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.

Have had a different experience to a lot of reviews here. Whilst it can take a little time to load, it's clearly presented and works well. Set up was easy, simple to bind to the car, set up a secondary account no problem, and I've used just about all the features so far without issue. It's not perfect, the font is very small and I'd have hoped that the cabin preconditioning would have the option of heating the passenger and rear seats too, but they are minor issues. Much better than Hyundai.

Update Jan 2026: This just gets worse 😰Quite laggy and freezes quite a bit. UI/UX is dated. Took ages to register my partner for digital key, but then neither of us is able to approach the car and use it like the real key. Not able to find the vehicle location on the map, just doesn't communicate with the car remotely. Car was delivered three days ago and the app lets an otherwise good car down. I really hope it improves as I'm stuck with it for a three year lease. MGS5 and Samsung S23 Ultra.
