Ratings and reviews

Its pretty basic. Considering mini make such a big deal out of it you would expect better. I tried to book a service through it. Wouldnt work just got into a doom loop of going in circles. Use it to check the car is locked and turn on the fan and maybe send a destination to the car for the sat nav. But that's basically all. Not much to see here really...

Don't even bother downloading this app. It never works. Even if you manage to get it to update to real-time without crashing, it will crash and ask you to send an error report when you click on anything in the app. I have sent hundreds of bug reports - I don't think anybody even looks at them. I just hope I never actually need this app for anything because it is utterly useless.

Very dodgy status messages for mini electric, starts charging immediately when plugged in even though I have scheduled for overnight on cheap rate which then costs me money. Stopped via the app and then says supply interrupted check your connection. No consistency, can't rely on what the charging status says. Also every time app is updated I have re- enter my login credentials. Take a look at Tesla's app to see how it's done properly.
