Appmuse

The app needs an update. Crashes as soon as it connects. It’s unusable until an app update. Please update this app

The app crashes as soon as you connect the charger. Alexa functions do not work without the app running.

Please fix the new update from 11/9/22. It has broken all functionality. Apple, can you post the last version of this app? Many people are going to need it.

The app crashes and closes a few seconds after it connects. I checked the Roav VIVA for updates to see if that could be the problem, and no updates were available. It received an update when I first purchased it in August 2022, but nothing since then. FYI: I have a iPhone 12 using iOS 16.1 PS Your email address didn’t work, and live chat isn’t live and a very unhelpful way to report problems Show more

Bought this item with the hopes of adding Bluetooth to the car. I use my iPhone 13 pro. The app and the device are problematic at best. Connects when it wants to and almost never plays music over th car stereo. Whe it does work if you receive a call it is loud and clear but when it switches back to the music the volume is at a quarter and does not get back to a normal level of volume. Pairing unpairing and forefront the device does not help the problem. I would not recommend this product. It’s a great idea but fails miserably for $100 dollars. Show more

Piece of junk. Don’t buy it. All it really serves as is a charger. Other than that don’t bother. You won’t be able to get it to connect to your phone Show more

So much fun to hear music I enjoy in my car. Sometimes I just want to keep driving.

The roav device is not showing up in the accessories list to pair it and no help for this issue is offered on the website other than “use another phone” like I have so many cell phones to switch between. Wouldn’t recommend buying unless you don’t mind if it decides not to work. Show more

The latest version of Roav Viva iOs app has a problem with near continuous Bluetooth connection popup notifications. Every 10 to 30 seconds while my iPhone is awake and I’m away from the car, I get a pop up saying the Roav is connected. The Roav has no power when the car isn’t running and I’m quite sure it isn’t actually connecting when it claims to be. Very annoying. Seems ok if I’m in the car and actually connected. Please fix this. Show more

I hope someone reads this before purchasing the equipment. It is 100% not worth it. There are connection issues everyday. They supposedly sent an update out awhile ago to help with it staying connected, it did nothing. Even after you spend 10 mins getting it connected it’ll play a song then disconnect. I will spend most of the car ride just trying to get it connect and it’ll continue to say connection failure. It is not worth the money or the frustration. Show more

Cannot finish setup process on iOS 13 / iPhone 11. Avoid.

Connecting to the radio is a plus

I was an early adopter of this app and its associated plug-in charger/Alexa controller. For me it works pretty well with some caveats. It would work better if it were actually integrated with CarPlay and would allow me to both invoke its use and speak to it through that same audio link as my iPhone. As it is the unit has its own microphone which in my Chevy Bolt is located down by my right shin. So if I’m listening to CarPlay I must pause CarPlay so the environment is quiet enough for the Viva to hear me. I’m sure this is a political issue between Amazon and Apple and ROAV is simply doing the best they can in that environment. But if one is willing to do the “political workaround” the Viva itself does exactly what it claims to do...and it does it better now than it did when I started in 2018. Show more

Eh, you know, it’s good stuff.

This app and the VIVA Pro could’ve been great! Without Spotify support for Alexa, I still need to use my phone to pick and change music. Please, please, please add Spotify support! Show more

After the iPhone update to iOS 13.3, my Viva connects via Bluetooth but will not synch / connect with the app. It used to work great. Now only iTunes plays and takes over the car’s audio system. I’ve searched for a fix; so far - no joy. Show more

My Roav VIVA pro car charger won’t connect to my phone’s Bluetooth. Tried uninstalling and reinstalling app several times and will connect the first day then next day won’t connect. I have had device for less than a year; I don’t feel paying $70 for a product and a malfunctioning after less than a year is acceptable. Please help me to fix issues. Show more

I was really happy with this app. Until someone deleted the fm output feature.

I’ve used the Roav VIVA all year with minimal issues. But for the last few weeks it is constantly disconnecting and/or unlinking from my Amazon account. I previously would have rated four stars but at this point I spend more driving time than not with a device that I can’t use. And since no other variables have changed, I can only assume that something has gone wrong with this app. Please fix! Show more
