### 5/5 — Great Starting!

*2023-11-07, version 5.0.13*

Have enjoyed this starter on two vehicle's over 10 years. No trouble at all. Sorry to hear it will be discontinued next year.

### 1/5 — This app is garbage

*2023-04-09, version 5.0.13*

I downloaded the app, entered all of the details and instead of getting stats on where my son’s car is located, I get a black screen. When I close out the screen and get a map, it lands on Canada, but we are in the IS. When I Zoom in, it shows the car at home, BUT HE IS NOT HOME!  This app provides ZERO info! I am so angry right now for paying $58 to activate this dumb app! 😡

### 3/5 — Apparently they are not continuing with auto connect l

*2023-03-22, version 5.0.13*

So I found out when I went to reorder a ac202gps that certified tracking is no longer supporting autoconnect. Just a heads up once your contract is up you’ll have to switch to a new gps based starter because they are shutting down autoconnect

### 3/5 — Not working

*2023-03-06, version 5.0.13*

It’s been 2 months still being billed and I can’t get it to work at all. App crashes when I click on “About”

### 1/5 — Dated App & Unreliable

*2023-02-13, version 5.0.13*

Installed and tested in Edmonton Canada. Installed by Certified Radio. 

This app really looks and feels like it was written 10 years ago. it is in desperate need of updating. Having said that, it starts my car. Period. That’s really all I bought it for. But whenever I ask for other information, such as battery status or temperature I only get a response about 1/4 of the time. That’s pretty lousy. Please update the app. It needs to be modernized. Your competition offers things like Apple Watch support, a better interface, and similar pricing. You’ve really fallen behind with this one.

1 year update.
I’m cancelling my subscription. It works maybe half the time. Maybe. I have to keep calling them torefresh my account to make it work. Ridiculous.

Today I did a test. I sent an unlock command to my car. Keeping my phone screen on the whole time, it took 9 minutes and 38 seconds before the command was executed in my car. That makes this thing basically useless.

Old app design. Slow to connect to my car. Only receives commands some of the time so I can’t rely on it. This service is an epic fail.

### 2/5 — It doesn’t work now!!

*2022-12-12, version 5.0.13*

When I purchased this starter it was great, then after the first year it was very intermittent. Now after 2-1/2 years it doesn’t even work!!! Look at other brands for WAY less money !!

### 5/5 — Great service

*2022-09-16, version 5.0.12*

The customer service is second and on I just would like to say that I recommended the service to all my friends and family and I’m a lifetime subscriber

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work all the time

*2022-05-26, version 5.0.12*

Doesn’t unlock, lock, start, display battery voltage. Only wants to work once in a while.

### 1/5 — Faulty

*2022-03-17, version 5.0.12*

Never works properly 
Never sends start on the first time
Very unreliable system

### 1/5 — Garbage

*2021-11-24, version 5.0.12*

Useless app. Doesn’t even work most of the time
