Good product but not actively developed

The CarPlay support for this has left it looking like a poorly developed app from a small developer and not a well known brand. I went with this product because it was from a trusted brand. There has been no effort in the last 2 years to bring this app current from a user interface perspective. App is functional.
Don’t bother

In all fairness, the app and the hardware works fine. But, it’s behind times and lacks many of the new features other companies have in their products. Many people have made many requests to have Siri or shortcut support, so that we can utilize voice commands. But it’s been two years and there has been no updates to this absence then. I am dropping Garmin PowerSwitch and switching to Novlight. Their hardware and software supports voice commands. And to make it even sweeter it’s half the price of garments PowerSwitch. If you’re gonna spend $400 plus on an accessory controller it should have voice command. Or at least some sort of automation.
Time for a Refresh

This app hasn’t been updated in 2 years at this point. Garmin, show us a little love over here and give this app a fresh coat of paint and a quick check under the hood to make sure you are following best practices!

Make the carplay look like the iOS app.
Carplay app is basic

Phone app works fine although I wish buttons could be reordered and custom buttons could be added to the main screen. Should be able to download your own icons for the buttons. limited functionality in the CarPlay app. Custom functions should appear on the button screen. Buttons should have the same colors and icons as the phone app. Custom buttons using moment function work fine in the app but don’t work in CarPlay. I think Garmin might include more of this functionality into the Tread unit and they are trying to limit app functionality to sell those.
No ability to program turn off all circuits when ignition off

Could be awesome, love how they integrated w my trucks infotainment center. What I cannot understand how they failed to program the ability for all circuits to turn off when ignition is off.
Hardware great, software meh

The device itself works great but the Carplay app is in serious need of a UI overhaul. Make it look more like the iOS version and give the ability to customize the layout. It would be nice if you didn’t have to switch interfaces in order to access custom buttons, allow the ability to have custom buttons on the main screen.
Needs Siri and timers

Works as advertised but needs more features. Needs ability to use with Siri through Carplay so you can just ask Siri to turn on or off each switch at a minimum. Would be really nice if there was a way to make the switches turn off automatically after certain times, or amount of time since on. Would also be nice if the CarPlay screen icons were more colorful. They’re only grey. I’m sure there are all sorts of other cool options that could be in the app, but it seems they’ve chosen to just make it limited.
Useful app, but could use a refresh

This is super useful, but with the last update at around a year ago it’s showing some age.
Almost there

This app is great and reliable. We need more features like a way to customize on a computer. Save settings and upload and share. Also, please make a separate Bluetooth controller that can be mounted inside the vehicle. This helps with the tactile need to hit buttons without a phone. This is very doable and would be a great seller.
