Works Great But in the world dose the red signal mean when shows full bars. And also this was alot better when it was connected to Google maps.bc at least you could get directions to your vehicle.it was great the 1st time. All it needs is geo-fence added. And let you know if the vehicle has been bumped into or if the doors are open instead of just going off, and you have to go out to the vehicle in order to know if it had been bumped into or if someone's inside & when can we use on samsung watches??

Good app have been using it for about 3 years on multiple vehicles. I wish there was an option to set a specific time that when used would send the signal to the car at that at point, so you can have it running say when you got up in the morning. Otherwise, solid app and barely any outages

Living in a northern climate, I really should have done more research prior to spending an ungodly amount of money on this starter. It hasn't registered my vehicle in over a week, the app completely grayed out, and my ticket to support has gone unanswered. Would not recommend.

This App worked great until it lost connection. Now for the last year I have been unable to use the app. When I contacted Customer service about it, they told me I had to take the car back to where I bought it, so they can connect it again. The place I bought my car is 5 hours away from me. I'm not driving that far to get this fixed. So I haven't been able to use the app to start my car in a year.
