The Chevy app is horrible. That's the problem. Read no further, since the rest of this post is just whining about how bad the MyChevrolet app is.
It suffers from some of the worst "Feature Creep" since AOL instant messenger. I get the "Low range" battery zero thing all the time. For a while it was reporting that I was getting something like 1.3 miles per kwh efficiency. Database corruption that was allowed to persist for the better part of a year. Keypass needs to get re-paired every other week, and the rest of the time the head unit is nagging me to set up Keypass with a big fat stupid window that I can't close and need to wait out for 30 seconds every third time I start the car. Often crashes if there's no internet. Even if you're just trying to Bluetooth Keypass in to it. Eventually works? Buttons are dopey. If the internet connection is bad it just KEEPS ASKING FOR THE PIN. I already have a PIN on my phone. Why can't I opt out off entering it every time for THIS app?
Energy assist: So cumbersome and it'll never be as good as Plugshare or your map app. Stop trying.
Parked Location: SLOW, useless.
At Your Service: No thanks. I get enough ads.
Owner Manual: There's one in the glove box. For the three times you'll ever look at it. or a PDF.
Wifi Hotspot: Don't need a big button to try to get me to pay Onstar for redundant service. A little menu item is fine.
Preferred Dealer: It's called the Map app on your phone. Delete this button.
Watch + Learn: Youtube.
Request An Appointment: Phone app, map app
Roadside Assistance: Phone app.
Assistance: Phone app.
What was up with that driving habits tracker? Who are you selling my pedal positions and speeds to? Is it REALLY gone?
Where's my homescreen widgets for lock, unlock, and remote start? Why can't I change my Hilltop Reserve from the app? Why's it so damn slow?
One thing is for sure - the performance of this app doesn't inspire a whole lot of confidence in Onstar... Not enough to justify the cost of the service anyway....
