Excellent app

Thank you so much for this app. Please continue to update it.

No luck

I tried several times to fill in the VIN number in order to register my vehicle- to no avail. The app kept telling me that it was not a valid number. That was the first step to start using the app and I couldn’t get past it.

Needs work

Great cars but the mobile app and in-car interface are not at all easy or simple to setup.

I don’t know if I like this app

I am really unable to rate this app, when I try to open and select my country with the drop down, the list is shaded in such a way that it is unreadable. Changing setting and backlight does not help. Can you assist?

Update made manual useless

Just downloaded the latest update and now the manual doesn’t work. The options are too dark to see anything. I just want instructions on turning off the auto windshield wipers but I can’t access anything. So frustrating!!

Great Information

Looking to get a Volvo and going over the manual is really helpful. Only thing, edge swipe gesture should go back to the previous page, not open the side menu

Can’t download manual

Something happened with the latest update and now I cannot access my car’s manual. This used to be a super useful app, now it’s completely useless.

Doesn’t work

Is this app even still supported? I just get an error message when I try to add a manual.

Volvo manual small text

So the brilliant developers working for Volvo can’t figure out how to use the font size settings that are basically automatic if they don’t force an override. You end up with small text and lots of completely blank white space and bad page breaks.

Kinda garbage unless you have newer Volvo

I have 2007 XC70, and I have the original paper-bound manual, but I thought it would have been nice to also have a digital copy directly from Volvo for convenience. In the app, it first asks you to select language, model year of car, and model. 2007 lists one car, the C70, and nothing else. That’s a convertible, right? A little obscure, but ok. 2005, the furthest the app goes back, had a few more options (I recall XC90 was listed, but not S60 or XC70). Lastly I checked 2006 and, luckily, or so I thought, the XC70 was there. So I selected it, the app went to download it, it got to 75% and then reported an error, something to the effect of “the server could not be located”. Is that supposed to mean the page no longer exists? That’s kind of what I suspect given the already-sparse catalog of models that are listed. I tried to download a couple more times to be sure and I repeatedly got the same message. C’mon, not everyone drives a new car, Volvo! I’m annoyed that they don’t do a better job of supporting their older cars. Those P2 Volvos are great cars, and we will continue to see them on the road for years into the future, yet Volvo can’t post a PDF for the 2007 model XC70 in their own app. I didn’t even see the P2 S60. That’s the Volvo I see most of, so to me it’s one of the most common Volvos — and it wasn’t even present here. I won’t gripe too much, because aside from this online experience, the car itself is still very nice, I still have the printed manual, and I am still able to get new parts. Bad app though. Not even worth downloading, I’d say.

Worked with old iPhone Xr, but not the new iPhone 12 Pro

Unable to download manual for: English-United States, 2006 XC70.

I get a notification while downloading at 75% that says “Server error -1003” while using an iPhone 12 Pro running iOS 14.1

I just upgraded my phone from an iPhone Xr that also ran iOS 14.1 but I had zero problems with the app on there.

Update won’t load

Tried updating my app but it stops loading with an error. Now my app isn’t working at all. Please fix.

It’s a manual

Once a month the app is nagging about software update, Volvo has added a new language. This a dirt cheap way of saying…”hey, we’re still here. Don’t forget our brand name”. This has been going on for two years. So called updates. Give me a break!

No 2007 S80 Manual?

Does not include the 2007 S80 manual.

2008 XC90 model year not listed

2008 XC90 Vehicle Year was not listed.☹️ Deleted the app.

用户手册下载错误

每次下载到74%就出错

Started getting telemarking calls in my XC60

1) Downloaded the app earlier today
2) Couple hours later, I got into my car and received a medical bracelet telemarking call over the OnCall connection, within 1 Minute of driving. Simply BRILLIANT!
3) Called OnCall to inquire about the telemarking call, and attendant said “Yes, we’ve received many calls about it, and Volvo dealers have a software patch to block telemarking calls to the car.
4) Called the local dealer service, and of course, they’ve never heard of such a thing.
5) Dealer asked me to contact Volvo again and have Volvo send the relevant information to the Dealer. This is where I started laughing uncontrollably and disconnected.
6) I deleted the app off my phone.

I don’t think this is a coincidence. I think someone is tracking my phone GPS, then paring it with the XC60 GPS. When the 2 match, they call the car #. At least, that’s how I’d do it. LOL

Not all models manuals

Says models back to 2004. I have 2006 S60, it has 2005, 2009 and 2011-fwd so installed and uninstalled, not the quality I have come to expect from Volvo

Not working

Please fix issues in ios 12
Not working in iphone x

Not better than the downloadable PDF

In fact, in many ways, worse. The app doesn’t remember what page you were on, if you switch to another app and come back to it after the app has showdown in the background. Also, the content in the PDFs don’t exactly match the hyperlink version of the manual.

There are so many ways this could be improved.
