### 1/5 — RIP off

*2026-09-08, version 4.3.0*

First of all, this is highway robbery to make people pay £90 a year to turn on the heating while charging & then once they’ve paid the £90 for it not to work is beyond insulting - not impressed

UPDATE August 2025 the so hasn’t been working for 3 days now :(

Update September 2026 it’s pants keeps logging me out then won’t let me use it - it’s rubbish even if wax free I’d be angry but fir £90 per year it’s unforgivable

### 1/5 — A glorified website

*2026-08-31, version 4.3.0*

A very bad unresponsive web based app with very limited functionality that now is even worse because VW want a subscription. I tried to book an appointment for a service and that failed miserably. This app is mediaeval in comparison to the Tesla app (native, fast, responsive, helpful and full of options and information).

### 1/5 — App does not wok

*2026-08-29, version 4.3.0*

App does not work to change vehicle charge settings

### 1/5 — Chedlite

*2026-08-27, version 4.3.0*

Very Very Glitchy & Poor! This must rank as one of the most frustrating vehicle Apps I have had the misfortune to use. This coupled with the Infotainment system in my VW T-Roc just makes everything so much worse!

### 1/5 — Hopeless

*2026-08-22, version 4.3.0*

It is never accurate consistently says my car is unlocked when it is secure, l give up using this it lets VW down!!!!

### 1/5 — Lew

*2026-08-21, version 4.3.0*

How anyone can give this anything other than 1 star is beyond me. It just doesn’t work. Never updates, cannot lock or unlock. Useless

### 5/5 — Awesome.

*2026-08-18, version 4.3.0*

After speaking with the VW technical team the app is working perfectly. 👍🏻

### 1/5 — Poor app

*2026-08-13, version 4.3.0*

The only app on my phone to give constant issues either from not doing what I’ve asked of it or for the past month it won’t open and no support from vw. Paid for the service plan to get more from app but now app won’t open

### 4/5 — Good overall

*2026-08-13, version 4.3.0*

Nice easy app to use

### 4/5 — App icon

*2026-08-11, version 4.3.0*

Really like the app. Can we get dark mode for the app and widget?
