Anyone think the MG App is fit for purpose?

[r2uzenblot]

OK I am spoilt as my main car is a BMW I4 and the BMW App has always worked. I have imstalled the MG App and it seems so tempremantal; sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. I sorted out the pairing but more often tahn not I get a message saying 'Vehicl Not responded' even when I stand next to it. I have tried unlocking/locking etc. etc. Is there something I can do or is the App just buggy?

I just set my expectations low and it doesn't disappoint!
Working first time every time is a big ask for MG.

Works perfectly for me.

Not had any problems in the 4 weeks we have had our 2026 model (MG4).

It was a bit flaky early on but does what I need of it.

The App can be a bit of a problem but recently has worked well. AFAIK, It will depend on what you want to do. Some commands are via Bluetooth or mobile signal, eg locking/unlocking whereas others are only via the mobile signal and Chinese servers, eg status. Poor mobile signal no car response.

I always request a status first before refreshing the home page, that seems to awaken the car. But the car can go into deep sleep and unlocking/unlocking is required.

It works fine for me, just as well if not better than my previous Range Rover app.

The connection to my 2022 Trophy was very unreliable. It’s much better but still not 100% with the 2026 Premium

It's really not that bad. I don't see why it should be a deal-breaker for anyone.

My perspective is different. I had the Vauxhall App for four years. Compared to the Stellantis product, the MG App is a breath of fresh air, superb even. You've been spoiled by some German engineering m8..

Never had any issues with it. There's a couple of features I would have wanted that aren't there, such as turning on the AC at a specific time, but I've never had issues with the app not working.
