HondaLink for Pc

Finally updated for iPhone X! Early adopter problems I know lol. Its a good app that works most of the time. The issue I have is with the feedback from the car. The app is slow to update if it even updates the cars status at all. Example I remote start the car sometimes it shows its started and how long its got left to run other times it just gives me a thinking circle and doesn’t update. Additionally the run time remaining doesn’t have live updates (or timer), you have to refresh the screen to get the time to change. Finally I wish it would tell you how many times you can extend the remote start time. Instead it just gives an error if you have exceeded the run time. Also Honda whats up with the super short 10min run time, you can’t heat or cool a car that fast, extend the time or at least let users set their own run time. I will say that the send to car directions works great 9 out of 10 times that I have used it. One time it said it sent but never showed up on the car.

Version 3.4.3 downloaded on 3/2/18 to an iPhone 8 works great with my 2018 Clarity. Download and pairing w car was quick and easy even for this 63 year old Neanderthal. Features such as range estimates, battery/charge/status information, climate preconditioning, charging locations, scheduling, etc are working as expected and updating every time I open the app. Only the odometer reading seem slow in updating but eventually gives the correct reading. But really, the odometer doesn’t need to update frequently. Is your car going to go somewhere without you? I can stop/start/schedule charging, see the battery charge state, and get a time remaining for complete charge. App indicated 30% charge and dash gauge had 6 bars and at 70%, 15 bars. I can also schedule the climate preconditioning from my phone whenever I am out of range of the key fob as long as both car and phone can connect to Honda’s server. It appears that the Clarity is communicating by cellular data to Honda’s server and not by satellite or WiFi as some have speculated. Tested/proved this by parking under concrete parking garage where phone said there was no WiFi and I could still connect with Car when distant. I think the negative reviews were either because of old versions or attempted usage on older model Hondas. This app is really for the newer model Hondas. So, bottom line: All features working with no problems.

I just bought the new Clarity plug-in hybrid, and I like how this app shows the current charge status and range of the vehicle. It also allows me to start the climate pre-conditioning remotely. It's really clean and easy to use. However... It's frustrating that the charge status doesn't update anywhere close to real time. The page refreshes, but the charge status lags by as much as two hours sometimes when it's on my home outlet (120v), which is pretty useless. There's no way to get it to"force refresh" that I can tell. So far, there's also a missed opportunity here in that it could interface so much more with the infotainment system, allowing you to explore and change your settings, upload pictures and apps, etc., from anywhere. Feels like they rushed it out. Which is fine if there's a future version with more functionality planned. I only wish they'd share what the future plans are and when they plan to do more with it.

A welcome update to App, looks good . Glad you listen to your customers . Like than you now have assigned Dealers. Nice that you now have calendar integration. You are still missing the Apple Watch app which should be a no brainer when making apps as Apple Watch is very popular and convenient to use . Check out ViperSmart Start see what impressive stuff their App can do from the Apple Watch . WHY I’M NOT SEE TIRE PRESSURE FOR 2018 HONDA ACCORD TOURING 2.0 ??. Keep updating . Well done so far . Updated my ratings 4 stars NOTE: For those who are saying car locating option is miss it’s there when you swipe up, look at screen shots of the new app and you can see it . Previous review: If you are gonna make an app at lease make it do something. I have a 2017 CRV Touring and this app does nothing it's been stuck on the same info ever since i downloaded and connected to it . If i'm at home it says i'm at work , nothing works properly or even work at all . Honda you need to get a better app building team and good beta testers . All the other manufacturers apps are leaving you guys miles away in the dust . For the 2017 CRV Touring we should have remote start and GPS tracking from the app but then again what's the sense the app doesn't work . COME ON HONDA WAKE UP !! My entire family buy Honda, at least give us an app that does something.
