Remote for Tesla for Negative User Reviews
✓ Useless with apple watchThe main reason I got this app is too open frunk/trunk via hey siri command on my apple watch with my phone in my pocket (hands free trunk and frunk opening?) ... but all I get is "use the app"... through phone it has no issues and it opens closes whatever I want, which I could do using free tesla app, but through apple watch it just keep asking me to use the app instead.. useless.. oh and that UI.. nightmare, really confusing UI and complicated and small even on my iphone xs max buttons are small and a bit hard to press with big fingers... should've read reviews before wasting $10.. ..I just need to get my money back and I'll be happy again.. unless developer is willing to make changes and make apple watch app useful so people don't get frustrated and overreact :) I'm a QA and Tesla fan, own two Model S's. If developer needs my service I'll be happy to QA the app for free.Version: 3.5.5
✓ Great but...Doesnt work with watch os 2.1.Version: 2.0
✓ Useless for meI bought it so I can automate summon which doesn’t work. Without it, the original TESLA app is even better..Version: 4.4.1
✓ Iwatch doesn’t work well.The functions do not respond to the car. Not reliable..Version: 4.4.4
✓ App out of dateHi, Can you please update this app. It’s been 7 months since this app was updated. The app is buggy and when I use summon it doesn’t work sometimes. I have to use it multiple times until it starts working. If this app is not updated I will have to request for a full refund as the app is not functioning due to it being out of date. For the price of this app, it should be updated monthly at least..Version: 4.8.1
✓ Don’t waste your moneyNo worth $14 for this app.Version: 4.0.1
✓ Functional but baffling interfaceThere's plenty of feature support but the UI is utterly baffling and poorly thought out. I end up tapping everywhere randomly to get to certain features..Version: 3.2
✓ Not intuitive but unique featuresI keep having to resort to the manual (web page) to locate info on where to find what because the hot spots to items are in odd places on the screen which are not necessarily related to the items desired. For example: Tapping the Inside Vehicle Temp indication pulls up the roof vent controls (not the cabin temp controls- those are elsewhere) Tapping on the Charge Rate indication pulls up the Charge Limit Slider (logical) but also the Driver Temp Zone Slider & Passenger Temp Zone Slider. Of course the cabin temp controls are located in a completely different section which control the same thing as the Driver Temp Zone Slider. There is a multiple trip calc/tracker available. I end up fiddling with the menus in or off to get that to finally open but can’t remember how to show/hide/on/off/delete/save any of that without another trip to the manual so just forget it. The watch app is the most useful for me. Much more intuitive (no manual needed however not as robust. I turn on the hvac with a long press and a tap. Done. Use it quite often in the winter..Version: 3.4.3
✓ How to setup PreheatHello i just bought your software. Can you tell me how I can setup pre-heat so that when I am ready to goto work the car is starting to heat up 30mins or an hour before ?.Version: 4.3.0
✓ Contains AdsI just purchased this app for $15. Nowhere does it state that there are ads included. I tapped on the Remotes button at the top and there are ads in the app! At the top, constantly flashing at me, and at the bottom of the page! Please remove these! A purchased app should NEVER have ads in it, that is super greedy! I get that they are in a website that is external to the app but it’s a website owned by yourself, and the ads are designed to be shown in your app, you’ve clearly thought about this before you implemented it! Extremely unimpressed with that attitude of making money, it’s super cheeky!.Version: 4.3.1
✓ Doesn’t work for heated seatsGives an error when using Siri Shortcuts via this app to turn on my model 3 heated seats. Literally the reason I bought this app..Version: 4.3.1
✓ Almost worksWell, to start with I have to say that the UX is probably among the worst of apps I’ve ever used. This app needs a serious and thorough makeover. What I bought this app mainly to get the Siri shortcuts support. Unfortunately I’ve found them to be practically useless. To make them work I first have to launch the regular Tesla app, wait for my car to wake up and then use the siri shortcuts. If I try to use the shortcuts before the car has been woken up it just errors out and tells me to try again or try from the app. Not sure if I’m doing something wrong. I have a Model 3 if that matters..Version: 3.5.5
✓ No longer supported.It seems this app is no longer supported. Crashes on launch on iOS 15 and the dev has had long enough to put out a fix now. Avoid, especially at the price!.Version: 4.6.2
