Car Play Sync & Connect for Negative User Reviews
✓ 2024 Mazda cx5 Signature turboI love the way the car drives. Dash readout and controls are far to complicated and manual is almost useless. ( do I really need six ways to set up dash readout). Manual contains too much information that doesn’t pertain to my car. It seems Mazda may have combined manuals for European, Japanese, and USA versions of the car into one manual. It is ridiculously difficult to use. I am hoping I can find more useful instructions on the internet. I will try try the My Mazda app but it doesn’t look encouraging so far. Again, fuel mileage is poor vs competition and I like the way the car drives..Version: 1.7.0
✓ Not worth $20 per month get iosCar OSCar OS is better, more colourful and 10% of the price.Version: 1.7.0
✓ Rubbish in the UKFirst off it lists cars sold in tubs US not the Uk. So no Nissan quashqi or pulsar. Inputting car manually is pointless. Maps seems to think I’m living in the USA. All search functions take me to the US.Version: 1.6.8
✓ What do you even get?Would be nice if the developer outlined what features are locked for free users and what you can unlock with a pod subscription. Can’t even tell what features are supposed to work or not for free use..Version: 1.7.0
✓ *UPDATE* Doesn’t seem to work at allSECOND UPDATE I was contacted a second time by email Mansplaining to me how it should work and telling me basically well the Ford focus will only work in Europe. OK well fine then then explain that in the app. Why not explain while the other two vehicles will not work in the US? Completely failed to address that problem. Only wanted to address the one thing they could actually sold. Come on! Why not actually try to fix the app? This is pathetic. I would go negative stars if I was allowed. Three different vehicles 2014 Buick Regal 2017 Ford Focus 2021 Ford Escape Doesn’t work for any of them although app says they’re all compatible. ***I was contacted and I’d take that last step away if I could. This app LITERALLY has a list to search for car compatibility… why the heck do I need to contact you (the developer)? I will NOT fill out your form so you can have allllllll my information… No. just no. Please refer back to YOUR OWN APP…. That section where you can check for the year, make, and model of these vehicles (you’ll find they’re all there) says the app should work… it doesn’t..Version: 1.4.3
✓ 2018 BMW 320iI checked my cars capability and it says it does but I’m scared to buy and it not show what it shows on the screen shots for the app. I hit demo mode and it does nothing. Can someone who has tried it on a 2018 BMW 320i kindly let me know if it’s worth it. So many mixed reviews..Version: 1.7.0
✓ FleecewarePretty sure this is fleeceware and they are out to take your money. Very suspicious how there are two different identical looking websites for bloomup and makename with some really weird wording on the websites. And for being 4.7 there are a lot of negative written reviews, I feel like the reviews have been padded. For being a company that is supposedly focused on UX and has great attention to detail, their app doesn’t give you much instruction on how to connect it to your car unless you pay a monthly subscription fee or hefty lifetime payment. Just stick to the app provided by the manufacturer and don’t waste your money here. If you were scammed report them to Apple..Version: 1.7.0
✓ Looks can be deceivingIt looked very nice and had my interest until the ridiculous monthly use charge of $25 was revealed. The five star rating took a rapid and terminal plunge to one star history. Maybe I missed some special feature but I will never pay anywhere near the monthly charge to park my virtual vehicles in this virtual garage for real money. Do you accept Monopoly money or do I virtually go to jail and not pass “Go”..Version: 1.6.16
✓ IdentityIf one were to gain access to one’s personal information without one’s permission , this app, in mt opinion based on the reviews, would give above and beyond the police access to one’s vehicle. One would gain remote access by default while the registered owner is being navigated through “corn fields and unknown areas during “high alert” weather. When the app is smarter than the owner; one might dean one’s self Big Brother in Orwell’s 1984 with malice and full intent to do harm. My opinions also bias after identity theft, 4 stolen registrations, car keys and insurance information..Version: 1.7.0
✓ Not worth itAll it does is make a dashboard on your phone which is absolutely useless because I have Bluetooth and can just ask Siri to make a call or play music. My vehicle gets no details showing any diagnostic information. You have to pay before even seeing what the app does and I took the bait and paid the 70$ which I regret. This app just is not worth it. Yes I have emailed the support email and shared my frustration and they did not give me any resolution or hope that this app is worth it. I have no idea how this app is rated so high..Version: 1.7.0
✓ Cancel subscriptionTerrible customer service. Chat room will not respond. App will not download. Just goes in a loop. Plan on advising credit card company not to pay and am on the process of trying to cancel after 1/2 hour of trying to download..Version: 1.7.0
