This app and the people around it used to be amazing a decade ago. Nowadays, they don't even care about providing support. It's very frustrating, not being able to open a ticket without it being automatically closed rightaway and me being referred to a Google form or other channels of contact - just to experience the same all over again...

I purchased the Full version with a lifetime license in 2023, but now, in 2026, the app only allows me to use the Lite version. Contacting support and opening a ticket did not resolve the issue. I also tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app, but the problem remains. Unfortunately, after paying for a lifetime license, losing access to the Full version is very disappointing. I would recommend avoiding this app.

We apologize it. Feature availability depends on brand, model, and year. We’re constantly working to improve it - check compatibility on our page. If your car is listed and not working, support can help via form: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdbsVwxBpn4LCQyhMRcX8T3Agvm5xG9x55aON1XlbmTshcksg/viewform . We hope to earn your trust back!

Wow, prepare to be screwed! This would not work properly on my Samsung S25 despite having to delete all my connections suggested by a troubleshooting Chat & you don't get access to a copy which is normal for most Chats 1 year on and I find a charge of £122 on my card. It seems you sign up to an auto renew which you have to request be cancelled at least 1 month prior. THEY DO NOT SEND OUT REMINDERS AND THEY REFUSE TO REFUND despite the app not connecting and so, in my case, not fit for purpose.

Our prices are based on an annual billing, and renewed if not canceled beforehand. Info displayed and confirmed by you at the time of purchase. Cancelation can be done on our web, with support or in the AppStore (if purchased there). We ask to be 1 month in advance, but we accept at any point before renewal. Thank you for writing this review!
