SUBARU STARLINK App Reviews

The dealer was insistent that this app was necessary. After installing I can see the dealer is either A: is clueless of what is necessary (not likely) B: Trying to drive up numbers for app use (my guess) Like others have stated their car (in my case a 2016 Forrester) is a great car but the app is a waste of storage space on IPhone absolutely no need.

As far as I can tell, this app does nothing for me. Its buggy, never connects, and obviously not written by a native English speaker. Please update soon.

The interface and commands are not modern, intuitive or user friendly. The Aha and Pandora apps function more efficiently than this. It doesnt connect or load properly. And I am a Subaru sales consultant.

I downloaded it and couldnt even open the app. It was stuck downloading. Go the Bluetooth route.

I never give feedback because I dont want to waste time, but this app takes the cake! Subaru, really? Youre going to put your name on this? Ive been a software developer for almost 25 years now and Ive never seen an app developed thats worse than this. Never! Absolutely worthless and has no useful functionality. Wait, did I say useful? There is no functionality! One star for this app is gracious!

Useless, Embarrassing.

Useless...all you need to know.

Need to plug iPhone into vehicle and app acts an intermediary for data to connect to a few cheap sites. (Not Bluetooth compatible) Would be way better if I could mirror apps directly on in car display and choose my websites and apps to use.

I wonder if anybody ever tested this application before releasing it. It is very complicated to use, requires internet access and has very, and I want to emphasize on very, limited functionalities. The head unit is not much better either, cant believe they ship this kind of garbage in $30k car!

Not bad, but not good either. Buggy, and Subaru does not seem interested in hearing feedback, or bug reports. I do like access to iheart in Canada.

Doesnt work. At all. Dont waste your time with downloading it.

This app is barely functional in a real sense. Subaru should be embarrassed. Get carplay subaru , seriously.

I can build a better app at home.. Comon

Does not link with 2015 Forester despite the fact that the radios opening screen indicates that it is designed to interface with the application. Subsru has many strengths. Sadly sound systems arent one of them.

It seems to lose connection to its server all the time. The weather cities are only US. Not user friendly ; cant figure how to configure .

This app is terrible... Its slow, its buggy, its outdated and barely offers any feature. I guess Subaru does not really care about their customer based on how many complains there is on this app and their outdated infotainment system. They provide Pandora support which is not even available in Canada so whats left...

Im loving the apps section and so glad that you guys updated the app

This app and implementation leave much to be desired. Its as if this app was designed and built by a high school computing sciences class. No, thats not fair, grade school CS class filled with kittens and piglets. The feature set is limited. The latency between button selections and actual use leave me tired. I almost feel relieved when the app crashes as I subconsciously dont want to deal with it. Please Subaru, burry this app, announce your CarPlay strategy and lets move forward.

I am in complete disbelief that this app continues to be available for download. Subaru, you are embarrassing yourself and should be ashamed of this terrible app. Adopt CarPlay and win peoples confidence back.

This software truly is terrible. Whats the point Subaru? Why dont you care?
