User reviews

Awful app

It continually says I need to verify my email and phone. But it doesn’t send any codes to my email. Yes, I have checked my junk folder. The app is useless. I agree with others that this app should not be a paid app to use all of the limited features. It’s ridiculous on so many levels.

Maintenance

This app sucks, if you leave your keys trusting the app it’s gonna work and open the car, that’s not gonna happen, this app really sucks

What is going on

I’m getting ready to ask for a refund what is going on? Please help

More features

Would like to see more features like open trunk and not frunk. Remote lock when walking away with phone. Vent car windows interior temperature etc. Closer to what Tesla has.
Phone key is unreliable when needed.

Best car

My favorite car I’ve ever owned. I’m a senior, and im counting on theirs one to last! It’s a plug-in hybrid, the third one I’ve owned. Deep red. Great sound system. Fantastic gas mileage. Smooth handling and minimal road noise. Only thing it doesn’t have is a front parking assist and camera (but the rear camera is fine). Love it!
