### 1/5 — App doesn’t work

*2024-03-10*

Called and left messages for support. Never answered and didn’t return my call. They were more than happy to take my $$ though!!

### 1/5 — Don’t waste your money

*2023-12-20*

None of the registered information is correct.  Registering over 200 psi on properly inflated tires, mileage is off by about 40k, half the stuff doesn’t work.  Want a refund.

### 1/5 — Do not get it

*2023-12-13*

Will make you pay before even seeing if the app is compatible with your car. Terrible customer service. Asked for a refund since app won’t work with my car and they haven’t even responded. Don’t waste your time or money

They don’t tell you it won’t connect to your car until you’ve paid them 40.00. A total waste.

### 1/5 — App Store says 19.95 year but in the app it wants 39.95 year.

*2023-09-01*

App Store says 19.95 per year but in the app it says 39.95 a year. 
Won’t purchase until the advertised price is corrected. I’m ready to buy.

**Developer response:** Hello , thanks for the feedback , we will update it. Have a nice day

### 1/5 — Not compatible even though my yr and model is listed.

*2023-07-25*

It’s weird because you have to pay to even see if your vehicle is compatible. I took a gamble because I seen my car was listed as compatible on the site. It really isn’t and I would like a refund. It should be reversed for ppl to see if what they have is compatible first before giving any money. Would’ve gladly been happy with purchase if it really worked but it didn’t and I would like a refund. Still waiting for someone to email/contact me back as well.

**Developer response:** Hello, We are very sorry to hear this. please contact us to get the refund . Regards

### 1/5 — Not compatible

*2023-03-29*

You have to purchase this app to set up your car.   Although it says the newer cars are compatible, I didn’t find it until sure purchase that mine is not.   Immediately I requested to cancel and a refund and have not received the refund 🥲 this would be great if it worked for my car

### 1/5 — App Review

*2023-02-23*

### 1/5 — Price discrepancy

*2023-01-15, version 1.4*

Market in the app description in the AppStore that it’s 6.99/month or 19.99/year. This great price led me to download the app. Open the app to get started and it’s actually 14.99/month or 39.99/year. How does this make sense? Additionally, no free trial to see if I even like the app. Disappointed, will be taking my business elsewhere.

Complete scam

### 1/5 — Bad

Bad stole my money

### 1/5 — Not compatible

*2024-05-10*

I purchased this app in hopes that I could utilize the services it would supply.  The moment you download the app, it forces you to purchase it before finding out if it is compatible.  Having a Toyota RAV4, a very popular make and model, I didn’t think it wouldn’t be compatible.  Well as it turns out , it isn’t.  I requested a refund 3x through Apple and they denied me a refund.  I explained that my vehicle is not compatible with the app and I having the app was of no use to me.so I was entitled to a full refund.  Well they wouldn’t budge.  This is criminal activity on part of the app creator and Apple.  I will be placing a call to the BBB with my concerns.  I want and deserve a refund for this app.  I’m not going to stop until the refund is granted as it’s the right thing to do.  Shame on Apple for not taking care of there loyal customers.
