Drive Link for Android
App takes over phone when I plug into my car still trying to figure out how to play movies thru it in my car
This is locked down to only a few screens on my s3 .so no nav. While pandora is playing or any other multitasking for that matter..it doesn't even let ur phone leave the app menu so its pretty much worthless unless all u want to use is nav.
It crashes every time the phone is plugged into the radio. Then, a minute later, it loads on both the phone and radio. There are two nag screens. Pressing agree on the first one instantly crashes the app. If you hit "disagree" on the first one and "agree" on the second, it loads. It will work for awhile and either crash the app or reboot the phone. Needs: make it stable!, more customizable home screen, easily switch btwn nav and music, ffwd music, exit for full screen mode
Has not been updated in well over a year pushing 2 so it's safe to assume there's no more support or hopes of forward progress. That Stinks!! I guess it was good while it lasted....... F.Y.I. Not Compatible with Note 3. It installs but won't even open it just pushes an error msg.
This app is complete pants, how do you expect people to have confidence in Android Auto etc when you cant even fix issues with basic mirrorlink
Dear pioneer... i am going to be returning your mirrorlink for a refund... please understand you will not be receiving the powercable.. i am not removing the radio to get the cords.. sadly my unit must not have come with them.... your product is nonworking and it is apparent you are aware of this fact... you continue to sell a 30% effective product... 3 out of 10 have success.... that's being nice...
A lot of money. I bought the stereo first, thinking that dounds cool. Controlling your phone from the unit. But oh wait after installing tge unit I realized my phone wasn't compatible. So I went out and got the gs3 which the website said was compatible. But in order to get it to work, you need this app. And then I get this app, and I can't even usr the apps I have on this very expensive phone... you need to unblock the ability to add more apps to the shortcuts when linked... or at least a paid version...
Will not work on note 3 or s5. It worked on my last samsung galaxy s3 but now u get error message on newer phones. Whem will you fix the problem? Pretty lame, I was sold the radio based on the app too. Pretty scammy
I have been trying this for almost a year now, Waiting for upgrades, updates and anything else that might help. Updated the firmware on the Sony xav700hd, just upgraded the phone to GS4. still nothing works. What a waste of time and money. I don't think they will get this fixed in my life time. TOO BAD!
App forces shut down EVERY time I try to use it. It works when it's not connected to a car stereo but when I connect to my car stereo it shuts down immediately after the warning agreement. I see no way to resolve the problem and certainly no help from Samsung
Crashes and does not open after KitKat update on att GS4. Can someone fix this from Samsung instead of putting 100 gimmicky software things in their phones. News flash people have mirrorlink radios and would like to use it!
This software worked on my Galaxy SIII until I upgraded to Android 4.3. Now it just crashes. It's useless now. I purchased a car stereo and replaced the factory unit just to be able to use this app and now it doesn't work anymore. Be warned.

I down loaded this app 2 times but it won't even open on my Samsung galaxy s 4 active. Any one know of An app that will alow for mobile link with a pioneer ml-100
Samsung has dumbed this program down so much to keep you safe its ridiculous. I have sony xav 701hd and dl will disable your wireless bluetooth connection for safety reasons, also you cannot turn on the car radio if dl is operational, you can only stream music from a flash drive not from pandora. Please take the idiot proof chains off of this app and allow it to work with head units it was designed for. You cannot do anything other than dl if it is connected. It is a piece of junk.
If the program wasn't to limited it could potentially be a good app. I hope someone either fix's it or makes an app that can pick up where this one drops off.
I can't even get this app to open with my Galaxy S5. I click the icon and immediately get a pop up saying the app has stopped working. This is garbage don't even waste you're time downloading it. I wish I could give it no stars.
Could at least force it to sort of work before the kit - kat update. Now it force closes every time. On top of that, when making calls it opens this app and crashes it over and over automatically. Finally had to uninsrall it.
My iradar radar detector disconnects when using and the music player is stone age style. Also why limit to so few apps. Theres tech in the radio to know when your parked. Utilize it devs and take the crazy restrictions off. Its common sense. Id pay for this app if it had more going for it. Hopefully another dev makes something better
App constantly crashes and rarely recognizes device. If you have your phone plugged in it will connect and disconnect constantly. I bought my head unit for the MirrorLink technology. Looks like it could be great but this app is garbage. Nice try. Did a 5 year old write this app?

