SubaruConnect Positive Reviews
Mashing that refresh buttonThe visual design and the way that the info that’s needed is presented in a good way and shouldn’t be touched. I gave 3 stars instead of 5 is for two reasons. The biggest reason is what others have mentioned many times, by opening the app the clear intention is to get the most updated info about the car. Having to mash the refresh button is NOT needed and frustrating. Fix that and you will make the users of the app happy. The end result is simple, open app, no refresh button present or needed and instead boom it shows you all of the most updated info about the lock status and most importantly the charge status. If it makes the app take a moment longer to load that would be acceptable for most people. The other issue I have is when remotely starting the car, holding down the “Start” button as it says to do, produces a delay and acts like it’s not doing anything and then a moment longer it shows that it remotely started. I understand and support the need to have someone hold down the button on the app to prevent accidental starts, however the delay on the status changing is frustrating. Please fix that..AGeniusUKnowVersion: 1.0.14
OK… room for improvementThe app in its current state is sufficient at best. As one other reviewer put it, it becomes an endless battle of refreshing the status screen, then the Home Screen, then back to the status screen, then back to the Home Screen just to get this app to update the battery percentage on the main page. In the beginning, it would also show me the current odometer mileage… that worked till about 3500 miles… now it just shows three ellipses after the “Mileage” title. Not sure why, it has less than 5k miles on it, so no extra digit yet. The first year of Solterra Connect is free… unless substantial functionality improvements I probably won’t pay for this. The car is great, with some quirks, but I still enjoy it daily. The app however, hard pass as it stands in the current state..Tigger2322Version: 1.0.12
Works Great! Awesome features!I’ve never had a problem with this app. We leased a 24 SOLTERRA in January of 25 and downloaded the app right away. It’s my wife’s car, so I simply logged into her profile on my phones app. We can start and stop the car, lock and unlock, set charging schedules and climate control settings. She absolutely loves how she can warm it up from her bed in these Colorado winters. And if we forget to lock it, you can do that too…all from the app. It tells you mileage and service reminders, even if you left the windows down. Super simple to use and comes in handy every day we drive it. Pro tip: the car needs to be plugged in to set the climate control “schedule.”.TurtleBoyDudeVersion: 2.0.0
Very good app, however..,We got our Subaru and was told it came with an app that was capable of alerting you if your doors and windows were locked or unlocked, it could set up a charging schedule, tell you the percentage of the battery, where you could find charging stations and, if need be, set up a remote key. And it worked perfectly until the free trial ran out. We called Subaru to see what the price was to subscribe. It’s a nice app to have, especially if it was free, but it’s not crucial to have and therefore, paying for it just doesn’t seem cost-effective..As4beatlesVersion: 2.2.0
Needs to update betterOn a positive note: The app is useful for finding charging stations near you, remote start and locking your car remotely.
On a negative note: Charging the car and checking percentage is poorly updated. Takes me 6-7 tries of refreshing the screen to get the correct percentage charged. Even while charging it at a station, this is the only time it will update faster. Still have to tap refresh a few times to get an accurate percentage..BraunangelaVersion: 1.0.11
Decent, but could be betterThe app itself is very easy to use and I appreciate the security. I also appreciate the capability of the op on Apple Watch. However everytime you open the app to check vehicle status, you do have to re open and refresh the app multiple times to get the most accurate information. That being said it is still not a terrible app and I feel as some people are biased since this is a Toyota based system..SushitgranVersion: 1.0.14
Pretty MediocreThe concept is great. The execution is lackluster.
The number 1 feature I use this app for is to check charging status.
When you launch, the screen shifts around as it redraws the charging status showing yesterday’s data.
Then you have to click the charging status header to go to the charging status details. Then you have to hit the refresh button.
Then you go back to the main screen. Then click the charging status again. Then it takes you to the charging detail screen with the correct charging status/battery level.
