My BMW Remote US Reviews

Craptacular--ZERO stars-very lame app

RedCandy

Worthless...I can't believe a prestigious carmaker like BMW has such crappy apps. BMW should be embarrassed. This one is completely useless to me. My $65,000 2014 X5 has never been able to be unlocked by the app. (It's embarrassing that our app is so bad but my friend loves his Hyundai app) So, I have to call the customer service #, how stupid is that? And then hope to remember my password? I can never remember it, then I have to give them my VIN? Big deal--that is not secure at all, anyone can just look on the windshield to get the number! Hyundai and GMC have way better apps that actually function. GMC Denali, you can turn on the actual air conditioning or heat, not just a fan ventilating, and turn on seat ventilation. We should be able to close the windows and sunroof easily from the app. It's either biometrically or password protected that should be more than enough. Lately mine won't even lock the doors, honk or flash the lights because of server issues. So I NEVER update any apps unless they get good reviews. BMW, you need to go back to the drawing board! Maybe hire GMC's or Hyundai's app designers? Annoying that this is so useless, maybe I'll get a Hyundai or Denali next instead of BMW? Come on, it's 2016! Get with the times.

Add convertible top down\up!

Decent app but room for improvement. I agree wth the other comments that you should not need to call to unlock. I would like to see the option to lower\raise convertible top. In Florida, the rain can come out of nowhere and being able to raise the top without running outside would be great. If safely is a concern, make teh feature only work if the car is off.

Can't create an account

So I pick the country, press enter & it goes right back to the create an account screen. Nice intro BMW

So - used to work ok until they just killed all functionality for this for all cars 2013 and earlier...seems like you should be able to own a $70K car for longer than a couple of years before they start telling you it's to old to support...and would be nice if they at least provided some warning or work around. But according to their phone tech, they have no interest in customer support or satisfaction

Finally deleted this worthless app

It's become less functional over time and now it says I don't have an "appropriate" vehicle. Can't believe I paid so much money for this. BMW should be embarrassed.

Worthless...

Can't provide my car location b/c it's greater than 0.6m due to "data protection" requirements?! Lawyer's really got the best of the product team on that one, ha!

Useless

Intermittently worked for a while, but now it does not allow me to log in, reset password, or create another account. This will be my last BMW. Their support for electronics is 10 years behind other manufacturers. Unacceptable for the price!

Worthless

Worthless app. It worked for about a week even though half the time the requests would fail. Now it won't let me log in even though the log in credentials are correct.

Nothing works

BriChi111

downloaded this for a 2013 328xi i just bought, registered everything online and logged in and it fails 19/20 tries if I try to just do something simple like flash lights, it gets to the server and then fails to get to the car. this is garbage for such an expensive “high end” car, the app in my cheap jeep worked 1000 times better

No longer works

I use my Touch login and the screen just stays black with BMW logo. It never launches. It's frustrating.
