additional: found that leaving save pin OFF and the watch popping up for you to input your pin is more reliable. it is all much better. i am fine being prompted on the watch to punch in the pin. GMC developer reached out to me after a review to get in contact concerning my issue with the Apple Watch and using the app. I have no idea if the latest update fixed it or not. But so far its working without having to open the app on the phone first. Prior to the update, there was an ios update. I went with two factor when promoted. Decided I didn’t want it later. Turned it off. After inputting my passcode twice to pair with the phone-a day apart request to use phone passcode. The app of gmc asked for its passcode. Gave it. Tried it out. Worked great! Checked the save pin. It was on. Turned it off then back on. Checked settings in the gmc phone app. It was fine. Just tested the watch app before posting and it worked like a charm. The support tech on this was outstanding all the way. Thanks for any and all that has it behaving and hope it remains perfect.

First off I’ll start by saying this is an awesome app. I love having the ability to check fuel levels, oil life, driving habits, pretty much everything the app contains. The only thing that would make this better in my mind is if there was a 3D virtual image of my truck that I could see, or at least something that resembles it, so I could check if it’s locked, if a door was left ajar, if it’s running, etc. at a glance instead of having to check a log that showed the last time a vehicle function was accessed. That would also give users a chance to swipe between multiple GM vehicles and check their status, or even see them in a garage format. This is just my two cents, and I have no idea how to develop an app or anything like what I described above, so kudos to anyone who can put this into action. Other than that, it’s a great app and definitely very useful. I’m sure once I’ve had my truck for more than 24 hours I will adjust to the app and it’s functionality, and find many more useful features that I haven’t discovered yet. Four stars for now, and I won’t even hesitate to go five stars if this is incorporated into a future update. Great app!

• Since my vehicle uses a fob to start, my keys are not usually readily accessible, . . . my phone on the other hand is nearly always quick access! • I love being able to lock/unlock my vehicle from anywhere I have internet service. There have been multiple occasions I’ve left something in my Yukon for someone to pick up or made plans for someone to drop items off without having to be present. • Starting the vehicle on very cold evenings when the convention starts to wind down, the event is almost over, etcetera is fabulous! No need to be within eyesight of the vehicle. (Just don’t leave a key fob in the vehicle, that will deactivate that option.) • Checking the odometer when having a service, peace of mind via locating the vehicle when my spouse can’t be reached by phone, fuel levels, tire pressure - all are fantastic features! ••• Unfortunately, the app no longer works with my or my spouse’s Apple Watch. We have 2 GMCs that we were previously able to control with the watch, but haven’t been able to since early December ‘19. Miss this feature!

Overall it's a solid app. It does the basic stuff well. I primarily use it for remote start which is great since its essentially unlimited range. I've also been able to unlock my wife's truck for her when she accidentally locked her keys in it. It works well the majority of the time, but can sometimes have an issue with a signal getting through if you're in a parking garage - which I assume is a function of the service provider not the app itself. Overall its a very convenient tool to have. One thing to watch for -- if you have two GMC vehicles on the app, double check to make sure you have the correct vehicle selected. I have started our other vehicle by mistake when it's sitting in the garage. To the developer: it would be nice if the banner image reflected the vehicle currently selected, instead of a generic GMC line up. That would provide an easy identifier for those of us with multiple GMC vehicles to quickly confirm which vehicle is selected. Even allowing the user to upload an image would be a useful option.

I bought my 2020 GMC Sierra and was excited to have the digital access to my vehicle for remote starts, unlock etc. After using the app I am really disappointed with the software/security choices. My wife’s Ford Expedition has the ability to schedule starts I.e. Every morning Mon-Thurs at 0700 the car starts and warms up before she has to take the kids to school. I can start the car with either my watch or the app. GMC excludes features like this, likely due to restrictions from Onstar. The GMC Apple Watch app is completely useless. If I attempt to start my truck on my watch I have to open up my phone and use faceid to unlock the function within the app and then use the app on my watch again to actually start the car. The fact that I have to use faceid every time I remote start the truck is also absurd. GMC missed the mark when it comes to convenience technology that actually makes your life more convenient. Drop faceid requirement for remote starts, add the ability to schedule starts, and let me start the vehicle from my Apple Watch without having to open my phone and use faceid.
