Reviews Summary

Control the narrative

I have little doubt Porsche did not expect a horrible app experience, but it was delivered.
My message to customers is read recent reviews for the true experience. My message to Porsche is don’t take your customers for granted, you have wonderful vehicles and the experience of owning one is being tarnished by a poor digital experience. Consumers have high expectations requisite with the purchase cost. We expect your digital performance to equal or exceed our mechanical experience.

Disappointed Taycan Owner

I do not usually leave reviews but, unfortunately, the new app is worst than the old app. The old app wasn’t the best but Porsche should be embarrassed with this product. It connects 2/10 tries. The app forces you to login constantly therefore you miss most notifications about charge levels. The location and charge level are frequently incorrect. Not sure why it’s seems they can never get it right!

Basics are Buried

I struggle to do basics in this app. One must guess that charging details can be found by tapping the car image and then selecting “functions” which, itself, in no way looks like a button.

Separately, my 5G phone takes a long time to connect to the car making the whole business terribly inconvenient defeating the purpose of having a concurrent app.

Seriously Porsche?

Always lagging. Sent destination (a number of occasions) to vehicle; however, I had to then manually enter it in the car’s navigation myself. Then I get the prompt after I’m almost at my destination! Car location and battery status…ALWAYS wrong. Deleting and going back to Porsche Connect, not because it’s the best app, because it’s less awful than this one!

Update after developer’s 1/30 response. The issue is still there. Vehicle is in the dealership being serviced! If the issues still remain after the service, I’ll contact you with additional details.

Update 2/7/22
Issues are still there, obviously there hasn’t been any updates to the app so not surprised!
Every day the app requires me to login! Seriously? Why it doesn’t allow to stay logged in? I don’t understand.
Developer wants to send a message, but honestly, probably that would be a waste of time, since I can see that the issues are not unique to me. The app, and probably the team who decided to roll out such an awful app needs a MAJOR overhaul!!!
Absolutely useless app!!! DELETED.

Not ready for release

Compared to Porsche Connect which this app will replace it is inferior.

In this app I no longer can flash the lights or honk the horn. Why remove functionality in a new app that a prior app featured? Were particularly useful / helpful features. In a car barely 2 years old the app does nearly nothing. I expect far more from Porsche. Too much change, innovation and disruption in the automotive sector for such a poor effort. Big fan of the brand but the remote apps in particular this one are a huge disappointment.

Porsche driving their App in reverse

I really don’t get why Porsche thinks it’s OK to release a really bad app to support the $100K+ car you just bought. They clearly wouldn’t do this a car release.
Not only is the app really bad, it’s actually worse than their previous Porsche Connect app. It has less functionality and is far less intuitive. Some of the functionality doesn’t work and unlike their previous app, this one doesn’t have widgets, but don’t worry because maybe it’s the future functionality they mention several times in the app description.
It’s about time Porsche realized that making well engineered cars is now only half the equation. The other half is in the technology and usability of their technology.

Needs work

Some enhancements everybody want to see. I should not have to tap twice to turn on the heat for AC or lock unlock the doors. Make them all buttons on the home screen. Also add the option to turn on the heat excepts ventilated seats and heated steering wheel. Also please fine tune the server connection so the app connects to the car faster. Sometimes it takes a little too long and my brother is 2 feet away from the car and I have full cell phone wireless coverage. Create a better working iPhone widget i can add to my home screen.

Need A LOT of work

The previous Connect app was okay, and I mean just barely okay. I used it mostly to check fuel levels, tire pressure and doors. This new app seems to have improved the look, but removed some things like the tire pressure overview. Porsche need to really improve this app. It gets 3 stars from me since I've not had any connectivity issues for over a year and the app itself always loads. Really needs more functionality though.

Not ready for deployment.

As a new Taycan owner coming from a Tesla Model S, I was excited to see this app and hopeful for some useful functionality. However, it fails on so many levels and is incredibly disappointing. First and foremost, one of the most basic functions of connecting to the car is an exercise in major frustration. I’d say conservatively 10% of the time it’s actually able to connect to the vehicle. The other times a connection error of one sort or another. This leave me unable to check charge level or even preheat the car. I didn’t expect the same level of function that Tesla has, but this is definitely not ready for the Porsche logo. Although the Taycan 4S is the best car I’ve ever owned, this app is a massive fail.

Widget needed

Nice to see that all apps get consolidated in this one app. Still some kinks and bugs but overall a great move. Just checked and there is no widget available (connect app has one). Please add as quickly as possible. I don’t want to delete the connect app until there is a widget but some of the functions of the new app don’t work as long as I have the connect app installed.
