### 2/5 — Works but there is a lot that is missing

*2026-08-30, version 26.6.10*

Overall the app connects fairly quickly and works with little latency issues with the navigation.  I ride a 2026 Honda Rebel 1100T.

That is about where all the good ends with this app. The lack of having Spotify being able to be connected is really bad as well as other music apps. I read this was an Apple issue but how does that work with CarPlay allowing it, seems sus.

Not being able to answer my phone with the tft/app when receiving a call is just wild.  It shows the notification you are getting a call but requires either your helmet unit for audio to pick up the call or to use the phone itself, again what is the point of showing me I have a call if I can’t answer it??

The lack of an actual map is annoying as well as not being able to make a route myself is just a bad design.

### 3/5 — Pourquoi ?

*2026-08-27*

Nouveau design plus que bien venu. Ça fait du bien. Par contre pourquoi on ne peut pas avoir les appels et sms qui s’affichent et aussi pouvoir choisir son application pour écouter la musique comme sur Android? Vraiment dommage

### 1/5 — UI & Features need more work

*2026-08-20*

I think the product Honda is selling in the market is absolutely GOAT but coming to this app. I feel that it needs more work on the user interface and the features. I had many expectations before downloading the app, but doesn’t feel like that.

### 1/5 — Careless developer

*2026-08-14, version 26.5.10*

They collect way too much privacy invading data. They also didn’t implement a checking if media is already being played to avoid interruption other apps playing if one accidentally bumps a button. Clearly made by someone who never rides. Also the navigation is crazy. The navigation favorites don’t show even a nickname or anything on the bike.

### 1/5 — It need a lot of more work

*2026-08-13, version 26.5.10*

The app seems it will work but it doesn’t.

### 1/5 — Needs improvement

*2026-08-08*

The app is basic and the Satnav just about works if you get the right destination to begin with. The two major gripes are, the navigation resets every time you stop. Any other satnav would resume where it left off but this app starts recording a new journey with no destination. EG today I only did 80 miles but had 3 stops. This was recorded as 4 journeys. No other Satnav that I am aware of does that. Please fix this or at least give the user a choice.

### 1/5 — Directions are terrible

*2026-08-08, version 26.5.10*

Doesn’t tell you the exit for the upcoming roundabout. What’s the point?

### 1/5 — Please integrate Google Maps for iPhone

*2026-08-03, version 26.5.10*

If I can have turn by turn for Google on my Apple Watch we should at least get that for the bike. Please fix. Also I can’t set route in the app, only voice which is horrible

### 3/5 — On-dash turn-by-turn signal

*2026-07-31*

Roundabout: Please give information about the exit BEFORE entering a roundabout (eg: take 3rd exit at roundabout). 

Right now, before you enter a roundabout, it says “enter roundabout” which is very useless, and by the time the exit info is given it is too late and I’m totally confused by the time I’m in the roundabout

### 1/5 — なくてもいい

*2026-07-26*

この機能なら別になくてもいいと思った。
音楽の音量はインカムでできるし、ナビは使い勝手悪い、Googleマップとかと連動できたならいいがそういうわけでもない、エンジン切ると毎回ナビ設定し直さないといけないし無駄。特にナビ機能に期待していただけに、すごく残念。
今まで通りスマホでナビを出します。
