Screen mirror

Very poor not worth

Support system below average.

Your product is terrible. It will not scan QR codes.

Response from developer

Hi there, what happened when you scanned the QR code? Did you try entering the 5 character code as an alternative? Both of these options will pair your phone and Tesla display for you. Feel free to reach out to hello@carcastapp.com for further support.

Terrible app

App don’t work while in drive … the whole purpose is to cast while drive but doesn’t work … app glitches … don’t fall for it

Response from developer

Hi, sorry to hear you're having difficulties. Do you have premium connectivity or are you tethering your phone to your Tesla? Once your phone is linked to the Tesla display and you select Drive mode, it should connect as normal. If you want to email hello@caracastapp.com we can help you further with this.

Worst playback quality ever. Don’t bother.

If they could fix latency at allllllll it would be ok.

Response from developer

Hi, sorry to hear you're having difficultie. Have you tried the tips for around latency in the help and support section of the app or on the Tesla web page? You can change your audio source to solve the latency issue, the support section details exactly how to do this. Thanks

Does not work with video apps

This app was pushed through social media ads and advertised as allowing streaming of movies and phone apps to my Tesla screen. The videos that are allowed are minimal and the app displays a black screen for movies from Apple TV, Hulu, Disney+, Netflix, etc. I should have been more cautious when the ads had comments turned off. There is no way to warn others to not waste your money on this app.

Response from developer

Hi, Sorry to hear you’ve had a negative experience. The reason for this is DRM, a number of apps don’t allow streaming for copy protection. You can watch your own movies on the app from apps such as VLC as well as IPTV and some streaming apps too. App support and restrictions are listed in the App Store listing to outline this in full as well as the help and support section in the app too. We offer a free tier for anyone who wants to try before they buy.

Not working

It is not working for me. It keeps say loading and never mirror the screen. Need to refund my money

Response from developer

Sorry to hear you’ve had issues. We had an issue with one of our data centers which has since been resolved. We’ve made steps to prevent this from happening again. Feel free to try again or reach out and we’ll be happy to give you a refund.

Park mode won’t load

Park mode just stuck at loading. Drive mode works but is definitely not for video streaming.

Response from developer

We had an issue with one of our data centers which has since been resolved. Might be worth trying again. Thanks for the feedback!

Almost perfect

I haven’t had the problems many others have mentioned. It pretty much “just works” for me. App is well polished. Screen even rotate when it detects that my phone is in landscape mode, instead of having to switch it myself. I do have some audio crackling issue. Not sure if it’s my connection or if it’s a problem with the app.

Only for tesla car

Only work for tesla

Response from developer

I’m sorry to hear you’ve had a bad experience but the app listing clearly states this app is for Tesla vehicles. The word Tesla is in the app subtitle, it’s all over the App Store images, the word Tesla is mentioned 11 times in the description and the supported vehicle list has only Tesla vehicles on it.

Latency is terrible

Not worth the price. Depending on your use case it is viable, but again not worth it. If you are getting it to any sort of media it is absolutely terrible. I got it so I can use my plex media while charging but the latency is so bad that it is completely unwatchable. Unfortunately had to pay a premium price just to find out that it is not usable. Don’t make my mistake, go elsewhere.

- Update to developer response:
I appreciate your reply but see two issues. The Bluetooth connection to my car is considered the key, so I never turn that off. Second, the fact that your app requires a stable internet connection is a flaw that other apps in this space do not have. Other apps have you connect your car to your phones hotspot so they are directly linked. For some reason your app requires everything to through your servers. Added point of failure as well as added security risk.

Response from developer

Sorry to hear you've had a bad experience. In terms of latency, double check the connection speed you have on both your car and phone, a poor signal is the main reason for latency. We're going to build a connection tester into the app in the future. That said, with your use case latency should be irrelevant. Make sure you're not using Bluetooth audio but turning off the Bluetooth connection. The audio will stream to the browser and remain in sync with the video playing and store your phone away and you should have no problems watching Plex. If you want further support raise a support ticket in the app and we'll be happy to assist. Kind regards Laurie
