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.
No you do not need this to play music
People saying you need this to play music and make calls are clearly not familiar with technology in any way. This adds additional apps to your car. All that stuff is available simply through USB connection. Don’t listen to the 1 star reviews.
Definitely Nothing like Apple carPlay
I went from a Cadillac to a BMW to a 2019 Discovery. I contemplated between this discovery and a Cadillac XT5. Now that I’ve bought the discovery I can honestly say, I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED!!! What a complete disappointment! The APPs LR has allotted for car play are about 7-10 years outdated. SO WISH I would of gone with Cadillac. Comfort in a vehicle is huge...MUSIC is one of those comforts! Just not happening in this vehicle. I will not be recommending a LR to future people (and believe me, the connections are endless) until something like Apple CarPlay is available for LR.

Terrible App for my wonderful Car
I recently purchased a pre-owned $40K Range Rover Evoque and guess what, this is the only app I can use with the OEM radio and navigation system fitted on this vehicle.
I moved from having a car with Apple CarPlay which most cars have now, even cheaper cars, to a very outdated entertainment system with extremely limited and basic Apps to use. Also, this App has to remain open and running while connected so basically, you can’t touch your iPhone while using this App. You can’t text, use basic stuff these days such as Waze, WhatsApp, text messages, Zoom, emails, nothing! This app is totally worthless. The only associated app I saw that I liked required a $100 download and a monthly subscription and I wasn’t even sure if it works.
Very limited App to the current day technology. I think LR is very behind in this matter. I know I don’t have a $100K car but still, I decided to move to a Range Rover because of the always high end features and this was a HUGE disappointment.

I Don’t Get It?!
I don’t get it? Am I missing something? This is compatible with the least used apps on the planet. Why no iTunes? No Pandora! My 2002 Onkyo Receiver has Pandora. Why no Alexa integration? If you search for vehicles compatible with Alexa, Land Rover is the only high-end model not listed. Kia has Alexa integration... Kia! I don’t know what you spent on development for this app, but it was a total waste of time, resources and funds.

Seriously???
What a P.OS! I paid 145k for a LWB fully loaded RR and this is the kind of technology we get. How hard is it to develop an app that wirelessly connects and utilize useful apps! My f-$&ing 8 year old daughter can build an app better than this. Waste if time and space and obviously you don’t care because after reading all these other reviews dating back 2 years nothing has been done. Build a beautiful car and have sh&tty technology doesn’t cut it.

IOS 13.1 Update
When will be the update for IOS 13.1 be release? InComtrol Apps does not run after I upgraded to IOS 13.1 last week.
This app is TERRIBLE
It’s 2019 and I have to download an application to sync my phone with my $90G car?! This is worsened by the fact that it rarely if ever syncs within a timely fashion. I have to plug and unplug my phone multiple times with the hopes that it will sync. It’s cumbersome, unreliable, and extremely disappointing.

Land Rover InControl Apps
Land Rover InControl Apps is a waste of time and energy.
Sad paying that much for a car and I can use a decent GUI for navigation, music or calls/messages. The basics what I am asking for... why not provide customers who pays $xxx simple Apple CarPlay connectivity which is proven, tested and easy to use. UAE Land Rover need to stop selling cars with nice large screens with no feature that we can use. Shame!

Terrible system in my beautiful car
I love love love the drive of my RR Sport, but I absolutely loathe the entertainment system!!! All I really want is Apple Car Play to work. Please just out source your entertainment system and stick to what you do best. Or at least add Apple/Samsung/Android Plug in’s so your drivers can bypass the crappy system.

Disappointing app support and variety
This app was a good idea. The effort to give some utility and functionality to the infotainment center falls short. The app has potential, but the list of participating app vendors is very short and the functionality is pitiful. I use this app plenty but mainly for the Accuweather and the Audials apps. The other apps are so poor or redundant it makes this application almost useless. If participants made some strong apps for this (weather radar, inclinometer, odb2 car interface) it would make it appealing. But as it is, you have to go out of your way to use this app, and stretch even farther to enjoy it. Poor delivery and app recruiting, Land Rover.

Lame / worthless
Echoing the sentiments of others here, I love my RR, but the infotainment center is weak. The only thing weaker, is the app. Pretty much worthless and I never use it. I rent Ford, Honda, Toyota, and Kia’s while traveling for business monthly that blow the doors off of Land Rover’s app and system. Not even worth the time to download. Wasn’t even really worth my time to write this review.

Trash this system. Bring Apple Play / Google Systems, or we’ll move to BMW/Mercedes/Volvo
Similar problems to 99.9% of people here. Instead of doing what most car brands are doing - going with the two standards of companies that know how to develop software, LR has the brilliant idea of developing their own system. It’s functionality is light years behind Apple and Google, whenever it works. But it never works! It plays for 5-20 seconds until it is disconnected. I took my car twice to the dealer, but the answer was that the system doesn’t work with IPhone X, 18 months after the X was launched!
So basically there is no way to charge your phone with the car’s USB because it will disconnect the music every few seconds.
I had to buy a power pack to charge my IPhone! So I can listen to plain radio.
All this in 2019!
The other day I rode on a friend’s $20k volkswagen and his infotainment system was FAR superior than my $67k Discovery.
Planning to change my car next year. I am dreaming with a Range Rover full version, but if LT has not come out finally with Apple Play; I’ll go for a BMW, Mercedes or Volvo.
Bye bye Land Rover, after being a loyal customer since 2008 LR2 : (

Stopped working 2 days ago
While never quick, the app did work with our 2018 Range Rover Sport. Hasn’t worked since Monday. Shows climate running and in the wrong location. Gives me either a Network Error or just times out. (It is not a network issue with WiFi or cell networks for either the iPhone or Range Rover.)
The Route Planner apps stills works, though.

I’m over it...
I’ve had my velar since September and it has spent more time at the service department that my prior three cars combined. Each time I bring the cat in I’m told there is an update, they spend a couple of days updating the computer to resolve all these problems and not one thing has changed. I travel for work and interestingly I’m able to get into rental cars and plug my phone in with no issues at all. If you are interested in a LR and you enjoy technology, don’t do it! I have thirty-two months left and am counting down.

Why can’t you do anything right
Every app offered by Range Rover is clunky at best and hard to manage. They are not intuitive or friendly to use at all nor are very helpful. Even my console in the dashboard is laggy on a 2018 velar, with many kinks to be worked out. Outsource this to a tech company, cars way below your price range are sweeping the floor with technology integration over you. Your cars are so close to being perfect but this holds back your so called luxury cars.
