Nothing happening and app has limited functionality. No vin, no tyres nothing. Speedo doesn’t even show. Awful! ### 1/5 — Poor ID *2026-07-25, version 2.0* This is not my account that I was supposed to be opened up in. It is my son’s who has totally different credentials. This sucks. ### 2/5 — Só mais um aplicativo. *2026-07-25* Não conecta com CarPlay no iPad, mesmo dizendo ser compatível. ### 1/5 — Just does not connect to your screen - useless *2026-07-25, version 2.0* Save you money as no app appears in CarPlay screen and this is a simple approach missed by the developers ### 3/5 — Poor *2026-07-24, version 2.0* Only works 50 percent of the time even though you’re paying full price for the service you ### 1/5 — What good is CARPLAY if it’s unreliable?? *2026-07-24, version 2.0* Would be so much nicer if it worked every time instead of literally less than half of the time, failing when you need it most. ### 1/5 — Vin *2026-07-23, version 2.0* Hostesses ### 1/5 — Bad product *2026-07-22, version 2.0* You know it’s a car play app. Why would you have it turn off screen when not touched? ### 1/5 — Crazy CarPlay! *2026-07-20, version 2.0* I use the system primarily for Google directions and to listen to audio books, and it was great initially. But in the past few months it randomly starts calling people on my favorites list, usually when an audio book is playing. I have to quickly end the call but then it goes on to the next person. Some lucky folks might get five calls from me in a short period of time. I can’t end the calls on my dashboard, only on my phone, which isn’t always safe. A visit to the dealership is in my future. ### 1/5 — Rubbish *2026-07-16, version 2.0* Rubbish ### 1/5 — Hard to Set Up *2026-07-16, version 2.0* I’ve been to set up in my RAV4 to no avail. ### 3/5 — Settings *2026-07-15, version 2.0* This app is difficult to manipulate. Among other things, I cannot personalize my car make and model. ### 1/5 — Misleading information *2026-07-15, version 2.0* The app works mostly, but some of the things mentioned, simply are for show, no functionality. I would pass on sending money as it seems to be misleading, and you find out until after sending money. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Don’t like it! *2026-08-16, version 2.0* It’s useless. I still learning my new Jeep. For now this app offered me nothing. ### 1/5 — This app sucks *2026-08-10, version 2.0* Big ZERO for this no-use, no-communication waste of time and money. ### 1/5 — Cancel *2026-08-08, version 2.0* How do I cancel this there is no way and it doesn’t work in my car. ### 1/5 — carplay app *2026-08-08, version 2.0* don’t get this App it doesn’t work I am canceling and asking for refund ### 1/5 — Slow, clunky, and nowhere near worth the price *2026-08-07, version 2.0* **★☆☆☆☆ Slow, clunky, and nowhere near worth the price** I bought this expecting a proper CarPlay experience. What I got was an app that lags behind every tap. Select something and there's a solid two or three second pause before anything happens, which is the last thing you want when you're driving. Half the time I've given up and gone back to the built-in options. The feature list is thin too. Basics that should be standard are either missing or locked behind another upgrade, and what's there feels unfinished. There's no real reason to use this over the free apps already sitting on my phone. For what it costs, I expected polish. Instead it feels like a beta someone decided to charge for. Save your money until they sort out the responsiveness and actually give you something worth paying for. ### 1/5 — Awful - Don’t use *2026-08-06, version 2.0* I downloaded this thinking it would help me get connected to my rental car but I ended up needing a cord. So I canceled my free subscription within the first day and it still went ahead and charged me. Clearly this is a bad app and even worse billing practices but also blame Apple as well. ### 1/5 — False Advertising *2026-08-02, version 2.0* The app does not appear on your CarPlay screen as advertised. It looks cool on your phone but your dashboard remains the same as before ### 1/5 — IN APP PURCHASE REQUIRED *2026-08-02, version 2.0* Can’t utilize features unless you purchase a subscription to the service. ### 1/5 — Terrible *2026-08-01, version 2.0* Locked up my iPhone 16. No way to close the app as it disables swiping from the bottom. I ended up using Siri to reboot the phone, but even getting that to work was difficult Has a radio section but no option for Australia and only 3-4 stations in other countries. DAB+ has 88 in Melbourne alone! ### 1/5 — Pessimo *2026-08-01* Tinha opção de teste mas não presta HORRÍVEL, quero meu dinheiro de volta ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Ty *2026-08-04, version 2.0* Good ### 5/5 — Hazhar *2026-08-02, version 2.0* Hazhar ### 5/5 — Awesome features *2026-07-25, version 2.0* Very easy to navigate through. ### 5/5 — Frank *2026-07-24, version 2.0* Tacoma ### 5/5 — Dani00 *2026-07-22, version 2.0* Adan00 ### 5/5 — Love *2026-07-11, version 2.0* I love car play.