✓ ScamThis app is a scam. You pay to get absolutely nothing that doesn’t already come as a basic thing on your phone. Navigation is just google maps, phone is just your phone in different format, music is just Apple Music. No option to actually sync your car to your phone. All I was able to do was manually add my Cadillac to the app and then nothing. Absolutely NO options but to remove car, read about app bull crap or contact them. Also to be in demo or driving mode with does nothing but but your basic phone apps on one screen, which has nothing to do with car that is supposed to be linked but can’t link because there isn’t even an option to link a vehicle..Version: 1.6.17
✓ Waste of MoneyYou have to buy a Subscription to find out if the App will work with your Vehicle. Much to my surprise Subaru, though the safest Vehicle with the highest resale value has zero compatibility and my Dodge grand Caravan is the one exception to their Coverage. A total Rip-Off. I want my money back but Contact Us in the App does not conveniently work..Version: 1.7.0
✓ Does not work on iPadDear developer, I would like to request a refund. I bought it for a month to try out. It does not connect to my car’s navigation to display the map whole driving. Two employees at the car dealership tried to set it up when it failed to work for me. Their research on the web revealed that car play is not supported for the iPad . This should have been made known before purchase. Please tell me how to get a refund..Version: 1.7.0
✓ Doesn’t work the way you want itIn order to actually use the app, you need to be logged into your dealership app. Example: I have a Toyota vehicle, I can’t set up a Toyota account because I bought my car from a dealership and not the actual Toyota dealership, so it can’t connect to all the nice features the Toyota app offers. I expected this app to just Bluetooth my car and sync with it when I clicked on “connect smart connectivity” once I bought the monthly plan it told me to log into my Toyota app, which is useless in my situation and if I had the app I wouldn’t need this app. Hopefully apple gives me a refund bc if you’re in my shoes with your ride, don’t purchase this..Version: 1.7.0
✓ ….No good.Version: 1.7.0
✓ Please give me a refundI don't need this app and I haven't tried this app for a single day. I request a refund..Version: 1.7.0
✓ Audi Q4 etronDoes not even login - obscure error message. I am able to login on the myAudi app with the correct credentials. Update: my apps are up to date both myAUDI as yours - am afraid I have to agree with the many reviewers that have issues with this application. To the developer, please address the real issues mentioned and not refer it back to the end user. The feedback is real!.Version: 1.7.0
✓ Doesn’t work!I’ve downloaded and paid for this app. It does not work. I requested a refund due to it not working and I do mean it DOESNT work! Apple refused to give me my money back. The only way you could get full benefits of this app is to pay $15; so I just got stiffed out of my money..Version: 1.7.0
✓ It’s a pass for nowThe maps seem to be hellbent on sending me to the States or Australia. Living in the UK. Just a fancy UI it seems and I was going to subscribe, until the maps issue. Not sure why the maps were an issue, maybe it’s because I didn’t subscribe so it doesn’t do immediate location? But it was using Google Maps built in 🤷🏻♂️ Maybe let people have a day free trial, might be better. Or even less that a day? That might actually tempt people to think “hey this was pretty good for a day journey, I wanna keep using it.” Boom. Experience succeeded and subscribed..Version: 1.6.2
✓ Not what I expectedI expected I could turn on my car or open doors and close them but none of that only control the radio, location, phone and I can do that with the car itself not worth $15 a month for something you’re car can already do..Version: 1.7.0
✓ Complete ScamPaid for one month. To sync my vehicle, the app sent me to my My BMW login and when I identified my car, year, make, model and try to sync, it pulls up a completely different car. When I go into my My BMW app garage, it is my correct car. Total scam. Don’t waste your time. Not happy..Version: 1.7.0
✓ RefundI didnt mean to make a purchase for $70 please refund my money.Version: 1.7.0
✓ Unusable, crashes constantlyI have tried deleting and reinstalling but this app simply doesn’t work on iOS 17. Try to play music and instant crash back to the Home Screen. Try to navigate and boom, crash back to the Home Screen. I really wanted something like CarPlay but that uses the phone’s screen instead of the car’s but this $50 app (wasn’t able to do any trial) isn’t it. I have requested a refund and hopefully it will be approved..Version: 1.7.0
✓ Completely bogus / RipoffNo where during the setup process does it say you need to have an already existing subscription to use this app. I thought all I would have to do was pay the 50 bucks, then the app would connect to and work with my Toyota Tacoma. But no. I have to pay the 50 bucks for the app, PLUS have an active Toyota subscription at 80 bucks a year to use the apps services. I should have known 50 bucks one time purchase was too good to be true..Version: 1.7.0
✓ Still decidingI always try apps before I decide to buy if possible, I don’t think I will buy this unless I can get my local radio stations in Tasmania where I live I could not find them anywhere in the list, it should have all Australian radio stations not just a few.Version: 1.7.0
✓ App is a scamThey take your money but don’t allow you to log in or context your vehicle at all. It’s just circles around every time you try and add the vehicle. Just takes you to the help page every time.Version: 1.7.0
