### 1/5 — Buggy, total piece of car-p

*2026-03-27, version 6.80*

Nuff said. Don’t bother. Doesn’t do anything that your native CarPlay maps can’t already do. Waste of an app — and don’t trust them either. What are they doing with my data , eh?

### 1/5 — 공유지점

*2026-01-19*

구글맵과 공유지점이 다른데 어떻게해야 하나요

### 5/5 — Works like a charm

*2025-12-09, version 6.80*

Given the universally harsh criticisms of this APP, I had to give it a try.

My environment was an iPad communicating with a 2025 Toyota Prado.
It worked most of the time except if you don’t enter the state and you may get another country. That’s no biggie because most GPS systems will do that.

It’s too early to tell but I think this one’s a keeper.

### 3/5 — ‘찾을수없습니다’

*2025-09-29*

찾고자하는 위치를 검색하면 찾을수없습니다라는 메시지만 나타납니다..
아이폰에서는 사용힐수없는 건가요?

### 1/5 — Do t Use it they steal your data

*2025-08-29*

They are a waste of time and sell your day at to third parties

### 1/5 — I don’t get it

*2025-06-20, version 6.80*

My Mazda CX-9 told my phone to download this app. I’ve tried playing around with it for 5 minutes- it’s hopeless, I’m typing in street addresses and it has no clue- can’t find the location. User interface is rubbish.

### 1/5 — Poor

*2025-05-04, version 6.80*

Won’t connect, won’t find unit, half of data in another language- deleting

### 1/5 — What does this app do??

*2025-04-03, version 6.80*

I don’t know why I installed it, I tried to open the app, nothing happens. So it’s a useless app if it doesn’t work? Wrote this review before deleting it 👍

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2024-08-15, version 6.70*

If you ever manage to connect the app with your car, which is a miracle, then good luck trying to send the destination from your phone to your car. It just doesn’t work, I don’t know why Mazda would even insist on this app, it’s useless.

### 2/5 — Lame

*2024-05-04*

The interface isn’t intuitive.  Using the app to set a location? Fuggedaboutit. 
No provision for searching for an address. 

Got this app to use with a Japanese import car. Looks like this app doesn’t work if the vehicle does not have your local maps installed.  Was hoping that it would display the information on the phone-but it doesn’t   Deleted from phone.
