Hi regoapps,
Thanks for this great work! I just got my AppleWatch yesterday, and really like the appearance and functionality there. I had already been using the iPhone app, and found that I often use it now in place of the standard Tesla app.
I would request that you consider that many of us are a bit on the greying side, and our eyes are not what they once were. Please keep the type sizes reasonably readable.
I also find the map displays on the control screens of the iPhone app distracting. I would prefer a layout with just the controls and more spacing to prevent accidentally hitting the wrong control. Hope you are looking at that in 2.0.
Thanks again!

PS: It seems that the car responds to your app faster than Tesla's. Is that my imagination, or is there a basis for that?

PPS: Just donated to your young friend's college fund. What a great thing to mentor this person!
For the small font, if you're referring to the iPhone app, I made the fonts bigger in Remote S 2.0. As for the Apple Watch, I can try to make the fonts bigger, but there really isn't much space on that small screen. I'll try my best to make it bigger.
In version 2.0, the control screens are hidden in the menu button and will show/hide when you press the top-left button. However, in version 1.x, you can hide the controls already, by pressing the top-left button, and it will only display the map and stats.
It's not your imagination; my app is faster than Tesla's app. The basis is that I coded my app to take advantage of caching, multi-threading, clever algorithms, and taking advantage of what Tesla's API/Apple software can handle. One of the main reasons why I coded this app was that I wasn't satisfied with the slow spinning car loading icon in Tesla's official app. It's not necessary, and my app proves that.
And thanks for the very generous donation to my friend's college fund! Your donation accounts for 1/3 of the donations collected for the past 2 years.

Don't know if this is posed or or already covered but on the screen that you swipe up on Apple Watch (without launching app) is it possible to have the HVAC on button there? HVAC is probably the number one thing people use app for so a one click access would be great. Thanks.
No. That's what's called a "Glance". Apple doesn't let us put any buttons in a Glance. It is strictly for presenting information, and if the user wants to do any interaction, they must tap it and open the app. I have something planned that would make a one-click access possible, but let me finish up Remote S 2.0 first, because it requires the completion of Remote S 2.0 first.
