Mau

Sehr sehr langsame App, Befehle werden immer mit Fehlercodes versendet. Bildet Verbrauch nicht ab, was ziemlich schlecht ist. Andere Hersteller schaffen es besser!

Response from developer

Lieber Nutzer, wir entschuldigen uns aufrichtig. Unser Team arbeitet bereits an der Behebung von Latenzproblemen. Bitte kontaktieren Sie uns unter mygenesis@eu.genesis.com mit Ihrer VIN sowie Details zu Verbrauchsanzeige und Remote-Fehlern, damit wir dies prüfen können. Wir verbessern die App weiter.

Fahrzeugstandort

In der neuen Genesis App kann ich die Funktion „Fahrzeugstandort“ nicht mehr finden. Wurde diese Funktion bewusst entfernt oder handelt es sich um einen Fehler in der App? Über eine kurze Rückmeldung würde ich mich freuen, da die Funktion für mich sehr nützlich war.

Response from developer

Lieber Nutzer, wir entschuldigen uns aufrichtig. Bitte nutzen Sie die Fahrzeugortung über das Stecknadel-Symbol rechts > Bereich „Wohin möchten wir heute?“ > Fahrzeug-Pin. Bei weiteren Problemen kontaktieren Sie uns unter mygenesis@eu.genesis.com mit VIN und Anzeigeproblem. Wir verbessern die App weiter.

Can't even sign in!

I have tried to use this app a few times since buying my Genesis car. I love the car, but this app is rubbish. I can't even sign in as the app has become so slow!???
Why Genesis..

Response from developer

Dear User, our sincere apologies. Our team is already working to resolve Latency Challenges as quickly as possible. Kindly contact us via mygenesis@eu.genesis.com with your VIN & Login concerns, so the concerned team can investigate. We'll continue improving the app for a better experience.

Connections keep failing

Terrible app
Bluetooth not auto connecting
Car play dropping off a lot

Response from developer

Dear User. We sincerely regret the inconvenience. This is not the experience we want for our customers. Please write to us at mygenesis@eu.genesis.com with your VIN details about the vehicle connectivity issue so that the concerned team can assist you directly.

Air Con

It would be great to have option to start car and set temperature within the app so car not too hot or cold upon entry.

Response from developer

We regret the inconvenience. You can start your vehicle and adjust the temperature remotely by logging into MY GENESIS, tapping [Control], opening [Climate Control Settings], setting the target temperature between 17–27°C, and selecting [Save]. Please feel free to reach out if you have any further questions, we’ll be happy to assist.

So slow!

Nothing more frustrating than opening the app to preheat the car or lock the doors and then having to wait 20 seconds for the app to start! The old one was super quick! You’ve gone backwards! Please improve it.

Response from developer

Dear user, we’re sorry to hear the app does not meet your expectations compared to the previous version. App performance may vary depending on device and network conditions, and we are continuously working on optimizations to improve speed and responsiveness. Your feedback is valuable and helps us continue improving the app experience.

Nicht alles was neu ist ist auch gut

Die alte App war übersichtlicher und hat auch generell besser gefallen. Wenn ich die App öffne möchte ich z.B. ganz klar und deutlich sehen, ob das Auto verschlossen ist. Die Navigation war klarer zu bedienen und auch die Fahrzeugübersicht war besser zu erreichen. Warum ist es in 2026 so schwer eine Übersichtliche und ergonomische App zu programmieren?

Nachtrag: nun ist es auch so, dass die Applewatch plötzlich meldet, dass das Auto nicht verschlossen ist. Die App muss man dann nach dem Start noch einmal manuell aktualisieren, bis sie dann wieder rückmeldet, dass der Wagen doch geschlossen ist. Wenn man neben dem Auto steht ist das noch schnell prüfbar, aber Falschmeldungen braucht kein Mensch. Ich war froh, das ich nach einem Wechsel von Mercedes dieses Problem los war, nun ist die gleiche Situation wieder da. Es gibt mit der vorherigen App alle a gut, warum muss man sowas ertragen?

Response from developer

Wir bedauern die Unannehmlichkeiten. Ihr Feedback zur Klarheit der App, zu Navigationsproblemen und zur Zugänglichkeit der Fahrzeuginsicht wird mit dem zuständigen Team für zukünftige Verbesserungen geteilt. Wir arbeiten kontinuierlich daran, das gesamte App-Erlebnis zu verbessern.

Nützliche App mit fehlenden Funktionen

Im Großen und Ganzen ist alles vorhanden. Was jedoch schade ist, dass der Realverbrauch bei den Verbrenner Modellen nicht in den Fahrzeiten angezeigt wird. Das wäre sehr nützlich, wenn man den Verbrauch nicht immer manuell ausrechnen möchte.

Response from developer

Sehr geehrter Nutzer, vielen Dank für Ihr Feedback. Es freut uns, dass Sie die meisten Funktionen nutzen können. Den Verbrauch finden Sie unter MY GENESIS>untere Menüleiste [My]>[My Trips] auswählen>[EV energy use]. Sollten Sie diese Information dort nicht finden, kontaktieren Sie uns bitte unter mygenesis@eu.genesis.com und geben Sie Ihre VIN an.

Faulty

Won’t retain my login, so each time I need to do a remote action u have to login. Very user unfriendly!

Response from developer

Dear user, we regret the login challenges you’re experiencing. The issue has been shared with the relevant team and is currently being addressed. Thank you for your patience.