This is… kinda nuts. Needs to just show the accurate battery level and charging status without constant refreshing and clicking and shifting the screen..Milton ThalesVersion: 2.2.0
Okay, but needs improvementThe time of a recent pre-start setting always reverts to the current time whenever the date is updated - what’s with that?? For example, if I set the app to start the car at 6:00 a.m. today, when, later, say at 4:00 p.m., I try to update the date for two days later but still want the time to remain the same, the time reverts to 4:00 p.m. That’s ridiculous. Why have an edit option? Duh..Esqangel54Version: 1.0.14
Charging nightmaresI have traveled 1342 miles in my new Solterra and have charged it 8 or 10 times. Each time I was outside my area I had to find chargers and download an app for each one. At 1st my old IPhone had to be replaced to connect to the car and to all of the chargers! So I was out a thousand dollars right off the bat. When I got connected I found that most of the things I needed to use are fee based and the costs keep going up..Btrouble52Version: 1.0.14
Refresh screen over and overLike others have stated, when trying to view the current battery percentage while charging, the screen needs to be refreshed multiple times, at least 4-6 times to show current battery charge. I haven’t really had any other issues, although that’s really all I use the app for. Sometimes to lock the car..SmgarthVersion: 1.0.14
Better than the ratings suggestFirst - the app isn’t great, but it’s not as bad as some of the reviews make it seem. Also - some of the reviews are word for word duplicates. Makes me think disgruntled people who just like to complain.
Does it lag on the charging data? Yes - does it also refresh the data when you click the “refresh” button or drag down to refresh? Also yes.
The digital key works okay - but it definitely needs work. It’s not as instantaneous as some would like, but it’s also a neat feature.
Do I wish it was a true Subaru app? Yes. Their app is amazing.
But it’s better than the fob only remote start I had..ThatParksGuyVersion: 3.4.0
Remaining Charging Time Is Gone?Was excited to see an app update available that changed the UI. Estimated range with both climate control on and off were added but remaining charging time is now gone? Seems like a poorly thought out decision as many EV owners use this to gauge how much down time they’ll have while charging..KCL1976Version: 1.0.7
Brand New…. Feels like itSuper excited to see Toyota and Subaru moving to EV and smart features. Generally speaking, the app is decent. However, like many other reviews. The BT authorization is awful; it always prompts every time you approach the car. And, not having App support for a second driver is bad. The second driver can get a digital key, pair with a fob, and profile in the car infotainment— just not the app?!?!.Syracuse SethVersion: 1.0.4
So many things missing….I don’t usually bother with reviewing apps, but…
App was updated a couple days ago and:
* now reports expected drive time both with and without climate control — very nice.
* no longer reports remaining time to full charge — boo and hiss!
* still asking to allow remote connection every time
There are other small things it should do but doesn’t:
* identify the driver/profile on connect
* allow multiple profiles
I’d prefer to see the irritating little things fixed before any new and improved features (which I probably won’t use anyway). Right now, with the rough edges, it still feels like a beta release..One4everymanVersion: 1.0.7
Remote Charge FunctionsLatest update fixed my remote clinate issue!
I have a request though, any way to add a Start/Stip function to the Remote Charge section?
Like basically if it's plugged in at home and you want to stop it from charging, just a handy feature to have...TomburnsVersion: 1.0.6
Not bad, but could use some updatesServes main function of scheduling climate control. It would be great if it had efficiency data. It would be great to see how driving changes efficiency in the app. The watch app would be great if it didn’t log out every two seconds! Taking away one star for that..Rabbiw8Version: 1.0.13
Modèle année 2024Enfin, nous pouvons voir le nb de kW/h des recharges!.Hugo. L.Version: 2.3.0
Simply cannot refresh battery status!When I pull up this app to simply check the battery percentage status, I expect to see the current status of the battery. This app does not do that.
It shows me the status 10 mins ago. I always have to press the refresh symbol multiple times to see the real-time status.
Could the app developer please get this simple function done right?
I will definitely check back and leave 5 star once this is fixed 🙏🏼.Ec fellowVersion: 1.0.14
Needs More FeaturesThe app is getting better with each update. However, it needs more features that are an absolute must for EVs. A big one is the ability to change the maximum state of charge (charge limit) to whatever percentage we want in the app (ex. 80%, 90%, 100%). Also, you need to be able to do this while the car is charging (plugged in). Currently we have to unplug the car, turn it on and change it from the car’s multi media settings then turn the car off, and plug it back in. If I know I am going on a road trip tomorrow and want 100% overnight I should be able to change this right from the app without having to go out to my car and do the above. Also, it would be nice if remote climate/start could run longer than 20 minutes. Give us at least 30 mins..Ducatista10Version: 1.0.11
Manque quelques trucsPourrait être améliorée. Lorsqu’on utilise le réglage de la minuterie, la température est en farenheit. Les statistiques de consommation devraient être disponible sur l’application..Fortin13Version: 1.0.9
Meh.The app was better when I bought the car in December 2022 … it estimated the amount of time the battery needed to charge.
