It doesn’t work

Doesn’t unlock my car. Doesn’t turn on the AC just tells me what my phone tells me and less features. This app is a waste of money. Total disappointment. Don’t spend the money.

Doesn’t work anymore

Useless as it’s read only and no commands have worked for a very long time.

Does not work

I just purchased this app yesterday (5/28/2026). This app does not seem to work as it does not seem to be linked to the Tesla app. Unfortunately, support does not respond to my emails. I would like my money back at this point.

Gut funktioniert

Viel besser als App von Tesla, aber es gibt paar Sachen zu verbessern

Doesn’t work anymore

I’m extremely disappointed in this application, I paid the full $25 for it and then connected successfully to my car. I can do read only functions like see stats of the car but anytime I issue a command to it like to honk the horn, flash the headlights or activate home link, which is why I bought it, nothing happens. I did a pretty deep investigation and found out that it’s because of the Tesla API change, but it looks like the author hasn’t updated this in a long time and it no longer works for pushing commands to the car, so it doesn’t work and they know it, but they’re still selling it for $25 and advertising that it still works for all the push commands

Remote Start doesn’t work

I bought this app so that way I would stop having to pay for a Tessie subscription to have the ability to do keyless driving with my older S.

But this app doesn’t work. The Tessie app has no issue with remote start :(.

Does not work

If you want stats that’s all it does. No help or anyone to contact for any assistance. Garbage!! not worth it!!

Garbage

Crash. Does not work. Requesting refund like many others. Can’t believe Apple allows this trash in the store.

Not working

Can you please fix the app. It is not communicating with my car. Commands are not working.

Remote does not work

I bought this app to remote start from my Apple Watch. It doesn’t work at all. I am requesting a refund. This app gives you all this information about the car but doesn’t do the basics! The watch only has 4 commands. None of which work. I tried the seri option and it says to revert back to the app on the phone. I tried using the unlock the car command within the app on the phone and it says unable to unlock. I even tried to press the Apple Watch screen harder to see the other commands or even just get one of them to work and .. nothing. I need my money back. I spent 25$ for nothing!

Doesn’t work

I got this to pair with my watch when I don’t have my phone and it doesn’t work. Commands don’t work from my watch and they don’t even work from the app either. I was just trying to vent the windows from the app before I wrote this. It’s also impossible to get ahold of these clowns for help. There’s no refund option either. I reported them to Apple.

App Doesn’t Work!

I had this app for a couple of years and it was working fine. Over the past few months I can no longer get the app to work properly and have contact the developer several times and they have not reaponded.

Doesn’t have the data

Spent the $25 to see my perfconfig data and to determine if the car is uncorked. Can’t find the info.

ForceTouch

Please fix Force Touch on Apple Watch. Force touch not working.

Commands don’t work

None of the commands work with the app. My car is easily controlled with the native Tesla app as well as the 3rd party Tessie app. This app doesn’t work at all. I signed in successfully, it has my cars data and status, but all the commands fail.

Doesn’t Work

It looks like it might be an API issue, but I’m not certain. Regardless this app doesn’t work on the 2024 Cybertruck, 2024 Model X, or 2021 Model 3.

Force Touch

Please fix Force Touch on Apple Watch. Force touch not working.

Nice Tesla Watch App.

Had few problems!
1st I could not get the watch app. On my watch face. Because it was called Remote. But Apple also has a remote. Which defaulted to Apple Remote app.
After Apple’s 18 and 11 updates. The app finally showed up as Tesla Remote. Then I was able to get it on the watch face.
Next everything seen to work but the Start Climate, Keyless Start, Unlock, and Lock!
Please help with this! Then it would be 5 Stars!
