I want a refund ### 2/5 — Decent app still full of bugs *2022-02-17, version 5.6.3* Purchased it to use with my Pioneer head unit. The Spotify portion works flawlessly. Everything else closes out of the app on the head unit when attempting to use it. Mainly the maps portion. ### 1/5 — Péssimo, YouTube não funciona, não recomento. *2022-02-05* Baixei o App, fiz todas as configurações e mesmo assim não funciona o YouTube, o App é bloqueado na hora de fazer o login na conta Google!

Please fiiix or what should i do next? ### 1/5 — Junk *2022-01-03, version 5.6.3* This won’t let me log into YouTube. All the pioneer apps are garbage. Wasted my money on other apps also. App radio and app radio live are all junk don’t wast your time. ### 1/5 — Trash *2021-11-28, version 5.6.3* Paid for YouTube and it says I need to sign in then when I try to it says the website is not secure ... ### 1/5 — Not worth 1 star *2021-11-06, version 5.6.3* I purchased guided navigation package, then each time I try to download map the app crashes….. wow ### 4/5 — Please release an update fixing browser error *2021-06-03* when I'm going to log into the Google account to access YouTube from this message : This browser or app may not be secure.

Will not let me log in into my YouTube, will not even load the videos up. ### 1/5 — Não funciona *2020-11-02* Aplicativo não funciona, comprei o serviço do YouTube e da erro na hora de logar no aplicativo pq ele não foi validado pelo Google 🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️ ### 1/5 — App crashes on download of maps *2020-08-18* I have been unable to download any maps into the app. Every time a map region is selected for download, the app crashes. Money wasted, until this is fixed. Running on iPhone 8 Plus. Only purchased for the maps which does not work hence 1/5 stars as I am unable to select zero. ### 4/5 — Great idea *2020-08-09* I like the app, great idea but I bought the NewsBlur add on and it does not work, I get a login error when trying to log in via EC, but logging in via newsblur works. I’d buy the Navi addin if I knew it would work. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — awful *2024-10-09* plugged my phone into my car and was prompted to download this app so i did- i was met with a black screen with some green buttons that did nothing useless app don’t even waste your time ### 1/5 — Terrible *2024-08-22* I only gave this app 1 star because I could not give it 0. I have never written a review for an app but was compelled to given how bad this is. Terrible interface, not usable. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work and they steal your money every month *2023-12-28* The app doesn’t work correctly. I request the company to cancel the subscription but yet they keep billing me. This is got to be the most crooked developer in the App Store. DO MOT DOWNLOAD THIS APP OR YOU WILL BE SPEMDING MONEY FOR NOTHING !! I am reporting this developer to the fair trades commission. ### 1/5 — Terrible App, same as all Pioneer Apps *2023-02-07* What good is a GPS if there is no sound. EC Touch GPS is Pitiful. For a tech company, Pioneer should bury their head in Shame. I have had my Pioneer Automobile system for seven years and everytime I use the system I see quality with terrible app software. Bottom line I want buy another Pioneer stereo/ app system. ### 1/5 — Junk *2023-01-23* Junk ### 1/5 — Facing problem *2023-01-21* I have purchased YouTube and map Paid around 800 rupees but not opening asking again nd again pay Waste of money ### 1/5 — Not worth it *2022-12-14* Not sure if this app is fully functional I have a avh500ex pioneer and purchased the 5.99 nav not worth the money wishing I could use Waze ### 1/5 — Bulloney *2022-12-13* Really. Worthless without purchasing what I already have on my phone just to use it on pioneer avh7700bt. Ya old right. Outdated it seems. Just another piece of tech that you pay top dollar for that turns into a joke. This app is the only link to displaying your apps on this stereo through the unit without extra tech like CarPlay. Why did pioneer do this. It was like a slap to the consumer. Now that it’s outdated why haven’t the developers allowed native iPhone apps permissions to be seen. Lame Lame Lame. Big fat “0” for these developers!!! ### 1/5 — When will the update be coming out for iPhone iOS 11 *2022-09-14, version 5.6.3* Comes up in my iPhone 12 but saying no maps when I go to download map it shuts down …. App needs a update ### 1/5 — YouTube didn’t work *2022-08-29, version 5.6.3* I paid the $2.99 to access the YouTube but it doesn’t work at all. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Free *2019-09-24* App is good but it should be free. ### 5/5 — Best pioneer AVH-x3**DAB App *2017-03-10, version 5.4.2* I have payed the £6.99 and my car has more functions than most new car's I can view the web listen to YouTube and Spotify the only 2 issues I have are your iPhone screen stays on and you have to allow the app to open when you connect to the unit I'm sure these can be fixed in an update. Apart from that's this is an excellent app 5* ### 5/5 — Everything works. *2015-06-24, version 4.3* But pls put it in the Lincoln logo also!! I dont know about the other users but to me Everything works just perfect. The only things it's little slow when I need to type on the screen. ### 5/5 — METEO *2014-06-22, version 4.0.1* Since few days, the meteo tell me ERROR all day long.. I restore my iphone and still nothing… ?? ### 5/5 — Great *2014-06-13, version 4.0.1* Thanks for fixing weather ### 5/5 — This app makes the AppRadio great *2014-02-04, version 3.1* Without this, I would be quite unhappy with my AppRadio 2. This is essentially what the AppRadio should come with out of the box... ### 5/5 — Great app only wish... *2014-02-03, version 3.1* That the iPod music interface had a "song" tab to go along with the "artist,playlist, etc" tabs. I like to listen to my music on shuffle and there's not really a shuffle all songs option. ### 5/5 — EC Touch *2014-02-03* I download this app mainly because AppEx (app radio extensions, for jail broke devices) isn't updated for iPhone 5S/iOS7 yet. I didn't know what to expect from this app, as I have never heard of it. I must say I am extremely satisfied with it! It doesn't have all the features AppEx does, such as texting from the radio, email, ETC; BUT this is a HUGE step in the right direction! if you want to gain some more functionality from your AppRadio I HIGHLY recommend this app. 5 STARS! ### 5/5 — Dee *2013-10-14, version 3.0.4* Very good find for music!!!!!! ### 5/5 — Spot on *2013-08-27* Version 3.0.1 - all previous bugs fixed and working great now, back up to 5 stars you go! Version 3.0 - iPod part of the app crashes the app instantly and repeatedly. The tune in radio app seems to play 2 streams of the same station so you get an echo effect. The new design and layout are great but just too many bugs!! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
