Integration between sending addresses from my phone to the navigation never works with the new app (yes checked all the settings per their instructions, etc)… the App says the address is sent, it never shows up (hard wired connection or wireless, neither work). You also used to be able to see the s... Show more tats of your vehicle in the Home Screen —mileage of the vehicle, mileage remaining/gallons left in the tank. Now, nothing. Also, under the old app if it was left running and you had it plugged into your connected drive port and connected to your iPhone the app would stay on and open so you could see the information while you drive. Now it turns off once you start to drive meaning you have to type in a PIN or position yourself to use FaceID while driving. At best I’d say this app went from great to half-baked. Buy hey, it has great new ways to now “buy more digital options” while you drive! 👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻

BMW replaced their old app that had the ability to send directions right to the car’s GPS with a less featured and more buggy web app. I was hoping they’d get this new app up to par before disabling the old one, but no such luck! The app looks nicer, but works less good. Very disappointed in thi... Show more s.

My main gripes are:
- searching for directions based on business or landmark name doesn’t come up with as accurate results. The other app would almost always find the location I was seeking, but more often with the new app, there’s the wrong results and I have to google the address and copy and paste.
- sending directions to car is both slower and this app only sends it to the messages section, which requires multiple extra steps to start the gps. The old app would send to the car faster and start the directions on the gps right away.

I, sadly, have not had the positive experience with my 2020 M550 some users have enjoyed with this app. I have been working with the app, always updated, to the latest version, for slightly more than one year. My vehicle rarely receives directions sent to it through the app. The 3D view and even th... Show more e vehicle data such as the odometer rarely work. I can not lock or unlock the vehicle, and I can not remotely vent the vehicle. I have tried using it about once a month for this time only to have had it work for 8 to 10 days in total. In my attempts to make the app function, I have deleted the app, disconnected my car from the connected drive link and then reconnected the car and downloaded the app again. I have done this in several sequences, and I have worked with the BMW Genius line at BMW North America which yielded the same results. An engineering ticket was even created on my behalf by a “Genius”. This was never answered despite my own follow up calls roughly every 4 weeks for about 3 months until I finally gave up the effort.

I am in south Florida, have strong 5G cell service with my iPhone 12, and have fast strong WiFi too. I was very much looking forward to the directions feature and the remote ventilation capability. Having the app fail to work is, for me, worse than BMW never claiming the ability.
