myBuick

I give it 5 stars because of all the apps that are out there, this is the best that I know of!!! My friends with their BMWs, Mercedes, etc. have nothing compare to this app and they are envious as I’m warming up my car using the app while out to dinner. I love it even though sluggish (slow) at times but it does the job!!! Can it be better, ABSOLUTELY, but no other make of car has anything over GM so I give you your praises especially because you made the app available on my Apple Watch so the days I’m walking to my car and can’t quite get to my phone I just open up the app on my Apple Watch and presto my car is started and yes sometimes it takes a minute and yes sometime you have to redo it because it didn’t take the 1st time, but I have the ability to start my car, open or lock my car doors from my wrist!!! You can’t ask for anything better today!!! I encourage GM to work out the bugs but great so far!!! You have my vote!!! I love my Buick, the app and my car!!! 😆😘😆

I love this app. I love even more that I can start my car from my watch. What I don’t love is after I start my car twice remotely. That’s all I get. I really wish you could at least unlock your car on a third time option. Here’s why. Because when you go to dinner on the coldest night of the year. You take two cars. Your husband leaves early. Takes both sets of car keys. (Because he forgot you were using his keys) not thinking you use your remote to start, twice. Then go to Leave with your friends. Then realize your keys are in the car and you can’t remote unlock your car. There’s a tow ban so no tow truck can help. You have to find a way to get home round trip 40 minutes for keys. (Because your husband is working a double the next morning) that is all carry on and enjoy the chuckle. I have several times.

So I work in cellular, everyone offers things like this car monitoring , road side assistance, remote start. What makes this the way to go is it’s by your cars manufacturer, I like to go to the dealership not because the tech in the bay is 35 and has held a wrench since 3 but because it’s a dealership. This app works when you’re using it. I have to go section by section and update to see what the cars status is. If my tire is low I want to get an alert on my phone, not go to where I’d find tire pressure drag it down and release wait for it to load and then know, by that time I’m already in my car driving. Even if it being more live, or if it automatically updated when I open the app would be great. For the first week I was just opening the app and thinking the app was updating with me opening it, boy was I wrong. I’ll tell you I love he buttons on there, the point there’s added security when opening in, turning on etc. But would love the app the work outside of me having it opened if that makes sense.

Love the concept of this app. Primary use case is to be able lock my keys and iPhone in my Regal, go for a run in the park, come back to my car and unlock it with my Apple Watch. Should be simple enough, but it’s a roll of the dice every time I come back from my run - could take 10 seconds, but more often takes much longer. I look and feel really dumb standing outside my car sweating in the sun while I keep clicking on the unlock button, eventually rebooting my watch, hitting it a couple of more times, then finally getting it to work 15 minutes after I started. There’s clearly message queuing issues between the Watch app and iPhone app. And speaking of that, at this point in the development lifecycle, there’s no reason that a cellular Apple Watch should need to be connected to an iPhone in order to work; it should be able to connect directly with OnStar web services.

I have been leasing cars since 2016 and not only one car but two simultaneously. I loved using the app solely because of the remote control. When my car is parked too far away from building, I am able to use the app to remove start and to be able to know that it is successfully done. But just a few weeks ago, it turns out, the remote control function isn’t free to leasing car owners. And the cost to use the functions on the app cost $10 per month. I don’t understand why they need to charge $10 monthly for this since technically the remote control is the same thing as having the key but just using it on the app. Every other automotive company like Ford and Toyota that I know of let’s their lease owners use it free and/ or is included. I CANT BELIEVE YOU HAVE YOU PAY $10 PER MONTH TO USE THE REMOTE CONTROL FUNCTION ON THE GM/ BUICK APP. 😡
