### 3/5 — Apple Watch

*2025-02-10, version 4.4.13*

This app used to work on my Apple watch but now when I try to use my watch it says “Please login using the MyStart Plus app on your iPhone or iPad device”. I am already logged in. I tried contacting them but it’s been over 3 weeks and no one has gotten back to me. Very disappointed.

### 1/5 — Vraiment pas fiable

*2024-12-13, version 4.4.13*

Pire application au monde

### 2/5 — Close All Your Apps if Your Car Won’t Start

*2024-09-13, version 4.4.13*

Close all your opened apps prior to opening MyStart Plus and starting your car. When your phone’s memory (RAM) is full the app won’t start your car properly. Close and reopen the app when it’s not responding

### 2/5 — Pas fiable

*2024-05-06, version 4.4.13*

Avoid buying this system. It bugs a lot ..

### 1/5 — No good

*2024-03-21, version 4.4.13*

This is the worst app for a car starter ever. Don’t bother to buy it. It crashes all the time can’t even log in.

### 1/5 — Unreliable

*2024-03-21, version 4.4.13*

Connectivity issues ALL THE TIME!!!! Says all systems are go, but I tried to start my car twice and it doesn’t work. This happens ALL the time. Im sitting in the car now at -10 with my infant, waiting for the car to warm up. This app is terrible.

### 2/5 — Worked well for a year

*2024-03-21, version 4.4.13*

This app needs a serious update, I have 750$ of hardware in my truck that’s basically useless with this app! 9/10 times I can’t start my truck and have to go grab my keys. My start plus has clearly had problems for years and it seems they have no idea how to fix it.

### 1/5 — App works half the time

*2024-03-21, version 4.4.13*

When it works it’s great! But when it doesn’t…. It’s frustrating. There has not been an update of the app for a very long time and maybe this causes the app not to work. The starter with my keys works great, but the app should help start the car from a distance - which it does not always work. Frustrating having spent all the money on a starter that works half the time 😢

### 2/5 — Not great

*2023-09-13, version 4.4.13*

Cool be awesome but half the time it’s frozen or doesn’t work. Had to reset my Apple Watch and since then can’t reinstall the app on it !

### 1/5 — Mauvais produit

*2023-02-28, version 4.4.13*

Déjà au début de l’installation venant avec l’achat du véhicule l’app fonctionnait une fois sur 3-4…. Je suis aller chez le concessionnaire, même le technicien semblait découragé sans trop se mouiller..depuis un an que le fonctionnement est on and off! Heureusement ça venait avec l’ensemble du véhicule ..et la garantie couvre le problème. Je vais faire désinstaller et me faire rembourser…c’est de la vraie mer….

### 3/5 — Where is Siri?

*2023-02-10, version 4.4.13*

Worked ok for the past 6 years. Sometimes didn’t in the 3-4 first years. Now it’s on the watch for long but but nothing about Siri. I think it’s about adding an API. I don’t see why it’s not yet there.

### 2/5 — Update

*2023-02-01, version 4.4.13*

Fonctionne 1 fois sur 3

### 1/5 — Unstable product

*2022-12-27, version 4.4.13*

The starter starts the car only half the time. Many many technical issues. I seriously regret installing “My Start” on my car.

### 2/5 — Not working very well even close to the car

*2022-12-24, version 4.4.13*

Apps crashes and closes, need to push 4 times the button before the car actually starts!

### 1/5 — Update

*2022-12-22, version 4.4.13*

Il faut vraiment faire un update. On ne voit pas toujours la batterie allumer et il est difficile de savoir si l’auto est allumer ou pas

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2022-12-13, version 4.4.13*

I would give zero stars if I could. I was told this app would work with my idatastart remote system but it won’t even let me add my car. Says Error in valid entry every time. I tried to email support through the app and I get another error message when I try to send it. Disgusted with this app currently.

### 1/5 — MyStart Plus

*2022-12-01, version 4.4.13*

Not working most of the time. This app really needs an update

### 1/5 — Replacement Program?

*2025-12-13, version 4.4.16*

What’s this replacement program pop up?  Very limited info can be found and don’t want to do this without facts etc.

### 1/5 — Reoccurring fees

*2025-11-28, version 4.4.16*

Lack of transparency in their product since they do not tell you that the cell system linked to this product expires and or is not supported by the company for more than a couple of years. A little more than 3 year of usage and now told that they will stop supporting my model in a near future. The option it to buy their newer model at 50% off and pay to have it installed.

### 1/5 — Aucun support

*2025-11-10, version 4.4.15*

Plusieurs appels et messages sans aucun retour

### 1/5 — Scam!!!  Warning!!!

*2025-11-04, version 4.4.15*

Had a remote start installed and thought the one time price was good for the life of the vehicle.  Now we received notice that the app is no longer supported and we must purchase the new one at $150.  This was not explained up front.  Now we are worried that we pay and they do this again in a couple of years.

