Bronco Trail App for Negative User Reviews

Road Closed AheadI downloaded this app after taking delivery of my 2023 Sasquatch package bronco base, I verify my email only to be welcomed to a message stating “Looks like your vehicle model is not supported at this time. We are adding more models and will message you when your vehicle is supported.” Kind of a bummer i cant even see what the features of the app are because the vehicle the app was developed for is not supported on the app..Version: 1.0.2

Doesn’t workApp doesn't works just crashes everytime I open app. All I get is a black screen and then the app closes itself. Uninstalled and reinstalled a dozen times. Can I give this app a 0 for not working at all?.Version: 1.0.3

App won’t openI can’t get my app to open. When I try to open it instantly shuts down.Version: 1.0.1

Does not workDownloaded this app and it got it running on my bronco. Loaded a trail map but the start button is greyed out. Not sure what to do?.Version: 1.0.2

UnreliableJust today I tried using the app to monitor tire pressure while airing down. The app decided to log me out and I could not sign in since I didn’t have cell service, which is the usual case when airing down. Note: this is using the latest version that claims to have solved the log out issues..Version: 1.0.4

Will not connect to CarPlay.All I get is applink error. Connection not detected. I have tried all the fixes mentioned and none work..Version: 1.0.2

ImprovedMaps are downloading without difficulty now, and integration with Apple CarPlay proceeded to work. This will be powerful tool in the middle of nowhere. I’m looking forward to using out west soon. I seems a bit ridiculous that one must sign in to the app from time to time. If you’re away from cell service and you happen to be signed out, then the app would be rendered useless..Version: 1.0.2

Unnecessary gate keepingWhy is this app only supported on high end trims with sync 4? Please update to include sync 3 functionality and Bronco Sport Badlands. Not everyone needs trail cams or live data on the screen. Just need a good app to find trails and run them. Guess onX off-road will kee my subscription another year..Version: 1.0.1

Waste of timePoorly though out extremely poorly executed. this POS app does NOT work, dont waste your time..Version: 1.0.5

What good is an “offline” mapping program if have to log on to use it?I’m literally writing this from my hotel room in Moab. Excited to FINALLY have the downloaded map functionality so hyped when Bronco was launched. So, I downloaded all the trails and headed out to start Poison Spider a couple hours later and fired up the app only to be greeted with the log on screen. GUESS WHAT? No cell signal at the trailhead means you CANT LOG IN TO USE THE DOWNLOADED MAPS! Back to All Trails I suppose..Version: 1.0.1

Don’t be SportyBig boy Broncos only. If you have a Bronco Sport you’re not allowed in. It would be nice if I could still see the content..Version: 1.0.2

This has Potential But….This app has great potential…..BUT I can’t get it to connect through sync. I keep getting 'Error: Applink connection not detected'. I follow the limited instructions and just get caught in a loop between sync and CarPlay. I open it in one and then it tells me to open it in the other. I tried restarting my iPhone and turning off the Bronco many times and in different order but still no luck. I have checked the permissions in settings on both the phone and vehicle with no luck. I must be missing something. It’s just not straight forward with not enough info in help windows..Version: 1.0.2

Works better (new version)Clunky still.Version: 1.0.2

Crashes ConstantlyCrashes every time you launch the record feature. Wasn’t bug tested apparently..Version: 1.0.1

My 2021 badlands isn’t supported.I was excited to hear that Ford after 3 years finally released this app but after downloading it I found out that my ‘21 badlands isn’t supported.🙄🤦‍♂️ it would have been nice to use it during Bronco safari in Moab but it’s a no go..Version: 1.0.1

Ford FailedWorst app ever creates. There is NEVER a reliable connection to CarPlay/Bronco. Maps display is usually a big white screen. Too bad Ford couple buy an app the works, because they wasted a ton of cash on terrible coders. Where was the beta testing?!? Tech support has been unable to find a solution.Version: 1.0.3

Not working yetCompletely useless in Moab where there is no cell service at 90% of trail heads. If you restart app, you always have to re-login?! On top of the other issues I have read around just getting it to work in vehicle at all. Alpha Release!!.Version: 1.0.1

Good idea but needs work.It is nice having trail information and the ability to sync with your devices. It was difficult to get it working at first the directions to setup for the vehicle should be the first thing you are presented with. Having to log into the app every time you want to use it makes it clumsy. Adding weather updates and emergency contact information to the system would add a ton of usefulness..Version: 1.0.1

Trail failThe app works on my iphone, but won’t work in the Bronco. Keeps crashing and tell me to reconnect. What a fail. OnX has never let me done. I’ll just continue to use what works..Version: 1.0.1

UselessNo Canadian trails..Version: 1.0.1

Has potential but needs serious attention1. Lots of connectivity problems that are slowly improving. 2. Great potential, free but very basic when compared to competitors 3. Having the screen pop up telling me i have to unlock the app on my phone is dangerous and annoying. Stop nannying and let users determine the best way to utilize the app, very frustrating to be driving down the road and have it crash then not allow me to just restart it without stopping and looking at my phone. 4. The fact you cant get telemtry without recoding video on your own personal device is useless to people who use external cameras to film their trips. I use my phone for navigation and music, not recording my trips. 5. Being able to record the trail cameras would be AMAZING, that would make up for alot of the current shortfalls. 6. Open source the app/parts of the app? This doesnt get a lot of updates and doesnt have a lot of features. Oepn sourcing it to allow the community to help out would be awesome. Although im sure the SWE building this run into alot of corporate types that dont understand the beauty of open-source..Version: 1.0.3

Glad to have the app BUT buggyKeep working on it, design is good there are bugs.Version: 1.0.1

