Recently took delivery of a 2025 Ford Explorer. The app works great. It's nice to be able to enjoy a wide range of music choices.
***EDIT 6/22/25***Update*** Has been running much more reliably. I can do what I want to do, i.e., arm/disarm Ring, turn lights on/off, etc. Previous review it just wouldn't work consistently and gave it 2 stars. Hope it stays operational. Quite handy to pull in the driveway and turn off the alarm and turn on the lights.
Admirable start for this app, but needs a few minor enhancements to make it "good". Notiblely the ability to add the same linked music streaming services that you have at home. Like Spotify and Apple. My Alexa device is at home can play streaming from these services. This app cannot. Also need a setting for the app to start automatically when your phone is connected to your vehicle, without having to go thru so many button presses on both the Sync3 and phone.
The app is o-k at best. I just got a new phone and now a new annoyance. With my old phone (moto z4 play), all I needed to do was select Ford Alexa on the sync display and all as good. I never needed to touch the phone. Now with the new phone I have to physically open the app in order to enable the wake word. Whatever happened to hands-free? Ford/Amazon, you have made an unsafe app. This should be fixed immediately, it is unsafe.
The app says connect to bluetooth. I do but it sits there and does nothing as if I wasn't on bluetooth. I'm out of ideas as to what else to do. Read other reviews, apparently it's junk. Have to agree with others update definitely needed. Amazon where are you in all of this? Even Dec 2021 update fails to connect. This is with mobile apps set to on, so try another idea.
