Love the app

App works great. Have not had any major issues with it since purchasing my car.

Is anybody app crashing?

I downloaded the app and I was able to get myself all registered, but once I open the app and I touch anything the app crashes. Is this happening to anyone else?

Great app

Love my atlas and all the features

Love it

Just got my 2025 VW Taos S and I love it the app works amazing with my car! Just so happy

Stop working some time

stop working for days

My VW atlas

Everything is fine with one exception the keys don’t work to start the car to open automatically we still have that issue which surprisingly they don’t address and is very uncomfortable that makes me think that once you purchase the vehicle they don’t care that’s my assumption

Slow

Too much lag between requests

Takes to long to add a car

First of all: stop deleting my review. Every winter I have to re add my car to the app because the remote start won’t work. Take days for the app to add my car. Why does this happens every winter!? Im on day 3 waiting for app to accept my car.

At My Fingertips

We ALL have forgotten to lock our car doors…now, no worries! Thanks app!

Great app

Love this app so much

Junk app

App worked when I initially set up. Since the first update the only thing it does is tell me if my doors or windows were unlocked when I was driving my car or when they are doing maintenance on the app. I cannot unlock my doors or lock them anymore using the app. I cannot remote stop or start my car with the app. I have tried everything the forums have said from removing the app from phone to resync with car. I hope one day it will be fixed but nope, always broken. But hey I will give it 2 stars because it tells me if I left my car unlocked in Boston while I am in Florida.

Remote start

I’ve had my got for 2 years and remote start is still unavailable even after taking it to the dealership.

Please car status notifications.

Overall it works great after getting connected to my new car.

I would give 5 stars if it updated door and lock status automatically. Every time I get out of the car I have a vehicle unlocked or doors open notification. Can’t this be auto updated?

App glitches all the time

The VW app is extremely frustrating and unreliable. It constantly glitches, and the battery percentage does not update in real time, often showing outdated information. The app also frequently says my doors are unlocked when they are actually locked, which is misleading and concerning. On top of that, the remote climate control takes forever to connect, and sometimes doesn’t respond at all. I expect a much more reliable and responsive app. VW really needs to address these ongoing connectivity issues and improve the overall user experience.

Maintenance Scheduling msgs don’t update

Idk why I still get maintenance notices for service after I’ve already went. It’s confusing.

New Name Proposal: Crash App

I’ve updated my app, updated my iOS, upgraded my phone, offloaded the app, deleted the app, reinstalled the app, registered my Atlas, etc, etc, etc… I can’t get past the info pop up regarding new tutorials. I’ve tried to view and tried to dismiss. I’ve even tried running through everything again after trying each option (with the exception of upgrading my phone). I get notifications on the status of my car and can see it in the background just behind the info pop-up, but no luck on viewing my car as I did before. I’ll update my review when I don’t need a level 15 wizard just to use an app.

MyVW app

I love the MyVW app! You can start your engine remotely from anywhere, check your fuel level, mileage, and vehicle location, all from your phone. It’s convenient, easy to use, and gives you extra peace of mind. I highly recommend getting a Volkswagen and downloading the MyVW app to enjoy all these great features!

Ok

I like the app, however I get alerts on my phone the vehicle is unlocked, I log into the app and then it says it’s locked

Too basic few functions

This app is just too basic with few functions. Some vehicle apps give current information such as tire pressures, oil levels and etc. This VW app only gives you location, remote start and doors lock/unlock features, not bad anyway but not great compared to some other vehicles apps.

VW Tiguan

The app is exceptionally fast and responsive, backed by clear, accurate data. Truly impressive work—great job