✓ Volvo review functionalityI paid a lifetime membership because I believe that I will have more info that the Volvo App but I’m disappointed, because the app has less functionality that the original app, from the app you can just lock and unlock the door and see where is parked your car (I expect to see the temp inside the vehicle and the tyre pressure), and from the Volvo app you can start your vehicle, close and open the doors, see notifications about windows open or roof, and the outside temp, this is the reason why I decide to purchase the app, even in your demo show the tyres pressure, and even in your video demonstration on App Store (Volvo car). What your app do that original and free app from Volvo don’t? Because seems to me that just read what the Volvo app does and do the same but with less functionality. I give you 2 stars just because you have Radio from others countries. 49.99£ spend for nothing, I will make a claim because in your presentation video show functionally that doesn’t have after the purchase, and nowhere is write that you app just copy what Volvo app does, and maybe the people don’t spend money for have less functionality, and just to make you richer..Version: 1.7.0
✓ ComplaintUnable to use as trying to put in weird info on car.Version: 1.7.0
✓ No free trialNot going to pay before I know if it works.Version: 1.7.0
✓ Absolutely terribleAll I want to do is have my music and gps play through the screen on my car, abs I can’t do that without paying for a subscription. It’s a basic thing. I can see having other features as a paid service but not that..Version: 1.7.0
✓ Rip offConfirmed compatibility, added car, nothing happens. Waste. Of. £15..Version: 1.7.0
✓ Car SyncThis app is not good, in my opinion. What I was wanting was to be able to turn my car on to let it warm up, but it didn’t do that and all the app did was show my vehicle. Plus you can’t go in the app and cancel your subscription which is also poor design. I wanted to like the app, but unfortunately, I did not..Version: 1.7.0
✓ Does NOT work with Ram, and probably all ChryslerOnly the very basics of this app function in my Ram. When I try to set up “smart connectivity“, the app defaults to the old UConnect app that Chrysler has dropped over two years ago. For the Ram line of vehicles a new app called Ram, in conjunction with SiriusXM Guardian is what Chrysler uses. This app is not compatible with either account, meaning, it is impossible to set up “smart connectivity”, making the app pretty useless. I emailed the developer of this app asking when they were going to upgrade the app to make a compatible, but never got a response. I requested a refund and deleted the app..Version: 1.7.0
✓ Not workingWest of £15.Version: 1.7.0
✓ Useless. Do not work for me.Paid for one year accidentally as I thought I was going to pay for an honda app . Bad communication with them to get reimbursed. Can’t even get back to my account. I’ll try directly with apple or my credit card..Version: 1.7.0
✓ All it does is spinI want my money back,.Version: 1.7.0
✓ DisappointedWorst app. Don’t download it’s just to get your money.Version: 1.7.0
✓ Doesn’t work for my carThis app does not provide any information for my 2014 Toyota Camry. I paid for the month subscription but I had it for 10 minute and realized it is not worth it. But I was not able to find a way to cancel.Version: 1.7.0
✓ App Doesn’t WorkThe app straight up doesn’t work. I’ve been trying to link it to my Toyota for over 72 hours. I can log in, but I never get my car status details. It just loads perpetually. Pretty frustrating for an app that tries to get you to pay for it almost immediately after you download and launch it..Version: 1.6.2
✓ Not freeI would not suggest this to anyone after you are done getting your preferences on the app and stuff you have to pay.Version: 1.7.0
✓ Not a good serviceIt will not sync to my phone I tried to cancel the subscription but the subscription is no where in my apple subscriptions I even contacted them via email and it just keep sending me auto emails on how to cancel this is the worst app ever I am very very disappointed and very upset that purchased this and I can’t get my money back so please don’t waste your time with this app.Version: 1.7.0
✓ Apple Car Play just stopped working.I’m disappointed and I want a refund for the membership. Initially the app works fine but lately, it disappears from my IPhone and Kia. I thought the app was updated with a new version. But, after reinstalling, it asked me to pay a membership to move forward. I didn’t like to pay the $50 but I did to get it going. It kept on asking me for more information and configuration. Why?? I’m deciding not to use it and find another easy application to use..Version: 1.6.17
✓ Does not support third party appsDoes not support Spotify, Google maps or Waze, etc..Version: 1.7.0
✓ Does not work, no instructions“Update” contacted support. Still not worth the money, shows less data than the factory app shows. Still gives error message. Save your money, don’t bother with this app if you have a Hyundai. I have a 2023 venue. The all connected to my car. But is is saying, the following. Your car was connected successfully. However, we require additional permissions to access it data. And it does not give me any instructions on what to do to fix this issue. Completely useless app with no support..Version: 1.6.15
✓ Finding vehicleWas unable to find vehicle in a mile long list. Would be nice to have a filter option rather than scrolling through a laundry list of vehicles..Version: 1.7.0
