Ford SYNC® Destinations

The concept of the app is good, but there is a lot of room for improvement from a technology standpoint. One of the most glaring oversights is the fact that you cannot copy and paste into the address where you are trying to go. You will have to manually type it in each time. If the developers spend some more time improving this app I could rate it higher.

I find it interesting that once an app successfully connects via Bluetooth, I can close the sync app and the other app will keep running. Sounds like Ford could have just scrapped the app, at least for Android users and added direct functionality. It's hit or miss on if the app ever let's other apps be read. And it's usually miss. In 2016, I'd expect Bluetooth access to be baseline, not the faulty "product" of some inconsistent application

I purchased a new Ford vehicle with MyFord Touch and Sync services; upon trying to login to the app using my Ford Owner credentials I keep getting an error message stating the information I entered is incorrect. Though the credentials work just fine when accessing the full web page via a computer rather than a mobile device. Not sure why one works and not the other. Unfortunately the app is useless at the moment until the problem is resolved.

The process of sending a destination to SYNC has a lot of steps and transfer is slow. It needs to make a phone call to send the destination to SYNC. Would be better if it used Bluetooth. There is no paste so I can't copy an address from Google maps and paste. Can't send directly from Google maps either.

Ford wants $60 to use services my phone already provides through android auto. I want to use the screen in mycar for whatever I want not having to use sync services. The entertainment system is already crippled by the sync system. This is the only downside of my Ford focus.

DRAINS BATTERY! Tried it for the first time on a route I know well. It took me to a road that has been closed to the public for two years. If this happened while trying to find a location I was unfamiliar with, I would be upset. Otherwise, it works as advertised.

Send to sync no longer works. Has worked perfectly since 2013, now longer accepts my user name or password. Tried to re-register but will not accept changes or even a new user or new password. DELETED until an alternative app is available.

I had an older version of this app that worked great. This version is broken. I continually get the error that the app can't determine my location. All my othet apps have no problem. When i touch the find a dealer button it shows every dealer near my location. How can it do that when I open the app it says it can't determine my location? ?? I really love my Navigation system on my Explorer. It would be nice if I could pre enter saved points when I'm traveling. Its safer and really convenient. Please fix

I don't like that I can't manage alerts from the application. I do quite a bit of driving every day and I can only manage my routes alert from a computer. Should be able to do that from app, as well. Also, traffic alerts are not always accurate. Many times it tells me that there are no incidents, only to find myself stuck in traffic, whereas if I check Google Maps, the incidents are in there. What's the point of having a service that's delayed or not even accurate?

With the latest update I cannot login using the app. I can login to the MyFord website just fine. But the app thinks my login info is incorrect. So for now this is useless.

Absolute joke. Once I paid for the service and opened the app it said I needed to login. Did, but then was told I had an owner account, but not a sync subscription (which I did) tried over and over but kept getting the same message. Initiated a chat with sync support and was told I could use Google or Map Quest instead. Good answer. The app and ALL the features, not just directions, are a selling point for the service. Ended up frustrated, wasting time, and canceling. Don't waste your time and energy.

Continuously states sync is Not active, so I activated. The said sync not active and to login. Login, takes me to web site to learn more about sync. Useless

The sole reason I downloaded the app was to allow my passenger to set the destination because the nav voice recognition is horrible. The app locks you out if your car is in motion. Last Ford I'll ever buy. Suckered me into an expensive infotainment system that is worse than a cheap aftermarket radio and a garmin.

Requires Sync Services to use anything. Then when you try to sign up for that, it tries to activate, and nothing happens. Great job Ford, you really nailed this one.

Keeps saying I've gone off course. Does not work lately. Not sure what happened but it can't determine my location or something isn't updating. .. i cant use this anymore. help! !!

$60 per year for very little usefulness. You have to call a number while in your car to 'download' the destination. That's the only service you get for your money.

I'd rather use the app over the hands free option any day! I love this app and how it simplifies the act of getting directions from Sync (the app has NOTHING to do with the fee that Sync charges, so I don't get why people are down rating for that?)

i have to sign in to access, when i click navigation it tells me i have to have a subscription, click the 'take me there' link and it has me sign in again, then has nothing about any kind of subscription...app is pretty much useless.

