Ads in my notifications

Sends ads to the same notification channel as useful vehicle updates. Abusive software design by BMW.

no option to turn off spam

constant notifications about “offers” and new products I didn’t ask for and can’t turn off

Country S Red

Nice

Hate updates

I hate the damn updates. Always has to be on a flat surface. Not everyone has that.

Love this app,

Love how I can get help with finding my mini as well as starting the air flow! I still have so many things to learn more. These are so far my favorite.

Too much selling

A lot of selling, but little substance (see Tesla’s app)

Sale of data

I’m all for upgrading software as necessary. I absolutely do not want my data sold out monitored. I expect better from Mini.

Auto start

I need auto start

If you lost the app on your pre-2019…

Here is a navigation solution since Mini won’t tell you this, and will not fix the problems the loss of their app caused for people who have navigation systems.

First, look up your trips using Siri via Apple Car Play so it accesses the Maps app on your phone, not using the mini assistant nor the mini nav screen. (Hold the button on your steering wheel longer to get Siri instead of the mini assistant.) After Siri locates your destination on the display, there will be a small icon that looks like a paper with an arrow next to the destination name; pressing that will give an option to transfer it directly to your mini navigation. Then it will use your car navigation for the trip: heads up display, etc. as if you set the destination through the mini navigation.

Super easy, and routes are arguably more accurate than the mini navigation. You can pre-plan trips and save them in your iPhone’s Apple Maps to pull them more quickly, if that is your need.

My 2026 CooperS

I’ve owned several Minis now and have been problem free. I love the handling, the ease of parking, the gas mileage. One minor problem- at least I hope it’s minor. Press the accelerator and nothing happens for about two seconds. Instinctively, you press harder, and the transmission engages and you lurch forward. This can be serious if you’re backing out of a parking spot. Or if you’re on a slope and you’re in traffic. I’m hoping the service people can adjust this.

All I really care about is CarPlay connectivity and it’s very glitchy

Nice little freeware

A little bit slow but probably because it’s free. Information are useful except using it to make appointments…mostly are selections can not reflect the real issues

Sales/Service

Received a great tutorial on the car's tech.

My mini

Nothing but praise.

It’s a piece of ***

The software makes everything unusable

Too slow

Way too slow to control my car

Best app

I can not get enough with this app!
It’s so easy to work with and so reliable!

Update

Asking to
Review even before update is done - NOPE

Enzo

Love my BRG Countryman

Great app. Could improve.

I’ve had my Mini Cooper for a little over a month, so I’m still learning some things, BUT there are 2 things that the app does not currently feature that would be nice to have. One, the app can tell you if your windows are open, but even though the car is capable of closing the windows on its own, you cannot tell the app to close them remotely. Two, the Personal Mode allows you to select your own images from your photo library, but it only lets you store 3 personal images. Why the limit? And why only three? No reason I can tell to not allow more.
