Connected service and features depend on compatible network availability. Evolving technology/cellular networks/vehicle capability may limit functionality and prevent operation of connected features.

Ratings and Reviews
Needs a bunch of improvements
Definitely the app does the basic stuff you expect: lock/unlock, engine start.
However, I strongly expect in 2023 to have better UI, as the main page seems to “empty”.
Coming from a Volvo XC40, the app of Volvo had
• a Driving Journal (where you can see every time you drive the car from point A to point B, the distance, the route you be driven, kms you’ve driven and the consumption of this specific trip. The record is for the last 100 days
• Notification when alarm is triggered
• Notification every 30’ if car was left Unlocked.( this notification is also triggered for Apple Watch)
So if the aforementioned are programmed I believe the app would be a 5star.
Constantly reducing features
FordPass application is reducing features, recent example is the cancellation of security alerts.
In general, the UI needs refactoring. Since the features are few, they don’t have to be appear in different groups, and possibly in different tabs. Furthermore, compared to FordPass Pro, the UI is inferior and slower.
Notifications
Notifications used to work. It’s been more than 2 months that I don’t receive any. Nothing changed in settings. Disappointed
