No access to a complete menu
Husqvarna mention “a complete menu on your app” is an untruth. The app is a cut down version. You will have to operate the keypad on the mower to do most of the functions. Come on developer please make the app into a FULL menu !
Crashes occasionally and no longer logs in automatically. Fingerprint logon would be a bonus but sadly cure it’s not a function in the app.
Very annoying that Husqvarna system goes down, leaving me to sign in manually and if I choose “forgot password’ I just get unexpected error ! Very annoying!
Having deleted and re installed the app makes no difference.
Please improve the app ASAP.

Good app but needs more
Overall works good as long as your mower doesn’t lose connection. Would be great if Automower could also be set to Wi-Fi as most home Wi-Fi cover the area around the house that gets mowed.
Also, scheduling needs some rework for ease of use and real use cases. The main use case that cannot be done is setting number of days between mowing. Every other or every third day cannot be scheduled when you can only do a special day of week time based schedule. One would want both to be possible. Also, it would be nice to set temporary scheduling for things like weather tomorrow so don’t mow.
Machine maintenance: would be great to have a basic timer that tracks number of hours mowed since last service for things like cleaning and blade changes.

Please fix this new app - it’s terrible
The old app worked well. Told me when the mower was working, what it was doing, and I could control the mower from my phone. The new app shows my mower as constantly “disconnected” but still mowing - it makes no sense. The accuracy of the map is terrible. I used the old app to tell me where the mower was stuck - now I cannot. I also cannot stop or start the mower any longer from the app! Why would you take this useful feature away? Please bring back the old app or fix this one. We paid so much money for this mower - the easy part should be the app.

AMC v3 Seriously Flawed
Credit where credit is due; v3 of the app is now excellent following several updates to correct bugs. All those in my original review (in parentheses below) are resolved. I have two robotic mowers; controlling them, viewing their status and altering settings via the app is now clear and straightforward. The move to Google mapping is a welcome enhancement.
(V2 of the app seemed to generally work well. V3 (the current version) has so many bugs: no way to clear alerts; incorrect display of dates; unable to ‘Park Until Further Notice’ despite selecting the option - it shows the next start time in the ‘Timer’ menu; geofence radius doesn’t display etc. etc. I have reported these issues to Husqvarna and await a response and updated app.)

Older version was great - this one is terrible
I had zero problems with the first version of this application for the automower 450x. However, this version 1.) does not update what the mower is doing (it will show it as disconnected when the mower is running), 2.) does not have same functions for controlling the mower (park, start) and changing settings, and 3.) generally is less user friendly. Husqvarna would make this customer happy by returning to the older version, or fixing this so that is has the same function as the first.

Why does the app persistently lose the password
The refreshed ui is an improvement. At least now we can see the battery level. But the constant loss of the password, unlike any other app on my phone, is extremely annoying. I had to change it from a complex password to a simple one to make this more useful, at the expense of security. Hey, this is a lawnmower app, not a banking app—there is no good security reason for inconveniencing users every couple of weeks. And you are encouraging weaker passwords.
Please make it possible to start the mower from the app when it now requires a manual start from the dock. I don’t see any good reason for this gross inconvenience.

Awful! Bring back the old version!
This new version is useless! I never write reviews but this update is so BAD I felt compelled to! The notifications use to explain what was wrong with the mower and did it in a fun way. Now notifications are generic, when they come through! You use to be able to zoom in on the map to find out exactly where your mower was, not anymore. And you could follow it around in somewhat real time. It was easier to navigate to the map and the mowers info. I don't care about the battery percentage, bring back the easy of use of the old app and the fun of the notifications! Such a disappointment especially considering the cost of the mower.
