App crashed before I could even use

Tried to download this app, but genuinely I couldn’t even open it. Every time I tried the app would crash. I tried resetting my phone, tried deleting other apps, tried uninstalling and reinstalling, nothing worked.

Trash

I inherited this radio when buying my car. I’ve spent years to finally get it connect and now it only pops up and plays some random play list I have no clue how it got. I can’t delete it can’t find info on how to change it. I have to wait for it to load that list before I can go turn on Apple Music and choose the music I really want. It’s frustrating I’m not an idiot but I also don’t waste a ton of time on this issue as well it’s not ultimately important. Just irritating.

Remote app

Let me start off by saying this app is pure garbage and does nothing that it says it does! Had to reset all my settings on my iPhone just to be able to download it and that should have been a dead giveaway that it was junk and a total waste of phone storage. My advice is don’t waste your time downloading it!

Works for what I need

Little glitchy but works, make sure u set your head unit to iOS mode or it won’t work

App is garbage

App closes as soon as you open it, don’t buy a JVC radio if you plan on controlling it with the app.

Faulty app

The app doesn’t open

Trash

App is very outdated and can’t even navigate through usb files and connectivity on it is terrible

Nonfunctional

A completely non functional app

Failure

This app is wonky AH! Takes an hour to figure out how to get the app to connect to your stereo. Then once it does it constantly disconnects whenever you do anything else on your phone. App will only play music from your phone via BT so connecting via USB is non existent of which USB is the better quality. Why can’t the Bluetooth just be used for controls. I don’t need a media player within the jvc app. When my phone does it the best. Obviously JVC gave up on this 2 years ago cause that was the last update they put out for this app.
