### 4/5 — Deleting History

*2026-06-27, version 3.1.24*

Have to use this 20-30 times a day for one particular BMW application and the history list becomes long over time. Users with non iOS devices don’t appear to have to delete the history manually. Can you change it to auto delete for iOS or at least give us a delete all history button please!!

### 1/5 — Just awful

*2026-05-06, version 3.1.24*

Hard to set up, hard to use, there is nothing positive in my experience with this app.

### 1/5 — Einzige Katastrophe

*2026-03-27*

Einfach nur schlecht. Benachrichtigungen werden auf der watch angezeigt und bestätigt und was passiert, genau, nichts! Also App wieder manuell öffnen und bestätigen. Eine absolute Katastrophe.

### 1/5 — Push notifications always disappear

*2026-01-27, version 3.1.24*

Up until the latest release a month ago, the first notification of the day would disappear and following notifications would be normal. Now all notifications disappear. This update was a step backwards.

### 3/5 — compatibility

*2025-11-04, version 3.1.23*

app works fine on my iphone, it would be even better if i could authorize authentication on my apple watch though. so if the app could be used on my watch that would fantastic.

### 1/5 — The worst

*2025-10-27, version 3.1.23*

This app is a complete disaster. It’s bad enough we have to use this app but it constantly crashes and the notification disappears so you have to open the phone and find the app to be able to use it.

### 2/5 — Could be better

*2025-10-02, version 3.1.23*

The app banner disappears too quick. Could not authenticate at one point and the hassle to try and figure out why it would not work was so difficult

### 1/5 — Poor

*2025-09-23, version 3.1.23*

How have you not fixed the issues when enrolling a new organization?

### 1/5 — Bad response time

*2025-09-15, version 3.1.23*

The app doesn't respond quickly and Multiple failed attempts causing slower operating times at the dealership.

### 2/5 — Glitchy

*2025-08-18, version 3.1.23*

The smartphone push notification often does not appear on screen to press accept even though you can see the it in the banner notification. Very annoying because it is intermittent. Restarted the iPhone to fix it a few times. Also it should not require login so often