The newest version doesn’t tell me. How will I know when it’s fully charged?! 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️.Evie729Version: 1.0.8
Good MVPSolid MVP, hasn’t bugged out on me yet. If the car is connected to the phone, sometimes the app won’t load because it doesn’t have a data connection.
Would love to see some of the same stats from the car under in the app (it’s cold in Canada and I don’t want to sit in the car looking at them).
Would also like to see more under the ‘Advanced settings’ or ‘Charge management’.
Of course, I also want to see the % state of charge and not only the guess-o-meter, but I know this is already in the works.
Hoping to see some great iterations of this app..FideifusijueVersion: 1.0.4

SubaruConnect Negative Reviews
App got in the way of chargingI was trying to charge my car for the first time. I tried first at a ChargePoint location, but it never started charging. Then I tried a blink location. No luck. Each time, I’d download a new app, create an account, add my credit card, and then nothing would happen. I tried Electrify America because everyone said it was their favorite. That didn’t work, either. I started to think I was losing my mind. I ended up having to rent a car while the Subaru dealership investigated because I needed to get to an appointment Saturday morning. The dealership had no problem charging.
So when I got my car back, I tried again at Electrify America. This time, it got hung up initializing for about a minute, then it flashed an alert that the car had stopped charging. Immediately after that, an update for the Solterra app appeared. Once I updated the Solterra app, the Electrify America charger worked. But the Solterra app still showed that I had only 30 percent charged. It was only when I logged out of the Solterra app and logged back in that the charging percentage finally synced.
Just be aware that if you have trouble charging, the Solterra app may be getting in the way. That’s my hypothesis..Nicely-doneVersion: 1.0.14
Poor but functionalBeen using the app daily for about a month, primarily to monitor battery level, and occasionally to remote lock/unlock or remote start. The worst UX aspects: typically I have to tap “refresh” 3-4 times to get the latest battery level info. The lock/unlock/start controls aren’t intuitive and usually fail for random reasons instead of showing a disabled state. I think typically related to whether the car is locked or charging. It feels like it was all built to satisfy a list of software requirements but no one on the team actually uses the app. It seems like it was designed to support multiple drivers with separate accounts, but that doesn’t seem to work. There’s support for adding your home address but you can only add nearby points of interest and not an actual address..BenJamminVersion: 1.0.14
Super annoying to have installedThe app works… okay ish. There are a few huge issues it has though:
- App prompts for permission to connect to the car *constantly*. Like, if you are within 10’ of the car it will trigger a prompt - while using other apps - to allow permission to connect. It does this when you’re in the car, already connected via CarPlay or whatever. It does this while walking by the car. It does this while unloading the car. It does this while charging the car. It literally hijacks your phone anytime you are near it. It’s to the point that I might just uninstall it entirely because I get no benefit from it.
- If app has permission to access location data, it will mark itself as a navigation app and stay running in the background (draining battery life). Even when you aren’t doing anything with it. It just… really, really wants to know where your phone is all the time, even if you are nowhere near your car. This is a HUGE red flag.
- App doesn’t enable EV routing features in Apple Maps, which is super close to being a deal breaker
- Digital Key doesn’t integrate with the iOS CarKey framework, so it relies on being able to pair via Bluetooth
All in all - the app is a case study in how not to make an iOS app for electric vehicles. You’re better off not using it at all than using the small number of features it enables..LgroeniVersion: 1.0.6
DisappointingI have family who have Tesla’s and when they asked to see the app for my car after seeing theirs I was embarrassed to put it nicely!
1. Why the heck can’t we see the incoming power when charging?
2. Why does everything take so embarrassingly LONG to update?
3. Why can’t we roll windows up/down via the app?
4. Why isn’t there the ability to prep the battery? I work at 05:30 in the upper Midwest so when it’s cold out I’d like to be able to do that beings the car is plugged in.
5. All the sensors in the back seat and the darn thing sends stupid alerts to check the back seat when it’s clear of anything (floor or seat).
