### 4/5 — Any updates?

*2026-06-13, version 2.3*

I would love to see this updated to get it displayed on a CarPlay device screen.  I’d love to see this get some ai integration.  If you guys can move this along to CarPlay integration with KITT style dash graphics and stuff, you’ll rule the world.  As it is, it does feel dated.  I have owned this app for about 6 years I think and never really used it on a phone in the car.  I run CarPlay units in all of my vehicles including motorcycles and this would be an absolute WIN to put KITT, actually on display in cars via CarPlay.  Please. =)

### 3/5 — Bluetooth

*2026-05-26, version 2.3*

This app does not connect to your car. What a downer.

### 1/5 — Terrible - Don’t bother

*2026-05-06, version 2.3*

The app is terrible - doesn’t respond to voice, the speedo doesn’t even work and the instructions are limited to say the least

### 3/5 — Doesn’t work properly.

*2024-07-14, version 2.3*

The soundboard stuff is cool, but the voice recognition doesn’t work.   I’ve reinstalled and it just hangs when detecting background noise.    Even if I get past that, it doesn’t hear me talking to it so never replies.

### 3/5 — Update please

*2024-06-21, version 2.3*

So far it works but you guys need an update

### 4/5 — Ai enhancement?

*2024-03-15, version 2.3*

I have fun with this app but Please find a way to integrate AI into this . So many technological advancements since the development of this app. See it with me you know people want this!

### 1/5 — Errors

*2024-01-25, version 2.3*

When I first got this app it was all okay, but now lately the thing doesn’t react properly with voice commands and the Speedo screen when on its side the Speedo does work at all and won’t tell you your speed no more, I’ve tried everything to get it to go but it just doesn’t do nothing at all

### 1/5 — Does not work

*2023-12-30, version 2.3*

Looks to be an old app as does not work on iPhone 14 Pro Max running 14.2.1. Should be removed from app store

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work at all

*2023-10-30, version 2.3*

I even messaged the dev but they clearly are not interested in making the app work so I want my money back. Gutted

### 1/5 — UPDATE CARPLAY COMPATIBILITY

*2023-09-30, version 2.3*

I purchased this app when it originally was available in the Apple iOS store. We are now in 2023, and there’s no updates in the last 6 years! I love this app! I’m giving a one star rating, hoping that Apple will do this update for full CarPlay compatibility. In that, the app will work in “KITT MODE” and Scanner Mode. I love knight rider!!! Update this app, so it’s CarPlay compatible, whether wirelessly and or USB wired ASAP. We gotta bring the step up to speed! It’s worth every penny!

Hello everyone!
