Le compteur retourne continuellement au début. ### 3/5 — Apple watch *2025-10-17, version 1.1.9.8* L’app My car a une app pour apple Watch quand sera t’il le cas pour votre app. Il faut mettre plus de l’attitude a modifier certaines choses comme miles en km, le temps de de refresh des infos sur l’app. Bref pas mal de chose à faire la dessus. ### 3/5 — Helpful tips and suggestions *2025-09-13, version 1.1.9.8* To switch from miles to km, go to Settings, Terminal Settings, Function settings, Switch on ODO, Switch off Miles, go back to the main screen, and see besides mileage, the number with KM. For the developer, please fix the fuel level or remove it, and add popular car brands that are missing (Chrysler, Dodge, Alfa Romeo, GMC and more). And maybe some way to rename the aux functions, and add programmed remote start. Great app nonetheless. ### 3/5 — Bugs *2025-02-26, version 1.1.7.5* Good app, but I live in Canada. And I can’t change from miles to kilometres , also I can’t see my fuel level, it’s always stuck at 0%. Please fix this! ### 3/5 — Vraie mise à jour souhaitée *2024-12-30, version 1.1.7.5* Je ne sais pas pourquoi on a présenté une mise à jour le 3 décembre alors qu’il n’y a aucune mise à jour de l’application depuis 8 mois. De plus, il y a toujours ce bug dans l’odométrage. Impossible également de programmer un démarrage par grand froid. ### 2/5 — Its Kinda Functional *2024-12-08, version 1.1.7.5* The app was clearly written by contractors, the app sometimes forget what language is set and shows popups in chinese/taiwanese. The app's basic functions work like lock/unlock and start. I really would like if the app was made using apple's own user interface design and if the translations from the contracts were more accurate. You cannot change the model of the car on the main screen. ### 3/5 — Buggggggg *2024-11-30, version 1.1.7.5* L’application comporte beaucoup de bug vibration pour informer un notification mes elle n’est pas apparente réglage du bluethoot Pke fonctionne pas degeulasse ### 3/5 — Update need *2024-10-17, version 1.1.7.5* Hello, they need to update the app because it has connection failures in ios18 ### 2/5 — Weird notifications *2024-01-06, version 1.1.0.0* Keep getting weird vibrations but no notifications!? Sometimes says car started ; but didn’t. Please update for ios17 ### 2/5 — Annoying on iOS 17 *2023-12-15, version 1.1.0.0* Please update app for newer iOS versions Notifications don’t work and are sending random vibrations without notifications All other functions of app work, ### 3/5 — Only basic features work. *2023-11-16, version 1.1.0.0* The basic functions of locking, unlocking, engine start, trunk, work well. I really wish it would support “idle mode”, so you could press the start button while the car is running, then it would keep running if you remove the keys. This is convenient when you forget something from the house or when going quickly into a convenience store. If someone presses the brake, it shuts down. This feature is supported on another reputable phone module. Also, the PKE doesn’t work on my car, and I’m working to see how push notifications work. The temperature only shows in Celcius, which is not used in the USA. The module is new in the USA, so I guess it still needs development. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Get a different brand *2026-02-15, version 1.3.0.9* Makes my phone vibrate for no reason. Does not always start my car but, says it has so I have to go look and start it again. Defeats the purpose of a 2-way starter. The majority of the time the count down timer resets after 5-7 seconds. This next part isn’t about the app but the product itself. You can’t open any doors or even the trunk without turning off the auto start unless you start the car first. This is hard on the battery especially in Canadian winters. My last car with aftermarket car starter would shut off if I opened only the driver door. ### 1/5 — Pas au top!!! *2026-02-12, version 1.3.0.9* L’application bug régulièrement pour ma part et ce N’est pas un problème de réseau. Parfois l’application me permet de démarrer mon véhicule d’autre fois non. Si ce n’est pas cela c’est autre chose comme le fait de voir que mon véhicule est en marche mais qu’en réalité à ma grande surprise il ne l’est pas… Bref un peu déçu aux que coûte ce service… ### 1/5 — Bad *2025-12-12, version 1.2.0.7* They’re letting evostart 2 go obsolete to sell another product, be aware, to the owner, please reinstate app asap ### 1/5 — Please fix bugs in Evo start 2 *2025-11-17, version 1.2.0.7* Please update evo start 2 app fix the bugs its not working anymore. You guys update evo start every week whar about evo start 2 it didn’t get any update since 3 years please update evo start 2 it’s not working ### 1/5 — Do not buy *2025-01-22, version 1.1.7.5* Do not buy this product. Utter garbage ### 1/5 — App vibrating *2024-11-30, version 1.1.7.5* This app is annoying constantly vibrating since I’ve installed it, kinda pisses me off considering the price you pay to have the command start installed, also would like to note that I have a truck and there’s no option to have a truck displaying to have it more customized to your actual vehicle. ### 1/5 — Keeps going offline! *2024-08-08, version 1.1.7.5* I'm so frustrated because the app keeps saying my car is offline and the Bluetooth connection is intermittent at best (can only start my vehicle half of the time). I've uninstalled and reinstalled the app, restarted my phone, checked all of my settings, etc., but it's still not working properly. The remote car starter was professionally installed just a few months ago and I count on it to be able keep my vehicle at a comfortable temperature for the dogs when I have to run in a store or something--it's currently showing the internal temperature of the car is 98°F but the air temperature is only 59°F and we haven't seen high temps in several days now. What am I supposed to do in order to get it communicating again, short of going back to the shop that installed it? Nothing has changed in terms of my phone or the starter, so I don't understand what could have happened? ### 1/5 — Problème avec identification *2024-06-24, version 1.1.7.5* Problème si vous avez l’application sur 2 cellulaire différent il faut toujours ce reconnecter a chaque fois quand on change de cellulaire ça affiche connection expiré . ### 1/5 — Grosse déception *2024-02-09, version 1.1.0.0* Alarme sur le téléphone non fonctionnel sauf alarme base tension qui sonne en pleine nuit pour rien. ### 1/5 — Slow to get status update *2023-10-24, version 1.1.0.0* Something went wrong with the app and now car status update takes 10 to 20 second. It was 1 to 2 second before. Developer, needs to do something and fix it ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Works as designed every time! *2025-10-23, version 1.1.9.8* I have had and tested just about every single one of the products that allow cellular control through an aftermarket remote start system and this one is the most reliable. Nothing crazy that allows you much customization of the vehicle appearance or the Home Screen etc. It just works and works great unlike some other brands I have used in the past that led me to believe I would be running out to an unlocked vehicle after sending the command and it saying it did so, while in my underwear at -15 that is not very fun to have to run back inside and grab your keys or just not know if it will be consistent. I highly recommend Evo Start paired with any of the Fortin Evo control units for your vehicle remote start and security needs. ### 5/5 — ShortCuts in iPhone *2024-07-08, version 1.1.7.5* Can I use the app with IOS shortcut? ### 5/5 — Good product, a lot of features. *2023-02-18, version 1.0.2.2* Very good product, a lot of features. Especially PKE and geofence. You got more than what you paid for. ### 4/5 — obojarah95 App User ⚠️ *2025-11-04, version 1.2.0.7* ⚠️ Please add the missing -add Face ID when lunching App for Secure. -add Apple Watch App just With important Button (Start/Stop, Open Door/Close Door) Features.
