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.

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.

Just had a software update on my Android phone, since then it's constantly saying request timed out, unable to scan vehicle or basically do anything. Tried rebooting my phone and standing next to the car, nothing works. One year on nearly and it seems to be getting worse. unable to find my car even though it's 5 metres away, plus struggling to charge the battery because of the lack of connectivity .
