### 1/5 — Бесполезное приложение

*2025-12-05, version 2.2.1*

Из за этой сигналки не работает абсолютно ничего, все нужно делать через звонок в поддержку, автозапуск также не работает, сигналка тупо не дает ей завестись и глушит машину

### 1/5 — Truffé de bugs

*2025-11-27, version 2.2.1*

Produit non fini !

- Fausses alertes,
- Température moteur erronée,
- Température intérieure absente,
- Kilométrage absent,
- Absence par intermittence du signal GPS, plutôt problématique si on veut vérifier la présence du véhicule à l’endroit où on l’a laissé)
- SAV aux abonnés absents,
- Etc…

C’est lamentable pour un produit aussi cher !
L’ancienne version du logiciel fonctionnait autrement mieux.

### 4/5 — Неплохо, но есть

*2025-11-12, version 2.2.1*

Ребят, уберите пожалуйста просмотр заставки на 8 секунд. В первой версии такого нет, и это отлично.

### 1/5 — Поддержки ноль

*2025-07-24, version 2.1*

Поддержка вообще не отвечает. Писал на почту, звонил, заказывал обратный звонок - полный ноль

### 4/5 — Попытался обновить прошивку через приложение

*2025-07-02, version 2.1*

Подучил ответ превышено время ожидания. Так и задумано?

### 1/5 — Instable, travail d’amateur

*2025-06-15, version 2.1*

L’application remonte de fausses informations ( temperature, solde sim) et ne pousse pas de pushs, les alertes ne sont pas paramètrable et celles actives et autorisées ne remontent pas.

A part localiser le véhicule et le fermer quand il capte le réseau, rien ne  prévient le vol.

Support technique indisponible et quand ça répond, ça donne des demi réponses et rejette le tort sur l’installateur.
À revoir plus sérieusement !

### 5/5 — Прикольно

*2025-05-28, version 2.1*

Прикольно работает. Ничего лишнего. Монджаро запускается на ура. Уведомления приходят молниеносно.

### 3/5 — Медленно

*2025-05-26, version 2.1*

Очень медленно работает приложение

### 3/5 — Сыровато

*2025-05-16, version 2.1*

1. Медленная загрузка.
2. При открытии карта отображается в планетарном масштабе (зачем?). Чтобы увидеть, где машина, надо коснуться карты (зачем требовать от пользователя лишнее действие?).
3. Карта не обновляется автоматически и показывает место предыдущей стоянки (не помогает ни нажатие на кнопку обновления в левом верхнем углу, ни нажатие на кнопку позиционирования в правом нижнем углу). Только выход из приложения и повторный вход.
4. Значок автомобиля на карте гигантский. Чтобы понять, где действительно находится автомобиль, надо вручную изменять масштаб.
5. Не все поездки отображаются в списке треков.
6. Невозможно задать объем топливного бака.

### 1/5 — Печаль и ужас.

*2025-05-08, version 2.1*

Вот как можно выпустить приложение хуже чем было предыдущее? Открывается от 10, до 15 секунд на 15 про Макс, показывает только пробег, остальные показатели то есть то нет. Ну и самое главное пульт который закрывает статус двигателя это вообще песня. В тех поддержке сказали все должно быть ок, переустановите. Переустановил результат тот же.
