Watchla For Tesla Customer Service

Watchla for Tesla Positive Reviews

Would be 5 stars but for one (literally) painful flawWatchla is great for using a smartwatch for Tesla tasks, like opening the trunk, when your hands are too full to reach your smartphone. BUT…it often takes too long to connect to Bluetooth, and I find myself hitting a command twice before it registers. Today, I hit “Open Trunk” twice. The trunk opened, and I leaned over to load groceries into the hatch. But suddenly the trunk lowered, with the edge of it hitting me high and hard on my forehead. So, my request of the deveioper is to ensure that a command doesn’t register twice when chosen twice in quick succession..JginflVersion: 3.4.2

WatchiaSo its very slow to react with the car. Takes a few seconds to think about it. Eventually will work. If you set your watch to have the watchia commands on your front screen they do not display. Even though it shows you can add them it fails to show on the screen. Be very cool if that works. I was hoping on the new update it would have corrected the problem as it does not. You have to search for the watch to find the app to make the commands. So if the speed was fast if the display actually worked and what you purchased actually gave you what you paid for it be a great app. I probably will be searching for something better and drop this one. I do not care to purchase apps and only get half promises. This is a half promised app..MyfsnVersion: 3.6.6

Gets better and betterI downloaded this early on in its development and it was so bad that I took it off my watch. It took too long to wake the car and was unreliable. A few months later I tried it again and it was marginally better. But the updates kept coming and it steadily became more reliable with shorter lags. It’s now a truly practical and useful watch app. The developer is doing a lot of work on this and it shows. This will soon become a go-to app and it’s exceptionally competitively priced. Give it a try!.Gerry (UK)Version: 3.3

Amazing app and Bluetooth wake can be fasterOverall I’m very happy and excited about this app. The UI is very clean and essential features are all there. The price point is also reasonable compared to the alternatives. One thing I suggest improving on is the latency waking the vehicle over Bluetooth. There is a 5-10 sec lag compared to waking the vehicle via iPhone. I suppose this is due to Apple Watch saving energy and this app trying to reduce BLE polling. Having a preference setting that allows a bit more aggressive polling will help users make the trade offs..YoshiatVersion: 3.4.2

Works… now it doesn’t…can’t find my TeslaI got it, set it up. It has worked fine for a few months. Right before Christmas, it stopped working and hasn’t worked since. I have deleted and reinstalled app multiple times. It tells me my Tesla is not found. Log out and log back in. This has been the same story month after month. Something has changed. Good luck, I am about to move on. 🚽.Mr. eieioVersion: 3.6.7

Updating earlier Bad Review from YtsudThis does everything including let you drive the car without your iPone or Tesla card. You can open the doors and the put it drive. I originally could do everything but drive the car. The app developer contacted me directly and made suggestions that enabled me to complete the process. This is a wonderful backup option if you forget the card or your phone. There support department was a big help..YtsudVersion: 3.4.2

Good but needs refinementOnce installed and configured properly, this has some very useful features. However, I had issues with the new API (v3.5.5) which a work around was identified to address the “No vehicle found…” issue. Hopefully that will be corrected in an update. I also haven’t been able to get the Homelink command to work (when the other commands have worked), but will keep trying. Seems it is simply a toggle to use (or not use) homelink, but my expectation was that it would work like the Tesla iOS app and open the garage door..Dcss64Version: 3.5.5

Awesome is backRewriting this review and giving 5 stars. The virtual key issue for the Apple Watch is now fixed. Great job dev team. I think opening the virtual key addition page via safari browser did the trick. Also a nice UI addition to use safari browser to complete the virtual key addition was amazingly executed. Great job a must recommend app for Tesla users who wants to control their car using their Apple Watch..TamilblazeVersion: 3.5.3

BLUETOOTH IS WORKING AGAIN!Mainly bought this app to use it for watch bluetooth use. Well the bluetooth function went down with the latest update. It wasnt working for a little bit and i couldnt find any information on it. It just stopped working. FIXED NOW AND IT WORKs! I wish the developer would update the app so people will Know when the bluetooth is down and that they are working on a fix. Thank you Watchla !.Starid3rVersion: 3.4.8

Must have app for Tesla ownersI’ve only been using this for a few days buts it’s already a game changer! Controls my Model Y flawlessly and really enhances the overall ownership experience. While it may not have the data or depth that some more advanced apps offer, it has everything you need for general use and the price is unbeatable. The additional Siri voice commands are a massive bonus!.Private MulletVersion: 3.4.5

