The app is very basic and unfortunately still very buggy. VW should invest in their app as it is part of customer experience. Problems:1. Car notifications are buggy. Sometimes they just stop.2. The map view starts displaying error message sometimes: SDK not supported. Then automatically it becomes ok.3. Need more features: Remote car lock/unlock, start / stop, Engine diagnostics, Fuel logs etc. Indian car makers are very innovative in their car apps, VW should learn.

This is the most useless app amongst all the auto makers. Likes of Mahindra and Tata have far superior, user friendly and USEABLE app. This shows car has started in the middle of the night, in trip it shows the car is moving, though car is parked it shows idling. Earlier parked or moving status were correct but now it’s totally absurd. No trip details are updated correctly. You can use ‘walk to car’ feature as car is never in parked mode. Is it difficult to make a simple app which works??? Please rectify and resolve the issue. This is going on since last 3 months. Earlier it was not updating trip details, which happens now but it’s too slow. Stats doesn’t comes up for the trip. Please resolve or discontinue this ridiculous nonsense of an aap.

Getting all the notifications regarding engine start / stop , sharp turn and other info..For more info you need to open the app like map and other fuel and rpm related info so i think its good . Geo fence is also working fine.Tracking is also working fine. Overall i am happy with the app, Till now didn't face any problems regarding notifications and other problem like engine start in the middle of the night .. (Will update review if there is some improvement regarding the app)

**Review of the Volkswagen Mobile App: Lacking the Basics**The Volkswagen mobile app is a functional tool for VW car owners, but it falls short compared to the competition. In today’s digital age, where competitors like Kia and Mahindra offer feature-rich apps that enhance the overall driving experience, Volkswagen's app feels outdated and underwhelming.Firstly, the app lacks basic features that are now standard in competitors' apps. For instance, remote start/stop functionality, which is present in Kia and Mahindra apps, is missing. This is a crucial feature for those living in extreme climates where pre-conditioning the car's temperature is a necessity, not a luxury.Secondly, the user interface is clunky and unintuitive. Navigating through the app feels more cumbersome than it should be, with slow load times and confusing menus. This is in stark contrast to the sleek, user-friendly interfaces seen in other automakers' apps.Another significant shortfall is the absence of advanced vehicle diagnostics. While Kia and Mahindra offer comprehensive health reports and real-time alerts for issues, Volkswagen's app provides only the most basic information, leaving users in the dark about potential problems.Moreover, the lack of integration with smart home devices, which is increasingly common in the apps of other car manufacturers, further highlights how behind the times the VW app is. In a world where voice assistants like Alexa and Google Assistant are becoming the norm, Volkswagen’s app seems out of step.In summary, while the Volkswagen mobile app covers the bare essentials, it lags significantly behind its competitors in terms of features, usability, and modern conveniences. For a brand known for its engineering prowess, this app is surprisingly disappointing and in dire need of an upgrade to meet current industry standards.
