What's New in the DroneMobile App?

Customizable Controls Interface


Over the years, we at DroneMobile have understood that many people use DroneMobile for a wide variety of reasons. It's not just a "remote start app", it's a security system for some or a way to conveniently pop the trunk for others.

Because of this, the DroneMobile Team has unlocked the ability for users to customize what their control screen looks like for EACH vehicle. This means that you can now re-arrange your buttons in a way that best fits your lifestyle and routine.

How to Customize Your Controls >

Important note: adding a button to your control screen doesn't automatically enable that feature on your vehicle. If your DroneMobile system was installed as a standalone GPS tracker, for example, you won't suddenly be able to lock your car just by adding the button. Also, if your system was installed with an alarm, you might not necessarily be able to remote start the vehicle.

We recommend consulting with your original installer to determine which features are available for your system.


Detailed Activity Filter

When navigating through your vehicle's activity and alert history, it can be difficult to find a specific alert or activity item. That is why the DroneMobile team has revamped the Activity Filter to be more precise in finding specific activity items by Command or Alert type.

All of these controls can also be layered with a date filter to get more precise in your search.


Don't Forget about the DroneMobile Widget!

We have found that a surprising number of customers have not yet installed a DroneMobile widget on their home screen. Using a widget makes starting and securing your vehicle so much faster and convenient.

Please make sure to check out these help articles on installing a DroneMobile widget on your phone!