Works as intendedWorks when all requirements are met. Need to, essentially, re configure watch credentials after each app update. Updates have been happening often lately. About twice a week on average. Kinda annoying but works well when you’ve got that taken cared off. I can operate vehicle with just the watch key and w/o my phone/card on hand..Steve B777Version: 3.6.6

Great tool - It worked when I needed it.Within and hour of adding this App to my watch I put my wallet with the keycard and phone in my gym bag and put them in the frunk. I walked around to take my bike out then closed the rear trunk. The phone lost the signal with the car and everything was locked. So great to be able to use this app on my watch to unlock the car..NcgoldbearVersion: 3.4.2

Bluetooth key worksInstalled this on Apple Watch Series 9 and series 4. Set up Bluetooth keys on two Teslas. Both watches can now unlock both Teslas without my iPhone nearby. Walkaway lock works for the series 9 and not on the series 4 watch, just as was described by the developer. Very worthwhile watch app to serve as a back up key when my phone and key card are not immediately available..SkipcooneyVersion: 3.4.8

Works wellHad the app for about one month and it works well! Once I added it to my Apple Watch, it works as a substitute for my iPhone to unlock my Model Y. I have used the other icons on the watch app to perform functions such opening the frunk and opening the charge port. Using Siri voice command through my watch usually works with a slight delay..Great EV Charging AppVersion: 3.4.5

Great overall but still needs some improvementThis app is great overall and ok would recommend especially for the price. I do however wish the iPhone widgets had more customization options. There is no as much detail as the stock I like the bigger car showing on the widget but there is not enough detail..JennyM42Version: 3.4.8

Edit: wasn’t working rightAmending my review, because the customer support is great so far. Got it working on a beta program so fingers crossed. I just bought this app and installed it and followed all the instructions. The watch app doesn’t connect. Keeps asking to authenticate through the iPhone app. Which I did And the GitHub troubleshooting solutions were useless.PixellerationVersion: 2.1

Stopped working!Everything was fine for awhile, but lately, I can’t even get into the app. I keep reading about upgrading to a different version, and that Tesla has changed something, but I have no idea how to go about getting a new app that will work!.Brooklyn448Version: 3.6.7

I can leave my phone behind now!When I leave my house, I can just use my watch to open and start my 2018 Tesla Model 3. This app makes my life so much more convenient. Keep up the great work, app developers! Thank you very much for creating this very useful tool!.Bob J RIAVersion: 3.4.8

Great when it worksMainly use it to “Turn on Climate” or to open /close trunk for my dogs to load up on driveway while I’m still in the house. When it works it’s like magic, but way too often it fails and gives error, requiring a second (or more ) attempt. I don’t regret paying for it, but can’t fully endorse it until it performs more consistently..WhycantIpostVersion: 3.4.5

Flush Interface, Stable!One must appreciate the slick interface and straight forward functionality of this Tesla Watch Component, it’s as good as the official app, and acts as the Bluetooth Key when your phone is not around so you can unlock and operate your car WITHOUT the phone..Dinoraptor101Version: 3.4.7

I requested a feature and they actually put it in the appFirst, it’s the cheapest Tesla watch app available which puts it in a very favorable spot. But what put it over the top for me was when they implemented a feature I requested maybe a month after I requested it. Great devs. Great app. Great price..MistertomlinsonVersion: 3.4.4

Great app, no issuesI’ve had Watchla for 2 weeks now, and it does everything I need it do, and does it well. Ive had no major issues other than the occasional short lag, which I don’t find problematic. Well worth the $7.00..C- 4 StuntsVersion: 3.4.8

Great watch app! May have to reset Apple Watch if Bluetooth not connectingI initially installed the app and Bluetooth did not work. I restarted car, phone, Watch, reinstalled the app, none worked. Finally I reinstalled Watch OS again, Bluetooth works. App works great so far!.B535-2011Version: 3.4.5

SwipeI think a swipe between cars would be useful ao a user can switch the controls between cars more easily instead of switching the car under preferences.Sjclark09Version: 3.4

Amazing Watch Apple with no subscription needed!Amazing interface that just works! Now I can leave my phone at home thanks to this app. I love how I can just pay for the app and I don’t need a subscription. Thanks for such a solid app! ⚡️.McKay KimballVersion: 3.4.8

Do what you need to doHave all the basic function that 99% of people need. I do wish they can put an image of my car in the interface, should look little more appealing..奈、、Version: 2.93

App works greatI’ve had this app for over a year now and it works very well. I’ve found that if the watch can’t wake up the car then the phone app usually can’t also. Best investment Sofar..Sensei1xVersion: 3.4.8

Frequent failEvery other week the app tells me I have to do something to keep it working. Right now it wants to authenticate, but it doesn’t do that just puts me in an endless loop. When it works it’s great when it doesn’t work it’s not great and the really bad thing is it’s not dependable..Nevermore45Version: 3.6.6