✓ Could be good, but isn’t right nowI’m reasonably tech savvy and whilst I could tell from other reviews that this was a little complicated to get the hang of I was confident I’d get the hang of it pretty quickly. Sadly after several months I’ve given up. Just can’t get into it, the interface is fairly amateurish and definitely not intuitive. Voice commands via Siri generally don’t work. “Hey Siri, unlock charge port” was one of the things I thought would be really helpful for me. I just end up looking like a tool when I try it and inevitably end up tugging on the cable to no avail and end up having to pull my phone out, open my Tesla app and do it the old fashioned way! I won’t delete the app (paid too much to do that!) and I will check back in every couple of months in the hope that one day it will get a serious overhaul..Version: 4.6.2
✓ Poor UX very little new featuresThis app desperately needs a user experience update as it’s a very cluttered view and I accidentally hit commands all the time. Also it doesn’t add much if any new functionality over the free Tesla app..Version: 3.4.0
✓ Did not workI used Shortcuts app and Siri to implement start climate control. When tested I get an error from Remote S!.Version: 3.5.5
✓ Fails to open carWanted to open car with watch after surfing but most times won’t work.Version: 4.4.4
✓ Needs updates - no new featuresNeeds updates, completely outdated both in UI and features..Version: 3.5.5
✓ Apple Watch app is buggyThis app is pretty good, second only to Stats, and has a lot of cool capabilities that makes me suggest that you purchase both it and Stats. However, the Apple Watch app is buggy and hangs. I have an iPhone XS and an Apple Watch 5, and even when the iPhone app is freely communicating with the car, the Watch app will freeze up solid between screens. Given I am using the largest, most powerful Watch Apple sells as of this writing, I don’t think this is an issue with resources. I have tried force quits and restarts, and always get the hang eventually. I hope this gets fixed soon, as a good complication for controlling and checking on my car would be fantastic..Version: 4.3.1
✓ Would be great to have instructionsSeems to work faster than the Tesla app. But is puzzling as the many features are not explained. A link to a demo video would be perfect..Version: 3.4.3
✓ Not worth £10!Bit disappointed I got sucked in by this. It’s not a bad app just not worth £10! 70% of what Is needed is fine with the main Tesla app so if I could delete and get a refund, I would. Very fiddly too. Would have paid 99p happily!.Version: 3.4.4
✓ Cannot use with SiriI cannot figure out how to speak to Siri to get the Siri commands to work and it is not documented. Need an example like “Hey Siri honk horn in Tesla Remote” but that exact examples does not work..Version: 4.3.1
✓ Tesla Remote (iWatch))I picked up an iWatch recently and researched Apps that would work for my Tesla Model3 Long Range (Performance UPgrade) in the UK. In particular, I wanted to unlock/lock etc via the watch and also using Siri. Unfortunately, there is huge time delay in giving instructions via the App on the watch and execution, which makes it impractical. Siri simply tells me the “Shortcuts App” is not available on the iWatch, which appears to be a prerequisite for it to function. I’d love to report this App has need effective and fun but honestly can only share my disappointment. Not worth the £20 spent (June 2020) for me although the iPhone App is interesting but the Tesla App is plenty functional and FOC..Version: 4.4.4
✓ Good but....The app doesn't stay running in the background as expected. I always leave it running and open in the background, but half the time when I click on it to check it, I get nothing but a grey screen and I have to manually close the app and relaunch it. When it works, the phone app is great, and great when used via voice through Siri. Needs big improvement on the watch part of the app though. Doesn't work most of the time and takes too long to refresh to make it a practical use. Siri is a no go on the watch to use the app. Exact opposite of when you use the phone..Version: 4.0.1
✓ Limited functionalityThis app repeats what the Tesla App does and very little more. No analysis of past journeys. And tracking only works if the app is on - doesn’t work in background. Very disappointed..Version: 4.5.1
✓ Not badNot a bad app. It crashes and when you come back too it from a lock screen it has a blank screen some of the time. I do enjoy the bread crumbs it leave for tracking. It gives speed and data. Might be useful if the laser radar is saying something different..Version: 2.0
✓ Summon NEVER worked!This app does present all the relevant data on one screen which is useful, but the main reason for this purchase was the summon feature and not needing to be beside the car with the key fob in range. This has never worked. I have tried multiple times with the key in range and without, and always get an error, or lately after upgrade nothing. The tesla logo sometimes won't go solid, and even when it does still nothing. I always end up using the Tesla app to summon. Please fix..Version: 3.3.2
