Please fix :(

I’d love a chance to try this out. If it doesn’t work, why is this app even available. I will change my rating if it’s fixed. Been trying to get it for work for years

What a Waste

I’ve used this app now for about four years. At first, the app worked ok. But because I used it primarily for Waze, it was fine. Over the years, I’ve seen this app go downhill. It takes forever to get an update when Apple updates their operating system. Then the app dropped Waze. The final straw was when I got a new phone, the app stopped working altogether. I’m never buying Pioneer again.

Soooo, my app was just updated. STILL DOESN’T WORK AT ALL! I still have a black screen and ithe app is useless.

So, time for the annual update, and time to update my review. Except there is absolutely no change. This app still doesn’t work and hasn’t in a long time. I STILL get nothing but a black screen, and that is with trying everything including going directly to a supported app and deleting/downloading the app again. Pioneer Audio should be embarrassed at the record they have with this app, but I guess they just don’t care.

Sph-da210

I’ve been trying to connect my iPhone 7plus to the sph-da210 but have not been successful in doing so, I follow all the instructions all the radio does is stay in black screen, apparently this is an issue that allot of people have(from what I have read on the internet). I have also bought the upgrade to some of the apps trying to see if that would help me connect but have been unsuccessful. I’ll be selling my pioneer stereo and going to a different brand.

Embarrassing to say the least...

I’ve tried every app every possible settings etc. and all I’ve been able to is wast a good amount of my time like honestly a combined week all together.. until they figure out what they are doing I wouldn’t download because the head unit is one of the best but it’s completely stops there everyone of there apps are garbage... please can we get something that’s usable you need to get a new development team as the ones you have must be working with the 80s Oregon trial apple computers that if they are a bunch of monkeys ya I think it’s monkeys ...

Crap

Paid over $500 for a receiver only to find over the next 6 months that pioneer doesn’t update the app and stopped support if Waze. Never buying another pioneer product again.
