### 1/5 — Doesn’t work with new iPhones

*2025-06-25, version 2.13.2*

Any chance this might get updated for new iPhones/iOS versions. It’s been years and it won’t connect to my 16 Pro.

### 1/5 — Don’t even try

*2024-10-30, version 2.13.2*

Doing everything for a 5 hours !
Absolutely impossible to connect app with the GPS 
Computer programmer !

### 1/5 — Connect

*2024-10-06, version 2.13.2*

App will not connect to my Tom Tom 400. It use too until the update. The device and phone go through the process as they should, they show as paired, but the device will not jive with the app.

### 2/5 — Landscape Mode - The App Crashes when adding places

*2024-02-23, version 2.13.2*

I really like TomTom’s products, but our sense of convenience is constricted through your lack of versatility in the MyDrive app. There’s no Landscape Mode for your application so it limits how I can use my IPad while your using your application, and sometimes the application shuts down completely when I add new places to my device through MyDrive or when I try to send addresses to my phone. Can you help us out TomTom?

### 1/5 — Awful

*2023-11-12, version 2.13.2*

Won’t stay connected and hasn’t for years. Maybe planned obsolescence so you’ll purchase again?

Won’t work in my case.

### 1/5 — Crapware! Prefer to support subscription app

*2023-09-11, version 2.13.2*

ACK! TomTom would prefer to develop its subscription app. iPhone 14 connects-disconnects repeatedly. Even when connected no syncing is done. 1 star is 5 too many.

### 2/5 — Planned Obsolescence?

*2023-09-01, version 2.13.2*

Not compatible on iOS 16+ !

Bluetooth pairing appears to complete but devices cannot communicate.  Connection drops out. 

Tried with three different devices running iOS 16.  - Issue repeats with all devices.

### 4/5 — I was confused by the instructions

*2023-08-08, version 2.13.2*

I'm using the app with the Go 520. Aside from navigation, traffic is very important. I couldn't get traffic to work until I, just by chance, turned on my phone's personal hotspot. It would have been nice if this was part of the instructions.

### 1/5 — Useless

*2023-07-28, version 2.13.2*

Error connection

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2023-06-25*

All the reviews are correct, maybe this app is dead and all those with TomTom devices are left with a useless device. My old original TomTom worked great for years and displayed real time traffic conditions all by itself! Now, With a newer TomTom, you have to download a cumbersome app and connect your phone to the device via Bluetooth just to get traffic. The Bluetooth connection never works! And the app suggests, in case of connectivity issues to use your cell phone hotspot!! The whole reason for me using a TomTom on long trips was to NOT use my phone/data/battery. So what’s the point of the TomTom when it requires an additional phone navigation app to work properly! (And then doesn’t!!) Definitely not an improvement and a waste of money.
