Do not bother. Honda should do better ### 2/5 — Great concept... lost opportunity *2019-10-29, version 1.2.2* It’s a great concept but not having the ability to control volume and sound is a lost opportunity. Not worth having app on devices, taking up space, if passengers can’t adjust volume in second/third rows of vehicle. ### 1/5 — Plugged my phone into our 2012 CRV, it suggests this, despite not supporting it *2019-07-18, version 1.2.2* Title says it all, really. This does not support older models of Honda. I’m sorry if that’s where you’re here from. ### 2/5 — Socisl playlists *2019-05-25, version 1.2.2* The concept it’s great but it doesn’t work on my odyssey. The app shows my artists, albums and playlist on my iPhone but once you select an album there are no songs to select. I've search the internet several times to find a solution to this bug but there is nothing about there. ### 1/5 — Social Playlist is useless *2019-04-09, version 1.2.1* Sees all of my artists and playlists but there are no songs. Music is on phone. ### 1/5 — Won’t accept the given password!! *2019-03-31, version 1.2.1* Not one app worked My pilot. In this particular case the app won’t accept the password that shows in screen. I’m really not happy with any of your programs. They’re worth nothing. ### 1/5 — Horrible *2018-10-04, version 1.1.0* It made my sony device crash!!! the minute i downloaded this and connected my phone to it, my sony turned off and had to reset it. Horrible APP. ### 1/5 — 2013 CR-V suggests this app, but the app does not work *2018-07-04, version 1.1.0* We have a 2013 CR-V, when I connect my iPhone it says that I should install this app. The app doesn’t support our vehicle. What a bad user experience. ### 1/5 — Won't connect 👎👎👎 *2017-11-08, version 1.0.3* I tried many many times to make it connect. The connect instructions provided with the app DO NOT WORK. Come on Honda .... ### 1/5 — Really wish it would work *2017-05-26, version 1.0.1* Unable to really say how great it is as it aborts the second I open it. Please fix!!! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Worthless *2023-06-30* Can’t even connect! Phone and car connected to Wi-Fi and it says I need to connect to Wi-Fi. Fix your problem because other people have the same issue!! ### 1/5 — Useless App *2023-05-11* Does nothing useful if it even can connect ### 1/5 — This App Is Pointless *2023-03-25* I’m new to Honda, and I download this app thinking it was something that you could use to control the temp while you used auto start. However this app is just to use while you sit in the vehicle. This app just promotes pure laziness. If you cannot physically control the temperature setting yourself or ask the driver/front passenger. Well then you’re lazy ### 1/5 — Honda doesn’t know this app works on 2022 Passport Trailsports *2022-11-06, version 2.0.0* I contacted Honda agent multiple times, no one seems to know about this app. One person who knows about it keep asking if I’m using Accura. Honda team please let me know if this app WILL WORK on 2022 Passport Trail-sports version. Because, my vehicle setting shows this app and your agent doesn’t know which is very strange! ### 1/5 — Please update Social Playlists *2022-07-06, version 2.0.0* As the other reviewers have said, Social Playlists are only good if you have bought the music and downloaded it. Problem for me is my music library is in Apple Music and this thing of an app does not detect it. I even tried downloading my Apple Music songs but it is just the same. I've had this app in my phone for a couple of years holding out for an update that will improve the Social Playlists feature. But NOPE. The only one I've seen is a redesign update from 1 year ago at the time of this review. PLEASE PLEASE for the love of God, update the Social Playlists feature to better support Apple Music and even third-party music apps like Spotify. Developers, I doubt you read any of these reviews but PLEASE get this feature to work!!! ### 1/5 — No songs found *2021-10-02, version 2.0.0* Like other reviewers, I agree the concept is great - allowing passengers to choose music from their devices. However, the app is unable to locate songs though is able to navigate the artists in their library. Pretty pointless in the end if they can’t actually add the songs. ### 1/5 — Connectivity and update issues. *2021-09-11, version 2.0.0* It has connectivity issues and lack of features, Also All models with remote start should be provided remote start option so that in winter we can start car from the app itself and get the desired temperature before entering the car. Other manufacturers are providing these facilities on their even low priced models. Honda should update it and make it helpful and user friendly. ### 1/5 — Hi *2021-04-21, version 2.0.0* Can you update app for the 2020 Honda CR-V remote starter and other vb thanks ### 1/5 — Bad app and experience *2020-03-21, version 1.3.0* This app was recommended when I plugged my phone into the USB power. It isn’t even supported for my ‘14 RLX. Waste of a download! ### 1/5 — Social Playlist does not work *2020-01-05, version 1.2.2* The Artists and Playlists show up but no songs, so I can’t queue up any songs. For clarity I am using Apple Music. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — I love this app *2021-12-06, version 2.0.0* This app is amazing you can do anything with the app ### 4/5 — Great...but *2020-06-27, version 1.3.0* It only supports Apple Music. Not other music platforms like tidal and Spotify. Also, it connects with WI-FI! (0__o) it disconnects you from cellular and uses wifi, NOT BLUETOOTH (which is weird because it asks for your location). Please fix this app so i can use social playlists and not just control the rear AC. ### 3/5 — Like idea but.. *2023-11-18* PLEASE UPDATE WITH VOLUME AND BALANCE FADE! I wish I could control volume and settings like moving the sound to the back of the van, or adjusting volume…. As a mom it frequently identifies me as the driver when I am NOT and in the backseat with the kids. We resolve that by plugging in my husbands phone to AirPlay- but I still can’t control volume or things to help while my husband is driving and we have frequent requests from the back. ### 3/5 — Great concept, need more distance coverage *2022-07-21, version 2.0.0* I love this idea, and tried it and works perfectly, except how can I do it outside of the car. I thought the whole point of it was to be somewhere and maybe want to send directions something to the navi. You have to be on the cars WIFI in order for it to work. ### 3/5 — Why does it take forever for Navigation to pull results *2019-04-01, version 1.2.1* Like the idea of the app, having a remote control in my hand while sitting in the back is a great idea. I have a problem with the navigation feature of the app taking an eternity to resolve an address when I am trying to send an address to the main unit for navigation. Also would be nice if volume controls were added to the app, ability to raise volume, changer fader setting would be appreciated. Thank you ### 3/5 — Shouldn’t need location services *2018-01-03, version 1.0.4* The app refuses to work unless access to location services is granted. There’s no reason for this if you’re just trying to stream music. ### 3/5 — Just wanted to leave a message for the developers *2017-05-28, version 1.0.1* The app kills battery right now because of location services being on all the time. Please update this to time out after app is closed or to only use when app is open. Literal 23% battery usage since I downloaded it and I didn't even hook it up to the van yet! ### 2/5 — Whats the point *2024-05-30* Just noticed all the cool features my new Honda has to offer(never owned one before) and tried to use the social playlist function but it doesn’t find any of the music I have on my phone. Absolutely zero features that work other than the AC controls. Extremely disappointing. App hasn’t been updated in 3years is a joke ### 2/5 — Apple Music *2021-08-28, version 2.0.0* To the reviewers stating you cant see your music. They wont let you use apple music songs. Only songs youve purchased i guess. Until you give that crucial option i will give it 2 stars. ### 2/5 — iOS14 Support *2020-12-27, version 2.0.0* App is not functional on iOS 14. Does not request local network access to connect to the Honda systems on WiFi. Works great on iOS 13. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
