Hi everyone,

I'm Thierry, the developer of (Re)Link. Today I'm opening the beta of a new app, wattata.

Everything (Re)Link shows comes from Honda's servers. That means OnStar, a Honda account, and only the snapshots Honda chooses to share: no trip history, no per-trip efficiency, no charging curves. So I stopped asking Honda's cloud and went to the source, the car itself.

wattata has a companion app in the car, from the Google Play Store. It reads the vehicle data as you drive and charge, and sends it to your iPhone in real time over Bluetooth. There's no account, no OnStar required, and everything is computed on the device.

wattata does not replace (Re)Link. (Re)Link gives you remote status and commands from anywhere. wattata gives you the detail of every trip and charge when you're near the car. Many people will want both.

The beta: I'm looking for Prologue owners with an iPhone, ideally a mix of Android 12 and 14, FWD and AWD. If that's you, DM me with your trim and Android version.

Thanks ⚡

Edit: I received more messages than one person can handle. Sorry if I cannot reply to every one. I have sufficient testers for now.

Hey everyone, Version 1.41 just shipped and this one's mostly about bragging rights:

Trophy cards. Your fleet rank (range or efficiency) as a shareable card, three designs to pick from. Finished 5th out of 78 Prologues? There's now a card for that. Flex responsibly.

Fairer rankings. Comparisons now match your drivetrain: AWD against AWD, FWD against FWD. To every AWD owner who sat at the bottom of the range chart: you were never losing, you were just carrying a second motor.

Smarter charge detection. If the battery level goes up while the car is parked, that was a charge. Groundbreaking detective work, I know, but the vehicle genuinely never reports some of them, and now your efficiency stats stop being punished for it.

In-app support. Send a request right from the app, logs attach themselves. No more "can you describe the problem" back-and-forth where the answer was in a log file all along.

One more thing: two home-screen widgets, range rank and efficiency rank. Because a trophy you have to open an app to see is barely a trophy.
Privacy, since someone will (rightly) ask: rankings are opt-in, the server never sees your VIN or location, only anonymous aggregates, and nothing is served until at least 10 vehicles participate. Full details in the app.

Happy charging!

The car's range estimate is a promise. Your odometer is the truth. The new Insights update puts them side by side:

Real range, measured: between two charges, ReLink divides the distance you actually drove by the battery percent you used. No projection involved.

Winter loss, finally quantified: one line tells you "you lose about X% (Y km) of range in winter, by the odometer".

Monthly breakdown: each month shows the car's estimate and the measured range, with the % drop vs your best month.

Battery health stays honest: the health comparison only uses controlled-condition data (10-25 °C), because heating at full blast in January is not battery wear.

Everything is computed on device from your own history. As always, nothing leaves your phone unless you opt into the fleet comparison, which only shares an anonymized summary.

It supports ZDX, Prologue and Clarity.
