### 1/5 — Not good.

*2026-03-03, version 3.14.1*

Battery drain
Ever since, known well at the dealership, I downloaded the app the iPhone battery as gone down 10% without even using the phone because I am at work.

### 1/5 — Another GM fail

*2026-03-02*

Not everyone has a brand new phone at work. Why would you make a simple program no longer work with old iOS? Worked just fine before.

### 1/5 — Can’t log in anymore

*2025-08-04*

Used to be a really good app. Ever since Microsoft entered the app is trash. Can’t get into it. GM is no help

### 1/5 — Why does gm need to collect and sell my data?

*2025-04-23*

App never sends the email I have to manually do it. Trash app

### 1/5 — Log in

*2025-03-07*

Used this app all the time with no issues. They update to this new log in and needless to say they broke something that worked fine. Leave Stuff Alone!!!!!

### 1/5 — App is very buggy

*2024-06-20*

The app is very buggy. There is no notifications when a response is given. When looking through history for an older pra, a pra won’t be there but close the app and reload it will magically appear.  The app wont zoom properly to take photos.

**Developer response:** Hello. Sorry for the issues you are experiencing on the CSMT app. Please fill out an Escalation Report Form, which can be found under CSMT support. Once the form is submitted, our IT team can begin investigating the issue. Thank you!

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2024-05-13*

App is junk, can’t submit parts, can’t add photos to fprs that were taken outside of app. Why are you forcing Canada to use this pos. Go back to the old way that worked.

### 2/5 — Unable To Focus Camera

*2023-02-28*

Pretty handy on the Samsung I have but when it comes the iPhone 14 Pro I’m unable to use it for scanning the QR code such as for the heated ventilation seat modules. Not a big big deal since I could use the secondary phone. But could be an issue with others. If that could be resolved that would be fantastic

**Developer response:** Hello. Sorry about the inconvenience. Please center ONLY the QR/Bar Code portion of the label within the red brackets. In case the issue still persists, kindly send the error details using the "Send Feedback" feature along with the Application Logs so that we investigate the issue.

### 5/5 — Rpt

*2022-11-22*

Great tool. Should be able to do more than 
One part at a time  that’s the only down side for now

**Developer response:** Thank you for your review. We're always working hard to improve the app and appreciate any feedback for future enhancements that we can incorporate.  Please use the "Send Feedback" feature in the CSMT Application to forward your ideas directly to our team.

### 2/5 — Email Submission of RPT

*2022-05-19*

I just downloaded the app today to submit an RPT for RRAB recall and when submitting the RPT, I got a message that said the app uses the “default Mail app” and that I have to set up an email in the default Mail app to submit.
It would be better if I could choose which “Mail app” I want to send the email from (default Mail is my personal email; Per IT, I have to use Outlook for work email), or if the app could submit without using email since we have to sign in with our GM Global Login ID and password. 
Also I HAVE already set up my “default Mail app” with an email so I don’t understand why I couldn’t submit the RPT.

**Developer response:** Hi Alexander, we apologize for the confusion.  We are working on an enhancement that will pull up the user's default email application when sending a RPT email.  In the meantime, the app currently brings up the Apple email client, which has your icloud account and other emails set up in the Mail Settings. 

In case the issue still persists, kindly send the error details to csmt@gm.com along with the Application Logs so that we investigate the issue.