If you look something up and it's not what you thought. You are stuck with it in your previous destinations. FOREVER! There is no way to delete a previous destination, a saved "favorite" is no problem to remove but you can't remove the junk.

This is less than useful. My wife tried to use this to set up a destination while I was driving. It thought it knew better and blocked her as it detected that the phone was moving.

Bought a 2012 F150 & was told by Ford this was the app I was searching. It wasn't. I'm going to give it a try. Used the app after $60 payment. Everytime I needed new directions, it would ask me to verbally confirm the request. Used my phone to update, so I had to end my calls & satellite music enjoyment for app to use my cell service & radio speakers to work. Get a GPS from store, update your cell to show info & delete this bad app & redundant pay for use service. Bad Ford! Bad app! No soup for you!

Username/password combination didn't work. Changed my password, temporary worked but I have to sign into ford owner, Ford owner requires to set new password. Did that, app asks me to log in and tells me username /password combination is incorrect. I know I didn't forget my password after 5 seconds... Not working.

Kept telling me I wasn't logged in, doesn't show in option window when you press hyper links of addresses. And endless loops of logins.

The developers have no concept that you can have two people in the same car. They have disabled the ability to login while driving. Oh, you can reset your password and what not, just can't actually login. Thanks for wasting my time. Im going to use google maps instead of the 1,100 dollar navigation option on my 2 year old vehicle. Signed, the navigator.

Unless you pay for all the perks on all accounts for your SYNC with ALL the accounts, about 3 diff accounts, then you are limited to only 3 functions on this app: Vehicle Finder, Roadside Assistance & Find a Dealer. Not sure if its worth paying for a SYNC account aside from what I already pay for the vehicle itself when my phone has pretty much the rest of the app settings as standard

Not a bad app. Definitely needs to update maps to show current roads and to integrate better real-time traffic.

Not free. Don't waste your time.

I can't see paying for the SYNC service when almost every feature can be found in other free apps.

Type in a search and nothing comes up. Try it in Google maps and it finds it fine. You can't even paste addresses into this excuse for an app. I wish there was another way to send address to the car.

Have had this for my car for 3 years now, never had a problem. ..but since the last update, it has yet to take me to the correct address! What happened? So now I use my Garmin instead of this! Wasted $60.00

Please add the option to be able to share addresses with this app. For example a long press on an address gives the option to share with multiple apps, but not this one. That way an address for a webpage, email, SMS, other map program can be shared directly to this app, then sent to the car.

Hooking my phone up to a Bluetooth earpiece is 1000 times better than hooking my phone up to a Ford.

Ford seems woethlessly out of touch for modern needs. There was Ann article from 2010 starting integration with Google maps via destinations... Which they have removed so you have the privilege to pay to use poor software.

I use the app to send addresses to my vehicle. I dislike that an address can't be pasted into the app. I have to enter each section of the address in a separate field. This is as bad as SYNC itself. Catch up with technology and parse the address for us! #feature enhancement

Having to use it now that "Send To Car" app no longer works. I ask that Destinations writers make it so that when I share an address on the Google or Mapquest app, that I can "send it" Destinations; rather than forcing me to retype the address into the app

So ridiculous won't allow you to use maps and route guidance unless you pay the $60 yearly fee, RIP OFF

Ho-hum. I see that INRIX is listed as the publisher. Too bad that this app isn't as capable as other apps from INRIX. The biggest thing that SUCKS about this app is that if you are trying to route yourself to a distant place, it cannot be found. There doesn't seem to be a way to find by business name other than the immediate area. I guess by address works, but that's so 1990.

This app is as outdated as taxi drivers are. I can use my phone and get better directions for free. Ford, if you want people to enjoy this then you need to make it free otherwise just get rid of it.

I understand paying for a standalone GPS or a cell phone, but why would I pay a hefty subscription just to get spoken GPS guidance when my phone can do that free with Google Maps or Waze and send it through the speakers through bluetooth.
