But I cannot do anything with this app now currently it was a selling point for me to be able to hide Pedal Commander and use my phone ### 3/5 — Ideas *2025-11-23* Now I enjoy this, it’s a novel thing, I understand why people don’t like it, but it allows you to control how sensitive your gas peddle is. I like being able to make it harder to floor for when my girl is driving the truck (she’s only ever driven a Honda). But one feature I wish you’d add is the ability to remotely rev the truck via the app, this would be so useful when trying to jumpstart another car by yourself. Get in, turn the key, and rev your truck on the other side from your phone! Or even just to be cool at a meet or something, or to try out a new muffler from the back! So many uses for a remote rev feature. ### 4/5 — Pretty great. *2025-11-09, version 3.3.10* App and device work as advertised. Note to developers: CarPlay integration would make sense for this app. ### 3/5 — Ipad Compatiability *2025-05-28, version 3.3.6* With my iPad i can connect via bluetooth. after that I have no control of any kind. I am not having any issues with my iPhone. ### 2/5 — Device is great; app is just OK *2025-05-24* Bluetooth is not really necessary except for calibration and people that decide to use the anti theft features. The calibration screens are confusing because the instructions say to push a button to record the value but the UI doesn't update until the next screen. Calibration also takes one immediate value instead of the best sampling of N readings over a short period of time. To be honest, I think in the entire time I've had my PC, the app has only been useful for setup and just checking settings. ### 2/5 — App is garbage *2024-12-30, version 3.2.13* Good product but the app never works for me ever. ### 1/5 — Difficult- not helpful *2024-11-18* The app is worthless as to install. Do I need an app to say “disconnect old wires, connect new wires. Tuck wires away.” WOW. I had to Google how to disconnect old wires. It was easy, but the app should tell you. There is nothing about how to connect your device to the app. I had to hunt and peck to figuring out. Further, it couldn’t find the device, but it was 100% turned on. I manually entered to serial number (which isn’t on device but on box - ridiculous). No confirmation on connection. Again by clicking around I found how to control the device via the app. Absolutely terrible design. ### 3/5 — CarPlay *2024-10-18, version 3.2.13* Se viene integrata su CarPlay sarebbe il top ### 1/5 — Junk *2024-10-06, version 3.2.12* Throws codes & puts my truck into limp mode constantly. Had to buy a code reader to reset. Do not buy!!!!!! ### 1/5 — Bağlantı kesilme sorunu *2024-09-12, version 3.2.7* Her araca bindiğimde tekrar tekrar bağlantı yapmak zorunda kalıyorum cihazı 12.09.2024 tarihinde aldım fakat uygulamanın bozulması beni hüsrana uğrattı lütfen düzeltirseniz çok sevinirim iyi çalışmalar dilerim ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Cant control my pedal commander with app *2026-07-29, version 3.3.19* I paired it but everything looks gray and doesn’t connect to my pedal commander, please fix it ### 1/5 — No Bluetooth *2026-06-21, version 3.3.16* Canceled my subscription! Won't be back until they actually fix the Bluetooth problem. I should get a refund as well ### 1/5 — Anti tefth option doesn’t work it’s like a scam *2025-12-02, version 3.3.10* I tried several time to configure the anti theft but unfortunately it’s impossible to use. I pay the subscription but I never had a service. I am disappointed. ### 1/5 — This App is useless *2025-11-15, version 3.3.10* Every time I need to do it manually. This app doesn’t power on the power commander ### 1/5 — Love/Hate *2025-11-11, version 3.3.10* I love the way it performs, but hate the constant code throwing and loss of throttle response. These faults have jeopardized my safety on multiple occasions and now I refuse to use it anymore. Spend the money at your own risk. ### 1/5 — Terrible *2025-08-23, version 3.3.10* What a stupid app. They literally have the serial number under the unit so after you install and try to set up the app, you either have to pull it back off ruining the sticky part or you just don’t use the app. Honestly I’ve never seen where a company don’t use their brain like this. Terrible and annoying!! ### 1/5 — Anti theft great concept, poorly executed *2025-08-21, version 3.3.10* The devices is great. I paid $9.99 for the Anti Theft feature and when it works, its great. However, I have been just sitting for about 10 minutes waiting for the anti theft toggle to show so I can turn it off and start driving and nothing. Connecting/disconnecting wouldn’t work. If this would have been an emergency, Pedal commander would have made it much worse. This time I was just annoyed but I am seriously thinking of not using it anymore ### 1/5 — Can't connect *2025-05-20, version 3.3.6* Can't connect Bluetooth with new update worked fine before ### 1/5 — I see you While yeah I got a 2.7 review *2025-05-04, version 3.3.0* H ### 1/5 — Doesn’t connect *2025-02-15, version 3.2.17* App will not connect to my vehicle. My unit is not working properly, and customer service suggested updating/ mapping through the app. Did not work. Terrible app!!! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Such a dramatic difference *2026-04-25, version 3.3.15* This unit is the best purchase I’ve made in a while. For my truck, I noticed a huge change in responsiveness. It like I got a new truck. Thanks! ### 5/5 — Great for “sluggish” 4Runner *2026-04-24, version 3.3.15* The Pedal Commander makes my 2023 4Runner drive with much more PEP ### 5/5 — Sehr gut *2025-10-28, version 3.3.10* Läuft einwandfrei seit mehrere Jahren top! ### 5/5 — Great! *2025-08-21, version 3.3.10* I put one on my 2022 dually with the HO Cummins and it improved everything from city to short and long haul towing by 6-8 mpg. ### 5/5 — It’s an amazing device *2025-01-01, version 3.2.13* I was not sure if it would really work, but after installing it on my Bronco I was surprised how crazy this little device is. Easy to install and it does make a big difference. ### 5/5 — No Problems *2024-12-21, version 3.2.13* App works as advertised. I’m able to adjust and preset per the directions. The Pedal Commander device is a game changer in efficiently maximizing horsepower in multiple driving environments. ### 5/5 — not sure why this only had 2.5 stars *2024-10-30* i rate this a 5 because i absolutely love this device. its a game changer on the road and really fun to drive with. i would love an update to make the settings more fine tune because i had all mone at -4 and it drives great and having it more is just too aggressive and full throttle feels like its not moving the vechicle. This device is purely for spirited driving not for spirited racing. The bluetooth works flawlessly when changing modes, but just be sure to not have foot on gas pedal like its stated or itll go into limb mode. **Dont want it in limb mode or the car feels like it'll expolde, 😅. ### 5/5 — Love it *2024-10-16, version 3.2.13* Leave the settings in eco level 2 18 city 21 hwy. ### 5/5 — Great Device and App *2024-07-12* Idk what people are complaining about, the app and device have been great and fun to use. They did just release a new update so I will see how that goes but for now I’m really enjoying it since I got it a bit over a year ago. ### 5/5 — Love it *2024-07-10, version 3.0.4* Everyone being extra I don’t get this takes a whole second off my 0-60 no problems with the app had everything for about a year and love it --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