6. Why can’t we open/close the hatch?
7. Why does the car constantly lose or reset my Apple Music info?Causing me to have to go online and figure out how to set it back up even though I use it every morning and evening to/from work.
I have more but typing this out on my phone takes to long..Bubba4518Version: 2.2.0
Really basic and terrible appIt’s really embarrassing that a car company has developed and released such a terrible app. First of all it loads and operates like an old website, not a modern UI. The buttons and menus all react slowly if at all or just don’t work. As other reviewers indicated you need to constantly pull down and refresh to get any kind of updated data.
The most important feature is the digital key, however this simply just doesn’t work a lot of the time, which is quite the issue if you are depending on it to open and start your car! Unlike Tesla it seems that you need to open the app first… however the app won’t open if phone service isn’t great which could potentially strand you. Then sometimes it just doesn’t work regardless. Really poor showing on the app..FierceEffectVersion: 1.0.13
From bad to worseI love this car. I hate this app. I hate all of the in car system. I wish this was a true Subaru experience. Their app is amazing. All this tells me is that I will never ever buy a Toyota and that I will make sure my next Subaru is a real Subaru. I was so excited that Subaru came out with an electric vehicle, but I should’ve waited until they were able to build their own without this Toyota partnership. The newest update made this app completely worthless. It used to tell me the odometer reading and the charge. That was really the only thing that was useful about it to begin with the remote start remote key thing never worked. It seemed like a cool idea, but literally never connected. It didn’t work with apple’s remote key anyway; it still was supposed to work with just this app..PpppiachuVersion: 2.3.0
Love the car, hate the appBought a new 2023 Touring and love it, but the app is ridiculous. Took so long to connect a key with the dealer on pickup day. Plus, I’m trying to share a digital key with a family member and they do get the text, click the link, are redirected to the AppStore to download the app they already have, and nothing happens. No key ever loads, and the button to add car remains. I’m on an iPhone 14 IOS 17.4. I can have the other person login as me and see everything and my digital key, but that defeats the purpose of sharing 1 of 7 digital keys. Poor app functionality, and once my free year trial is up the service isn’t worth the $9 a month with capabilities that don’t work. Just want an app that works!.Harv_WVersion: 1.0.11
Missing critical functionality, poor performanceThis app is almost useless. You must refresh multiple times to view your battery status. You can set a charging schedule based on time, but you can’t set a percentage threshold for charging, which is the industry standard. On top of all that, you have to pay a monthly subscription fee to use the app functionality. I let my subscription lapse, and I could not reconnect through the app without customer support. I was stuck in a circular problem with no solution in the app. And customer service had me use the SOS button to reconnect to the app??? Absolutely terrible design all around. Subaru and Toyota fumbled this so hard..M2848011Version: 1.0.14
Update took features awaySo the app was pretty barren to begin with. Just some really basic info and functions for the car. Saw there was an update and thought “finally, they are moving out of the EV dark ages to provide some decent functionality.” Nope. They took features away. I used to be able to actively see the charge percentage of the car. Now, I can only see the last updated are of charge. Refresh does not update. The most annoying part. The car also doesn’t show percentage of charge - just “miles” and “time” to full charge. The tech with this app and car is abysmal - and even worse with the update. Great car, terrible technology..SquiddahVersion: 1.0.7
Why is this app so bad?!I’ve been using the Subaru Connect app on my 2026 Solterra for about a month now and it is not good.
First, it takes multiple clicks and refreshes to get an accurate reading of charging status. All I want to do is open the app and know how charged my car is without having to guess if the app is telling me the most recent %.
Second, the notifications are annoying. This includes a pop up on my phone to allow the car to connect to my phone. I already said yes and have said nothing but yes. Please stop asking me.
Third, apparently my model is not compatible with a Digital Key, yet the app always shows “Download Digital Key” front and center. Why can’t it recognize this isn’t an option for me and just hide this message? I spent so much time trying to download the key and having it fail time after time, only to find out that I don’t have access to this feature after calling the dealership.
