Stats Reviews

If you initiate a trial and cancel and delete Stats , you cannot do another trial period. You log in, it gives subscription options and associated trial periods, but it doesn’t start the trial that you select. It immediately charges for a subscription. That’s not the reason for the one star review. Customer service doesn’t help you with the no refunds. No satisfaction guaranteed. I decided to delete Stats 2 days after “starting the trial” and found out I was charged for the year. this app customer service defers to apple. Apple defers to this app app. We have to make sure apps with subscription models have exceptional customer service. This one is pretty useless.

Update: I emailed and explained the situation to the developer and why this happened. I’m not trying to freeload. Genuinely wanted to see it head to head against another app. Instead of a resolution, they respond to this review implying I’m trying to avoid paying for Stats by reusing 1 week free trial. It’s even more obnoxious than I initially thought. Legit apps don’t have to blame unsatisfied customers. Complete trash.

Purchased Stats with the understanding that a modest price supported the developer. Then the developer cut-off access to the vehicle, making it impossible to use without a $9.99 / month subscription. The developed blames this on Tesla policy (see below). If Stats had said this at the original purchase, my rating would be higher. Stats I purchased has effectively been ended and replaced with a new subscription modem. Too bad.

“Tesla recently announced a significant shift in its API access policy, introducing a pay-per-use pricing model. The new pricing structure is quite steep.
Back in 2022, the this app app transitioned to a subscription model. At that time, I made the decision to allow legacy users-those who purchased Stats before May 2022-to continue using Stats without a subscription. Additionally, I have introduced many new features for legacy users at no extra cost, including a dedicated watch app.
However, with the recent changes in Tesla's API pricing, I find myself in a position where I must seek your support to ensure the sustainability of the this app app. If Tesla had not altered its API access policy, I would not be reaching out for subscriptions.
Your support is crucial as we navigate these challenges together.
I hope you will continue to be part of our community as we strive to bring you innovative features and enhancements in the future. Thank you for your understanding and support!

I’ve had Stats for years and have conversed with the dev on issues I have seen over that time via support and Twitter. The IAP is completely inaccurate in comparing battery degradation for my Model S 85D and he couldn’t understand why that was a problem, explained the dataset was small, neural nets are smart and how it’s such a great deal even though it is completely inaccurate. So he blocked me on Twitter instead of taking the time to realize this feature provides no value as designed. Nice. Anyway, I’d go for another option with a subscription instead so at least you could cancel when it doesn’t work as expected. Also when I bought it I think it was $5, $50 is absolutely nuts and not worth it especially with the changes Tesla has made in their app and the overall inaccurate measurements and half baked features and 1995 UI.

Uninstalled it recently and my phantom drain issues have magically gone away so I also suspect Stats was the culprit.

App is exceptionally bad. Everything from executing schedule tasks like auto charging or heating car, to what a lot of people overlook with Stats is the calculations. For example, if you look at cost savings the dev is using the estimated miles of the Tesla AND the estimated miles of the ICE. Makes no sense with ICE Cars average miles per gallon is VERY right on. So my previous car a Camaro V8 got 16 miles per gallon. So if I drive 32 miles it costs in NY like $6.50. These are not estimates these are concrete numbers. If I do the same mileage in the Tesla it should cost exactly what it cost to charge it back to what I set as a full charge. Instead he uses estimates. So if it costs $1 to recharge he is saying it costs like $2 dollars so the cost saving are totally wrong. As far as the other graphs they are pointless. Even the software version everyone is on. Who cares. After your first couple of software upgrades most of them are not that exciting. I mean they are great but nothing you need to check an app for constantly. Stats that comes with the Tesla lacks one thing, scheduling. Stats does it but it is spotty. Sometimes works sometimes doesn’t. DO NOT BUY APP TOTAL WASTE OF MONEY. OFFERS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING MORE THAN BASE APP.

Neat app, but it has been opening my truck randomly. I’d wake up in the morning and my trunk is open. I have a camera system and can confirm it’s random. Contacted Tesla service and they confirmed it was a third party app controlling it and this app it’s the only app I have. Came back to lower the star rating. After deleting Stats from my phone it still turns on my climate at the intervals I had set earlier. This is huge bug. Gonna have to wipe my phone to get it completely off.

