Now all the app does is customize the buttons, and they added door open buttons! ### 4/5 — Version 2.0 *2024-12-23* The new version seems better so far. The response time is improved and the system has not randomly disconnected yet. Only complaint at this point is the lack of Imperial temperature settings for us Americans. If the setting is in there, it’s NOT obvious. ### 4/5 — Massive Improvement *2024-12-21* The latest version of this app and the Ctrl-Bar firmware is an enormous improvement. The long-awaited BLE update makes the device a million times more reliable and responsive. These improvements would make it perfect: - Add button functions to toggle mirror folding and open the glovebox. - Let me set multiple buttons to do the same thing - Let me set a button to do nothing - Make firmware updates work when the app is backgrounded so I don’t have to stare at a progress bar for 10+ minutes. ### 1/5 — Worst product ever *2024-10-13* I have never once used it because the app it self simply won’t properly load after logging in! ### 1/5 — Waste of money *2024-07-07* This apps is too much expensive hoping it will perform good, but since the day i bought it i never used it the way as the maker advertised on the web. They keep on sending email that they are fixing it, but to date it is still unusable, what a waste of hard earned money!!! Really waste of money Since i bought this i never utilize to use it i emailed several time and telling me their update and bu june 2024 the apps will work but until now its still loading very disappointing waste of money ### 1/5 — Does not work *2024-04-28, version 1.2.47* I have had this 2 months now and the company is hopeless, the product does not work, nor the app ### 1/5 — 🚨Danger Will Robinson!! *2024-03-01* Very disappointed in this product, more so in myself for thinking that this invention would have been genuine. Should have paused and waited for it to be out for a while, before jumping straight in. Their help desk were not helpful and kept giving me the runaround. Save your money! This product is defective. ### 1/5 — Good at first. Garbage now *2024-02-16* My bar does not work anymore. Uninstall/reinstall doesn’t help. Error message every time I press any buttons. Temp dials no longer work. LED light is the only function left that works. I do have to change the color from bright green to blue every single time I get in the car. I was an initial kickstarter backer. Waste of $325. The creator is not responding to emails. I feel like they have abandoned this app and the CTRL Bar itself. ### 1/5 — Load of rubbish *2024-02-14, version 1.2.44* Stay away from this it fails to meet design intent and no support from company ### 1/5 — Unusable *2024-01-21* Bluetooth bug fixed, then two versions later broken again with the implementation of virtual key ## Frequently asked questions about Ctrl ### What devices can I manage with Ctrl-Bar?
