### 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.

### 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!

### 2/5 — Not working

*2023-09-21, version 2.3*

Not sure if it’s because of iOS 17 or what but kitt doesn’t respond to me. Microphone is on. It’s on auto cruise but nothing. Will try to erase and reinstall

### 4/5 — Great app please update!

*2023-07-23, version 2.3*

I’ve had the app for a long time I think I first installed it on my iPhone 4. Back then it worked flawlessly, and the speedometer worked - now on my iPhone XR. It still runs, which I applaud, however, it would be great if the speedometer worked again. I used to really like to have a digital speedometer at eye level on my phone mount in my vehicle. I was pleased to see “Perifractic” (Christian Simpson), discover it on his retro recipes, YouTube channel for his KITTtesla project. I’m hoping that the increased visibility from those series of videos might influence you to finally update the app so it’s fully compatible with the latest version of iOS. Appreciate the work that you’ve done so far.!!

### 2/5 — Never works

*2023-06-24, version 2.3*

No matter what you say, it doesn't care, then answers by itself

### 3/5 — needs to be updated

*2023-06-20, version 2.3*

hasnt been updated in 5 years, would be great to see this being updated especially with how much technology has advanced recently with AI

### 4/5 — UPDATE CARPLAY COMPATIBILITY

*2023-05-21*

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 10 years! I love this app! 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!

### 2/5 — Knight Rider App

*2023-05-19, version 2.3*

A number of the advertised functions in the app don’t work, the music, the pursuit the voice function, the odometer. Please help.

### 4/5 — Music glitches out when he plays it

*2023-05-05, version 2.3*

It's nice he responds and everything which is pretty cool he's got all the phrases out of the movie to but he needs a fix when he goes to play music he glitches out and doesn't play music please update and fix it

### 2/5 — KITT- The Real One

*2023-02-08, version 2.3*

I LOVE Knight Rider. Always beema Fan and Been Waiting for this App forever. Its Finally Out but it Keeps having issues. First the Speedometer in Which is still malfunctioning and Now when I connect it through Blue Tooth on my car radio it Starts making a phone call.

### 1/5 — Voice doesn’t listen

*2023-01-30, version 2.3*

Such a disappointment.  Voice doesn’t recognise what you are saying when it chooses to hear your voice.  Complete random answer.  Most of the time though it doesn’t hear anything.  All the excitement of this app destroyed by its lack of working.

### 3/5 — It’s working . Not great but at least got it working

*2023-01-30, version 2.3*

When the first screen appears that says to say Hi, if it doesn’t work then click the greyed out “i” bottom right side for how to use instructions

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2023-01-06, version 2.3*

KITT doesn’t recognise my voice. In auto cruise mode.

### 2/5 — KITT the real one

*2022-12-08, version 2.3*

Hey hello well would be nice if it had Bluetooth connection smh iPhone pro max doesn’t have ear phone plugs this is sad

### 4/5 — Kitt

*2022-09-22, version 2.3*

Maybe I need a newer phone to make it work better, great when it works,(although still figuring it out use the AUTO CRUISE button , took a while to get Kitt to speak ) , thanks for making it

### 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

### 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!

### 1/5 — Hi. Hi. Hi. Hi. Hi. Hi. Hi.

*2023-09-03, version 2.3*

Nothing happens. Lively soundboard but every time I boot this up hoping it’s worked the bugs,
I end up saying “hi” to my phone 23 times in a row to no reply. You think in this world where even my toilet paper is AI, we would have KITT. But no.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2023-05-29, version 2.3*

Doesn’t respond to voice which I thought was the whole point of the app?! Some buttons don’t do anything either. 
Basically feel like I just threw £2.99 away.

### 1/5 — App appears to have been abandoned by developer

*2023-05-12, version 2.3*

No updates since 2017 and most of the things either don’t work properly or don’t work at all such as the Speedo and music player, voice recognition is poor and generally a shoddy product. Could be a good app if it was done properly otherwise don’t waste your time or money

### 1/5 — No KITT!

*2023-02-25, version 2.3*

Paid $4.99 au for this app’ and it won’t even acknowledge the startup “Hi”! Yes i’m Australian, but not be able to recognise the word “Hi” is pathetic.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2023-02-22, version 2.3*

Doesn’t respond to voice commands/inquiries

### 5/5 — K.I.T.T

*2022-11-20, version 2.3*

This is AMAZING, best app ever

### 5/5 — Love the app but having BT issues.

*2022-09-19, version 2.3*

I’m a fan of the app, and I drive a Kitt. I’d love to connect to a. Bluetooth speaker and place that in the Season 2 noise of my car. Any work arounds for this issue? Thanks

### 5/5 — CarPlay please!

*2022-08-23, version 2.3*

An awesome fun app. This would be sooo good on CarPlay!

### 5/5 — Great app hopefully support for iOS 10.3.4 will continue

*2022-08-22, version 2.3*

I just found this app, thanks to YouTube Retro Recipes.  I heard you will be creating an update.  Please continue supporting the older iOS 10.3.4 since I only have the one Apple device and it will be dedicated to only running this app.

### 5/5 — BEWARE: updated to iOS 11 but we are at iOS15

*2022-04-05, version 2.3*

So this app is just a few *ahem* updates behind in iOS….I see in the dev description that they updated to iOS11….and we are now on iOS15.  STILL THE APP IS FUN and for $3 worth the purchase.  Just wish the devs would update to keep all the functionality working again.  :-)

### 5/5 — Use of app

*2022-02-26, version 2.3*

If any of y’all want to know how to activate pursuit mode on KITT just say “play some music” and he may play music that you have downloaded

### 5/5 — Time for an update, Michael

*2022-01-27, version 2.3*

Great app and I was proud to feature it in my recent video about converting a Tesla into KITT.I hope you have enjoyed the recent flurry of downloads. Your friend in retro, Perifractic

### 5/5 — John Simms

*2021-06-16, version 2.3*

Love this app. Have got the scanner light too. It would great you could Bluetooth KITT as well. A definite upgrade worth having.

### 5/5 — メーターが

*2021-04-17*

メーターが動かなくなりました。

### 5/5 — This. Is. Amazing! 😍

*2021-03-10, version 2.3*

Yeah, I know I’m not part of the generation that grew up with the original series that this certain voice of KITT came from. But I have watched a lot of it thanks to my dad. I love this app and wish KITT could be a little more interactive. But I understand that these kind of things take time. So all I have to say is thank you for making this app.