I would love to try and use this app but it won't even open! It crashes immediately after downloading the app. I wish I knew what it could do! The developer really needs to look into fixing these bugs! -samsung galaxy s5 owner-
Haven't been able to use this app since I got it... poorly done and they still haven't figured it out yet.
BUG: I plug in a USB cable from my laptop to my Note2 (to charge or sync or whatever) and DriveLink activates and hijacks my phone! And there is no way to shut the darned program down. Very frustrating! ...... well dispite that bug, this program works on 2015 Subaru Outback Premium and Samsung Note 2. Didn't work over bluetooth connection like Starlink. Requires a USB cable connection. In general, needs lots work.
App takes over phone when I plug into my car still trying to figure out how to play movies thru it in my car
I can install on S3 with Android 4.3, but NOT on S3 with Android 4.4.4????? That is just stupid!
It doesn't work with Kit-Kat. Period. It's likely not EVER going to work with kitkat as a matter of fact. They even whammy themselves with suggestions like "Before attempting to use the MirrorLink feature, be sure to update the software on your device to the latest version." Of course doing so will guarantee Drive Link will not function. They themselves give self defeating advise? That speaks volumes. They have written this one off as a lose. It has less than a 2 star rating and they are not going to be able to salvage it's image. That alone is assurance that it will see no further development. Then again, it was so terrible out of the box (Yes, I'm one of the FEW who's actually seen it function....) it wouldn't receive a much higher rating even if it ... worked for more people. I hope everyone on the Drive Link team is actively looking for new employment. There's no way they are keeping their jobs with this trash.
I can't believe I spent a hundred bucks on this system just to have an app screw everything up. Half the time the thing doesn't connect correctly leaving one of my screens frozen.
Don't work at all, bought the module for radio, junk don't work....don't do it!!! Keeps displaying UNFORTUNATELY DRIVE LINK HAS STOPPED, report it? NO, take that sh*# of the app store....frikn garbage
Works on 2015 Subaru Outback Premium and Samsung Note 2. Didn't work over bluetooth connection like Starlink. Did work with a USB cable connection. In general, still needs work but shows great potential.
Whats going on, I just downloaded it and checked the last update of this software and almost a year ago. No wonder it doesn't work on new phones. Come on if you want mirror link to be popular then make software that works.
This app worked great on my s4, I just upgraded to the note 4 and it force stops instantly
I wish this would work with my phone I have a Samsung note 3 I would love this app if it would just work with my phone. Please update this app
Crashes on start up. Last update was February 2013. Samsung clearly doesn't think it is worth their time. My Alpine car stereo has mirror link which would use this app.
will not work at all on note3 worked note2 why not note3 please update your app it is way behind it was not very good before but now wont work at all
When I first installed it every thing seemed fine. Three days later my Galaxy S4 Active upgraded to the Kit Kat version of Android and now it crashes every time I try to use it. I've sent messages but no one is responding to my concerns. I spent a $100.00 on the Mirrorlink device and it's useless.
I bought my JVC unit because it specifically said it worked with the Galaxy 3. Buried in the documentation it listed the specific model used and mine is not it!! I tried this crapware anyways and guess what it didn't work as advertised. My display never showed up on the head unit like it was supposed to, oh wait you need to use a 5 to 11 pin adapter cable because Samsung wants to be different! Ok I'll keep trying to use this app, oh wait now my phone gets a new version of Android & now it won't work at all!
I but this expensive radio for the functionality of having features in my car stereo interacting with my phone. What do I get? A POS app that crashes, never works, and I don't want to yank the stereo out so I'm stuck with it. I thought they would pay some attention to it someday but it is a neglected product. Read the reviews, don't buy sony, as this app will not work and just crash on you leaving frustrated and cursing the gods
Does not even begin to work. I would pay just to see the app designers fired and pelted with small rocks.

Program stops working when I try to use the mirrorlink. It used to work fine but since the new android update it has stopped working.
