Pros and cons of Viper SmartStart app for iPhone and iPad

Viper SmartStart app good for

Great for everyday use! No remote start system comes close to a smartstart, you only need a cell phone coverage and your good. You can also get a bluetooth module installed so that it can be used at a "non-coverage area. Even at my cottages in Sutton and Riviere-Rouge I have absolutly no problem getting signal and starting the car. I would have gave it 5 stars but the new "redesign" they did for ios7 is just plain ideous!! The home screen is so ugly now, seems like a child drew the thing... Its a shame because its just an awesome app!!
The schedule doesnt work. Can you add a schedule to start the vehicle at a certain time
Im a cell customer, so cant comment on the Bluetooth - though I did look at it and seemed easy enough to add Bluetooth control so not sure where the complaints are from. Ultimately I can start my car and unlock it from my phone and watch. This is pretty convenient, when you remember. Not so useful last minute. If love to see: (1) 3D touch enabled for start, lock, and unlock. (2) Geo fencing features (3) Presets (eg to warm car at points in day) (4) IFTTT integration.
I almost didnt get this starter because of these reviews! Thankfully the installer is far smarter than the people reviewing this app. He has this version and showed me how it works and its simple! It tells you everything and you dont need to stare at the screen to see if it started...instead of whining about nothing, google it or go to your installer for a 30 second tutorial and see how ridiculous you are. Then come back and admit it seeing as you are so quick to chastise this developer for YOUR stupidity! It works flawlessly and is so simple to use my 12 yr old daughter starts my truck and then likes to give me status reports on if its running and that all the doors are locked etc :). Yup...a 12yr old!!
I was able to get it functioning by simply deleting the app and re-installing it... When I called Directed they had said they had a few other reports of it crashing, and were looking into it. So again just reinstall and sign back in and should work fine. Cheers.
The app works great and let lock and unlock from anywhere as well as start my beautiful Nissan Juke!!

Some bad moments

Ever since I downloaded the new update the app crashes every time I open it Useless to have the starter if I cant even use it
Its nice to start my car no matter how far away I am but the app crashes a lot and then it wont start. Just yesterday it told me( to bad you dont have smart start, you could start your car now) lol I have three years paid subscription. Wast of money so far but would be a good idea if it worked.
Every time I go to put my account information in the app crashes. I am new to this and I have an iPhone 6 and Im wondering if maybe thats why it isnt working. Please fix this.
For the price you guys are charging this app needs more work. Better notifications is a must ! Also runtime and cabin temperature would be nice added features.
I installed the App but never worked not even once. Waste of time what a failure.
App crashes every time I try to renew my account… No phone number on the website, no response to emails. Will not recommend. Will not buy again once this vehicle sold.