Come on, Subaru. You’re much, much better than this..So_Dane_GerousVersion: 2.3.0
Disappointing FeaturesSubaruConnect will only support 1 driver for remote start of A/C. It’s as if the expect everyone to be wealthy enough to have a second vehicle for their spouse. It’s glitchy when connecting to the entertainment display. I can start the car and have my music playing through my iPhone but screen will display messages about profile not found and then not connected as I drive and listen to music. The app is weird as to when it updates information as to percent charged and plug-in status. I can’t get it to download a digital key..Brian-SFVersion: 2.2.0
Subaru should be ashamedThis app is insanely bad. It says I need to download the key, but fails to download. After “sharing” services with someone else and then revoking it now says that my subscription has expired. I called support to listen to them literally Google for solutions for 30 minutes with no fix. There are no key fob battery warning notifications so you can be suddenly stranded if it dies as there’s no way to start the car with the physical key. And, if you’re like me and also locked out of your digital services you’re stuck calling roadside assistance. I can’t believe Subaru charges a premium for the services offered in this app..Stowns3Version: 2.3.0
Works 10% of the timeWhen it works, you can remotely start your car! For a bit it took me 4 tries to do this - about 25% of the time. Recently, I’ve been just out of luck with this app.
If it only was supposed to let me check the miles on my car, I would rate it a 4/5. It’s fine. I have to reload it frequently. But adding in the car start feature (that my remote on my Honda can do easily) it drops quite a bit.
I hope that this gets better. I thought there was an update and it would be fine. Ha! Nope..Milton42Version: 1.0.7
App not working as expectedUpdated feb 2026: this app is still complete garbage. The mobile key functionality never works to start the car, and the app constantly shows outdated status information: for example, it will say the doors are locked when they're unlocked, or that the car has 127 miles of range when the car really has 43 miles. Our other EV comes from a different manufacturer and it has a mobile key that just works and an app that is always up to date with the car's real status. Subaru really needs to improve

Sad excuse for an appI had a Tesla before and then got a Solterra. I know what is possible from an EV app, and this doesn't meet the bar. Not even close. I like the vehicle, but the app is a joke. Don't bother trying to find chargers. The digital key never works for me. The app will notify you if the door is left unlocked, and can lock the door remotely, that's about all it's good for. Considering this is an integral part of the functionality of a $50,000 car... I expected much more. Subaru needs to take their app development more seriously. It's 2025 and software is part of the vehicle, and this app alone makes the Solterra inferior to most EVs..FallbroVersion: 2.1.0
I Thought the 2-Star Rating Was Anti-EV Brigading. It’s Not.We’ve had our 2026 Solterra on lease for about a month. We also own a 2025 Outback Wilderness and use the other MySubaru app fairly regularly.
The Subaru Connect app is embarrassingly bad.
1. Only one driver can have the car linked in the app. Multiple profiles can be in the car. If I take the car to work, I can’t pre-condition the cabin while it’s on the charger. First world problem, but also not rocket science. MySubaru does it.
2. The data refresh in the app is…random? For example, this morning it showed: 93% (the starting charge yesterday morning), 67% (the ending charge after the commute), but never the 82% it was actually at after charging overnight.
There’s probably more, but I don’t have the car linked in my app (wife does), so I can’t really review anything else..MalbiniakVersion: 2.3.0
Glitchy App For a Meh SolterraThe app doesn’t talk to the vehicle very well, and the functionality is limited when it does. In our other Subaru’s app, you can do SO MUCH MORE. On this app, I can’t even change what % I want the battery to charge to. Kind of annoying to not only remember when it needs changed and do more than grab the phone. To actually stay on track by dodging a 2 and 4 year old and make it to the garage to update this before heading out on a long Montana work trip without charging points between destinations is going to eventually get me stranded..OthernicknamewastakenVersion: 2.3.0
Not thought outAs others have stated, the app can only pair to one driver. In a family that has 2 drivers, the app is beyond frustrating.
When you call into support, they say you need to share the one account—let’s go over why this does not work:
1. Notifications go berserk if only one of the drivers leave which make the notification more than useless
2. Setting profiles and keys to drivers confuses the crap out of the system. If you are drastically different sizes of your spouse, the larger one will have a bad time if the car pairs to the wrong person
3. The above makes the digital keys useless
4. Digital keys are useless
The only thing that the app is capable of doing is providing a current charge status and that has been lagging and glitchy too.
