## Newest reviews (13 of 115)

### 3/5 — Slow response

*2026-08-25, version 13.5.0*

The app is lagging a lot. It takes time to change to another page.

### 4/5 — Live Battery status needed

*2026-08-19, version 13.5.0*

The status tab shows what the battery had in it when last used or when the charger was turned on. It would be good to check how charging is going live but it still shows what it was when I plugged it in

### 3/5 — T

*2026-08-16, version 13.4.0*

Rear door opening from app. Why does the car shut down when you open the door. Doesn’t make sense

### 3/5 — App

*2026-08-12, version 13.4.0*

The app should remain for free it’s not worth a subscription yearly.

### 4/5 — Feature Request: Air Conditioning Control

*2026-08-08, version 13.4.0*

It would be greatly appreciated if you could add the ability to control the air conditioning through the Toyota app, especially the option to set or turn on the A/C when remotely starting the vehicle.

### 2/5 — Poor Compatibility 2026 RAV4 PHEV

*2026-07-24, version 13.4.0*

I recently purchased a 2026 RAV4 PHEV which has a new software interface and feature features. The app clearly has problems in syncing with the car. In particular the remote scheduling for charging doesn’t work and the mapping trips feature is very poor. However, all the on board software works as advertised so I suspect most of the problem is in the local development of the app and the interfacing to the new vehicle.

### 4/5 — Find car

*2026-07-23, version 13.4.0*

Slow to find

### 1/5 — New Interface

*2026-07-15, version 13.4.0*

I hate this new user interface. It is completely useless.

### 4/5 — Slow UI and poor EV integration

*2026-07-06, version 13.4.0*

The app is slow to update and frequently gets stuck loading. Worst of all for the bZ4X, there is no remote start/stop charging option. Every single time I need to stop a charge early, I have to go down to the garage to physically unlock the vehicle and yank the cord out. Please add basic remote charging controls and fix the lag!

### 4/5 — Helpful App

*2026-07-06, version 13.4.0*

Much better than the old version. Great that I can lock/ unlock start my car remotely except it has a monthly cost. Also using the maps built into the car costs extra. Disappointed when it’s all part of the sales pitch. 
Using Apple play gets past that one. Overall I can keep track of my cars servicing etc and different car alerts. I gave it a 4 star rating coz I’m constantly having to log back in.

### 1/5 — Atrocious App

*2026-07-02, version 13.4.0*

I have not been able to do anything through this App for about 4 months ( only bought the car 6 months ago ! ) Can’t login anymore - screen just spins and then times out. So disappointing that I can’t use the functions I was so excited about with this vehicle. Very disappointing Toyota !

### 1/5 — Regarding the Vehicle Status

*2026-07-01, version 13.4.0*

This is one the useless, service from the Toyota. I have connected my vehicle in the app and there is no status about fuel, km and Gps there. Called Toyota connect more 15 times and email also 10 times. Still there is no reply from technical team about problems. Keep telling the same story again, we are looking into it from last 4 weeks. That's totally unacceptable, we are in a small business and need proper working app. Useless service,Thanks

### 1/5 — WHAT A TERRIBLE UPDATE AND APP

*2026-06-29, version 13.4.0*

It’s so useless and it’s bad.

Use to be able to see recent car location, trip an and trip b status etc.  Now it’s as useless as a chocolate tea pot. 

Unbelievable how it has 7k 5 star reviews…something ain’t right.  

I can read some negative reviews but shows 5 stars. I reckon the developers change the ratings.

### 1/5 — Unable to login

*2026-08-21, version 13.5.0*

Tried resetting password and registration, but still unable to login. Even raised this on the support forum and yet to hear back!

### 1/5 — Constant disappointment!

*2026-08-20, version 13.5.0*

So unhappy with this app and Toyota… It’s disgraceful that you spend $100k+ on a car, pay a monthly subscription to access the most basic features, then every time you open the app to lock/unlock/start the car they have pop-up ads that you have to swipe away first! Give it a rest Toyota! Also it seems every 2-3 times I use the app I am forced to update it first before being able to access the app.

### 1/5 — WORLDS WORST APP

*2026-08-18, version 13.5.0*

HOW CAN A BILLION DOLLAR COMPANY SCREW UP SOMETHING SO BAD..!!

EASY..!!

ITS TOYOTA. 

GREAT CARS 
LOUSY AFTER SALES SERVICE RUN BY HIGHSCHOOL DROPOUTS..

AND THEY DO NOTHING.!!

### 1/5 — ????

*2026-08-12, version 13.4.0*

I have downloaded and set up the app as required unfortunately as it was with my last Toyota the app is pretty much useless for a company that make great cars they can’t get this right it’s as if it’s just a thing on the side, the parts that do seem to work are the things that tell me I need to get the car serviced which obviously is a cost to myself and money for them which seems a bit of a coincidence, very frustrating ☹️

### 1/5 — Can’t register?

*2026-08-10, version 13.4.0*

Sends me the code to NZ mobile fine but when entering (on first and every subsequent attempt) says “maximum number of code requests reached “ no other way to clear or register…

### 1/5 — Expensive

*2026-08-06, version 13.4.0*

Bought 97k Aud car and still have to pay monthly subscriptions separately for the multimedia and connect +. Additionally, they removed the AC option for 2024 kluger. The costumer representative told me that my car doesn’t have that option. Whilst during my trial period, I was happy setting my AC remotely.

### 1/5 — Too slow

*2026-07-24, version 13.4.0*

Too slow

### 1/5 — Can’t even reset my password

*2026-07-21, version 13.4.0*

Even there’s an option, but can’t get password reset

### 1/5 — Everyday features locked behind a paywall

*2026-07-20, version 13.4.0*

For the first 12 months of my new car I had 12 complementary Toyota connect, I thought nothing of it and used the car like any other car I have owned. 12 months later and the complementary subscription ends, I figure I don’t need remote unlock or remote start so why bother paying for a feature I don’t use?

Turns out that’s not the case. My entire profile has been wiped from the car. The ability to create a local profile, non-existent.

Seat memory, gone.
Instrument cluster settings, gone.
All the annoying beeps I switched off, back.
Remembering what phone belongs to what driver, gone.
The equaliser for the stereo, gone. Not gone as in reset, gone as in I no longer have the privilege of changing the bass or treble on my stereo.

Why on earth Toyota thinks it’s acceptable to lock features from the early 2000’s behind a $10/month paywall is astounding and a needless money grab.

Don’t waste your time with this app and if you haven’t already paid for the Toyota you’re looking at buying, look elsewhere. I certainly won’t be buying a Toyota for my next vehicle.

### 1/5 — impossible to log back

*2026-07-15, version 13.4.0*

Terrible user experience, logs  me out and can't log in with the password stored in my apple keystore. Even  trying to change the password is a chore. does not accept a perfectly compliant password generated by apple keystore where the password contains all the required character types. Amature hour ai developed slop, removing it now.