EDIT: No Stats was not open, I did not say “hey siri, open the trunk” I was nowhere near my phone when this happened. I was in bed while my phone on the table. Nobody else opened the trunk. And I contacted the Tesla team about the incident and they said a 3rd party app opened the truck. I only had the this app app. Not to mention it’s still controlling my heating and charging after I deleted Stats . No, I do not have any schedule set up on the Tesla app, and I do not have any other app that would do that.

Stats displays information about my car in a way that’s easy to read. It also lets me control some key functions of the car, but not as many as the Tesla app itself. (No seat heaters, for example.) Something I really like is that I can set it to notify me when I leave the car unlocked (wife’s phone inside with phone-key on) or when it’s parked at home with a low SoC but not plugged in, or when I leave the heat on and the car is unoccupied.

I suggest Stats developers adjust the graphs so that time/odometer is always represented in the same direction between graphs. Some graphs show the past on the left and some on the right, which is annoying. Also, it sometimes seems to fail to gather information from the car for a few days at a time which makes the graphs less useful.

Yes, Stats is bit pricy, but it is totally worth it. In addition to all the features that the official Tesla app provides, Stats offer much much more: all the this app you could imagine on battery, efficiency and range. Not only you can see your data, you can compare it with other app users. I found myself use this feature a lot when compare my car’s firmware and efficiency. With firmware, you could almost predict a firmware will arrive soon when big chunk of other users are already on a newer firmware. With efficiency, you can tell if your car is acting abnormal or has potential issues. Sure there are enormous amount of numbers and graphs packed into Stats when you open it, but the developer carefully planted explanations right at your fingertips to explain what these numbers and graphs mean. Plus, you get Smart Sentry Mode, Siri control, more advanced schedule charging and Apple Watch app, which you won’t find in other Tesla app. Furthermore, the developer actively participates discussions on Tweeter and Tesla owner’s club forum. You get tech support there from the person who develops Stats! And just like your Tesla, Stats keeps getting better over time. The developer constantly improve Stats experience with people’s positive feedback. That’s amazing! I recommend Stats for any Tesla owners who want to know more about their cars!

I've had Stats for almost two years. It is loaded with features and is updated frequently with new enhancements. It is a great value and just keeps getting better! As Stats name suggests, it provides lots of statistics on your Tesla(s). My favorites include the current software version compared to other vehicles, my battery health, and my driving efficiency. But it is also loaded with lots of other useful features and controls--too many to list here! It comes with an Apple Watch app as well. The latest update allows your Apple Watch to be a bluetooth key that can unlock the car or open the trunk. Imagine just tapping a complication to open the trunk. There's also integration with shortcuts, so you can control the car remotely with Siri.

In my humble, self-derived opinion, this app is hands-down the best third-party application a Tesla owner could implement into regular use. The only reason I still have the Tesla app is for the phone key functionality, otherwise this app gives so many more options, I seldom need to touch the stock Tesla app.

Not only do you get range/consumption calculations and projections, and histograms to compare maximum range (and firmware, neat!) but you can also define commands that to activate by voice command!! So if you like to start your drive with the cabin cooled/heated in advance, maybe the seat heaters on, you can invoke this with a voice command YOU define for Siri (or even with a NFC tag if you are resourceful and your phone supports it).

The price? It’s worth it. There are lots of apps that are not worth your time, but this app is the opposite (completely worth it)!

UPDATE: Due to Elon pulling another money/power grab, the formerly free API access is now being charged for by Tesla. The dev has to pay this, so he has to charge a fee for users now and has switched Stats to a monthly subscription from what was a “lifetime” subscription model. While I feel for the developers, in my use case Stats does not justify $60/year (&5/mo.). I’ve owned my Tesla for over 6 years, and I no longer obsess over minutiae. I will miss the additional data visualization, but I WON’T BE PUTTING ANY MORE MONEY INTO ELON’S POCKET. I feel bad that the dev has become collateral damage, but he can take that up with Tesla.
————————————————

If you own a Tesla, you NEED Stats. It puts so much additional functionality and information at your fingertips that make the car even better - if that’s possible. Being able to turn on Sentry Mode remotely or reminding you to plug in your charger if you are at home and your charge is low are just two of its many, indispensable features.

