Same here...I think it's junk.
I have a question for those who have no issues with it:
can someone time how long it takes for a simple command to complete?
Make sure your doors are unlocked before you begin.
1. open the app
2. start a stopwatch
3. tap Lock doors, confirm.
4. wait for the doors to actually lock
5. stop the stopwatch
My results vary. The best time I have seen is 18 seconds, but often it runs for about 1:30~2:00 minutes and then it just times out.
Even at the best case 18 seconds -of waiting and staring at my phone- it does not meet my expectation of how an IOT device should perform. All the home automation products I have used are tap & forget, and they complete commands within a couple of seconds at most.
Reloading the remote camera image succeeds maybe 1 in every 10 attempts. The other 9 times it times out.
Everything about the 5 series BMW is top notch, premium quality and feel. I think they should do a better job with the mobile app.
