Attention: The Car Throttle App Has Been Deactivated

Updated: 09 Dec 2024

Hello all,

It’s time to say goodbye to the Car Throttle app. As mentioned in another post, the Android and iOS apps stopped being supported some time ago - they were part of a business direction Car Throttle moved away from, and we no longer had the resources to keep them updated. Due to this, they were removed from the App and Play stores.

We kept access open to the few remaining loyal app users as long as we could, but with an update due to maintain compliance with Facebook’s log-in feature, our hand was forced and we took the decision to deactivate. As of 8am BST on 29 June 2020, you’ll be presented with a maintenance message when trying to load up the app and won’t be able to progress further. Thankfully the solution is simple - head to the conventional mobile site, and you’ll have a bug-free user experience.

I know the app had a hardcore group of fans and we really appreciate your devotion to the app, but it was becoming increasingly buggy and wasn’t compatible with a lot of the embedded features we now use.

We encourage you to ‘Add to Homescreen’ to continue having the CT experience from a single tap.

Thanks for your support.

wow. this app was by my side since 2016 when i used to be a cringy highschool kid, and now, Im a cringy young adult and have to say goodbye… This app has been in my life longer than my GF, my car and most of my friends. Sad to see it go

Time flies my man. It’s crazy. So much in our lives changed since 2016.

OK but do realise the website is not going anywhere. Just the app. You can still access the website.

All good things must come to an end i guess.
I made an webapp from the website, but the experience is just not the same. I don’t even know how to edit comments on the mobile website, or even enable dark mode.
And also i lost all of my in-app bookmarks. :/

Whatever. I’ll try to adapt to the mobile website, i guess.

Same procedure - just click the little pencil icon

I hope people finally get the message now.

faaaaaaak

Real shame. I was wondering why I haven’t been able to get in lately, alongside with losing all images within the app.

I’m gonna miss the app :/

I had no issues with the app, I really liked it :/

That explains why the app stopped working the other day. Really sad to see it go. What’s CarThrottle’s new business direction about? Have they given up on being the biggest car centered social media platform?
