I give permission to track journeys from within my car, to find i have to repeat the process a few days later. Currently the app hasn’t tracked a journey since the end of July, car used daily! Please sort it out!! ### 3/5 — Frustratingly average *2026-08-20, version 6.7.5* I used the BMW app in my 128ti quite happily . Liked looking at the driving style , average mpg and comparisons with similar drivers. That is absent from this Mini Version of the app completely , unless I am looking in the wrong bit. My car is parked outside of my house on the drive, but the map insists it is parked at a different number . I have contacted the map developer and my house number appears on their master version but not on the Mini version. For goodness sake update the map on the app and give us the same nuts as the Bimmer app. ### 1/5 — Unbearably bad! *2026-08-18, version 6.7.5* Purchased the car as I could remote on the air con to keep dogs cool or precondition the car so we don’t all overheat when returning from a walk, then in the latest mid-summer update this feature stops working. The app is terrible at the best of times but now the only feature I needed it for not working in the peak of summer has made it totally useless! The app (and car for that matter) seem to be aimed at a 12 year old or person with the capacity of, surprise gift this, picture of the car with wheels rolling round and cartoon trees. Grow up! The car and app together are so buggy I would never buy a mini again. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work as before *2026-08-16, version 6.7.5* This is a bit frustrating now! After mini/BMW changed their terms preventing octopus charge the car automatically using a smart tariff charger it very difficult to charge the car. It is very annoying turning it on and off unplugging and plugging in back but end up not being charged by the morning when needed. Despite keeping the departure time the same everyday it just doesn’t charge smoothly as before. I am thinking of changing my car now as this has become my everyday problem. ### 2/5 — Its all about the basics *2026-08-16, version 6.7.5* Congratulations to mini on getting such a high rating for their app and, yes, it does have some very useful features. Unfortunately it still continues to occasionally lock me out of my car when I accidentally leave my phone in the car, get out and don’t remember until I hear the car lock. Tell me Mini, how am i supposed to open my car to retrieve my phone when you have locked it inside???? 16Aug- software updates continue to arrive (although mini never tell you what ‘bugs’ they have fixed …) and my car continues to lock me out or simply refuses to unlock when I approach the car. Can’t believe no one else is seeing this strange behaviour so I expect mini is still trying to fix it (whilst at the same time refusing to admit it exists !) ### 1/5 — Remaining fuel litre amount removed *2026-08-16, version 6.7.5* The update has removed display of remaining fuel amount (in litres, not percentage) that used to show in previous version. The app becomes useless while away from my hybrid model as I have to physical be in the car, switch it on and look at the gauge to check, and the gauge only shows percentage of fuel remaining, not down to litres level either. Now this feature is gone in the app update! Can this excellent away from car app feature be put back please? ### 4/5 — Feature Requests for MINI App & Countryman U25 HUD *2026-08-15, version 6.7.5* I really like the MINI App and my MINI Countryman U25, but I hope MINI can consider adding a few useful features in future updates. First, it would be great if the MINI App could allow owners to remotely check whether all the car windows are fully closed. It would also be very useful to have the option to remotely close all windows through the app. Sometimes after leaving the car, I’m not sure if I have closed every window properly, so being able to check the status of each window and close them remotely would make the app much more convenient. Also, for the MINI Countryman U25, I hope MINI can add turn signal indicators to the Head-Up Display (HUD). Since important driving information is already shown on the HUD, displaying the left and right turn signals there as well would make it easier for the driver to confirm that the indicators are activated without looking down at the dashboard. These would be very practical improvements and would make the overall MINI driving and app experience even better. I hope MINI can consider adding them in future software updates. ### 1/5 — Charging slots move *2026-08-09, version 6.7.4* Don’t expect to have a charged car. If you’re with octopus and you set a leave time for the car to be charged, the mini app will move the time and you have no charge in the morning as it generally moves to the following day. ### 1/5 — Useless *2026-07-31, version 6.7.3* Won’t connect with vehicle. ### 1/5 — ? *2026-07-30, version 5.6.3* ???????????????? ## Frequently asked questions about MINI ### What is the MINI app?
