User Reviews

Reviews repeatedly note that the app can be great when it works, offering watch integration and extra controls. However, Tesla API changes frequently break remote commands, and the developer’s updates and support are slow or lacking. Users report crashes, login issues, and poor reliability, plus questions about value for the $25 price due to refund difficulties and inconsistent compatibility. Overall, strong potential when functioning, but reliability and maintenance are major drawbacks.
Pros
  • Adds features not in the official Tesla app, including Apple Watch integration
  • When functional, offers a richer set of remote controls beyond basic status
  • Provides access to car status and performance data (stats) you can’t get from the Tesla app
Cons
  • Tesla API changes render remote commands unusable, leaving the app mostly read-only
  • Poor maintenance and slow or no updates from the developer; limited or no support
  • Frequent reliability issues (crashes, sign-in/out problems, unstable connections)
  • Not consistently compatible with newer Tesla models or API security changes
  • Paid $25 with refunds often perceived as unavailable or not worth the trouble

I just purchased this app yesterday (5/28/2026). This app does not seem to work as it does not seem to be linked to the Tesla app. Unfortunately, support does not respond to my emails. I would like my money back at this point.

I’m extremely disappointed in this application, I paid the full $25 for it and then connected successfully to my car. I can do read only functions like see stats of the car but anytime I issue a command to it like to honk the horn, flash the headlights or activate home link, which is why I bought it, nothing happens. I did a pretty deep investigation and found out that it’s because of the Tesla API change, but it looks like the author hasn’t updated this in a long time and it no longer works for pushing commands to the car, so it doesn’t work and they know it, but they’re still selling it for $25 and advertising that it still works for all the push commands

I bought this app so that way I would stop having to pay for a Tessie subscription to have the ability to do keyless driving with my older S. But this app doesn’t work. The Tessie app has no issue with remote start :(.