### 1/5 — Bug et maintenant nous demande de payer un supplément

*2025-04-20, version 4.4.14*

Je n’ai jamais choisi cette application merdique, elle venait avec la voiture et bug constamment! Et maintenant je reçois un avis datant de décembre 2024 (nous sommes en avril 2025) indiquant que nous devons payer un supplément pour avoir encore accès au serveur car ils n’updateront plus « l’ancienne version » donc je me retrouve pénalisée parce que le concessionnaire avait installé ce programme, refuse de payer cette augmentation comme la voiture a été achetée il y a 2 ans, c’est vraiment frauduleux et une façon terrible de traiter ses clients! Bref, si vous n’êtes pas obligé, choisissez un autre service!

### 1/5 — Service unavailable

*2025-04-13, version 4.4.14*

The app keeps showing that the service is unavailable. Can’t access my discount offer for the new system as the service of the old one is set to be discontinued

### 1/5 — Works When It Wants

*2025-03-09, version 4.4.13*

App and receiver work when they want. Massive upgrade needs to happen for functionality. I’ve tried starting my car standing in front of it and receiver won’t record the signal sometimes

### 1/5 — Ne fonctionne pas

*2025-02-27, version 4.4.13*

Le système est pourie cette année! Autant que lapp me dit que mon demarage est manquer mais lauto est bien parti! Ou sa me dit problème de serveur et sa ne part pas du tout! 😫jaimerais bien que vous arrengier ce bugg ! Merci

### 1/5 — Cochonerie

*2025-02-14, version 4.4.13*

L’application ne montre pas a 90% du temps que la voiture est partie , le service a la clientèle un gros 0 … il ne veulent pas t’aider… de plus celui qui la installé bien je peux conduire ma voiture sans clef ! Je vais acheté un autre Toyota bientôt… je vous jure que cela n’entre plus dans ma voiture!

### 1/5 — Worse purchase ever

*2024-12-14, version 4.4.13*

Please don’t buy this bug, it doesn’t work when needed, it doesn’t work when too cold or too hot. Only it works when everything is good , I can say this is scam

### 5/5 — Does what it’s supposed to do

*2026-02-07, version 4.4.16*

Good app haven’t had any trouble with it. I’ve had it for 6 years the only thing is it doesn’t show is my car Qashqai 2023 can you please add this to the car list? Or maybe update the list of cars. Thank you

### 5/5 — Gets the job done

*2023-05-24, version 4.4.13*

Had a module installed into my Lexus. Works about 9/10 times unless the weather is really bad and even then it is rare.

I did try out EVO Start which works too, but I prefer something simple like this app.

### 5/5 — Setup serial number?

*2022-12-17, version 4.4.13*

I’m not sure where I would find the serial number for the MyStart.

### 5/5 — Very good software

*2022-07-01, version 4.4.9*

With me after reviewing other reviews , im so happy with the device and the software, all works good in my car. But 😅, Navigation icon doesn’t work. But everything else works very good

### 5/5 — Great app, but integrate siri

*2021-03-23, version 4.3.1*

The app is great and it works pretty well. Sometimes it likes lags, but it’s understandable. One thing that I would suggest for any future updates is to integrate siri as it would be a seamless and super easy way of starting your car without having to open your phone/apple watch!!

### 5/5 — Réagissant instantané

*2021-03-11, version 4.3.1*

Je clique 2 seconce max l'action est faite merci !!!

### 5/5 — Fonctionne très bien avec Apple Watch

*2020-12-27, version 4.2.4*

Avec le mise à jour ils ont activé le démarrage sur l’Apple Watch et fonctionne mieux que sur l’application. C’est génial !!!

### 4/5 — Bien…

*2022-02-05, version 4.3.1*

L’app n’indique plus si les portes sont verrouillées ou non... SVP réglez le problème et ramenez cette mention. Merci!

### 4/5 — Please add Siri shortcut ability!

*2021-03-31, version 4.3.1*

Would give 5 stars if it had this.  Should be easy to add this functionality.  Thanks

### 4/5 — AppleWatch

*2020-12-14, version 4.2.4*

Merci pour l’ajout de l’application dans AppleWatch. Ça marche formidablement. Mais la mise à jour de la température et de niveau de charge de la batterie n’apparaît toujours pas, alors que ça fonctionne dans Evo Start 2.

Je ne trouve aucun moyen de revenir au skin par défaut et ne plus voir celui de mon installateur. Aucune instruction n’est disponible pour retourner en arrière.
