### 1/5 — No good waste of money

*2026-08-26, version 5.0.0*

DO NOT INSTALL! They don’t offer a trail period to let you know what options you have before your actually charged! No way to get your money back if not compatible!!! Awful customer service!!!BEWARE!!!!

### 1/5 — NOT a Free app

*2026-08-21, version 5.0.0*

This app has absolutely no features until after you pay the weekly / monthly / yearly subscription fee.

### 5/5 — Luxury Export U.S.

*2026-08-14, version 4.3.19*

The name of 
the Brand is the Brand!

The first year the Lexus entered the U.S. Market my dad the dedicated Cadillac owner had to have a Lexus! My sentiments EXACTLY!

I love Mercedes! But I having an Affair with my wife’s Lexus!  That Pearl White at Night?  There’s nothing like it!

I am proud of the Toyota genius behind Lexus! I am also happy that the LC500 failed in the Market Place. It just told me that Lexus is not invincible! Everyone needs a reason to strive for greatness!

Lexus’ bruised ego may be that reason!

All great egos are bruised every once in a while. That’s how the great keeps being great! Thank you Lexus for enabling the affair with my wife’s pristine ES350.

LEXUS! What An Experience!

### 1/5 — Fake app, do not download

*2026-08-10, version 4.3.19*

This app is fake? It doesn’t connect and after you’ve paid $105.99, you lose your payment, you can’t cancel and get your money back. I’ve been trying for 3 days to get this app to connect with no luck and can’t get my money back.

### 1/5 — Refund

*2026-08-10, version 4.3.19*

The app states that it would work with my car and that it would be 10.00 monthly. I thought I was paying the monthly fee but they tried taking well over the amount that was listed for 5 months and I have no way of contacting them to get this matter resolved. I’m extremely disappointed and angry. I will tell all of my fellow Hyundai owners to stay away from this app.

### 1/5 — Don't do it

*2026-08-10, version 4.3.19*

Don't do it it's a total scam. It says in your car to get this app in order to install other apps. I did what it said and you cannot do it. It's a terrible outdated app Toyota should not even be promoting this because it doesn't work.

### 1/5 — Touchy touchy

*2026-08-09, version 4.3.19*

This app is the king of “I work and function when I feel like it”

### 1/5 — DO NOT DOWNLOAD

*2026-08-07, version 4.3.19*

We had to pay for the app before knowing of it would work on our vehicle.. once we realized we could not use it we have tried everything to reach some sort of support.. unfortunately we paid the 6 month upfront fee and now have no way of getting our money back. I’ve tried reporting an issue (only way to possibly reaching someone) and have not heard back.. horrible customer service.. never used any features so couldn’t tell you if it even works.. PLEASE DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY!

### 5/5 — Aple car plat
