### 3/5 — Lacking

*2026-07-29, version 2026.28*

Considering what they say in the app description I find the actual app very lacking, purchased premium yet very limited controls compared to other apps, no where to create automations although they state that. It’s more expensive than another popular 3rd party Tesla app yet seems to have half the functionality! It’s a shame as some of the stuff in the app like range rings are excellent and helpful! Visuals for battery information is great! Really let down by lacking the stuff they claim to have but actually don’t.

### 2/5 — Too obsessed with reporting and not basics

*2026-04-02, version 2026.13.1*

Used to be a useful tool but the developers are too obsessed with FSD and other reporting yet basics like home charging no longer works. The Add time of day charging has stopped functioning but nothing seems to be done about it. Very good on trip reporting but that’s about all value to me now.

### 3/5 — Not as useful anymore.

*2026-03-16, version 2026.7*

well, as I said, not as useful anymore, and definitely not worth the price the app does more than half of what this app used to do

### 5/5 — Best EV app

*2025-07-21, version 2025.27.1*

The best EV app companion. Highly recommended.

### 3/5 — What’s the point

*2025-05-25, version 2025.21*

Not sure what the point of this app is, works fine and gives you stats for ever, just not sure why I would spend £59 on it on reflection

### 3/5 — Effacement trajet

*2025-04-28*

Serait-il possible d’avoir la possibilité d’effacer des trajets?

### 4/5 — Top

*2025-03-01*

Il manque le français

### 2/5 — Bait and switch?

*2025-02-04, version 2025.6.1*

I am an early adopter of this app.  Purchased a “founders” license that granted me premium features (for life) and has been working great.  Until recently when they now want more money to support more than one vehicle.  

I get it that operating costs go up but don’t “founding” members should be grandfathered into no limits in terms of the amount of vehicle connections.

### 1/5 — Price rise is a no go

*2025-02-01, version 2025.5.2*

I liked this app. Although it’s hardly vital to everyday EV use, the data is interesting. But now that they’ve almost doubled the monthly cost AND charge still more for two EVs (thus tripling the cost!), it’s just not worth it. So long, TezLab subscription!

### 1/5 — Cancelled my Pro Subscription

*2025-02-01, version 2025.5.2*

We own two EV’s and used the app for limited purposes. We’ve been long time support and highly recommended the app till now. Just received a notification that we can only track one vehicle with current subscription and need to upgrade further? We’re done!!

### 1/5 — Your website doesn’t work!

*2026-06-04, version 2026.21*

Your website doesn’t work! And now app have glitches

### 1/5 — Disappointed

*2026-05-03, version 2026.17*

I have waited over a week for this app to show me something other than what I already see with the Tesla app. The only consistent feature on this app is that it continues to disconnect from the car multiple times a day.

### 1/5 — Phone Won’t Recognize Texan Pro

*2026-03-24, version 2026.7*

I installed TezLab and paid for 1 year subscription for TezLab Pro. Even though the purchase shows in my subscription list, the app does not recognize this purchase. Every time I click on an option in the app, it tells me I need to subscribe to Pro. I sent an email to support but have not received a response. Very disappointed. I’m hoping someone from TezLab reads this and contacts me.

### 1/5 — Deleted

*2025-11-29, version 2025.46.1*

UPDATE: I gave ONE STAR for this review yet users see all five stars..!!

I’d give ZERO stars for this app if I could. 

Can only sign up if you agree to tandcs AND receive emails from vendor. This kind of sign up is outwith Apples terms and conditions and has been reported. 

App should be removed from the store for this.

### 1/5 — App is to buggy

*2025-11-10, version 2025.44.6*

Had to remove. Wasn’t working right.   I’m just gonna use the Tesla app   Wouldn’t even let me add the virtual key.

### 1/5 — Squeezed out

*2025-10-31, version 2025.43.2*

I have had this app since 2018 when I got my model three. It was fully functional when I first downloaded it and since I do not pay for any subscriptions, every single feature that is even mildly useful has been removed since then. There’s no reason to keep this app as an un paying subscriber.

