Ratings and reviews

Despite the other negative reviews, it seems to work fine on my MG4 Trophy edition. The app's connectivity to the car is a bit slow (even if the car is connected to home WiFi) but after ten seconds of waiting, the status is updated and the functions are available. It would be nice to be able to send climate control / location commands without having to wait for the status update first. I'd also like to see integration with Google Wallet's car key feature instead of having to use the app.

Edit: The app doesn't work. I cannot remotely control the climate it errors every time. It also keeps saying the car is unlocked when it's not. The app is so unresponsive especially since the upgrade. It doesn't defrost the windows properly or at all sometimes. The temperature setting doesn't make it to the car so often runs on lo. Have to keep restarting the app.

I have had no issues with the app for the first three weeks, however I lost connection with the car about 10 days ago and I am unable to connect the car. I have tried several times with no success. I don't think this was due to a recent update as it didn't stop working immediately after the update. Update about issues: still not connecting! REALLY FRUSTRATING! Update: still having problems after a year. AWFUL!!!!! IT KEEPS ON LOSING CONNECTION AND CANNOT CONNECT AGAIN