✓ App is data-mining everything..First off - this type of app only needs to connect between your car and phone app “locally” to visualize data your vehicle sensors provide on the app… that being said… I suggest digging in a little deeper… They are continuously collecting everything that the app can touch.. as soon as it hits your phone app, next hop - public network.. whether they hide the identity of your data or not… if they collect any data other than whats needed to keep existing core app functions.. functioning…they are monetizing on that information…. Because they can…. Users should be paid to keep these type of apps installed and running in their phone….but no one cares….Version: 1.7.0
✓ Not HappyPurchased this app expecting it to hook up to my car play stereo trying to make contact with company is impossible for a refund. Don’t do it.Version: 1.7.0
✓ Full on scam! In order to even use this app u need a onstar sub, but they don’t tell youThis literally is the biggest scam out there. Its literally the same thing as mychevy app but you still need a subscription from onstar in order to even use this app: it then makes you think your getting a trial upon sign up and it doesn’t even tell you right away that u need to have the onstar before you sign up. Then it runs your card 2 days later.Version: 1.7.0
✓ Good appDecent works well but would’ve liked the option of music platform for spotify instead of only apple music, same with satnav, as i use waze not google maps. good app nether the less..Version: 1.7.0
✓ Can’t log inUninstalled app a number of times and tried to reinstall but still cannot log in!.Version: 1.7.0
✓ Does absolutely NOTHINGSo…. I paid $20 for an app that all it does is shows a picture of a car like mine??? My car was in the list, but it doesn’t show ANY of the details shown in the screenshots on the app listing. Buyer beware as others have said. Wish I’d read the reviews before buying!!.Version: 1.6.12
✓ Would be a good app if…I downloaded the app and gave it a try, it worked fine but you can only connect Apple Music… what if someone doesn’t have Apple Music, such as me…. I can’t even connect my Spotify account so I have to go to Spotify separately to play my music then go back to the app… such a faff! I wouldn’t pay for the subscription because of that!.Version: 1.6.15
✓ Not sureI’m not going to pay £14.99 a month or £49.99 for a year until I’ve tried it to see if it’s compatible and more importantly any good. You should offer a free trial for 1 week with the option to then purchase..Version: 1.7.0
✓ Can’t tell if it works until I pay !!There should be an option for a day free so that users can check to see if this app really does work with their car. Im not paying £9.99/£19.99 only to find it either doesn’t work as thought, or it doesn’t fulfill my needs..Version: 1.6.2
✓ Does not work in USI tried setting this up for a 2023 Subaru ascent and the app does nothing at all. Yeah it turns my phone into “car mode” which isn’t any help at all since this car has navigation installed. This was a gigantic waste of $53. The description doesn’t seem to address that it doesn’t work in the US..Version: 1.7.0
✓ Don’t recommendPaid the subscription before being able to find out my 2020 BMW is not compatible. Not impressed by this at all..Version: 1.2.0
✓ Not compatibleI’m sure this app works and is great for some people but it’s completely useless for me and some others. It’s really disappointing that you make us pay for it before we can even see if our car is compatible. It kind of feels like you’re scamming us. You should really invest in making at least a 5 day trial run so when you’re app doesn’t even give us the option to connect to the car we can just cancel it and move on. Thanks for wasting my money and I hope it does you some good because it didn’t do me any..Version: 1.7.0
✓ Took my money and doesn’t work for HondaThis app took my money and isn’t even compatible with Honda! There is NO option to see the list of vehicles prior to buying in… so their previous reply to someone else’s review is a load of crap! I’ve never left a review but felt the need to warn others to shop elsewhere! Wasted my $20 for nothing!.Version: 1.2.1
✓ Suzuki not foundNo.Version: 1.6.2
✓ Does not workI had to pay 15 bucks to see if it would work with my car because they don't allow you to try it first. I does not work with my Mercedes EQA 350. I have requested a full refund and the response is pure silence... Really immoral company. Will never buy anything from them again..Version: 1.7.0
✓ SubscriptionIt said cancel anytime but for the life of me I can’t find where to cancel. My car will not sync so this app does me no good. I sent an email to the company last week but still have heard back. How in the world can I cancel this useless subscription?.Version: 1.7.0
✓ DONT BUYIf I could I’d put a zero star. I just downloaded this app and paid the subscription because the app said my vehicle was compatible I paid the full year and now it’s telling me to pay the subscription at jeep to be able to work if I can just use jeep why would I need your app that makes absolutely no sense so I paid $50 for you to tell me to use jeep I want a refund immediately or I’ll report your app. Guys please don’t use this app the 5 start ratings are probably bots because who designs an app that just tells you to subscribe to another app just tell me it’s not compatible and that’s it no harm no foul but your app makes you think it’s all good and when you pay the app says something totally different.Version: 1.7.0