I hope Toyota does put in as much time into the Solterra app as the BZ4X or please have Subaru develop one that works for the customer..MochaBear21Version: 1.0.6
There was an “attempt”I truly don’t review apps, that’s how bad this app is for what it’s supposed to be used for. The UI is clunky, it’s hard to find settings, and I sure wish there weren’t two whole shortcuts on the menu bar solely for the surprise of buying and paying for subscriptions. The charging is never accurate to what my car is actually at, and the charging station search is “meh” at best, I would rather go use an entirely different app to find charging stations than have to deal with the lack of filtering, functionality, and availability..NappsieVersion: 2.3.0
Not ReliableAter 4 months this app has turned to mush. The Home Screen keeps kicking me out despite the “keep me signed in” check. Then when I try to log in again the “you have been signed out” message keeps popping up on the screen. The pop up never quits keeping me from signing in. I delete to start over, which works a few times. And then it reverts back to the same problem. It’s more than frustrating. On cold mornings I want to exorcise my phone!.DocBranchVersion: 1.0.14
DowngradedUpdate: 8-25: now the app won’t connect with car and won’t show current charging status of the car. The dealer and Subaru have been working on it for over two weeks and have not figured it out. This app is useless. I would appreciate Toyota fixing this app or solve the problem with my car.
…….
They did an update about a week ago, I can’t see that anything changed for the better. Now it is worse. It used to display the odometer reading, not it just shows “mileage…mi”. They show test it before they release an update..Mary Annie LucaVersion: 2.2.0
A bit glitchy, but nice when it worksI hope Subaru fixes these bugs. I have observed a few glitches that I’d like to report:
1. After remote starting the car, the Bluetooth disconnects with my phone and I have to manually reconnect it upon entering the car.
2. The remote climate control settings stopped working today. The options to select the climate features are gone and I get the following error message: “An unexpected error occurred, please try again.”.SnazzyGKellyVersion: 1.0.11
Terrible appThis really is a terrible app. It’s constantly logging me out even though I tell it to not forget me and keep me signed in. If I try to start my car remotely, it then won’t connect up to the CarPlay. You have to reboot the console to get the CarPlay to connect. Also, it does not show charging details properly. The other day I was charging my car and the app never reported the charge even though when I got back in the car, the car had been charged to 100% and the app showed it at 30. It is a terrible terrible app..KozbVersion: 2.3.0
Truly horribleThis is truly one of the most horrific apps I have on my phone. I use it with my Subaru uncharted. How a company can make such an amazing car but can’t seem to make a super stable and usable app is beyond me. Checking the battery percent is beyond buggy. It hardly ever updates. Even when you pull down. The team who made this should seriously revisit it. Maybe it’s your manager. Maybe it’s the technology being used. Tesla and rivian don’t have these same issues with their apps. PLEASE dear god fix this app and how buggy it is..JBernhardNPVersion: 2.3.0
Long way to goThis is my 3rd EV and the worst app. They are all much better than Toyota-Subaru app and the others update more frequently. Can’t read charging data and percentage at the top with out a struggle. It’s too small. Won’t easily update it. Can’t set-change charging percentage (70%, 90%) from the app. Can’t initiate or stop charging from app. So much more. How is it that even Kia and Hyundai have these features and Toyota-Subaru doesn’t. They need to pouch some app developers from Tesla..K&L ClubVersion: 2.3.0
Does not workAll I get is a black screen that’s it. I hit register black screen. I rebooted my phone six times. I’ve deleted the app out of my phone 607 times I can’t even register my vehicle for it to work so the app is junk. I don’t know what you guys did do it, but it doesn’t work at all. I can’t use half of the features that I need to use. you guys really need to do some fixing this because I was looking to get in the Subaru trail seeker but I don’t know if you’re app doesn’t work with it. There’s no sense of me having it..MikempdVersion: 2.3.0
Useless app!I’m not sure what this app is designed to do, because it doesn’t do anything well. The recent update made it even LESS functional. It’s great in theory: remote start, customize charging schedule, schedule maintenance, etc.
