Make sure you have downloaded and installed the latest version ofthe app from your phone's app store. Make sure the app is runningon your phone. Some apps require you to register or login to the appon the phone before using them with AppLink. Also, some may havea "Ford SYNC" setting, so check the app's settings menu on the phone.

Closing and restarting apps may help SYNC 3 find the application ifyou cannot discover it inside the vehicle. On an Android device, ifapps have an 'Exit' or 'Quit' option, then select it and restart the app.If the app does not have that option, select the phone's settings menuand select 'Apps', then find the particular app and choose 'Force stop.'Do not forget to restart the app afterward, then select "Find MobileApps" on SYNC 3.
Sometimes apps do not properly closeand re-open their connection to SYNC 3,over ignition cycles, for example.
