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. ### 3/5 — Could use some changes ok for now *2020-12-05* Cant use navibridge while being a passenger. it often lags to connect to car but overall its useful ### 1/5 — Not working *2020-09-22* After this latest updated it does not connect anymore. ### 1/5 — Need to improve or be removed. *2019-02-16, version 5.92* Poorly designed app and interface with car. As others have stated, it takes several steps to even connect with the car, and even that barely happens half of the times. Having a passenger input data for the driver is not possible; does not the legal mumbo-jumbo release the app designer and the vehicle company from any distraction “caused by using the app?” Please look at other car companies apps and the way they interface with the vehicle in terms of ease of use and convenience. ### 1/5 — Needs instructions in English *2018-10-06* All the help is in Japanese. No English instructions. Don’t waste your time with this app. It might work, but without instructions in English, I will never know. ### 1/5 — Useless *2018-08-04* App doesn’t work while GPS thinks car is in motion. I’m the passenger and I can’t use it. ### 1/5 — Really? *2018-03-30* The app works well, when I punch in an address into my iPhone and the navigation unit in my new car works well, when I input an address. Regretfully, the two units do not talk to one another. The app reads that it’s connected and the info sent over but no way! Then, I go over to the recommended site to troubleshoot what’s wrong and it’s all in Japanese! Hilarious! ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2017-11-26, version 5.81* Great concept but doesn’t work, App downloaded automatically when I connected to my new Mazda, it is connected via Bluetooth but doesn’t send anything across, app says sent but nothing happens on car sat nav at all... shame as would be useful... ### 1/5 — Terrible *2017-03-19* Not able to connect! Garbage ### 1/5 — Won't connect *2016-12-23* Tried this on Lexus RX 350 2010 using iPhone 6 iOS 10.1.1. Spent a lot of time trying and reading Lexus forums. Couldn't get app to go online in bottom right corner. Phone connects app won't. I shouldn't have to work so hard to make it work. Tried new version 5.70. Still the same. As they say in Japan "no worky". Won't connect on USB or BT. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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 ### 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. ### 1/5 — Kills iTunes *2024-01-19, version 6.60* If you install this app , you will no longer be able to sync your iPhone to iTunes ### 1/5 — Terrible *2023-04-14, version 6.50* I’m in the middle of the countryside with an offline google map and a super weak internet connection. I open this up and it REFUSES to allow me to use it until I update to version 6.5. I therefore can’t send the location I want to the Navi. It worked earlier this week without issue. There is no NEED for me to update to keep using. Honda / Denso - can’t you realise that people might be using this app when outside and forcing them to update is unnecessary and arrogant. You are assuming that we have a strong data connection and want to waste our data updating your app with an unnecessary update. ### 1/5 — Lexus *2020-12-21* Need updates on No Entry points ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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. ### 5/5 — Love it! *2022-04-20* Works great on my Lexus RX 350. Love that they’ve added passenger mode. ### 5/5 — Update in street *2021-11-10* This app needs to be updated, with more alerts, upgrade the map, ect… ### 5/5 — My smart phone (iPhone 12 ProMax) *2021-05-29* I have no problem connecting to my head unit using map codes, and also connecting with HDMI and Bluetooth, but for a navigation, it won’t send over my map clots to the head unit for some odd reason. My NSZT-Y68T does not have a microphone connected and I feel that may be the case. Something needs to be done through the software and connecting via the lightning cable for direct transfers to my head unit. My head unit by the way is a Toyota Mark X Zio Besides and otherwise, this app is great and very accurate. ### 5/5 — 완전 편해요 *2020-01-22* 넘 편해요 ### 5/5 — 완전 편함 ㅋㅋ *2018-12-14* ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ ### 5/5 — It's perfect. *2017-06-01* 1. Enter destination on the map in this app. 2. Reserve the destination or select 'send to NAV.' 3. When connected to the car Bluetooth the NAV receives the location as a POI; select mark to save to your car address book. Done!! Could t be simpler! ### 5/5 — Works great! *2017-03-14* Just tried this on my 2017 Lexus RX350 and it worked just as expected. Looked up address in the the app and saved it, and then when I got in the car with Bluetooth on, as soon as Bluetooth connected I was able to sync a saved destination to the car's navigation. The navigation display says it received POI information, do I want to accept? Yes! Also, you can tell NaviBridge to sync an address "once connected" and it will automatically do it when Bluetooth connects. Fantastic! ### 5/5 — Its a life saver for and JVC head unit *2015-11-12* Just add the AroundMe app and you can search add and save places and even movie theater info and times. You gotta get them both. Sends info straight to the deck bringing new and updated directions to even older out dated maps and head units. Its like adding coordinates when the system cannot find the street, so you still get exactly where you need to go🙂 ### 5/5 — Works perfectly *2012-10-15* Works exactly as expected with my JVC KW-NT800HDT. Plug my iPhone in, fire up an app that supports NaviBridge, and it imports the data straight into my nav unit.