In effect, it does none of those things reliably. Continually needing to refresh the app, continually getting signed out and having to start over. Truly a garbage app and my biggest source of frustration with the car!! I cannot believe this is the finished product that Subaru is proud to promote..JuliGrillinVersion: 2.1.0
90% AnnoyingThe app has some great features. As someone new to EVs, some of it is intuitive but much of it is confusing. But the app doesn’t explain much about the car’s very arbitrary naming of things and is made to look like a fancier fob but it’s still not easy to navigate. Most frustratingly, the app logs me out every time I leave it. This makes using the autostart feature useless. Why does it log out every time?.FuecocoVersion: 2.2.0
HorribleThis app easily matches how horrible the software in the car is. Toyota needs to hire some high school kids to rewrite this (and the car UI) and turn it into a useful, usable app. There’s not enough room to document all the shortcomings as many others have said. Unfortunately the “profile system” is fundamentally broken so there’s also little room to put lipstick on that pig, and the car can’t perform the basic functions documented in the user guide, so there’s little hope for this app to improve..~~~~~~~1~~~~~~~Version: 1.0.7
Love my Uncharted but this app is terribleFalse vehicle status notifications in the middle of the night (open windows, unlocked etc). Digital key download fails (loops forever on screen requesting to enable notifications via sms messages, while sucking up my cell data). It’s generally laggy and I have to frequently refresh to sync vehicle status. Plus, ATT hot spot cancellation requires a phone call. Don’t bother with all the trouble shooting gyrations you’ll find on the internet. Please fix this mess..BinkydognoseVersion: 2.3.0
Needs ImprovementWhen it works, the app is nice and a valuable addition to the SOLTERRA ownership experience.
It is not reliable. iPhone repeatedly asks to Allow Access for this App. The digital key is supposed to work for up to six phones. It only works on 1 of our 4 phones even after calling tech support. That one worked about 80% of the time, until my fell to zero %..Eme jota ceVersion: 1.0.8
Worst car app everTo say that this app is terrible doesn’t even begin to describe what a horrible experience this app has been. The Subaru electronic interface is generally clunky and dysfunctional, and the app is no different. The lock/unlock feature is extremely finicky and slow (if it even works), and the remote start functionality worked for a time and then simply stopped working all together. Subaru needs to massively improve its game here - this is just sad.Msk21Version: 2.3.0
Finally updated but shamIt was finally updated from the screenshot used for loading. Even had a timestamp on it! Wanna see your battery level? Pay $8. Wanna start your car? Pay $8. Don’t want to share your data with third parties? Too bad so sad, cancel and lose all connectivity.
Eight bucks a month to see your battery level. Should be free for that.
Scummy by Toyota. Waiting to join a class action about this..InnoculisVersion: 2.3.0

Great care but I Poor apRecently purchased EV Subaru and I was excited about using this app and we have nothing except problem both for a primary users as well as secondary users. It is hard to believe Subaru offer such a poor digital experience, especially with EV cars..KingofmtnVersion: 2.3.0
Functionally uselessSo the app really does nothing but lock doors and start the car. Any advanced features the Solterra has can only be accessed from the car itself. I wanted to change the charging limit from 80 to 100 percent but was not amused when I could only fiddle with the charging schedule with the app and not the limit..Dude-BroTOVersion: 2.3.0

Useless appThis app does not offer any helpful functionality. There is no remote start for instance. The map for charging stations does not auto refresh and other apps are far superior. Why do I need to know my dealership in the app. There is so much uselessness here..Intense HerniaVersion: 2.3.0
Lots to be desired and slow comms with vehicleBeen loving the vehicle itself owning the Solterra but the Subaru Connect app leaves a lot to be desired. The main features are missing such as: Battery Departure Schedule, Max. SOC, Max. Current, view vehicle efficiency stats and performance stats, etc.
And the delay to make any change is horrendous. App doesn’t need to confirm the settings have taken place in the vehicle at the time but whenever it’s sent and confirmed. A simple alert can occur when it’s not sent/received as a fix.
Plus the subscription in the vehicle is not working so I have limited route calculations.
Please improve. Please..Pld74Version: 2.3.0
Slow, under featured. Good car.Really slow or never updates state of charge. No charging information. Very basic features. No Apple Maps Route planning. It’s gets 2 stars because at least the basics work even if it is slow. I like the solterra but this app takes away some happiness.LilcatzlolVersion: 2.3.0

The app fails to pair with the car and no assistance is providedWhat a poor app this is, and what unprofessional conduct by the support service. I followed the registration instructions but the app cycled between the
User id, car serial number and the pairing code screens, but never completed the pairing process. After several attempts, I called the assistance hotline in the middle of the afternoon, but nobody answered. After waiting for 45 minutes, I hung up. And now, I must wait until Monday because they provide no support during the weekend..Noweh?Version: 2.3.0

New version doesn’t update statusThe new app doesn’t refresh data reliably. My vehicle has been plugged in for several hours and the vehicle should be nearly fully charged but it still shows the state of charge it was when I plugged it in!
