Used to work...no longer... – BMW i Remote – North America Review

Was useful to check the charging state while doing other things, and to turn on the HVAC so the air temperature inside was good from the start of a drive. Now simply fails most of the time. Doesn't update the vehicle status, even after a reset, reinstall, or restart of the phone. Forgets login settings and left having to login again and again. Crashes partway through remotely turning on the ventilation system, with no apparent way to fix the hang; even software reinstallation doesn't help. The worst iOS app I've used, and I've used some bad ones. One would certainly expect better from a multinational luxury car maker. Based on the many adverse reviews, and my experience with this software and indeed the software on my i3, I doubt fixes will be forthcoming, and so my advice would be to simply ignore this "functionality" from BMW. They don't take it seriously, so when you consider buying their car, you shouldn't take it seriously either.
