doesnt connect

keeps saying token expired doesnt connect to my watch

Sucks

Used to be good when it was WiFi controlled. Now just sucks it hardly works

how can i request refund?

it informed me that only bluetooth mode is available with this application. it was not supported as first time with API.

Does not work with early S/X models

App is clunky. Once you go into the units setup page, there is no way to go back. Also it appears that the app doesn’t work for early model X, I have a 2016 MDX and no dice.

Can’t get it to work

Tried everything. Not working.

USED to be great. NOT the case anymore

as I said, this used to be a great App before the price bump and a great cash grab now it’s useless for those cars and Bluetooth connection straight up garbage do not recommend one star.

Didn’t work

Tried the Watchla app for Tesla during the 3-day free trial and unfortunately it never worked properly. I could get it to link initially, but it would not unlock doors, act as a key, or control anything on the car. The gesture feature that is supposed to open the trunk by raising your hand definitely didn’t work either. I literally stood there outside my car raising my hand like an idiot hoping the trunk would open. I tried everything I could think of and nothing fixed it. Thankfully it was just the free trial.

can’t set it up

too many steps, not automatic, failed to pair with bluetooth

Not computable with model S

I have tried multiple times to set up this app to no avail then I realized the instructions are only for models 3 and Y

No longer works for older models s and x

Bought this to be used with my 2017 MX. Recent update made it no longer usable for these older models. Greatly disappointed.

Reducing legacy car use

Not fun.

Bluetooth isn’t the way

If the ability to preheat my Tesla requires me to go outside in 18F weather to stand next to my car… the value just isn’t there.

Nicht mehr nutzbar

Ich habe die App vierbeiniger Zeit gekauft und dafür Geld bezahlt. Leider wird mein Fahrzeug jetzt nicht mehr unterstützt, da nur noch Bluetooth Kommunikation möglich ist.
Rausgeschmissenes Geld. So war das nicht vereinbart.

예전에 구매를 했는데 다시 요금을 내야 하나요??

스토어에서 예전에 구매했는데 사용하려하니 요금이 생겼네요. 예전 구매자는 어떻게 되나요??

Slow app

Slow responses when press command bottom, take 5-10 seconds to respond from the car most of time is not even working.

Not good

Bug不修正,車子常常與Apple watch 連結不到。

This is a $1.99 One Time Purchase App

This is insane that developer is trying to grab $1.99 per month for a Bluetooth only app. This app should be between $.99 and $1.99 for a flat out purchase. There is absolutely no reason whatsoever to try and grab a monthly subscription price. Shame on you for even attempting this to unsuspecting consumers that don’t know any better.

What have they done ??!!??

I really liked the Watchla app for a full year. But now they've tinkered with it for apparently financial reasons and I can't get the app to work for the life of me! I contacted the company twice and haven't heard back a thing. Really disappointed.

App no longer works for model S 2020

I had enjoyed and used the app often until recently when the developer did an update to it. Now it no longer works on my Model S 2020.

Only Bluetooth

Ganz toll erst hat es wunderbar funktioniert und nun wird es umgestellt danke dafür!
