on “app support” it sends you to Alfa’s general sales page on its website.

 The updates don’t “fix” bugs, they create new ones.

Come on Alfa get it together. If you’ve handed this app over toba contractor, fire them already!

**Developer response:** Greetings, we deeply regret hearing your sentiments expressed here. Our team would like to learn more about your experience and get your app working properly. When you have a moment, please email us at socialmedia.uconnect@fcagroup.com. ~Rob

### 1/5 — Remote start fails

*2023-07-06*

Remote start fails 1-3x before it’s successful, every single day. Support blames it on “connectivity” issues but it has been tested by us in different places, from Wi-Fi, T-Mobile and Verizon. It has never worked on the first try.

**Developer response:** Hi, sorry for the unpleasant experience you had with our app.  Our team would like the opportunity to take a look into your situation. To do so, please send an email to socialmedia.uconnect@fcagroup.com. From here, we will be able to assist you further. ~Rob

### 4/5 — Add feature that informs if doors are locked or not

*2023-05-09*

The application is good, not great. When it works it’s a convenience, especially during the cold months. I’d say about 7/10 attempts result in positive feedback whereas the other 3 attempts fail. 

Request that the consumer be able to tell by looking at the app if their doors are locked or not as we can “lock” our doors anyway, why can’t we be told if the doors are locked/unlocked?

**Developer response:** Greetings, we certainly appreciate your feedback! Our team has made sure to document your comments within our system, as we are always looking for ways to enhance our services.  Any specific incident we can look into for you? Please know you can contact us by email at socialmedia.uconnect@fcagroup.com, if you have any further feedback or need assistance. ~Rob

### 5/5 — Great Car.

*2023-01-16, version 1.4.0*

Tremendous car. Fun To drive. Wonderful acceleration   Gets peoples  attention.

**Developer response:** Greetings, we’re thrilled to hear it! Thanks so much for your kind words. Your review is appreciated! ~Rob

### 1/5 — ZERO STARS

*2022-12-12, version 1.4.0*

I would give it zero stars if this was an option. It’s horrible. It either never works or you don’t know if it’s working. Horrible.

### 1/5 — Glitchy

*2022-12-08, version 1.4.0*

Sometimes this app won’t update my location

And my car was broken into and I wasn’t notified

**Developer response:** Hi , we are very sorry to hear that and value your honest feedback. Please know you can contact us by email at socialmedia.uconnect@fcagroup.com , if you ever need help with your app in the future. ~Brenda

### 1/5 — Alfa connect

*2022-11-05, version 1.4.0*

Just bought a new Alfa Romeo 2 weeks ago. The “Send and go” feature does not work. I have called SiriusXm guardian multiple times and they can’t tell me what’s wrong. They told me to take the car back to the dealership. The dealership says I need to contact Sirius xm guardian Also the “Info” section of the app does not update information such as fuel level or mileage. I have reinstalled the app multiple times with the same results. Very disappointing

### 1/5 — Still awful after a year

*2022-08-27, version 1.3.9*

One year later after my first review of app it still stinks.  The remote start works about half the time.  I get the failed notification.    I was quite hopeful after the over the air alfa connect box update 3 weeks ago.   I had hoped this fixed the connection issues.   It has not.   I have made many complaints to Alfa and sirius guardian.   Nothing to resolve the issue.   I will not be renewing my subscription next month.   Waste of money.
