Latest reviews of Mazda Mobile Start app for iPhone and iPad
I really wanted to like this app; unfortunately, I really dont. I live in central Canada, so I use command start for my car daily in the winter. I really wish I had just gotten a traditional two way remote command start. This app requires logging in with my password every time I want to use it - why cant I just stay logged in? The log in process takes 1-2 minutes. Then I have to provide a PIN # to actually start the car. Starting the car then takes another 1-2 minutes. I got suckered because I can actually start my car from anywhere in the world, which is cool. Guess what, I almost always start my car from inside my house or work, and this app is frustratingly slow and cumbersome. Id much rather push a button on a key fob and be done. Incredibly disappointing app. I fully regret getting it.
It does not work,it keeps saying communication error with vehicle. Ive had it at the dealership 3 times to be fixed. They fix it and a problem comes back. The limited time it does work it is very slow time consuming and unreliable.
There is no excuse to why this app has not been updated considering the cost and yearly subscription. Updated to use Touch ID.
I just got my 2016 CX-9 mobile start installed and it works great! As happy as I am that it works, Im not impressed with the app design and/or login screen. NEED TO ADD: - support for iPhone 6 / 6 Plus screen sizes - support for fingerprint scan login - better login page (currently dated) - carfinder should show vehicle location on a map too - more vehicle info like fuel level, TPMS readings, fuel economy, etc. - Send destinations to vehicles GPS - REMOTE START VIA VOICE COMMAND + Apple Watch integration.
For how much Mazda charges for the install and monthly service I expected more from the app. It takes way to long to log in and just has long every time one wants to do something to the car. I feel like I would use the remote start more if I had an old fashion remote on my keys. This can be slightly improved is the app lets you use Touch ID to log in.
