I don't know what happened, maybe it has to do with the latest Android version, but the app keeps deleting my vehicle and asking me to enter the IMEI again. This is the same for my wife's phone as well, we both have Pixels. No update from Metro on the app side, please address and correct as I see others in the Reviews are having the same issue!

Just LEAVE this app alone! Great concept but horrible on electric & hybrid vehicles. Whenever car is under elect power, the device thinks it's being towed & a very LOUD alarm BLARES! The design flaw is it cannot be turned off in settings (strange) I contacted the app support, they weren't able to do anything.. God help u if u happen to have the phone on ur ear when it goes off!! Now I'm having to pair the dongle every day! 😒

I absolutely love metrosmart ride! So many benefits to installing one in your car. The only problem I have is with this app! The delay is crazy late! It just signed me out for the second time for some unknown reason only this time it won't let me sign back in. I can't even get in through the notification. So frustrating 😡.
