Comments on VW Car-Net Security & Service for Android
★★★★★
Functional app, but it seems to take a long time to refresh the vehicle status or send commands to the vehicle. SUGGESTION: please remove the blank line at the start of the push notifications - when these notifications are displayed in the Android notification center or as a notificatuon bubble on the app icon, the blank line means you have to expand the notification before you can read it (the blank line is unnecessary and anti-functional)
★★★★★
Love this app. Noticed you said models 2016 and up but mine is 2014 and have all the options that are offered.
★★☆☆☆
The inability to control how often this app tells me my windows/sunroof/doors are open is ridiculous. Take 30 seconds to finish listening to a song before you get out of the car? Get a notification. Pack your car for a weekend trip with the doors open? Get seven notifications. Open the tailgate to grab some groceries, get a notification. Leave your car unlocked for the weekend on a camping trip with no cell service? Get 25+ notifications when you're back online. Yes, you can turn these notifications off, but how about an option that waits a couple minutes before sending the alert? Definitely some potential here and I will admit that it has correctly reminded me to lock the car once or twice, but $200 a year is a hefty price to be constantly annoyed.
★★☆☆☆
The app used to work great. With the last update it just tells you to download the other volkswagen car-net which doesnt work at all. Please bring this app back to working conditions. Why break it when you have a working app?