Forced to migrate from GCS

The time has come where we have been forced to migrate to this app from the old GCS app. And now I can no longer track my vehicle and see its last operated whereabouts. It feels less premium and tacky. I have another hyundai and the app is literally the same as this. Why should a premium genesis have the same app features as a hyundai

Response from developer

We regret the inconvenience. Real-time vehicle tracking requires primary/shared access, a registered vehicle, enabled GPS/location, and the latest infotainment OS. We understand your concern about the app experience and difficulty viewing the last location. Please contact us via mygenesis@eu.genesis.com for direct assistance.

Buggy slow

Why is the app so good for Hyundai and Genesis one so rubbish?

Response from developer

Dear User, we regret the inconvenience. This is not the experience we want for our customers. We kindly request you to write back to us with the specific app concerns you have in detail please so we can assist you better. We appreciate you letting us know as we can share it with the team & your feedback improves the app.

Ganz ok …. Aber Probleme mit der Remote-Unterstützung

Die App ist soweit ok. Was mich jedoch immens stört ist folgendes Verhalten.

Das Auto ist an der Wallbox angeschlossen. Ich unterbreche den Ladevorgang per Remote Befehl.
Warum? Ich habe eine einfache Wallbox ohne Schnickschnack und möchte den PV Überschuss effizient nutzen. Kabel bleibt stecken….ich will ja nicht direkt rausrennen.
5 Minuten später startet das Auto selbstständig wieder den Ladevorgang.

Warum dieses Verhalten?

Ich hoffe das wird gefixt.

Response from developer

Sehr geehrter Kunde, wir bedauern die Unannehmlichkeiten. Dies ist nicht die Erfahrung, die wir uns für unsere Kunden wünschen. Bitte kontaktieren Sie uns unter mygenesis@eu.genesis.com mit Ihrer VIN und Ihrem Anliegen zum Ladevorgang, damit das zuständige Team dies prüfen kann. Wir werden die App weiter verbessern.

Batterie Zustand

In der alten App wurde der Batterie Zustand angezeigt fehlt leider in der neuen App. Bitte dringend nachholen

Response from developer

Sehr geehrter Nutzer, wir bedauern die Unannehmlichkeiten. Die 12V-Batterieanzeige wurde entfernt, um die Daten genau zu halten und verlässliche Informationen zu gewährleisten. Wir werden die App weiterhin verbessern, um Ihre Erfahrung zu optimieren.

Worse than the GCS app

Simply doesn’t work. Try to send instructions to the car and they do not go through. Have not been able to use the app for anything. Piece of garbage. The GCS app was buggy but at least it served a purpose. Why force an app that doesn’t work!?

UPDATE: seems to have broken the facility to charge overnight. No idea how as the car says it is still set but worked fine until yesterday when this app was forced on me.

Response from developer

Dear user we regret the challenges in charging. To investigate and assist you further, please write to us at mygenesis@eu.genesis.com with VIN number. Thank you. Your feedback on new app is noted.

Not for me

I’ve tried to like this app but frankly I much prefer the previous GCS app. It wasn’t perfect, but it was more intuitive. I don’t need Smart watch features. And don’t understand what a widget is, or how it works in this scenario. I miss the refresh key. And the quick to access status tab. This just feels like change for the sake of change, as per usual with all tech things. As long as it continues, I will use the GCS app. I hope I’m not forced to use this new app, but I expect I will be at some point.

UPDATE EDIT: after trying it for some more time and wanting to like it, I decided to delete it. Old GCS app is just fine for me. PS. Where is the security with this app? With GCS, I had to use biometric ID before it would let me send a command (a good feature). With this app, no ID is apparently required throughout all features . Surely a serious security weakness??
2nd UPDATE April 1st. I see we are now forced to update to this horrible new version. Why? All the feedback shows nobody wanted this. Very annoying.

We’re sorry to hear that your experience was unsatisfactory. Your feedback will be shared with the relevant team and will be reviewed for future improvements. We appreciate you taking the time to let us know and will continue working hard to improve MY GENESIS APP.

Set Up Issues

Having just acquired a used 2023 Genesis GV60, I have been unable to subscribe (me / my car) to Connected Services in the app. I have spoken with a very helpful agent at Genesis UK but she was unable to resolve the issue which (along with cryptic / unhelpful app error message) has now been escalated. So, thus far, nothing like "plug & play".

Response from developer

Dear User. We sincerely regret the inconvenience. Please write to us at mygenesis@eu.genesis.com with details of the subscription issue so that the concerned team can investigate and resolve it for you.

Dreadful response to help request

I NEVER post negative reviews but I just can’t get answers why this “new” app is so much worse than the old app. I cannot start my gv70 from my phone as I void previously yet no one is interested in responding how it can be done.
So I’ve resorted to SMedia in the hope that I’ll be contacted now??

Response from developer

We regret the inconvenience. Remote control may work after recovery steps like force‑stopping, restarting, or clearing cache. If the issue persists, contact mygenesis@eu.genesis.com. Your concern about customer service will be escalated internally.

Annoying

App constantly requires a sign in. Why? You have a widget but can never use it because I have to sign in first! Do you guys actually use the app yourself? If not live with it and fix it!

Response from developer

Dear User. We sincerely regret the inconvenience. Please press and hold the app > App info > App battery usage > Allow background usage > Enable Unrestricted. Relaunch the widget and verify proper operation. If issues persist, contact support at mygenesis@eu.genesis.com for further assistance.
