Re: Toyota introduces Connect app in India Downloaded the 'Toyota Connect' app to use it for my Corolla Altis. Pretty disappointed with it. IMO, the 'Honda Connect' app is much more informative than the Toyota app. Atleast Toyota could have changed the name to differentiate it from Honda?! How lazy!
The Toyota app doesn't display your car's service history, next service due date, journey information and vehicle tracker (i.e. - information that is useful to the user). Honda connect gets all this (vehicle tracker + journey info is available against a subscription charge). As of now, the Toyota app is free to download and use.
There is a sort of live service tracker available in the app, but I'm not sure how accurate it is/will be. The Toyota app also has an in-built sat-nav in it, but nowadays almost everyone has Google Maps (which is brilliant and glitch free) on their phones. So, I don't know how useful will people find the untested sat-nav from Toyota?
The most helpful/informative part of the app is the sea of maintenance-related information available about each model. The app gives a lot of details about each aspect of the car (brakes, ABS, warranty policy, DIY maintenance tips, service intervals, etc.).
Common features between the Toyota and Honda app would be the dealer locator, helpline numbers, etc.
All in all, needs a LOT of improvement/changes to become more useful. Not the most useful/informative app in it's current form. |
