Seems to be a huge bug in China to use. How can I get the money back. **Developer response:** Hi, did you choose china region? ### 1/5 — No lockscreen widgets *2023-08-05* The photo shows lockscreen lock and unlock widgets but i cannt find them **Developer response:** Hi! Those are today widgets and not the new lockscreen widgets. They are only available for older ios versions. I will update them for ios 17 eventually ### 1/5 — Doesn‘t work at all *2023-05-11* Keep getting „a random error occurred „ when trying to log into account as first step **Developer response:** Hi, sorry about this. Update sent to the store with a fix. Should be out in a few days ### 1/5 — Useless. *2021-06-28* Doesn’t work, at all. Period. **Developer response:** Hi, Can you restart your watch and iphone? If this does not work can you contact me via email or messenger? ### 1/5 — Never worked *2019-10-03* It didn't work even once in my iPhone. In the apple watch is crashing every single time. **Developer response:** A fix is coming soon. Sorry for the trouble. ### 1/5 — Unreliable!! *2019-07-04* Don’t waist time and energy most of the time It doesn’t work. ### 1/5 — Back to being junk *2018-12-02* Initially all I got was “Failed” / but after logging out and back in, it has worked well since. Now again it gets nothing but fail. From my watch and from my iphone. Basically useless. Refund? **Developer response:** Hi, have you checked the latest version? Supports model 3 and has a few improvements ### 1/5 — did not work! *2018-08-20* just bought and first attempt produced an error message! all subsequent attempts failed as well. please advise! **Developer response:** Hi, what is the error message? You can contact me via email: joao3001@hotmail.com ### 4/5 — Not bad *2023-11-02* The app yields errors occasionally when attempting to connect with vehicle, but most of the time it’s fine. Would it be possible to add Bluetooth connectivity for lock-unlock-start? Such would be next level. **Developer response:** Bluetooth would be hard as i have no way to test it. However if someone adds the code to the tesla swift library i would be able to do it ### 4/5 — Apple Watch/Xs Max *2018-09-25* I bought the app, hoping to use my Apple Watch to unlock my Model S. The app installed on the watch, but I am still waiting at the watch is still “Getting App data...”. It has bee more than 10 minutes and the watch app still has not completed getting app data. I have the Series 3 watch (Version 4.3.2 (15U70)), XS Max iPhone (Version 12). Update: Developer contacted me, I rebooted my watch, and the app works as advertised! Thanks. ## Most praised reviews (9 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Version 2.0 *2023-11-08* I have really liked this app, for what it is supposed to provide, however this update does not list the vehicles associated with the Tesla account upon logging in, it does show the page that used to show associated vehicles. Please send your email address, as I cannot access it within the app or anywhere online. **Developer response:** Use: joao3001 hotmail.com It is also under contact support in the appstore ### 5/5 — Version 2.0 *2023-11-04* I have really liked this app, for what it is supposed to provide, however this update does not list vehicles associated with the Tesla account upon logging in. **Developer response:** Hi, can you send me an email so i can check your case? ### 5/5 — Recommande *2023-03-07* Superbe petite application à pas très chère. Marche bien et dépanne pour un accès rapide à l ouverture et fermeture des portes 😊 ### 5/5 — Works *2021-09-10* Latest version works like a charm. Perfect for when I need to unlock my car and don’t have my phone in my pocket ### 5/5 — Function suggestion *2021-03-24, version 1.13.1* Can you add the function “open frunk without confirmation and with iPhone locked “ and “open trunk without confirmation and with iPhone locked”? Thanks for your creativity ### 5/5 — Cannot log in with my Tesla Account *2021-02-07, version 1.13.0* Please contact me, I cannot log in with my Tesla Account Update: I can now, the apps is fantastic! I update my review to 5-Star Thou, one question, can I use it with my GSM Iwatch alone (without my iPhone) ### 5/5 — New update completely broke the app *2020-12-09* Do not update to the new update that came out on 11/7/20 Can’t see Siri Shortcuts any longer in dark mode and the ability to add a shortcut to start car is now gone. Update 12/8/20. Developer said will fix so I’m adjusting rating back to 5 stars for now. **Developer response:** Sorry about that, i will fix dark mode and start car shortcut on the next version. ### 5/5 — Works great! *2020-11-30* Sometimes buggy but overall really like the app. Thanks!! ### 5/5 — Developer listens to feedback! *2019-04-01* I had downloaded this app, but was unable to use it cause I have the Apple Watch series 0. Wrote the developer an email and a couple of weeks later the app now supports the original Apple Watch.
