The worst experience of any app I have ever used. Logs out all the time!!!
Every month the horrible app signs you out forcing you to sign in as you are about to jump on the bike wasting time fumbling with your phone to have the app work!!!
And don’t get me started on the fact it only logs trips if it’s running as the main app!!!
All this when I purchased a $35k bike!!
Never again!!

Unreliable
This is by far the worst gps navigation tool I’ve used. Location accuracy is awful when used in conjunction with the TFT on my K1600GT, frequently places me on the wrong road and the map spins erratically while it struggles to keep up. This is dangerous when riding on your across unfamiliar territories and isn’t what I expected when I bought into BMW’s connected ride setup. I’ve had these problems since I bought my 2022 K1600GT and I’m tired of the disappointment with the lack of reliability and distracting failures of connectivity. It’s hopeless. Better to stay well clear of this system and either use a mounted gps or other third party software. I’ll be looking elsewhere for my next bike.

CE02 interface
Maybe it’s just the bike and not the app, but I feel there is potential to do more. Also hardish to record journeys etc.
Great bike poor tech
Got a 2014 BMW 640 coupe if only the function and connectivity of my R18 was as good as that!! Poor show BMW

Drops out after a call
I ‘ve been using for a couple of years now, however dissatisfied now as every time a make a phone call my navigation drops out and reverts to basic directions mode. Not ideal.
Update: Just upgraded to an Apple iPhone 12 and now the system seems even worse. The app goes black and turns off any map connectivity at the start of any phone call. I have all the usual settings recommended, permanently on, auto join on the Wi-Fi, no other interference from other Wi-Fi possible connections etc. When I bought my R1250RT new in 2021 I was excited to have navigation and mobile phone connection all in one place, but it seems a complete waste of money!

Utilisation avec iPhone
Testée sur une semaine et 3000 km l’application fonctionne très bien. Dédiez un iPhone pour la moto.
Pour ne pas avoir de coupures aller dans les paramètres wifi du tel, allez sur Modifier et pour chaque réseau wifi (sauf celui de la moto) appuyez sur le rond info et cocher oublier ce réseau .
Dans les paramètres wifi dans Proposer des réseaux : cochez non
Dans Réglages Luminosité et affichage : Verrouillage automatique sur Jamais.
Le seul problème dû à l’iPhone est qu’à chaque connexion un message apparaît demandant de rejoindre le réseau wifi de la moto. Il faut valider le choix. Le mode carte est également un peu long à se lancer. Soyez patient . De préférence créez votre itinéraire sur l’appli BM.

Seit letztem Update Fehler
Bisher war die App super. Leider gibt es seit dem letzten Update vor 2 Wochen einige Fehler. Die Daten werden nur noch bis zur Hälfte der Strecke erfasst. Anstatt 130 km zeigt die App nur rund 60 davon an- angeblich nur 60 km gefahren, der km stand summt jetzt überhaupt nicht mehr, die Strecke wird als Karte komplett angezeigt aber eben keine Daten, Streckenlänge usw nicht korrekt. Bitte dringend ändern. Ihre Links zum App Support leiten auf die normale bmw Seite also kein Ansprechpartner, somit hier in den Rezessionen 🤷🏼♀️

Crashes
Since changing my bike, and it being added to the app, it constantly crashes. Clicking on the icon it opens and crashes immediately. Not impressed
What? No satnav again? K1600 Bugbear.
Such a good screen, such an unreliable system. Wifi drops out far too easily and frequently. If only it were better and also simply connected to Google Maps or similar system.
Long term user
App constantly loses my routes even when im logged in, very very disappointing. Trying to change my password but it wont allow it. The app has become unstable and unreliable. Been using it for over 3 years and it used to be superb. No possible way to contact the app developer
Nav still doesn’t work after nearly 4 years - BMW Motorrad are a joke!
My K1600GA is now nearly 4 years old and the navigation still fails to work. Dealer has had the case open for the entire time I’ve owned the bike and still no fix, what contact have I had from Motorrad - NIL, Marshall Motorrad at Grimsby try constantly to get a fix but I have the impression from my own case and other with the same issue that BMW MOTORRAD just DON’T CARE about customers!

Great App
A nice app that gets you where you want to be. It’s easy to set a route on your phone and transfer to your bike. Skip destination is a great feature plus the ability to expand & contract the view. Just wish it would connect quicker but I can live with that.
Not recording rides
As title says, the app doesn’t record rides only once in a blue moon. Been out riding so many times and when I go to my recorded rides the last one is from 25th of April. This issue has been ongoing for a while and it seems BMW doesn’t really care to fix it!.
Viagem não grava
Nem sempre grava a viagem.
Desloga com frequência
O app em si até que é bom. Falha bastante no marcar o trajeto, com diversos trechos faltando a trajetória percorrida no mapa. Mas o que é mais chato nesse app é que desloga toda hora e precisa relogar, geralmente quando vc está nas piores horas na moto pra relembrar senha, digitar email e ainda ter q arrastar uma figura pra mostrar q nao é robo. Precisa disso tudo? Nao podem facilitar a login por id facil? Custa? Repensem e façam os desenvolvedores utilizarem o aplicativo pra ver as dificuldades.

Was ok - now useless
I just don’t know why this app is so bad. You used to be able to play back a ride and the cursor would move around the route that you had ridden - not any more. During playback now the map of the ride just ‘twitches’ a bit but there’s no cursor showing the position of the bike at that time (to match what’s going on in the graph).
Then there’s the navigation- awful the instructions to turn are not in sync with the bikes actual position. Hopeless

Inconsistent experience
Periodically logs itself out so you lose the speed limit cues and the ride unless you pull over and reset. Integrate this into your checks before you ride off and you’ll be fine!
Generally okay
I like many of the features such as journey recording, data awareness and the maps are not bad. However for a touring bike like a K1600GT, Apple CarPlay and android auto not being a feature strikes me as just bizarre!!!
I hope BMW Motorrad review this and retrofit as an option for something that should be standard.

Connectivity
The app is well designed, although the connectivity with iOS is not that straightforward. I don’t like the idea I have to change my screen auto lock on my iPhone setup every time and for a daily commuters isn’t practical.
Also very often is loosing the sync between the TFT while you are driving / navigate you end up not seeing the map on your screen.
Definitely required improvements. Update, over 3 and half the app still have issues with connectivity!!!
