Major Highlights of the Week

Subscription Confusion
Users are frustrated with unexpected subscription fees for features that were previously free, leading to dissatisfaction with the app's value proposition. This confusion is exacerbated by the lack of clear communication about which features require payment.
I was shocked to find out I now have to pay for features that were free before, like remote start.
Login Issues
Frequent login prompts and app logouts are causing significant user frustration, impacting the overall user experience and accessibility of the app. This issue is particularly problematic for users who rely on the app for essential vehicle functions.
The app keeps logging me out, and I have to log in every time I want to use it, which is very annoying.
Update Loop
Users are experiencing a frustrating loop where the app repeatedly prompts for updates, even after the latest version is installed, rendering the app unusable. This issue is causing significant disruption to the user experience.
The app keeps asking me to update, but I've already installed the latest version, and now I can't use it at all.
Remote Start Limitations
The remote start feature is limited by unnecessary restrictions, such as shutting off when doors are opened, which diminishes its utility and frustrates users. This limitation is seen as a significant drawback compared to competitors.
It's frustrating that the car shuts off when I open the door after using remote start; other brands don't have this issue.
Feature Removal
Recent updates have removed or limited previously available features, such as trip data and interior temperature display, leading to user dissatisfaction. Users feel these changes reduce the app's functionality and value.
I can't see the interior temperature anymore after the update, which was a useful feature.
Charging Control Issues
Users are unable to set specific charging parameters, such as amperage or precise charge levels, which limits the app's effectiveness for electric vehicle owners. This lack of control is a significant pain point for users.

Quotes of the week

Hear from some of the most impactful users to drive changes

The app is a thinly veiled attempt by Mercedes to sign you up for subscription services. There's not a lot of functionality and normally I wouldn't bother to rate it. However, I got my year-end offer to subscribe to digital service so I thought I'd find out what it would cost. I couldn't because my car wasn't recognized. So I deauthorized it and reconnected. Now all my user profiles need to be set up again.
A Google user
The app is not working. It is always something. It keeps asking for updates, but I can't even log in. It is very frustrating.
A Google user
The app is great, but I would like more options to adjust in my car.
