Jaguar InControl Apps 4+

Almost a year ago I wrote a review about his app after about 2 weeks of use stating that this app isn’t as bad as all the reviews are making it be. A year later and I can honestly say....everyone was right. The problem with this app extends beyond the app itself. The true issue is the Jaguar ICT system. It is by far the worst infotainment I have ever used in my life! If you’re considering purchasing a Jaguar with the ICT system that does support CarPlay I have 1 word of advice - DON’T!!!! This app in no way, shape or form will provide anything resembling an enjoyable infotainment experience. I love the look and drivability of my Jag but I am literally counting the days until my lease ends. Never again will I skimp on an infotainment system to save a few bucks! And this app only makes the experience worst.

I have tried to use this app for 2 1/2 years. In the beginning it worked well with only a few bugs. But with each iOS update it has never been able to keep current. And for all practical purposes it’s been totally worthless and unusable for the last 14 months. Despite following dealership advice and deleting and reinstalling the app 3 or 4 times. The dealership acknowledges that it’s a software problem that the Jag corporate software vendor has not been able to fix for more than a year. As other reviewers have written, don’t waste your time even downloading the app. It’s useless. And the Hag executive who had the brilliant idea that JLR should create their own interface instead of using apple car play should be fired

This app is the least functional car interface I have ever used. I have had my jaguar for about 9 months. I cannot do anything in regards to text messages or emails (the dealership told me the app “doesn’t play well with iPhones) the music interaction for iTunes for example is clunky and inefficient. And worse than all that is that it constantly disconnects me when I am trying to listen to a podcast. Basically anything to do with connecting to my phone either doesn’t work or works so badly that I give up on it. Why would jaguar create their own app instead of using the fully functional Apple car play or Google? Makes no sense. It’s incredibly frustrating in such and expensive and otherwise great car.
