it's funny because someone is trying to argue with me on IG that it's my fault the app crashes when you press record...like there aren't thousands of others all experiencing the same thing

You get to record?! luckyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

(mine just never starts)

Oh no. That’s the point. Hit the big red button…..crash. But someone is claiming it’s my fault and it must be only me. Despite the king thread here right others experiencing it, or the reviews on App Store with others experiencing it. But gotta be just me right.

I was going to try it yesterday on the Trifecta but after 15 minutes of loading and permissions it wouldn’t even attempt to work. Guess what did work, On X……..

Mine records...but no video, just get a map of where I drove.

Anyone else having problems running it in Android Auto?

I have seen a lot of people going through this issue, hopefully Ford is watching and in the process of creating something more... functional, maybe even for more than just 'New' Broncos.

Such a helpful app. Will really show you the trail. 600 miles of trail in Windrock, it shows three trails. No trails in Royal Blue, no trails in Upper Cumberland, No trails in Cherokee National Forest.

East TN has several hundered trails, they dont even have 10 on the app. 3 years in the making and this is it??

You would hope that in this day and age...after the multiple stumbles with the Bronco, they would have done a better job testing. The APP is already two years after we thought we would get it...At this point I was expecting them to just buy another app's programming and data (like onXoffroad) and put their skin on it.

Funny to read over the comments ... on the BN podcast last night they were so amazed with it!

First, huge Huey Lewis fan! Saw him in concert in the '80s with the News.

Second, I thank Ford for producing an app for us, just Bronco drivers. Yes it needs work but they're trying. It's a brand new out of the box app, it's going to have bugs, should Ford have given it to a smaller group to test, sure? But it's free if it doesn't work for you, don't use it.

Thank you Ford.... Now continue with updates!

I've opened the app and poked around, but not done much with it. I've used a few apps like this for my motorcycle, and none of them are "fantastic." Pretty much all of them were outright garbage when I first started using them; some have improved. Hell, the Garmin I have (and its software) is still crap, imo, and they've metaphorically been around since maps were chiselled in stone. If trails and such are crowd sourced, then it has the potential to get better. I'd love it if Ford was able to buyout a company that's been doing this already, or at least their trail data.

As someone who has to manage devices and test application installations/compatibilities/etc., I can tell you that I, and my team, don't have the time or resources to test against everything. I don't even test against every model of device, and their varying configurations, we have at my work; it's just not feasible. Also, you'd be surprised at the creative ways that users eff up their devices. We aim for the 90%, and deal with the remaining 10% as it comes.

I'm not excusing the breakages some of you are experiencing (I'll go test recording later), but it's ouright impossible to test everything against every permutation out there.

Bugs in the app itself will get fixed, but I'd make sure to submit bug reports with your vehicle make/model, as well as your mobile device make/model/OS version, so they can identify trends in the issues. If you don't, then you're just yelling to hear your own righteous indignation for something you got for free.

I'd also submit feature requests there as well. I know I will be.
