Remote
App needs more options
Needs a lot of improvement
Not that everything is bad, I do see car information like tire pressure, oil percentage etc in the app.
It good not great
Overall, the Mazda app does a pretty good job. The remote start feature works well, and it's convenient when you want to warm up your car before heading out. The vehicle location feature is also excellent because you always know where your car is, which could be very helpful if it were ever stolen.
The reason I can't give it 5 stars is that it's missing some features that other manufacturers offer, such as remote seat warming and additional remote vehicle controls. Those extra features would make the app much more complete.
Another downside is the subscription cost. My car was leased, so I received the service free for three years. After that period, I'd have to pay a monthly or yearly fee to continue using it. When you're already spending a significant amount of money on a vehicle, it feels like features like remote start should be included at no additional cost.
If your vehicle still comes with the free trial, I would definitely recommend trying it. If you regularly use remote start or like being able to locate your vehicle at any time, it may be worth paying for. Otherwise, the subscription may not be necessary for everyone.
Overall, it's a useful app that works reliably, but the missing features and ongoing subscription cost keep it from earning a full 5-star rating.
