Ratings and reviews

Cannot add my vehicle because the service is continuously unavailable. Instructions to visit the "Mini Connected website" is useless because miniusa just directs you back to the app. Absolutely the worst part of my Mini experience so far. Edit: Once connected, the app also drains your battery just sitting in the car, and the remote commands take so long to be transmitted you're better off walking to the car and doing it yourself. Can't even turn the engine and heating on remotely in the morning

The app experience has improved significantly since I started using it in Nov 2022. The remote services (like climatize or lock/unlock) and login are much more reliable now. One feature I wish it had was to set charging schedule by day. In the app, I schedule charging to start at 9p, but I can't set it to charge immediately on weekends when power is also cheap for me. Lastly, a "charge now" or "ignore schedule once" function would be useful for charging when away from home.

It's got great potential, but... It's clunky to navigate, and many clickable elements are different parts of an infographic like a pic of the car. It has settings for notifications, but I never get any. And yes, I have battery optimization turned off, and it had full notification permissions. I would love a "your vehicle is not plugged in" message at a time I can schedule. Also the record of charging sessions is nice, but it would be even nicer to have access to that data outside the App.
