Jaguar InControl Remote for Android
I honestly don't know what possible use this app has. The location is wrong - it claims my car never left the dealership, ever. Odometer at zero since forever. All other functions - or lack thereof - are negligible. Uninstalling as we speak.
When it works it's good. However more often than not it is painfully slow to connect to the car despite having a network signal. Also have to login every time as it never remembers my password etc
Despite other reviews I installed and have had no issues at all (Samsung S7). It works great, no issues finding car, unlocking locking, recording journeys etc only issue is the units on the app are in F and Km, but on the website it's in Celsius and miles....
Unreliable, needs restart too often, fails to retain login data, too slow to update. Not a Jaguar quality at all.
Love my car, but this app is so slow and chunky. Please please please please improve.
Far too slow to be really useful.
I'm happy to say the latest update is now compatible with my oneplus X. Pleased by the functions, even if overall the app sports a simple, workman like design. It does what I need it to though for peace of mind for vehicle security and keeping up to date with my milage capture. Connectivity hasn't failed me yet so no complaints there.
Keeps not connecting to the car, tried for ages to set the climate control and ended up having to go out and start it manually. Usually have to start the app several times to get it working. Also we were promised wearable compatibility this summer... Summer has gone and still no sign. Sort it out Jaguar
This app sucks! Jaguar should be ashamed of this app! It seems like some half ass developer made this app in his basement. It's truly terrible. Not sure how a company like Jaguar would do this. Nowadays apps tell alot about companies.
The app has a hard timing refreshing to give accurate up to the minute information on the status of the car. Wouldn't mind it if it did not interfere with starting the car or checking to see if I locked it or not. The way the app is at the moment, is useless. And that is a big understatement.
Why are so many people making such an issue over a remote start app. If it's true that the remote start really does not work, you have many legal options. In NY & NJ I believe the lemon law may cover it and they must fix. That said based on the replies I would bet more than 75% of the people who gave 1 star have a phone that is not compatible with the app. They need to fix the management screen in the car and very specific how to use it. A good step by step manual. If that app was tightened up then they could interface with it. The comments left all appear like poor setups of the app or incompatibilify with another one of your app. though surely
This app is very use full to check fuel lavel and to know if we want to lock and unlock car withoit key. We can trace location of the car as well we can see all the jouny history. There is few small problems i hope it will solve soon by jaguar. Biggest feature google maps in smart phones should be connected with car navigation system is missing.
The app is decent. What I won't like is that it is so slow. If I use it with my smart watch, process times are better. So slow to connect with mt F-pace. Sometimes I get to my car and the app is still attempting to connect. So much for having the car warmed up and ready to go. Wish the reports would allow download of fuel economy. I like tracking my MPG.
Like all the others, this app is generally useless. Doesn't work the vast majority of the time. I drive an hour away and it was still telling me my car was where I started the drive. Remote start almost never works.
This review is for App version R1.65.1 Pros: Nice thought, makes the car feel a little more modern Remote start usually works, eventually Nice to see where I parked sometimes, and how much gas is left, if i forgot to set the alarm etc. Cons: So slow! Often will show where I parked 1-2 days ago when I open the app. have to wait a few minutes (with a good connection, much longer with a poor one) or close and reopen the app, then wait a few minutes for it to find my car. no option to just "refresh" the view. 1/3 of the time remote start will fail due to some kind of network issue. alarm not set? too bad, can't set it remotely sunroof open? too bad, can't close it remotely car unlocked? ok we can at least lock the car Wish it did more stuff. open/close windows, sunroof, and rear hatch would all be useful. Really needs a speed boost, it shouldn't take 30-60 seconds for remote start or unlock. also not sure why I get a remote start option in the app, but not on my keyless entry overall it needs some work. speeding up the response time would be huge. if you could somehow sync it with your keyless entry to relay the signals that would resolve most of the issues.
I wanted to give it 2 stars initially as the remote start wasn't working. It used to give me the message that the window is opened although it was not. I noticed that the one-touch window operation was not working on the driver side (pressing the switch up fully and release should make the window rise until fully closed). So I decided to reset the window. Check window reset under maintenance section in the manual. The remote climate function started to work flawlessly. Update 08/02/2017 2 stars only. It is randomly successful at remote starting. Most of the time it says remote climate has stopped, an error has occurred, please try again later.
Does a decent job. Would be great if connectivity speed was improved. Nice addition would be to have the ability to close windows/sky roof remotely incase they were left open.
Very poor app. It doesn't work on my Sony Xperia smart phone. Have had it for over a week and tried it numerous times in various locations but I keep receiving a message saying it has failed to connect and cannot verify my login details. On a couple of occasions it has said their is no such account, but I know there is as I can see it on my laptop. The install screen on Google store says that the app is compatible with my device.
Excited when update came out as I have had nothing but troubles with this app but things went from buggy to not working at all.... dealer has been no help either. Jaguars digital integration is horrible. Expected more for what I paid for the car.
Experience like many other reviews. Just a clunky app which doesn't seem near finished. When the climate start works it's handy, but often requires restarting the app several times to sync. Occasionally it will state that the climate has failed, yet the car will start and be running. Could be much better.
This is horrible. Takes forever and after spending $90k on a car you would think they would have a better app. Remote start only works 10% of the time.
Always worked when needed, albeit infrequent. Latest update had issue with my valid email address but resolved by restarting phone and/or signing into account online to check account details.
This app worked fine...now after update simply says "can't connect to network"...not ideal. I used to LOVE being able to warm up my car (MN winters). :(
Most recent update 1/2017 has brought much better functionality. It still occasionally takes a long time to connect, but it works. Overall, pretty happy with it.
Needs an update ASAP — a redesign is long overdue. Users definitely don't get what payed for a premium brand like Jaguar.
Terrible execution. I love my car but this app is a terrible terrible accompaniment. If I was there salesman, I'd pretend it doesn't exist.
It's okay doesn't work on the fly. Which means I might have to restart the program a a couple of Times
Never in sync with the car and constantly have to log off and back on. Pile of excrement.
Followed Instructions for installation. After set up found the app working as promised climate control and start up works first time. No problems up to now.
Always network connectivity issues, no matter how good the signal strength. Terribly unreliable.
Would be an awesome app if it actually worked. Glitchy Crashes and rarely syncs
Its a version 1. app but is limited in terms of functionality. It needs to improve and the UI certainly needs an update.
Great when it works. But constantly have to re-sign in and takes an age to connect to car
Terrible app. As much as i like the car i hate this app.
App would be great if there wasn't such a huge delay.
Hopeless, almost never works first time, slow, repeatedly asks to login in, won't start the car most of the time.
Won't install on my tablet (incompatible) even though the tablet is connected via a mobile phone
Works for me: some latency but able to connect & control vehicle
Brilliant starting car from the bed in cold days

When it works it's great (which is less than 50% of the time). It keeps logging me out for no reason and often can't contact the car - telling me that it's unlocked when I can see from my window that everything is fine