Okay startThis thing is slow and buggy but it does with a lot of the time. They really need to improve performance with the connection to the car and the watch features don’t always work! Update please and fix your bugs..JaiLdecayVersion: 3.3

Adds Key Redundancy increasing reliabilityThe Watchla Tesla remote key app’s dual keys resolve the unreliability of the iPhone key. Having two keys has smoothed out problems when the app goes in the background. A practical fix for a common issue..JtjdtVersion: 3.4.6

Fantastic appIt’s working now just fine. I think it’s a great addition. I recommend this for any user. It’s cool it works and it’s quick so you don’t have to pull out your phone. Love it!!!.Slingshot1679Version: 2.92

Super simple to use, give my Apple Watch super powers!Easy controls, face widgets are great and it just works. I can leave my phone behind and get in my car no problem..OmarDailyVersion: 3.4.8

Great but…It’s been a great app to have on my watch! Since this last update, have not been able to connect. I’ve tried deleting the app and reinstalling it and still a dud..Bossk is awesomeVersion: 3.5.1

Simple and easy to useThis is far superior to those other blood-sucking, leech apps that charge a monthly subscription for rarely used functionalities..Portland GuyVersion: 3.4.2

Practical at great priceWorks fine. Almost all features functional. Good stuff. Highly recommend.ZainrabbaniVersion: 3.4.8

It will not refresh the watch widget infoI have tried everything but the watch always shows the wrong widget info in terms of charge and inside temp, the phone app and the watch app are completely unsynch.Jorge-rdguezVersion: 3.5.3

Developer who knows what they’re doing.Well earned five stars because this app is to thoroughly well supported by the developer. Has a really solid beta cycle such that you’re not guessing about what’s happening on bug fixes. On top of that, it’s pretty elegant software for a fair price..Kr38tvVersion: 3.6.9

Excellente application.Tout fonctionne à merveille et ça nous permet dorénavant de contrôler notre Tesla du bout des doigts ! Excellent rapport qualité/prix..FireFrog08Version: 3.6.7

Apple Watch as a fob and control for your Tesla without the high priceI was looking at another Apple Watch app to control my Tesla. I often go to the car and don’t always have my phone on me. The price of the competitor app put me off a bit. Not only does Watchla allow me to access my Tesla, I can drive with my watch with only Bluetooth enabled. As an added bonus, I can also set up charging, climate, open the trunk and frunk, enable and disable dog mode and more. Much cheaper than getting another Tesla key card or fob. Looking forward to setting up Siri to access for functions. Caveat: according to Watchla website “ In general, it is believed that all Model 3 and Y vehicles are compatible and all refreshed 2021 and later Model S and X vehicles are compatible as well.”.Vancouver MuscleVersion: 3.01

Proactive DevelopersThis app does what the others do but are better priced and because they are proactive. You can tell when they continually update their product. You could Literally chat with the Watchla team on Twitter . I wish all apps was this interactive and proactive . Good jobs guys worth every dollar and some 🤩.HTV autoVersion: 3.01

Watchla for Tesla Negative Reviews

Almost never works, dev doesn’t respond90% of the time, the app fails to connect to the car. Other third party Tesla apps I use don’t have the same issue. It “fails to wake” and then gets stuck in an infinite failure loop even though the car is awake. The token expires constantly — I’ve had to reauth three times in six days. When you aren’t having those issues, the UI gets “stuck” and doesn’t offer enough feedback — tap on the Climate power button…did it turn on? Did it receive the command? I can’t tell, nothing happened. Developer doesn’t respond — I filed an issue days ago with screenshots and there hasn’t even been an acknowledgment. Save your money..RogersmjVersion: 3.6.3

Stopped workingI purchased this app because I wanted a backup just incase I lose my phone and forgot my wallet. Downloaded the app and followed all the instructions and tested operation on my new model X and it worked for several days and then I noticed that it kept on failing to send a command and it would just give me an error message. The app couldn’t even open a door or the charge port. I then deleted the app and reinstalled it and it still didn’t work, so I have requested a refund through Apple. I just wanted an app to work nothing fancy and it failed. It was installed on Apple Watch Ultra and iPhone 12 all upto date iOS. The search goes on, Happy New Year!!.Claude11554Version: 3.4.8

Looks great but limited functionalityI tried out other apps and prefer the look of this one. Also no phantom drain on the watch which was a deal breaker for me with other apps. Unfortunately, I cannot use any of the functionality like open doors, lock car etc because I get a 403 error upon any button push. So it’s really just a car key. Will wait a bit to see if this gets fixed. If not, on to the next app. Driving the car upon approaching with watch works fantastically..NickkkCageVersion: 3.4.8

