Ratings and reviews

I'd give it zero if I could, and I've now uninstalled it after a few months of trying to use It. Signup is frustrating; it is slow to send commands; status updates are unreliable; vehicle location often doesn't update; it logs out frequently, and requires a difficult to type password be used for re-authentication every time, even though my phone itself is secured. My Opel Mokka is amazing, so why would they let it be managed externally by such a shoddy app?

The app behaves erratically. I actually managed to connect my car to it, but the app constantly gives false information like saying that my door is open when it is not. Very few functionalities are offered and Opel wants to charge for additional ones, which makes no sense because the app experience is awful, no one is paying extra for that. Opel should hire some real developers and re-create this app from scratch, because the car itself is good but the app is a disaster.

The app won't work if it has a conflict with the language settings on your phone, so I had to switch the language of my phone to EN in order to get it working. The authorization requests hectic timing, why won't you let the user postpone it or add biometric authentication? most common issue: you need to drive and the app kicks you out and requests you to input the pin-code or worse - some long ID written on the side of your car, so that you can't turn on the AC or find the car from home. Useless
