Counterintuitive interface with very few useful features. The few features that do work (remote start, climate control) only work sporadically. There is no way to specifically disable notifications for ads (I don't want SiriusXM and I never will). There also doesn't appear to be an option for biometric login. With how often this app logs you out, it would be nice to log back in with biometrics instead of username/PW/PIN. Also the password system uses outdated PW requirements.

Remote start worked sporadically since I bought a new Atlas with the SE with Tech trim 3 weeks ago to have remote start. Had it in the shop this weekend and they couldn't figure it out. App updated and now I don't even have the remote start, door lock/ unlock buttons in the App. My husband's iPhone app also updated and he can still do remote start, door lock/ unlock. Car Net doesn't know why I don't have those buttons anymore in the app.

Doesn't update timely. Often shows inaccurate data for car location and car doors unlocked. Update! While driving with my son, I got an alert that car went over set speed of 97 (it's set for 60) and drove 102mph for 14 seconds. Had I not been in the car with my son and he was driving alone, his driving days would be over! Thankfully, I was in the car with him and knew first hand it was WRONG!!! PARENTS BEWARE. Thankfully, we also 360 app that showed actual correct speed. UNRELIABLE APP!!!
