### 2/5 — Location Refresh Not Working

*2026-08-19, version 8.15.0*

When you try to refresh location in this case after 30 mins the button does nothing and does not refresh location. All it does is flash. Closing app does not fix it. Happened since last update.

### 3/5 — Envista preferred 2026

*2026-08-18, version 8.15.0*

Really disappointed with the options offered. No garage opening button, no dual zone, automatic windows down but not up, not even available in the Avenir model. 
connection to Apple Car not working 50% of the time either wifi or wire. I trade my Encore preferred which had all these options and I regret it.

### 3/5 — Still trying to work out everything on the instrument screen. I bought a manual for the car

*2026-08-17, version 8.15.0*

We like the car, but it’s a little difficult learning all the settings on it
In

### 4/5 — Works well but always changing

*2026-08-10, version 8.14.0*

Great app and super useful. The take rate on commands is 9/10 so it’s pretty reliable for remote lock/unlock, etc. my only gripe is how often things get moved around and broken. The UI seems to be changed at least once every few months and then some link or part of the app gets broken.

### 3/5 — Delete a vehicle

*2026-08-01, version 8.14.0*

Can’t delete

### 2/5 — Add gas mileage

*2026-07-28, version 8.14.0*

I like the better the old app you could check mileage and how well you got gas mileage. Go back to showing more about gas mileage.

### 2/5 — New login rules

*2026-07-26, version 8.14.0*

Having to login in every time I want too unlock my car door.

### 2/5 — Takes too long

*2026-07-11, version 8.12.0*

It takes  my SUV way too long to start when trying to start it from the app. As a matter of fact, it takes too long for any input to connect to my SUV. That includes locking, and unlocking the doors. They really need to speed up the time it takes to for your car to receive the commands.

### 2/5 — Cost too much

*2026-07-07, version 8.11.1*

The price steadily increases.  At first we enjoyed the app for less cost.  Know it cost more money with basic features.  Over the 10 years I've paid to much for this service.  I'm not paying $49.99 a month!  I barely use the basic features or the dang WiFi.I have a cell phone.

### 1/5 — GMC Encore technology

*2026-06-28, version 8.11.1*

Terrible all around. WiFi that we purchased goes in and out of working. The MyBuick application picks and chooses when to not error out when turning the car on.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Used to love the app

*2026-08-29, version 8.16.0*

This app was great for the first 9 months I had my new Enclave. It will no longer connect to my vehicle. I've updated the app, removed it and reinstalled. Disappointed.

### 1/5 — Runs slow

*2026-08-29, version 8.16.0*

App doesn't update location

### 1/5 — Sign up issue

*2026-08-25, version 8.16.0*

I was on the fence about getting the OnStar service and this app but they made it an easy decision not to because it won’t move beyond the first page. If they don’t want my money enough to get that right then why would I ever expect them to maintain it for my use. I can’t even sign up to start anything.

### 1/5 — Does not work

*2026-08-24, version 8.16.0*

It did not reset my oil usage when i had my oil change and would not start my Buick when i was 20 ft away??

### 1/5 — Service safety system alarm constant

*2026-08-23, version 8.15.0*

Each time I take my grandchildren with me and sometimes when I’m alone, I hear audible alarm’s and the message ‘Service safety system immeduately’ sometimes with an airbag symbol showing.  Currently it’s in the shop as I feel it is unsafe to drive.  General Motors is aware of the issue as this is not an isolated issue but has no fix. So here I sit paying a a healthy monthly payment for a vehicle I can’t safely drive

### 1/5 — Worse app ever

*2026-08-22, version 8.15.0*

I have a Ford and Dodge and this is the only app that asks for money in order to do simple things like unlock or start your car. Money grab that’s all this is. Horrible service from a brand that’s supposed to take care of their costumers.

### 1/5 — Too many advertisements

*2026-07-27, version 8.14.0*

The full screen advertisements are unacceptable for a service I am already overpaying for.

### 1/5 — Vehicle status

*2026-07-01, version 8.11.1*

I bought my Buick Encore GX ST June 2nd and my vehicle status for my fuel, tires etc is not synchronizing from my car to the app correctly. Please fix ASAP.

### 1/5 — My App

*2026-06-29, version 8.11.1*

I love that I can start my car from my phone but I do not love the fact that the app halfway works most of the time. I’m paying $43 a month and I only get to HALF use my app. This is NOT acceptable and I think Buick needs to revise the app.

### 1/5 — New Features

*2026-06-29, version 8.11.1*

Don’t like some of the new features.  The Start button and a few other things just seem hard to figure out at 1st and to easy for a kid to Start your vehicle.

### 5/5 — I love my view envision. But sometimes my stereo cuts out that’s the only problem.

I give it a 10 star instead

I absolutely love my Envista ❤️❤️❤️

### 5/5 — Never lose your car in a parking garage again!

*2026-08-22, version 8.15.0*

This app has saved me while I’ve been out of town and forgot where I parked my car.  It gives me all the info I need, from how much gas I have, any needed maintenance to the set temp in my car. Everything is easily accessible and simple to navigate. Perfect app. 10/10

### 5/5 — fun drive

*2026-08-15, version 8.15.0*

enjoyable drive Nice speed Poor stereo sound. needs balance improvements

### 5/5 — Glad to have it

*2026-08-04, version 8.14.0*

It is great being able to remotely start the car to get the A/C going before I get to the car in the summer and the heater in the winter

### 5/5 — Works like an APP should

*2026-07-24, version 8.14.0*

If you own a Buick, the myBuick app is a must-have. It makes owning your vehicle even more convenient by letting you remotely start your car, lock and unlock the doors, and keep track of your vehicle’s maintenance all in one place. It’s easy to use and adds a whole new level of convenience to the Buick ownership experience.

### 5/5 — This App💕

*2026-07-23, version 8.13.0*

I love this app down. When I’m at work or home , I can start my car and cool it off before I get in. Very good 1000/10

### 5/5 — Ruby

*2026-07-22, version 8.13.0*

Love the features of this car 🤠

### 5/5 — Chante

*2026-07-16, version 8.13.0*

This app saved my life, my key batter died I accidentally locked myself out of my car. Remembered that I can lock and unlock my car through the app.

### 5/5 — Envista