The old app was much more reliable to the point that I was planning to subscribe to the service upon expiry but if I’m not able to get near real-time data from the app then I see no value in purchasing a subscription..Gun 4 hireVersion: 2.0.0
New Version is Totally WorthlessJust released version is totally worthless. Required me to manually add my Vin (again) and then said to connect using my car's multimedia screen via a QR code or a 8 digit pin but nothing appeared on my Multimedia Screen so now my Solterra can be connected at all!
Worthless! And it broke my previous version so no going back!.KevinH2023Version: 2.0.0

BadIn the 2 years I’ve had the app, I’ve been able to unlock the car using the app maybe twice. Possible the worst digital key out there..Bexi SVersion: 1.0.13
Feels incompleteFor one: the digital key has never worked and keeps on just refreshing. Still unable to unlock, lock or start with the digital key.
Extremely slow to connect to the car and an updated status.
The watch app cannot connect unless the phone app is running which defies the entire purpose of having it on the watch..HughsaneVersion: 1.0.9
HorribleAwful app. Glitchy. Poor connectivity. Unreliable feedback. How awful of Subaru to get rid of the command start on the key Fob which worked perfectly fine, and replace it with this awful unreliable app. Gone are the days of a reliable command start. Super disappointed..Sisterlove1Version: 1.0.10
This app isn’t greatThere’s obviously a glitch and it doesn’t show how much your battery is charged which really is the whole point and the app is generally quite useless except if you want to lock or unlock or start the car.
If I’m travelling and I want to know where my charge it at that’s pretty important. Even when it’s refreshed it still doesn’t work and is inaccurate. That’s not safe or convenient. Needs a fix.

Glitch with the appI struggled for about a month to get this app to work. After almost a month of trying, Subaru finally resolved it. I enjoyed the features for about a week and then the app crashed and now I cannot even get it going again. Very disappointing!.Ninja 8888Version: 1.0.8
Latest version has major issue!!The latest version of this app (mid-July 2023) has a major problem - you can no longer see the current state of charging! Previous versions - while clunky - still allowed you to see the battery percentage while charging. This one does not. This is a really big flaw. Please, please fix this ASAP..JPSolterraVersion: 1.0.7
Update GlitchGlitch with the new update. I could not lock my car through the app anymore. Thrash. Really starting to regret trading my Crosstrek for the Solterra..Siders RexyVersion: 1.0.7
Stay awayAppreciate your Solterra without this connected services app. It's poorly integrated with Toyota services that this app is bringing down both the Toyota and Subaru brands. It generates only one error message and that is "Oops ... try again later. " Sucks to the max. This app single handedly made me regret switching to a novelty EV car. I should've trusted my instincts and not go for loyalty..@ohtziVersion: 1.0.6
Too few featuresThe app as it has been shipped feels like a beta version to me. A few basic features I would expect are missing: seeing the stats for past trips, getting the kWh consumption when charging and the history, being able to actually remote start the car and not just start climate control
Hoping to see these added in the future!.Enirual22Version: 1.0.6
Pretty badDoesn’t allow 2 drivers.Daedalus1650Version: 3.4.0
Does not allow 2+ owners accessHopeless. If you have 2 + owners/drivers, only 1 person at a time can access the charging data and other features. Why? With an EV it is highly probable that more than 1 family member needs to know the charging status of the vehicle. Fix this please as it ruins the enjoyment of our new Subaru..Salix_FelixVersion: 3.4.0

Meilleure application svpPrenez exemple sur l’application Tesla sérieusement ! Tout est long et impossible de trouver des paramètres facilement.
Ça devrait être simple d’appuyer sur un bouton mais non il faut rester appuyer attendre 10 secondes que la commande s’envoie.
Il manque la fermeture des fenêtres à distance, démarrage sans clefs !
Tellement de truc de travail à faire pour rendre cette application à peu près passable.*Flo 75*Version: 3.4.0