✓ Slower than using the Tesla appI bought this app in hopes that it would save me a bunch of button tapping and menus to just open my front trunk, which I do all the time. I chose this app since it was well reviewed and offered Apple watch capabilities. The design of the app and usage is great when it works, but often times I find the connection slow and laggy to the point that I'm better off just pulling out my phone and opening the Tesla app. When trying to use the watch functions there's almost always a tremendous delay from the instruction from my watch until the actual function of the car. For example, I press open front trunk on my watch. Nothing happens. I wait a minute, nothing happens. I pull out my phone, open the front trunk with my Tesla app, put my stuff in and close it, get into my car start to drive and then my front trunk opens. Now I have to get out of my car, close my front trunk and get back in and start driving again. And God forbid I multi tap the button while it's not opening the first time, those instructions will all go through later so I have to stand there and wait for the 3 times it'll unlock my front trunk. Overall I wanted to like the app and have given it a bunch of tries, but really I just wish I returned the app soon enough to get my money back..Version: 4.6.2
✓ Summon doesn’t appear to workThe main reason for my purchase was to get the summon function however it doesn’t seem to work.Version: 4.6.2
✓ Worked well for a while… then it wouldn’t start the carGot the app so that I could operate my Tesla using only my Apple Watch. For a while it worked very well such that I no longer had to bring my phone or car key with me. That is, until recently. The operation of the app started to get MUCH slower, so slow that I would need to wait 3-5min for the car to unlock after I gave the instruction (via iPhone shortcuts). The biggest problem is that now the app completely fails to start the car. So no more keyless driving using this app, which renders it almost useless for my intent and purposes..Version: 4.6.2
✓ RubbishDoesn’t offer half the feature of teala app and doesn’t offer summon at all!!.Version: 4.2.1
✓ Good idea...Good idea but most of the time the Siri says “there is the problems with an app” Only when you have hand full of things.Version: 4.4.5
✓ Used to work but doesn’t support next-gen Tesla authenticationTesla recently changed access to their API and that’s rolling out to everyone in the next little while. Now to login you need to use OIDC or something similar, and to access your car’s remote controls and such you need to install a software key on the car so communications are end to end encrypted, otherwise no remote commands. Tessie figured this out and that app works for me, but this app quit working altogether and most likely it will quit for everyone soon enough..Version: 5.0.2
✓ Lock unlock w apple watch series 3 LTE does not functionI got this app specifically for the lock/unlock feature using the apple watch series 3 with LTE to use when the watch is untethered to mi iphone. In spite of reading developer notes on this issue the feature simply will not function reliably on my untethered apple watch. Frustrated. Spent $10 for nothing. Apple watch appears unable to remain connected to app/car and is intermittent in function. When it does connect untethered it is very very slow to respond to commands. I want to like this. Hoping for better Apple watch series 3 untethered capability..Version: 3.4.6
✓ It’s a mapI cannot fathom why an app which is meant to allow greater control over your Tesla than the official app gives almost all its screen space to a map! Why?? The interface is dated and confusing and the help is useless. Giving it two stars for the IOS shortcut integration..Version: 4.4.4
✓ Just use the tesla appThe promise of an Apple Watch app for opening the doors on the model 3 convinced me to give the app a try. So far both the phone and the watch apps have been very unreliable in opening the doors. The app advertises faster startup times than the Tesla app but I don’t see that in practice. The apps UI is frankly terrible. Nothing is obvious about where the functions are. Many features are buried in a sea of tiny buttons. Many other features are also in the Tesla app such as notifications when supercharging is complete. The camping mode for the climate system might be useful. Don’t think I will ever use this app..Version: 3.4.3
✓ Drains the battery and very few featuresVery limited features especially for the SR+ model3 Since I have used it I have noticed a rise in phantom drainage Lost almost 10 Km overnight yesterday I will monitor for few days before hitting the delete button The 4 Siri commands available for the SR+ are not worth keeping it.. this if they work Regret buying it:(.Version: 4.2.1
✓ Need button for unlocking charging portUnlocking charging port button seems to only show up when charging is complete. This is not typical use case for me. I typically cannot charge to the set limit at work or on the road due to time constraint. After I stop charging, I need to see button unlock port and use it. Now I only see start charge button. I appreciate having all controls and useful map info in one screen. But this deficiency actually kills the purpose of this app to me as I need to go back to use the official app. Please fix it..Version: 4.2.1
✓ Rip offI feel totally ripped off. The app is expensive, eats your battery, and offers nothing over the Tesla app..Version: 3.5.5
✓ RubbishVery poor and extremely expensive🤬.Version: 4.6.2
