BringGo AU & NZ for Android
Only purchased because of my link. No happy with this system. Time delay major concern
Works when it can find the right address. Every address we seem to input can never be found. POI seem to miss anything usefull. No good for tight roads with lots of turns seem to freak out and have to big of a delay. There is alot of room for improvement expecially when they have a powerfull phone as a platform. Auto zoom when approaching corners or destinations needs to be improved. Update: 1 year later still the same useless app. Not one update has addressed any issues. Also if update becomes available then no app on mylink. So u have to pull over update the stupid thing then it will work. Fix this issue please. Also any setting you change seems to reset back to default. Changed rating from 3 to 1 star. Waste of MONEY $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Since the last update, every time I load Bringo via my dash (gee I hate Holden for this) it crashes and I have to reload (it works the second time). That probably wouldn't worry me too much except I use this app up to 7 times a day and it takes a long time to load and I don't have time for that. I had an older version that was working reasonably well within reason - I knew that I shouldn't have updated....
I don't know why Holden would want to try reinventing a product that bigger, better companies have already done well. I get about a 50% hit rate in the addresses I search for - one of the many issues is that this app regularly confuses suburbs as separate cities.
The only reason I use this is because I cant change it in my Holden. I hate it enough it's my deciding factor in changing the car next year. For a nav system based on a phone with no traffic updates and an awful search engine it's only made that bit worse when it moves to infotainment. In car all searches default to AUS, no option to pick. PREMIUM price for 2 road updates a year when apple and google do all the above free and considerably better. Avoid this app at all costs
So far all good. Has some pronunciation problems. Have trouble signing in from phone. Other than that, will be getting full version soon.
Bringgo as fitted to my Colorado is the worst sat-nav device. From the occasional refusal to connect to my phone because, hey, the built in app in my phone suddenly, without warning, wants to update. Too bad you're out on the road already. Then, there's the weird directions it gives that are often quite ludicrous but I suppose you could meet new friends.. Then there's the desperate (at least not often) commands to "do a U-turn". Oh yeah, then there's the minute or so it takes to start up.
Paid 1.29 for the app, and get locked after one month. And force you to pay in order continue using the app.
Its a crap app that Holden put on a decent car. Not worth the money
I've used this app a few times and has taken me to the wrong adress . Not even anywhere near to where I want to go. It's a pity I had to pay for this to work in my car. Think I'll stick to google maps.
I hate dash board satnav systems, so Holden have not really given me any options but to buy the app and now google play do not allow me to buy it...
Even though I have paid for this app 3 months ago for the premium I've changed phones still a android the app won't work unless I pay again
Bought this app for nearly $80, now it's telling me the licence has expired and wants me to buy again? Can someone from Bringo help me out with that???
Rip off
Works really well in the Colorado, accurate and fast, simple to set up routes one off or keep as favourites and great features. No problems with GPS links.
Worst thing holden every did was using this app
came with Holden now wants me to pay for maps...crazy as it never finds a dresses and hey Google free!!!!!!
Upgrade just not fit for purpose
Robin Williams
Useless all address are in capital city names not suburbs. POIs are mostly incorrect. Pity Holden owners it'll get them lost quickly. Will be uninstall after this comment. Reloaded to look. Still a rip off. Would be a deal breaker for any GM product in Australia for me. If I could put minus stars it would be minus 5 for sure.
App stopped working the second time I used it. Hard to program and did not respond. Was really pleased i could have in car nav but after trying to make it work i would rather use my Gamin at least I know it will get me where I need to go.
The application is unusable again since the last upgrade today. This is the 2nd upgrade I have performed and the second failure. We are traveling and relying on bringo. We have good wifi access and it keeps downloading then unloads the software the fails to respond. 4 sets of logs have been sent and waiting on bringo support again. Dissappointed with repeat upgrade failures.
If your phone is flat/damaged/lost you will not have sat nav, in outback Australia it could cost a life. The directions are solid, but cant stop voice directions. I have silenced the voice guidance, but Bringo still interrupts the stereo, so now I get a 10 second silence, at least Google maps or a NavMan doesnt screw with the music. Aug 2016: Still have not fixed the voice guidance interupting the stereo, when voice guidance is muted. Absolutely the worst Navigation system I have ever used.
Simply the worst app I have ever used. Of any app! Maps are very slow to refresh, sometimes kilometres behind. I had the same map on my screen for three days! Location tracking does not exist. It is absolutely useless and for a company like Holden to be forcing new car buyers to use this is pathetic. There are much better options available. Chev US has Android Auto. Why is this not available in Australia? Why still push iPhone crap and not cater to android users Holden? I'm seeking a refund, from Holden!
The latest version 2.1.7 works perfectly with the latest 2016 Colorado / Samsung Galaxy A3 phone combination. Excellent App. Compare the cost of a high end GPS unit stuck on your windscreen plus the cost of updating their maps to the all up cost of $89 for Bringgo with free map updates and this is actually quite affordable.
Not in the class of Google Maps. General Motors Decision making process is truly corrupt and flawed as demonstrated by releasing this clunky horrible unreliable load of rubbish as a substitute for Sat Nav. Bringgo casts a light on how little General Motors value their relationship with their customers. Addresses are clunky to enter. Interface is the opposite of intuitive. They must have a test panel where if the panel members are able to use the app first go they developers go back and do a re-write to make things harder. Don't waste your money on this unless the full version comes down to less than $10.00. Spend the money on a TomTom or Navman. or use your phone and a windscreen mount. Multiple attempts to download premium maps. App always crashed. Truly Horrible
Its a life saver when i don't know the area. I have a samsung note mobile but the sound is not coming through clear is there any way to fix it. Or have i not clicked something.
Completely rubbish. Dont waste a cent on it gives you a short cheap period then have to pay big $$$ to continue to use. Would give zero stars if i could...
i brought this app because of Colorado 7. I'm selling Colorado 7 because this app. and i swear, ill never ever to buy a Holden because of this app!
Takes to long to load up. Also finding addresses can be a nightmare. Worst thing is I've already paid for it.
Why do we have to pay to download the app if we will only be aloud to use the app for 30day then we have to pay to keep useing the app that is wrong.
So far i haven't had any problems with this app and am not a fan of gps devices
Love it but suxs that you have to pay to try it. And that the full version cost so much.
Finds addresses well and places of interest using the web. Speed alert is good,would like to have speed cameras included in alerts.
You pay a small fee for 30 days. Then you need to pay $80 . Speed alert works after you select all
On trial version, time will tell.
This navigation software works well, the customization in the app is awesome!
Better than anything else i tried!!!
No issues working perfectly
