Any help? ### 2/5 — Can’t try anything *2020-01-14, version 2.0.3* Everything in the app costs money to enable, but there’s no explanation of what exactly you’re buying. I wanted to see if I could unlock the car with my Apple Watch. I’m not sure if I can or can’t, because I wasn’t going to buy random features in the app to find out. I’d much rather just pay for the app up front... if that was the case I’d have tried some things and left a decent review. ### 1/5 — Just get Remote S instead *2017-08-13, version 2.0.3* It doesn't have as much functions as Remote S does like Summon and Homelink buttons. ### 1/5 — $22 to make it work as he promises *2017-07-10, version 2.0.3* All you get is information unless you pay about $22 to open the app up and do all the features that he promises in the description. You can get that with the other app for $9.99. And so I shall. Clever money making scheme, though. Almost as good as the guy that charges monthly for the same thing that the $9.99 one does right off the bat. ### 1/5 — Paid the $6.99 and didn't upgrade, requesting full refund. *2017-01-04, version 2.0.3* Please refund full amount. Thanks ### 2/5 — Expensive *2016-10-16, version 2.0.3* Layout no better than the other apps. You jave to pay extra for each service. Unlock the car - extra. Turn on the air conditioner - extra. ### 2/5 — Price *2016-09-14, version 2.0.3* App looks pretty cool but I don't like that it has in purchases for things like accessing the A/C. There shouldn't be in app purchases for basic functions. ### 1/5 — Vehicle information not accurate *2016-06-12, version 1.2.0* Shows fewer miles in range then what the vehicle actually indicates. App states that it's also for the model X but vehicle shown in app is model s. Charging time is different in the app then what is shown in the tesla app. ### 5/5 — Great Value! *2016-06-08, version 1.2.0* This is one fantastic app! It's easy to use and provides a clean, responsive interface. Faster than Tesla app and i really like this design ### 3/5 — Best Out There (Need to fix Apple Watch) *2016-04-25, version 1.2.0* I have to admit I use the app all the time but I'm lowering my review to three stars until they fix the Apple Watch issue. The watch basically requires that the app be open on the phone to use which is pointless. I just want to tap on my watch and use the app with my phone in my pocket. This isn't a huge issue but if it worked flawlessly like the phone app does then this would be very nice. So the Tesla app has two big drawbacks. There is no option to use your fingerprint. The other is that the app takes too long to log into the car before you can actually use it. I tried the Model S app and it worked for a while but of late it just flat out stopped working. The other negative of this app is that it really tries to do and show too much on on one screen. This app does exactly what I need. It opens and locks the doors and it starts the car with my fingerprint. It also shows and does more (sunroof, set environment controls, opens the charge port, shows the car in a map, etc) but the things u really need are right there in an uncluttered view and the display is user modifiable. So, if the three apps I've tried, this one is head and shoulders above the others. For a suggestion of improvement, the designers should consider showing a percentage open on the sunroof tool. As it is right now, you really can't tell if the sunroof is open by looking at the depiction. Great app. ## Frequently asked questions about KeyMote ### Does KeyMote have ads?
