### 3/5 — Missing features

*2026-08-23, version 2026.6.12*

Missing ability to lock and unlock the car. 
Can’t leave the environmental controls (AC or heating) on overnight while camping (it turns off after 30
Min).
Sometimes the App doesn’t work correctly to set the battery settings, and requires going down in person.

### 2/5 — Sync

*2026-08-23, version 2026.6.12*

Data not synchronizing properly with id4

### 3/5 — Better but not perfect

*2026-08-21, version 2026.6.12*

Get better Since spring of 2026. But still not perfect and wish more functions

### 3/5 — Worng colour displayed

*2026-08-19, version 2026.6.12*

For a Couple weeks my car in the app gets displayed in wrong color. Not a big deal but supposed to be in monument blue but it’s indetified now as a black Gli :) not sure why.

### 3/5 — Navigation

*2026-08-16, version 2026.6.12*

Map is working very slow I can’t tracking my car I mean the GPS is not showing up well most of the time is wrong

### 4/5 — Works decent

*2026-08-15, version 2026.6.12*

Sometimes app freezes and locks up with no access to functionality options. No matter how many times you close and reopen the app it won’t work for hrs or days. Other than that it’s good

### 4/5 — Remote access

*2026-08-15, version 2026.6.12*

Love that I can lock my doors remotely and turn on the AC. Really wish I could adjust charging limit remotely too, eg. from 80% to 100%.

### 3/5 — Basic

*2026-08-14, version 2026.6.12*

Application très de base nous devrions être capable de barrer l'auto à distance au minimum.

### 2/5 — MyVW review

*2026-08-13, version 2026.6.12*

It’s kind of basic compared to other brands but works ! Simple

### 1/5 — Brutal app

*2026-08-13, version 2026.6.12*

Almost every time I go to use this app I have to re-sign in. Then sometimes not all of the options of the app (door locks for example) will come up and I have to restart. Not great when you’re running from one meeting to another and want to lock your doors and be walking into work at the same time

### 1/5 — Extremely unreliable, Unusable for months

*2026-08-09, version 2026.6.12*

The app worked fine for the first year after I bought my vehicle, but it has been virtually useless ever since. It throws constant error messages and only functions maybe two days out of two months. I contacted support, but their only advice was to "give it time" which isn't a real fix. Extremely disappointing experience for a modern car app.

### 3/5 — Too many errors

*2026-08-09, version 2026.6.12*

Trying to start is hit and miss.

### 1/5 — Slow and glitchy

*2026-08-09, version 2026.6.12*

This app compared to the ford app is very disappointing. Only works 50% of the time and having to use a code to confirm location is annoying. Ford app you can also control hvac and heated/cooled seats and wheel.

### 3/5 — Poor range on remote start

*2026-08-07, version 2026.6.12*

I have to be right in front of my car to get the remote start to work.  Kind of defeats the purpose in the middle of winter.

### 1/5 — Trash

*2026-08-06, version 2026.6.12*

way better apps and services out there that are lifetime, unlimited, have apple shortcuts, and an easy ui. You have to press doors then unlock then it takes 10 seconds. Not impressed with this. Also a complete waste of time that you have to reenter a passcode to start your car before being in a rush to work.

### 1/5 — Golf R 2024

*2026-08-06, version 2026.6.12*

I'm constantly getting erroneous messages saying that my car is unlocked when it is locked. It's disappointing that I cannot start my car in the winter using the app like every other car up in the world…

### 1/5 — Notifications

*2026-08-05, version 2026.6.12*

The app will send me notifications that my vehicle is unlocked even though I’ve just locked it with the key fob. Created doubt and worry for if I actually locked and secured the vehicle.

### 1/5 — Always in French

*2026-08-22, version 2026.6.12*

Why is this always in French?  How can I change it to English?  My device language is already in English but app still in French

### 1/5 — Basic

*2026-08-21, version 2026.6.12*

The ID Buzz Monitor app offered way more information and features, which means they are available, VW is just choosing not to expose them to us. This app is basic and an embarrassment to VW engineers. Love the Buzz but this app and related functions are an absolute joke.

### 1/5 — VW App

*2026-08-19, version 2026.6.12*

Minimal functionality given what has been available for 10 years.

### 1/5 — Awful.

*2026-08-19, version 2026.6.12*

Quite simply does not work and hasn’t worked for months and months.

### 1/5 — App Review

*2026-08-16, version 2026.6.12*

1 Star as the App rarely works.

### 1/5 — Useless App

*2026-08-16, version 2026.6.12*

Not only is it always logging me out, but also forgetting my username. 😡

### 1/5 — Poor Roger’s coverage in NL

*2026-08-16, version 2026.6.12*

We cannot use the VW app for controlling our SUV remotely due to poor Rogers coverage in our area and NL in general. VW Canada don’t allow the vehicle to connect through Bell network, which is what my Toyota pickup uses, and it works great in all NL. Recommendation for VW Canada, allow the customer to pick their preferred cellular provider, due to lack of network coverage outside urban areas.

### 1/5 — 👎 Horrible app

*2026-08-15, version 2026.6.12*

👎 Whomever developed this app, has no interest in either UX or efficiency. Completely useless.

### 1/5 — Junk App

*2026-08-14, version 2026.6.12*

Doesn’t work, car connected but none or the features are work

### 1/5 — Terrible App

*2026-08-14, version 2026.6.12*

Works 10% of the time. Remote start never works.

### 5/5 — Tiguan 2024

*2026-07-24, version 2026.6.12*

If the car was good as the app I will be the most happy guy, since I get it, I went and I still going to the dealership to replace something. Screen, turbo valve, belt, windshield popped every time without any issue…
Windows went down sometime on one click and sometimes several ones…