App doesn’t show up in the BRaptorI was able to hook it up in our Wildtrak and use it a little, but it doesn’t even show up in the Bronco Raptor we just got. No real help or instructions anywhere. Can you only use it with one Bronco?.Version: 1.0.3

What a difference an update makesMajor stuff works now. Recording works good no more crashing. Still can change map. Stuck always north And the satellite view needs to stay on. Or adjust the nanny to 30mph. It’s not a distraction please see Google maps car play…..Version: 1.0.2

No trails available in CanadaI live in northern Lanaudière surrounded by well established trails that are nowhere to be found in this app. Ford Canada/Québec should contact local sanctionning bodies and map out the country better if this app wants to be useful outside the US..Version: 1.0.1

Full of bugs (but also full of promise)I’d give it one star, except for the fact that the things it COULD do are amazing! After restarting my phone and car multiple times, it almost worked — but not quite. Recording causes instant crashes, or records only a couple of frames of data. I’m surprised the Trans Wisconsin Adventure Trail is not included, as well as several other trails which Gaia shows — perhaps Ford will add them later, but for now, this seems to be a “hopefully eventually integrated” app, whereas Gaia is fully functional. If you need it know, use Gaia — but hopefully someday Ford will get this working well! ☺️.Version: 1.0.1

Recording didn’t saveWhy does the app say recording saved to phone when nothing gets saved? Really disappointing experience..Version: 1.0.4

CrashesWas excited to use this, but it crashes when clicking the record button. Trail photos don’t load, and the maps won’t properly download to the phone for off-road use. This initial release is unusable..Version: 1.0.1

RubbishHeaping pile of rubbish, the connectivity dance is a joke. The need to access my camera, microphone, and entire photo library for a “off road” app smells like I’m the commodity. It’s clear that this shady product is more interested in harvesting data than helping me off road..Version: 1.0.5

Please fixIf you're going to require a signing every single time you open the app, could you please at least enable face ID?.Version: 1.0.1

Almost there - has potential!Not having the crashes or initial setup issues some folks are having, but once those are solved for everyone, this app needs Face ID support and/or some way to avoid having to log into the app when connected to CarPlay in the Bronco. Also, OHV areas ought to at least be points of interest on the map, even if they're not curated trails..Version: 1.0.1

Record Wings still need workUpdate: it seems like that app doesn’t leverage the camera stabilization for video as the recordings shake at every bounce. In addition, connecting to the Bronco proved difficult once again. I repeatedly received “This vehicle is not compatible” message. I have a 22 Wildtrak w/Lux. I had better recording with my phone on a mount w/o the trail app. I went on a full day ride last week and the recordings are a mess. I went through the setup and made sure I had the correct views needed. None of the recordings work out: data overlay was upside down (no orientation help when setting up the camera), other recordings completely froze partway through or recording a screenshot for 15-20mins. I use CarPlay wired to ensure a good connection and uninstalled/reinstalled before I started the day. Just disappointed.Version: 1.0.4

Logging in every time you launch appKeeps logging me out of app constantly have to re log in..Version: 1.0.1

Canada is uselessNothing for Canada trail wise, very disappointing.Version: 1.0.1

Not greatThere are many class VI roads and trails in NH and Maine but only 4 on the map. The trans NH trail would be a great one. The logging in and out of Ford pass is annoying. It doesn’t save my profile pic or nickname. Getting nit picky there. But after 12 attempts I got it to work with my Bronco. I really hope the bugs get fixed. I know its a work in process. My second Bronco just shipped with Sas so after a 2 year wait for the truck I guess I can wait a little longer for the app.Version: 1.0.1

This app reminds me of bidenomicsThis app is flawed in its conception. It’s an off-road mapping app which means it’s used in places that do not have Wi-Fi or cellular connection. The app requires continuous logging in and logging out. and then again, logging out and logging back in. These required continuous logging in and logging out procedures require a connection via Wi-Fi or cellular. So the app will work if you’re going shopping at the mall. However, if you’re planning on using this Bronco Trail App on off-road on trails, you had better have a back up application ready to go because it will require you to login and log out and login and log out and if you don’t have cellular connection, the app will not work. It has to login via cellular to know what vehicle you are driving. it will not remember what vehicle you’re driving from one stop to the next. if you’re a pavement, princess, or a mall crawler, this is the app for you. If you like to go on trails that are off-road, that’s not what this trail app was designed for..Version: 1.0.3

Does not work on my 2021 badlandsI have a 2021 badlands with no problems running other apps that have trail access on this vehicle. I was really disappointed to see the bronco and app both tell me my current model is not supported.Version: 1.0.2

Absurdly non-functionalCan’t get this application to work at all. Follow the astonishingly useless directions and you will descend into a doom loop of rediscovering mobile apps in Sync and launching the app from CarPlay only to repeatedly experience an error message: “Applink connection not detected” which then directs you to repeat what you just did to get there (obviously with the same result). Allowing all permissions for the app in iPhone settings doesn’t help. Deleting the app and re-adding doesn’t help. Deleting the phone from Sync and re-adding doesn’t help. Changing connection from Bluetooth to USB doesn’t help. What exactly does this AppLink message mean? From what I can tell Applink is related to Ford’s voice assistant. Not sure why that would have anything to do with the Trail app..Version: 1.0.3

BuggyWas looking forward to this but it is disappointing. Not many trails (hoping more get added). Crashes every time I try to record. Uses phone camera to record. Really? How about leveraging the front trail cam. I think I’ll stick to my GoPro.Version: 1.0.1

App crashes everytime you launch the record featureLots of bugs with the app so far. Happy they finally released the app though..Version: 1.0.1

JunkSoooo glitchy, similar to other Ford apps. Thumbnail pics don’t show up when you click on them. Freezes all the time. Hire better developers Ford..Version: 1.0.4
