Absolutely terrible app that never works

The older version of this app worked well but since they updated the app, none of the remote options work. When the wind chill is -11 degrees out, it would be helpful to have the remote starter. We’re a loyal Range Rover owner but the developers need to spend time updating the app to be on par with their beautiful cars.

WORST APP EVER

This is the absolute worst app ever! It barely works half the time. It says that the car is currently in use when it’s really parked so now the app is unable to turn the car on. This happens 4 times out the week.

DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY ON THE LOUSY APP!

I’m forced to get an automatic starter installed in my Range Rover from. 3rd party company since Landrover cannot get this right!

Not worth it

Most of the apps you could download have stopped supporting or ended this agreements with Land Rovers InControl App. Very disappointing and short sighted by Land Rover that hasn’t offered any alternatives either. I tend to drive my wife’s Honda more now due to lack of features offer by JLR.

Waste of Time

Can’t even register because the website won’t recognize that I clicked on the terms and conditions and privacy statements (both frighteningly voluminous). Wasted time just trying to get it to work.

Great car, dumb app

To be honest, this is by far the dumbest app I’ve ever seen in my life. The concept is behind it isn’t bad, but they executed it very poorly. It doesn’t allow you to add apps to the inControl app, and the few they do provide, is a waste of time. Please please do not waste your time with this app.