The author is actively improving Stats , so it won’t become dated. Further he is responsive and knowledgeable which make for a perfect user experience.

I can sum up how I feel about this app in two words: Buy it!

After installing Stats , I was impressed by what it could do, but noticed an address inconsistency. I used the support feature in Stats but it did not seem to work… so I went to the web site and got the support email address. Less than an hour after emailing my question to support, I got a reply asking for a screenshot of the issue. There was a few back & forth emails where my issue was addressed to my satisfaction.

On the last email, I mentioned that I had to get email address from web page and immediately heard back that this must be because mi Apple Mai app was not working… and what do you know, this was indeed the issue.

I have never witnessed such immediate, high quality customer support! I just cancelled my 1 week trial for Stats and bought the permanent license. It does what it promises and without a doubt, I know it will be supported!

*** UPDATE TO MY REVIEW ***
There have been some reviews of Stats that include false information. Their claims are without merit and those reviews should not be taken seriously. I have used Stats almost daily for almost 5 years and it is THE best Tesla app available. The data is useful and the tools are amazing. You will not regret your purchase.

I’ve used Stats since I bought my Model 3, 2 1/2 years ago and I refer to it almost daily to check my MPGE, open the trunk/frunk, vent the windows, & set up schedules for charging. Ive set maintenance reminders like tire rotation, filter changes, etc. I’ve set up some SIRI shortcuts that allow for a better experience with my car too. The widgets are great too! There is so much more to Stats and it’s updated and features added often. So worth the money - no monthly fee, buy it once and it’s yours.

Finally but the bullet and glad I did, Stats is worth the price. I like being able to look at the cost and efficiency data. I also appreciate being able to use the today widget or watch app to perform basic functions like activating HVAC or shutting the trunk. But my favorite part is all the Siri shortcut integrations, which I have used to build my own workflows. It is not perfect, but the developer is responsive and always updating Stats .

One thing that should really change is the visualizations. Anything involving time on the X axis is displayed in the opposite order of ANY chart you have ever seen — the most recent dates are on the far left (at the origin of the axis) with older dates progressing to the right. Literal opposite of every chart you have ever seen ever. It is truly confusing. (And with charts where you must click through days - the click buttons assume the opposite direction??? Crazy.).

Also there are some grammatical inconsistencies with the Siri integration, and a couple of basic things that can’t be done with Siri (like simply activate HVAC at its current settings) But I have used several other apps, and this one is hands down the best. Well worth the price.

Stats has a lot of useful and interesting features, such as scheduled battery preconditioning and outside temperature, which are missing from Tesla’s official app and which I use daily. The aggregate statistics across users are also interesting, and the Siri integration is a lot of fun to play with. The best thing about Stats , though, is the developer. When I first installed Stats , I noticed a couple of UI bugs, and I will confess that my initial impression was not very positive. I reported my findings to the support email address, and within minutes had a response. After talking to the developer, I understand why Stats comes so strongly recommended and has such good reviews. Ramin is very responsive to inquiries, and has fixed all of the issues I have brought to his attention very quickly. He is genuinely interested in building a product that gets better over time, much like Tesla’s own products. You can buy Stats with confidence.

I have had the Stat app since I purchased my M3 in 2019. Stats offers a lot of data and features (i.e. voice commands) which the Tesla app does not offer. It receives regular updates from the developer, so it gets upgrades just like our cars. I use Stats in conjunction with Shortcuts app on iPhone to use voice commands with my Apple Watch to lock/unlock doors to opening my frunk/trunk when my hands are filled with grocery bags. It’s extremely helpful and is one if my favorite features. Since we just bought a new MY, I was so pleased that I can have 2 this app widgets on my iPhone for each vehicle, side by side showing battery life and (interior/exterior) temperatures. Can’t have that with the Tesla app. Lastly, the speed for any support questions is excellent. I receive a response the same day, if not within a few minutes. (Thank you Ramin!) I highly recommend Stats for any Tesla owner.

