WebLink for JVC

Terrible, it continually prompts you to do things while driving, minimizes your maps and causes actual driving danger and distractions. Will not let you exit the app will not let you continue without agreeing to pages of fine print all while trying to get somewhere in your car. Not ideal for an app for people who want to drive safer.

I got a great JVC radio for my birthday and was excited about all the things that were SUPPOSED to be available, like GPS via Waze or Maps, connecting to Spotify and much more. Honestly NOTHING works. It is as if Android Auto and WebLink for JVC are in a constant fight. All of a sudden Waze pops up on the phone screen, disappears and changes to Android Auto or WebLink to then tell me I have been disconnected because I have an unsupported device and my radio screen goes black. Very ANNOYING!!!

only had it a week so far, but really like it. i have a google pixel phone and can run voice, navigation, and everything fine. when i first plug in the phone it does take a little bit to register on the radio but a little patience is not a big deal. I wish u could add apps to it is the only bad thing. I guess i will see hiw this gies as i see all the bad reviews, but for me so far so good and I love it.

If you are having all kinds of connection problems, also install the JVC Smartphone Control app. After doing that I didn't have any problems and things started working as I'd expect. Was so frustrated for over a year with webkink as I couldn't get it to reliably work and multiple phones. Using my Pixel 2 with Android Q is working fine now.

application does not function with Android Q beta. it thinks that my head unit is not compatible with web link. Sometimes it says it needs to be updated! However, I have the newest update at all times. it will flash to say that it's about to turn on to my head unit, then shuts off and fails.

Thank goodness I am not the only one that finds this app among one the all time worst apps ever. I am having difficulty with Android Auto as well but that's another story that together makes this 500$ upgrade pretty much useless. Look at this way Web link. Your not the only completely incompetant app provider for the car radio and cellular phone interface.

I resorted to using Apple Carplay. This app didn't connect to the headunit when using my S8. Also, if anyone is getting a "Please put your car in park" when using Android Auto, it's ultimately an Android issue. Android has a garbage policy that checks that the car's parking brake status. You need to ground the brake to the head unit or install a bypass.

Just find another radio, the Weblink app function is based on a a few apps that must have bought into the app. You cannot add apps nor can you use the system without the JVC weblink even if you use android auto. You will have consistent pop ups when you connect to the usb cable telling you you must download weblink...this is dysfunctional, run away.

very flaky. I have an S9, and this app repeatedly disconnects. Right in the middle of a trip I lost connection and it would not reload. I tried rebooting the phone and it still would not load properly. Very frustrating.

Cannot get this app to work for the life of me with my Galaxy S9 & KW-M740BT. It just constantly says 'disconnected, please connect to a compatible head unit' . The Waze GPS unit that came with my JVC head unit is basically useless until this app is fixed. Absolutely garbage app from what I can tell from the other reviews. Please fix ASAP.

I've made better apps in my first year of my computer programming degree. This is honestly embarrassing and it doesn't work at all, there's not even proper error handling, so idk what even is the problem, all I know is it's broken. This is honestly gonna cause me to go return my $500 head unit. How can you sell these advertising web link and it doesn't even work.

For some reason it does not work with samsung galaxy s8 paired with the JVC KW-V840BT stereo.. purchased stereo for the "hand free" capabilities (take phone calls, and gps) but it's been nothing but a headache. Fix the issues please.

Sometimea it works, sometimes it doesn't with my Moto Z2 Play. It has great potential, but until they fix the bugs to make it stable, it is useless.

Does not work with Android. This the most worthless app I've ever seen. It's evident that JVC doesn't care about the connected world of people (including those who purchase their products). The only reason for 1star is I can't give it a minus 10. complete garbage.

Seems like some rokie developed this software/ or JVC doesn't want to spend money. Actually you need to install two app on the phone, Weblink by Abaltec, then JVC smartphone controller software from JVCKenwood. The 2nd software starts the server on the phone. Then you get connected. The product is developed in Malaysia I think, the remote control says so(made in Malaysia). Waze is good, but the screen adjustment should be there as screen doesn't fit in car display. Need some tweaking, my request to JVC is that make the software open-source, we will make it better.

Really nice to see that the developer is constantly updating the app, which is always appreciated. Though with this new update on 01 Oct 2021, the YouTube app keeps singing out my account. Quite annoying :(

If I could give this a -1 I would. It is by far the worst app and unit I have ever had. Neither the app or unit communicate, have troubles all the time with disconnection. Called JVC and the solution was to remove the unit from my vehicle and send it in to be checked, with the cost of removal and reinstallation to be at my expense. After paying over $600 for this unit, I'd expect this to work and JVC to be more helpful. Will never purchase another JVC ever again.

Open randomly around the clock. Would'nt be so bad if you could stop it from the notification itself, but you CAN'T!?!?!? (You have to force stop the app every...beep time I receive a notif.!?!?!? ------ Why is that please explaint ------ By the end, if you have Android Auto, dont bother with this one.

For anybody that's thinking of buying a JVC double DIN deck I bought a KW v640bt for the specific use of the map apps Waze is not even start up the other map app shows a map but you are not able to type in a search as in an address that you wish to go severely disappointed in JVC would not recommend buying their product I've heard good things about the cheaper double DIN decks may go that route if I could give a zero rating or negative rating I would

After recent update the waze map compatibility with Weblink gone wrong.It shows on screen that waze map is not compatible with JVC WEBLINK. what the hell.

Suckiest app ever. It never stays connected and I keep receiving an error message. What a waste.

Please fix your application ..i facing problem can't play YouTube smoothly..it always showing error notification"please see on YouTube".. Actually i on YouTube application.. Its not clear what should i do .

Not able to connect..its written "Please connect to compatible weblink head unit..i kept uninstall and reinstalled agàin and again . Still No good result. Please tell me whats the problem
