### 5/5 — Don’t shut this down!

*2023-06-09*

I’m leaving this review as a final plead to hopefully prevent this app from being shut down. It’s the only form of digital manual for Porsche that’s this easy to access. Please don’t shut this down!! At least if you’re going to do that, introduce a newer version so we can have actual online manuals.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2023-02-06, version 6.2.5*

Won’t load any vehicle information, just keeps asking to select a vehicle

### 1/5 — Porsche lack of support with Owner’s Manuals

*2023-01-29, version 6.2.5*

As other reviewers have noted, new owners are sent an email saying the “Good to Know” app is useful for downloading owners manuals. When you click on the link Porsche has sent the web page says you now need the My Porsche app update to download the manuals. After clicking on that link the response is, “this is no longer supported in North America”.

Seriously, the consolidated paper owner’s manual provided with the Macan purchase seems to  have an index that refers to “Digital Manual” references for more than half of all car operations, but the catch is Porsche doesn’t provide it to owners. We’re just left out in the cold… the app doesn’t work at all…. very disappointing support…

### 3/5 — I love the app, one problem

*2023-01-02, version 6.2.5*

I love this app! Very helpful. Cannot access any information as whenever I click on a vehicle in the selection it takes me back to a blank home page. I would love to be able to use this app again and will update my review once it is fixed.

### 1/5 — No longer works

*2022-07-30, version 6.2.4*

Horrid

### 3/5 — Does not display on iPhone 13 Mini

*2022-07-24, version 6.2.4*

Upper navigation buttons do not work on an iPhone 13 Mini. The previous version worked better. Otherwise it’s nice to have the user manuals online.

### 1/5 — Model update needed

*2022-06-18, version 6.2.3*

Mid 2022 and no 2022 Taycan models available.

### 1/5 — 2022 models

*2022-04-23, version 6.2.3*

When will 2022 models be loaded into this app?

### 5/5 — Simple and Intuitive

*2022-03-13, version 6.2.3*

The app provides all the vehicle information an owner would need (with one caveat, see below) in a simple and intuitive UI. Kudos to the developers for not over complicating the app.

Feedback to developers: adding maintenance schedules to the app is a must.

### 1/5 — Will not download

*2022-02-20, version 6.2.3*

Unable to download any manuals. Porsche seems to have neglected this app, seeing it hasn’t been updated in a year
