Family Sharing on GO Navigation App
How does my wife sign in? We tried her "MyDrive" creds but that doesn't work.
Does she have to use my info and share my "MyDrive" account?
Thanks

Hi @Herbaldew
Sorry about my late reply. You're correct! Subscriptions cannot be shared under Family Sharing: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT203046

Is this app actually shareable?
When my wife tries to log in using my user/pass it says there is no subscription associated with this account, though I am signed in to it fine on my phone.

Have you set up family Share indicating the up to 5 people you consider in the family?

Since that above post, I have chatted with TomTom and Apple support.
The app can be shared but not the subscription. That is not only dumb IMO but listing as a family sharable app is near to false advertising. You can family share a free app? Really?
The only thing this app does for free is ask you to either sign in or pay for a subscription - I think Apple should remove the family sharing designation so it doesn't appear that your family share members can actually use the app without paying for an additional subscription.

Apple recently announced that App Store subscriptions (like GO Navigation subscriptions) can be shared in Family Sharing groups with iOS 14. We wanted to let you know that we plan to implement this functionality as soon as iOS 14 is available. For more information please visit https://www.apple.com/ios/ios-14-preview/features/

Hi, @lampard, what about family sharing on android?
I cannot share as described, my phone is iphone 6 ios12.
Please explain why ?

Because Tomtom have not yet released a version of the App that facilitates Family Sharing. They have indicated their intention to do so in due course but have not advised when.