I absolutely love Stats . To be honest it saved me when I locked my keys and phone in the car. I still had my Apple Watch and could unlock the car. So many features too, including a quick access to open the charging port. You can see charging history way before Tesla adopted that, also historical money savings. When I got Tesla Solar it shows my charging status as a widget so I can see my was functioning as expected right from my iPhone Home Screen. Several years ago I had question that was answered by Ramin in a few minutes. Fast forward several years and a new car; he was there for support answering questions fast, efficient and resolved my one of issue as a the first Tesla with the new API. Buy Stats… it is worth the money and is actually supported with feature growth and ongoing support as Tesla changes their API and information capability.

I’ve been a this app user for almost two years. It has become my go-to Tesla management app along with checking the official Tesla app for software updates. Stats is easy to use and significantly enhances my enjoyment of my 2018 Tesla M3P+. During my annual visit with my doctor we spent way too much time discussing how much we like Stats. He actually brought it up by mention the this app complication when he saw that I had a new Apple Watch.

I’d like to especially call out the outstanding tech support from the developer, Ramin. On the few occasions that I have submitted a support request through Stats , he has responded unbelievably quickly and resolved the issue every time. What other app support team answers support requests within minutes on a Sunday evening? I’d wager that number is very small. Support for Stats rates an A+ or 10/10 in my book.

And , no, I am in no way related to Stats developer and have never met him or corresponded with him outside of the support requests I mentioned in this review.

Love Stats. The data is incredibly useful, especially love how I can track battery health, efficiency, which versions of FSDbeta are out there for my model, comparison data with others, phantom drain rates, projected range which is far more accurate than Tesla’s, and many more features I don’t use. The few times I’ve needed support the developer has gotten back remarkably quickly with solutions. The WatchOS app is truly useful, I’ve occasionally left my phone in the office and needed to get to the car and never carry the Tesla key card, and it let me into the car. (I wouldn’t rely on it 100% instead of Tesla’s own app to unlock/drive, sometimes this app WatchOS app won’t connect to the car I don’t have cellular watch.) I also have TezLab which is good but quite different. The other thing I love about this app is that a lifetime subscription so far really is lifetime, which I very much appreciate as all those monthly subscription fees get prohibitive - great that you can try it out though, I think you’ll love it! And functionality keeps getting better.

I bought this app shortly after getting my Model 3 RWD about five years ago, and still find myself touching it for one thing or another almost every day. I’m a bit of a data nerd, and thus enjoy going through its statistics and comparisons between how my car is doing in relation to the this app fleet. And like Tesla software, this app gets new features frequently. I’ve always been happy with this app since day #1. But today I’ve come here to praise it for its customer service. I’d been banging my head against the wall trying to make use of a feature introduced a year or so ago. I finally gave up and sent a message to the developer. Much to my shock & surprise, I had an email from him about an hour later. After a couple rounds, he sent me a link to an Apple web page which exactly matched my problem to Apple’s solution. With this, I solved my problem in five minutes. This level of customer support, both in timeliness and with pinpoint accuracy, is unheard of any more. I’ve always shown this app to people I know who have Teslas. Now I have an additional story to point out that Stats is from someone who won’t hide if you have a problem with it.

This is a very nice app for all Tesla owners. It provides timely and accurate statistics to monitor various activities within your Tesla. It also has Apple Watch support and Siri Shortcuts. It also does not store data in their cloud server or some other cloud server. The data is local to your phone, which is good for privacy. You can back it up to your own iCloud if you choose. This is also a one-time purchase and does not have any monthly commitment. Stats is constantly updated and improved. The support for Stats is more than outstanding; if you have an issue or a question, you get support within minutes. Not even Tesla can match such prompt support—in fact, Tesla is very slow to response for support issues related to their own app or otherwise. I highly recommend getting Stats.
