Pros and cons of OnStar RemoteLink app for iPhone and iPad

OnStar RemoteLink app good for

It took me a couple of weeks to set my own routine for using this app, namely: after a trip I refill my tank and before I garage the car: then 1: open the app on my iPad2 mini, and 2: with the car still running or the accessories on, I thee finger "pull down" the Apps status page to update the Gas Tank and mileage . 3: I wait about half a minute for my actions to updates to my gas tank and mileage status. NOTE: I do not havre a tire pressure monitor. Then I shut down for the evening. The App is a to use. I usually use my key fob to remotely start the car.-- and mostly in the winter months to warm the car up !!

Love the turn by turn directions. Made my first road trip so less stressful. When I got in the middle of a construction nightmare a live advisor came on and got me thru it. I would never go on a trip without it. Love it.

Since the new upgrade to the 4G LTE network, this app works so much better! Its about damn time!

I love this app, I can start either of my vehicle with a tap. Im not sure what all the negative reviews are all about!

We love the remote app. As for the engine running time- we have a bylaw in our city that only allows idling for 5 minutes. However, the phone tab would be nice.

Dont usually have a problem with the app, but every time I try to use the map services today, to locate the vehicle, the app shuts down. Deleted and reinstalled the app, but still no luck.

Some bad moments

If there was an option for a zero this one would take the cake. Top of the line 2014 ELR and I cant even get any vehicle status updates. Hopefully someone at GM is reading this. Might as well pull the app until you fix it, it is completely useless. Slower than my 486 PC.

Since the last update, this app does not work. Used it all the time before, now its useless!

The old app worked great and I used it all the time and loved it. I downloaded the new app and it doesn’t work. It doesn’t seem to connect with the car. Further, it doesn’t seem to have any new functionality that I can see - just a different look. I haven’t had time to spend with OnStar support to get it to work and pressing the Blue Button don’t help - they didn’t know what to do about it and said I would have to call support. I probably won’t bother since, like most of us, who has the time to spend on fixing someone else’s problems? Too bad - it was a good thing while it lasted I caution anyone to rethink “up” grading to the new app.

The last version at least stayed logged on. This I was only able to use once when it was opened the first time. Now i cant even log back in.

Not sure how your supposed to sign up and add your info in order to use this app??

This app is supposed to give access to my new GM WHAT A JOKE! I have called numerous times and still no fix Pull the app and do not try to sell this as a feature for GM products Embarrassing
