Information retention
The app does not adapt logically to my input. For example, if I input that I have charged to 80% instead of the suggested lower amount, it will sometimes ignore the input or deem that I have charged to 100%.
I don’t believe that it ever properly addressed the plan to stop at a hotel. I couldn’t report what it actually did because it would do something differently each time we stopped along the route.
Perhaps the app would work better if it communicated directly with the car, but I didn’t keep the “BlueLink” app when it expired.
Conceptually, the app is good and would be worth keeping. I don’t think it is ready for prime time yet and certainly not worth the subscription cost.
- Where does this happen?

Sorry about your experience - we acknowledge that manually entering current car SoC is not always working as good as it should. Can you give some specific example which reproduces your problem?

Many frustrations. One example: after charging to 70% although the app suggested charging to 63%, a pop-up said there was an alternative plan which would save us some time. We selected the alternative, but the new next charger was going to be out of range. Fortunately, we remembered the original charger. When we charged at that place, I had to reset the whole trip. There did not appear to be anyway to go back to the initial plan once the alternative was selected. We had to select the new alternative without being able to review it in advance.

Do you remember the original plan that you drove with before changing? Is it saved in your charging history? If you do have information about the route, please send it to us with the date that you drove it.