### 1/5 — Greedy company with a terrible attitude

*2025-07-28, version 2025.27.1*

You can check reddit how “politely” they answer to their customers. Watch app doesn’t work, main app has low value unless you need to report mileage

### 1/5 — Zero reason to use in 2025

*2025-04-25, version 2025.18.10*

The Tesla and Rivian apps are 10x better than the slop this company “engineers”.

### 1/5 — Changed the deal after the fact

*2025-03-03, version 2025.9.4*

Bought for both cars, now they’ve changed the deal after I subscribed.  Will not be resubscribing.

### 1/5 — Holy lost features Batman!

*2025-02-13, version 2025.7*

I really enjoy having the data available for every trip in our EVs. A lot of the data was behind an initial paywall which I obliged. Given that we were able to see the data I wanted/needed it was worth it. 

There are a lot of data points I would like to see, but so far what I’m getting is worth it. But now, it isn’t. There has been an adjustment to the subscription model and the data I signed up to receive isn’t available for my vehicles. 

First the subscription cost got jacked up. Then they add an additional subscription per vehicle. My costs to support this app have increased more than 3x. So much for “cheaper than a couple cups of coffee a month.”

Because of the truly exorbitant price increases, this app is no longer worth it. Not enough data, not enough usefulness to justify these costs.

### 5/5 — Lucid Support?

*2026-08-11, version 2026.32*

Any chance you will add support for Lucid vehicles? Thanks in advance.

### 5/5 — Incredible data

*2026-03-19, version 2026.7*

I can make .csv files and use them in python to make fun graphs of my car usage. This app is amazing. So much more from driving maps to weekly reports. It’s superior to the Tesla main app and I worked at Tesla.

Edit saved me 500$!

Was connected to a neighbors plug in duplex and they claimed way more usage and TezLab won when my data was presented to the landlord !

And I have years of data I can toss into an LLM and visualize for great sentimental value datasets

### 5/5 — Great statistical analysis

*2026-02-09, version 2026.1*

I really enjoy going through the data. It is very useful. I also like seeing the trips and especially the Range map which is really useful. You can set it for real world or rated.

### 5/5 — My thoughts

*2025-11-15, version 2025.45.2*

It’s easy to manage live the look of it great job

### 5/5 — Tiene reporte sobre estado de baterías ?

*2025-10-24, version 2025.41.3*

Me gustaría preguntar al desarrollador si esta App tiene alguna información sobre el estado de las baterías,  gracias

### 5/5 — FSD tracking

*2025-10-04, version 2025.40*

Still waiting for it to appear

### 5/5 — Using TezLab for years

*2025-08-20, version 2025.27.1*

My original purpose for using this app was to export charging data and reimbursed for my electricity usage. Over time, I’ve seen it steadily improve with new features, and it remains my go-to app for tracking drive usage, battery life, charging data, and more.

With the recent addition of FSD tracking, I’m excited monitoring my FSD drives. I also just began using the new FSD Leaderboard feature, live in the car which is a fantastic addition.

This app keeps getting better, and I highly recommend it to anyone who wants reliable insights into their Tesla!

### 5/5 — FSD tracker

*2025-08-16, version 2025.27.1*

An awesome new feature that Ben at Tezlab has accomplished.  It keeps track of how much you are using FSD on your Tesla.  Just had this feature added on my Cybertruck. Awesome app and utilize daily.

### 5/5 — The knowledge about your EV

*2025-08-10, version 2025.27.1*

Initially I just wanted to track my charging metrics, but this app does so much more! I really like how it allows you to group trips together to form your overall trip view.  My only complaint is on me for not starting to use this app from day one!  Too bad there is no way to get historical data of some kind (pre app install), but having already spoken to the very responsive and knowledgeable developers, this just isn’t possible.

### 5/5 — Using TezLab for years

*2025-08-07*

My initial intent and purpose was to use this app to export charging data and reimburse for my electric consumption. I’ve seen the application consistently improve with new features and is still my go to app for drive utilization, battery life, charging data, etc. With the addition of FSD tracking I can’t wait to begin tracking FSD drives. I highly recommend this app.
