TomTom VIO for Android
Updated the app & experienced problems. App on the android mob takes ages to load just kept showing loading & nothing happened. I then had to delete and reinstall a few times for it to work. But it worked 1ce then stopped had to delete again and reinstall a few times. Now working fine so far so good. This little sat nav is a good investment. The only let down is the battery life you have to charge it every day other wise good luck getting to your final destination.
Love the update. It has given me and my Vio access either with or without Internet. It used to be with Internet only and I hated it, rendering my Vio useless. It should have been like this from the start because I paid 180€ for my Vio and now I can say ITS WORTH IT! Now I love my Scooter even more. Thanks Tomtom Team. GOOD JOB.
Complete waste of time and money problems with loading app ie every time i open it i have to reload complete app and maps had my vio over a year and never been able to use it no help to be found anywhere ,
Joke ,it sends you down country roads and lanes when it's quicker and better to stay on the main road.last week it told me to turn left while on A road went 25minutes through little villages country lanes and ended up back on the A road I was on.DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY
I love it i use it on my scooter and it serves me well i can safely drive from a to b and was easy to instal no problems at al with the vio
Would be 5 stars but ETA isn't much use without current time and remaining distance would also be a real bonus.
Everytime i want to Open VIO it doesnt open...i habe to re-imstall it...i Can't trust it anymore...
100% satisfaction guaranteed. Clear screen, accurate position. Highly recommended.
Brill bit of kit
not really used it much so far, but the times i have its been fine. tends to take you the really minor routes if you set it to avoid main roads and motorways- I ride a motorbike rather than scooter so I sometimes want to open it up on a main road which it avoids. round town it's and i can see it being really good for scooter riders and is great as an A-Z. I can see it being useful for commuter riders with the traffic updates. Nice and small so i can keep it in my bike jeans when I'm parked up.
Infuriating voice commands as every one is truncated then the last part is added to the beginning of the next command. For example, 'turn left onto the a999 towards Bir'. Then the next command starts with the rest of that sentence like, '...mingham. Then take the B1234 towards Lon.....' Pretty crap really.
After I bought it it connected up fine after 24hrs the app wouldn't connect to the internet horrible experience all in wouldn't consider it a sat nav better off using my mobile and Google maps
I have to say that this satnav is very poor in finding biking hot spots I have to look on google earth and when you type in a place name like Bala lakes it said not found
This is a really usefull app for me, there are a few problems as the app likes to connect to the internet soemtimes to start
I use Vio in the car for the daily commute. Great fastest route around traffic!
Great app, just bit slow device.
Shite
But it uses a lot of battery from my phone. Only lasts 4 hours on a fully charged Note 4.
The GPS keeps loosing connection with the app / phone. Didn't happen before. Kinda lets you down at the worst possible times...
It started well and suddenly could not make the connection with internet (wifi) anymore. Because of that I am unable to use it again... Found no solution
Ideal tofor drviving in city.save time but also cost

Review 2 : seems to be fine at the moment although i did have to reinstall the app once as it didnt load. Been over Europe with this and it was good. Older review: Installed the VIO app on two phones today to get "internet connection error" the device had been rendered useless! Absoloutley fuming!!!!! Initial review - Seems good so far not run into crashes or freezes.
