They want $20/month for features that a script kid could implement and these "FEATURES" will not work on every car. They are obviously using bots to hype the reviews and their overall business tactics are scammy. If this app was free it still would NOT be worth the download so they hide it behind a paywall so that you will pay for their failure. ### 1/5 — Scam *2025-08-09, version 1.2.8* Scam dont buy, Screen doesn’t commect. Fake Reviews. ### 1/5 — No Old School *2025-08-07, version 1.2.8* Got this for a 2010 Ford F150 but it only works for 2017 and newer. It should let you check your vehicle first before dropping $50! ### 4/5 — Julio crv *2025-07-28, version 1.2.6* Romeros ### 1/5 — 23€/ mois!!! Pour du miroring *2025-07-26, version 1.2.6* Compenser une option qui devrait etre de base, c’est bien mais un abonnement c’est jne escroquerie surtout à ce prix c’est plus chere que Netglix et Crunchirol réuni! ### 1/5 — Doesn’t screen cast to my 2025 Toyota *2025-07-20, version 1.2.4* I’ve tried multiple times to screencast to my Tacoma but it just connects the phone to CarPlay and that’s it. No screencast. No app that pops up on my trucks screen. Nothing. ### 1/5 — Rubbish *2025-07-11, version 1.2.4* Utter rubbish and does not work ### 1/5 — Fake Reviews, Scam! *2025-06-07, version 1.2.2* The 5 star reviews are obviously fake. App is a complete scam. Report apps like this to Apple so we can get the scams removed! Scroll down on store page just a little further and click “Report a Problem” and follow the steps to report the app as a scam to Apple or request the refund through Apple itself! ### 1/5 — 20:E2:A8:30:9C:F6 *2025-06-02, version 1.2.2* 20:E2:A8:30:9C:F6 ### 1/5 — Doesn’t even work *2025-05-18, version 1.1.0* No way of checking if it works with the car. Paid £80 for the lifetime and can’t even use it. No way to get money back either ### 1/5 — Cannot use on Apple! *2025-05-16, version 1.1.0* The Cast to Device does not work/does not respond! ### 1/5 — Fake app *2025-04-17, version 1.1.0* Nu face ceea ce spune… am cumparat degeaba ### 3/5 — مكه جده *2025-04-12, version 1.1.0* سلامتك ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — SUBSCRIPTION REQUIRED!!! *2026-08-02, version 1.3.5* This app requires a payment for the service in order to access the app subscription features. Each time you click on a link to preview a feature, an advertisement pops up for approximately 10-15 seconds before you can clear it from the screen. ### 1/5 — Harltech *2026-07-27, version 1.3.5* Edwin ### 1/5 — Stuck at selecting the year of my car model *2026-04-16, version 1.2.15* No next button to guide you ### 1/5 — Not worth to download *2026-02-11, version 1.2.15* The app is forcing you to pay for subscription before you can try it. Don’t waste tour time! Add a demo feature otherwise useless app! ### 1/5 — Overpriced *2026-02-10, version 1.2.15* Overpriced what it offers. Everyone seems to believe their niche services should be accompanied by a $20 monthly subscription these days. ### 1/5 — Scam *2026-01-23, version 1.2.13* I tried this app after it told me my car was compatible. It wasn’t! Now apple won’t give me a refund and I’m out $50. I wish I had read the reviews before I went by the stars…. I won’t be making that mistake again. ### 1/5 — There is no trial period. *2026-01-22* How can I know whether to give money for the program or not. It’s very ugly without letting him understand the functionality, he immediately asks for money. One star, guys. **Developer response:** Thanks for taking out time to rate us.

RIP OFF. ### 1/5 — Does not work as advertised *2025-12-06, version 1.2.11* The app requires car compatibility and does not work with every car. The only way to find out is after you purchase a plan. Do not purchase unless your car already accepts CarPlay in which case you don’t need the app. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Duhok *2026-07-31, version 1.3.5* Duhok ### 5/5 — Krmpotic *2026-07-16, version 1.3.5* Good ### 5/5 — Aaaa *2026-06-25, version 1.3.1* Bbb ### 5/5 — Download now *2026-01-10, version 1.2.13* Great quick easy ### 5/5 — الرياض *2025-04-20, version 1.1.0* القويعية ### 5/5 — Mha *2025-02-24, version 1.0.15* Alithari4848 ### 5/5 — Tasha *2025-02-23, version 1.0.15* G ### 5/5 — حيدر *2025-02-08, version 1.0.14* الحكم ### 5/5 — GgG *2025-02-04, version 1.0.14* Cxxc ### 5/5 — Colunvia 2020 *2025-01-28, version 1.0.14* Rudy 2020 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
