### 1/5 — ??

*2025-10-16, version 1.11.2*

Simply does not work.  One glitch after another.  Can’t “find” the internet even with a strong wifi signal.

### 1/5 — The App is rubbish

*2025-10-12, version 1.11.2*

Unfortunately my other car is a Tesla and the digital difference is a joke. 

The car is fine but the App and experience so far is a 1/5

### 4/5 — It’s good

*2025-10-11, version 1.11.2*

It’s a good app, why is it getting so few stars?? It’s got most things you want.

### 3/5 — Buggy and Limited Features

*2025-10-02, version 1.11.2*

App is okay when it works but it’s lacking features. Terrible car set up experience.

Setup is terrible - Spent an hour at the dealership trying to set up my car because the camera in the app to scan the QR code that you have to scan (no workaround) didn’t load. Finally after closing multiple times reinstalling multiple times it just randomly worked. 

Needs some key features:
Widgets - be incredibly helpful especially for an at a glance view of charge status and if the car is locked or not - which is needed given the finicky locking system.

Notifications - Better notifications for unlocking/locking. With how finicky the locking can be, it would be nice to know when it does lock or when it remains unlocked/on and unoccupied.

Honk - ability to honk/flash the lights to help find your car 

Remote view - for ultimate trim you should be able to check cameras/360 remotely

VCFS account integration would be nice to have it all in one place


All in all it’s okay - but I hear the main Volvo app is better so they should merge them.  The car setup experience is awful though and it should not rely solely on a QR code that has no backup/alternative.

### 2/5 — No Digital Key option

*2025-09-17, version 1.11.1*

I have the EX30 Twin Motor Ultra and my app does not show any option for Digital Key addition .. other users do have it ..

### 1/5 — Basics are broken

*2025-09-16, version 1.11.1*

I have to login every single day, the app is unable to keep a logged session.

### 4/5 — Pretty good

*2025-09-13, version 1.11.1*

I would put this app on a par with Land Rover but far superior to VW. It has good functionality and a pleasing design. The digital key+ was super easy to set up and so far it’s worked without issue. I’d love to see a graph of energy use over time (say weekly). The only issue I’ve had is that it has occasionally said the car was unlocked and a door was open - both not right. But it self corrected after a while.

### 4/5 — Invaluable for EX30

*2025-09-08*

Still needs a bit of UI cleanup, but does what I need. 
Viewing car cameras would be a great feature to add

**Developer response:** Dear customer, thank you for your kind words about the app. We’re happy to hear it meets your needs and appreciate your suggestion to add a car camera viewing feature. Your idea has been forwarded to our development team for consideration.

### 5/5 — Works as it should

*2025-09-06*

I never have any issues with the app working (or not working) and it provides all of the features I would use — locking/unlocking, setting the temperature, checking the charge or battery status. I like that I can use my phone as a digital key and that hasn’t been an issue at all. No complaints here!

**Developer response:** Dear customer, it's wonderful to hear that everything is running smoothly and that you’re enjoying the features like the digital key and temperature control! Your satisfaction means a lot to us, and we’re committed to continuously improving your experience. If you have any suggestions or feedback, we’d love to hear from you!

### 1/5 — Pathetic

*2025-08-29, version 1.11.1*

Update - after the developer response no I won’t update my review, just so many things that are such own goals that shouldn’t get through basic testing - and am still convinced responses are not written by humans! 

Even the link to the user manual goes to a page not found - is there any even basic QA testing? (And from a previous review reporting same clearly the replies are being written by AI :-/)