Almost never works.Constantly having to sign in, reset, uninstall then reinstall. One of the reasons I got this app was for the add ons to custom watch faces. But almost every morning they’re gone and it’ll take the rest of the day to figure out what went wrong this time to get them back. When it does work it is extremely slow. Takes forever to complete a command. The motto for iPhone and Apple in general is “it just works”. Well this app doesn’t. Don’t waste your money. If I were to do it over I wouldn’t even spend $.99 on this app..Joe DangerVersion: 3.6.6

Only so-soDon’t expect the same seamless connection to your Tesla as you get with your phone. The features only work if you open the app on your watch first. All of us who have made our phones there “key” expect a pretty seamless experience when they approach their Tesla. The Bluetooth automatically unlocks the vehicle. With the Watchla app, you have to open the app first then let load and connect with the car. So yes, it works but it’s not a great replacement for the Tesla phone app..SninNCVersion: 3.4.5

It used to be good, but it's been a disappointment since the API updateI used to love using this, but since they updated to the latest version and Tesla API it's been disappointing. The complication never works/updates, the app forces you to authenticate multiple times, and it keeps telling me to sign in when I've already done it multiple times. Overall it's just been more disappointing as time goes on..Scooter1015Version: 3.6.7

Error: Missing required parameter: client_idI would love to rate this higher, but after purchasing the app, I can’t even log in to test the app. After the download completes and clicking the “Sign in with Tesla” button, I immediately receive the aforementioned error[1]. I’m not even given the opportunity to enter any credentials. Until the developer resolves this, I can’t recommend anyone download this. I will update my review once this is resolved [1]Missing required parameter: client_id.Hodor1234567Version: 3.5.4

It won’t update the car info on the watchI like the way that my watch is able to control the car and to act like the car key. But the info on the watch doesn’t update automatically and you have to go into the app every time on the phone to update manually. If I would have known this, I wouldn’t buy this app. Hope there is an update to address this issue..KunxxVersion: 3.4.8

Great at first, not now.When I first got this app it seemed to work well, however every time they update it it’s worse then it was. I have had to re-connect it to my car twice in the last three days, I’m sick of it. It has gotten to the point that I am just going to delete it from my watch and find a replacement. I hope they are happy with taking my money and not providing the service I paid for..TucsonhalVersion: 3.6.5

This app is uselessI wanted to love this app so bad but it’s useless. I always get “Vehicle Wake Error” messages and then the app spends several minutes trying to wake my car. For all that, I could fish my phone from my pocket or handbag and just access my vehicle’s controls much quicker. Also the controls on my watch are showing my car is open but my Tesla app is showing my vehicle is locked. It just doesn’t work. I want my $5 back….Im That GirlVersion: 2.3

UnreliableThe app used to work fine. However, after a number of recent updates is become very unreliable. When I finally have it working, it is inconsistent and does not update the battery percentage. -Even when the Watchla app on my iPhone shows the correct percentage. It just does not sync. Always shows the same. Most of the time the app keeps spinning on the watch..NYM 1969Version: 3.6.6

Rarely Works, no supportHave been using for about a month, if you learn the oddly specific order of operations, sometimes the app functions. Mostly you see an extremely delayed state of your car. If you aren’t with your phone, nothing on watch works (defeats the point of a watch app to me). If you want support fixing an issue, forget about it. Disappointed..PackfanmanVersion: 3.5.5

PLEASE DON’T WASTE YOUR MONEYThis app does nothing more than the free Tesla app does. It claims to work with Bluetooth commands and has a section where you can turn on certain commands, however, the iPhone says cannot complete this function every time you try to use them. Total waste of money. Also, tried to get support, and you have to download another app to send them a request for help..SELFBUILTMANVersion: 3.4.8

Still doesn’t workI purchased this app primarily for use speaking through watch app to deliver commands to Vehicle. Been almost a year with both Watchla and apple watch support and neither could figure out why the shortcuts are not functioning properly. I really wanted this app to work, but seems like I just donated money here unfortunately..Captain_DVersion: 2.99.2

New update render app uselessIt says the api has changed and I need to update in order to work. Went through the whole process. Now I have to use my key and connect from scratch everytime I use it!!! I have 2 cars, and switching between them was seamless before. Now I don’t even bother because it never works without a key card. And the shortcuts that I put in my watch face have all gone blank. I can tap and open the app with it, but it won’t display anything like battery info. It’s just a blank space..OahehfifhrgffVersion: 3.5.8
