Apple CarPlay not there
I bought the 2017 Jaguar F-type and after a month of disconnecting the previous owner from the car and adding me AND paying for the infotainment upgrade for CarPlay at a Jaguar dealership I still can’t get the CarPlay to show up and I’m stuck with the Genius navigation from 2017 because it won’t update….really expensive and now frustrating !

How is this app even allowed
The lack of privacy and the permissions required to use this app are frightening. Buying an aftermarket remote starter so I’m not stalked by Jaguar and all their 3rd party affiliates they sell user’s information to
Trust the reviews
I read the reviews before downloading this app and linking it to my Jaguar. However, I thought how bad could it be? TRUST the reviews! Worst interface ever and it really has zero point for existence. This deserves a review of no stars…but Apple requires you pick at least one star.
Use your phone. System is terrible.
Wasted a day upgrading this software a year ago. Jaguar’s answer to CarPlay. Actually it’s NO PLAY. Would give zero stars if I could. Rarely connects. And when it does, useless applications that will kick you off quickly. Sad because the F Type is such a nice car.
Worthless
Truly pointless app. Easier to use the phone thru Bluetooth. The app actually creates new limitations in functionality. If there is justice, developers have lost their jobs.
Horrible
This app is junk. The applications are mostly outdated. The choice is limited. Functionality it operates like a late 1990s computer screen with icons. Come on Jaguar. Such an expensive car with horrible head units and apps.
Waste of Time
The other reviews are right. This is a horrible waste of time. I downloaded it and within 30 minutes deleted it. This offers absolutely nothing. They could do a lot with it but, looks like they hired the wrong people. Don’t waste your time or storage space on your phone. Not worth it.
UPDAE: Still the Most useless app!
4 years of owning this car and ZERO new apps added. Dang car doesn’t even support latest iOS version and calls drop daily, system resets itself and still doesn’t work. Don’t waste your time on a jag.
What a horrible attempt at interfacing mobile phones with the car. One would think that if you were spending the money on a Jag you get a premium mobile phone interface. The selection of apps is poor and nothing being routinely added. The incontrol app requires your phone to be unlocked in order to work posing a problem with new distracted driving laws. Very disappointing since my wife's cheep Ford Focus has more useful features. Don't bother yourself with installing.

Jaguar don’t want your business
Jaguar don’t want you to buy their cars. That’s the only possible explanation for how poorly they are treating owners with this disgraceful piece of non-tech. I’ve used car play. It’s great. Go buy a car that has that system.
Please Update
Jaguar InControl App has so much potential. The Jaguar Remote app was updated and works flawlessly. Please give the same effort into Jaguar InControl to utilize unlimited functionality.
No apps and no support
Jaguar doesn’t support the app any more and the number of useful apps offered is zero.
Even iPhone functionality is poor because it keeps losing connection and needs you to reopen your locked screen while driving - BAD, UNSAFE IDEA!!!

Never get a Jaguar
If they put this little effort or expertise into the app and electronic interface then forget the rest. Honestly, pretty much every other car manufacturer is better in this respect and too many in others to make this a variable brand.
Not working
Wake up button grayed out. I had this turned off but it still went into this mode and know I can’t get the app to work. Keeps telling me it is asleep and will wake up when vehicle started again. Vehicle was started but app still shows dames message
All these other reviews are unfair
So many people on here are complaining about their car’s infotainment system. This is supposed to be reviews of the app, not the car. This app does everything it’s supposed to. It’s extremely useful, as you can see where the car is, honk the horn and flash the lights, see if the windows are closed and much more.

App with iPhone XS Max on ios13 crashes Bluetooth connection
So I had this app installed a couple of weeks before iOS 13 was released . I didn’t think it would be a problem however after upgrading, my jaguar f pace 2018 consistently dropped the Bluetooth connection & the phone would come up as an iPod! I checked apples
Site & found a lot of similar complaints. Some people stating jaguar won’t release a patch to fix for several months. I decided to restore my phone, Deleted this app & upgraded to iOS 13.2.1 & no longer lose connection.
Needless to say I’m NOT installing this app since it’ll lose connection!!!! None of the apps are any good

Don’t waste your time....
Almost a year ago I wrote a review about his app after about 2 weeks of use stating that this app isn’t as bad as all the reviews are making it be. A year later and I can honestly say....everyone was right. The problem with this app extends beyond the app itself. The true issue is the Jaguar ICT system. It is by far the worst infotainment I have ever used in my life! If you’re considering purchasing a Jaguar with the ICT system that does support CarPlay I have 1 word of advice - DON’T!!!! This app in no way, shape or form will provide anything resembling an enjoyable infotainment experience. I love the look and drivability of my Jag but I am literally counting the days until my lease ends. Never again will I skimp on an infotainment system to save a few bucks! And this app only makes the experience worst.

Does not work with iOS 13
I have a 2018 model Jag with ICT (not ICTP), and this does not work with iOS 13. Crashes the second you attempt to open an app. Will try again after getting the October 2019 ICT firmware update and allowing Jag to update the app.
Does not work
This app’s purpose is to connect your mobile device to the car and it does not do what it was designed to do.
Worst app ever
I have tried to use this app for 2 1/2 years. In the beginning it worked well with only a few bugs. But with each iOS update it has never been able to keep current. And for all practical purposes it’s been totally worthless and unusable for the last 14 months. Despite following dealership advice and deleting and reinstalling the app 3 or 4 times. The dealership acknowledges that it’s a software problem that the Jag corporate software vendor has not been able to fix for more than a year. As other reviewers have written, don’t waste your time even downloading the app. It’s useless. And the Hag executive who had the brilliant idea that JLR should create their own interface instead of using apple car play should be fired

Be aware that if your car’s software has not been updated, updating this app may cause your car to display the dreaded “SOS limited functionality” message when plugged
