MINI Connected Classic

I have an android phone (LG G4) and this app is useless. I had an iPhone 4S before, as long as I have had my Mini, Mini connected has pretty much been a flop! It's the hugest disappointment that they advertise you can do these things and none of it works

Will only play mp3's. Why does the iPhone version have so much more capability? No Spotify or Pandora for Android? It's sad and ridiculous.

This app really doesn't add much if any functionality. Also does not work with the gopro capture app. Maybe it did with the old GoPro app but cannot get it to work with the new capture app. Using a pixel xl so it's up to date in terms of hardware and software.

Updated (5/4/2017): So, I recently had my 2016 Mini in for service, and they had to do a software update, which reset much of my system, and clearly included updates to the functionality of my radio. I decided to give this app a try again, and it finally worked! I also just upgraded my phone from a Galaxy S7 to a Galaxy S8, but I honestly think it was the system update. I had been trying to do an update to my radio, but the radio would never update to the vers number the mini site states it should be. Basically, if this is not working, check with your dealership, and see if your system has an update. As for the app, now that it works, it wasn't really worth the wait. It does interact with the vehicle, but really should offer the option to choose the music player, and maybe have more social media options. The biggest downer/negative, is that you need your phone hard connected to the vehicle (via USB or the snap-in device). This really needs to utilize bluetooth before it becomes something I'd use normally

Tried this app for several weeks with 3 different Android devices, and the companion iOS app on 2 different Apple devices. On good days, the app is flaky. On bad days, nothing ever works. Very bad software craftsmanship.

Does not work. Piece of garbage. Unbelievable mini would post an app that absolutely does not work

I have a 2015 Countryman S All4, well that is based on 2nd gen MINI technology, so will never work. The app finally says it is for 3rd gen MINIs only. :(

Will this app ever be updated again? Attempted to connect Nexus 6 via USB but does not work. Need Android support.

Says it's connected, and then doesn't let me do anything. Doesn't work at all as described for my Galaxy S7.

When is this going to work for Android???

What is the point? False advertising for sure. Should say apple users only... sometimes. Do not promote this feature in selling a car! A huge disappointment.

Will this app get updated to support Pandora, Spotify, and driving excitement? I just got a new mini and am now learning there is no Pandora support, very tricky marketing.

What a let down for Android users

Does not work on my Samsung S7 Edge

Worthless doesn't connect.

not working at all

Why?????? Will not lease another mini after this mess

... I spent $35k+ on a brand new 2016 with the promise that this would be the top notch technology that one should expect from a luxury brand. It doesn't work. At all. Even the sales rep couldn't get it to work. My fiance's 2013 Toyota has more up to date tech than this, including a touch screen and he only paid $13k for it. Mini/bmw SERIOUSLY needs to invest in tech development.

My husband has an iPhone and it works beautifully. I have an Android and it won't do anything. I gave it a two stars because I've seen it work on my husband's phone and it's great. I give it zero stars for me because I am unable to get it to work at all. So sad!

Have given this app several tries to redeem itself and it still won't work. Useless piece of garbage and I regret even getting the connected/nav package in my countryman. Do yourself a favor and save money and don't get the connected/nav upgrade because nothing works.

1/21/16 - An update rolled out two days ago. The audio player is working great now and overall reliability is much improved. All available apps appear to function as intended. (YOU MUST HAVE GEN-3 MINI SOFTWARE IN YOUR CAR!) 12/28/15 - An update released early Dec. trashed the Audio player; it no longer functions. Additionally, it will not always connect to the other imbedded apps/functions. Prior to this Dec. update it worked great. Recommend waiting for the next update push (if there is one). 8/10/15 - June 2015 updates are vast improvements. The audio player via USB is fantastic as there's no volume loss like when connected via Bluetooth and you can control your player at the console. 11/18/14 - I'm a technologist by career and an optimist in life, neither of those could carry me this app. What little functionality offered worked fine, but the numerous cons outweighed the mostly absent pros. (Note: I have a 2015 F56 w/ Mini Connected & Visual Boost, and a Samsung S4)

Does not work. USB good for charging g.

What is the point? False advertising found sure. Should say apple users only, sometimes. Most of the time. Noone.

This app doesn't even connect to my mini anymore..what a waste of time.

Doesn't work, not user friendly, not innovative, not using it

What gives, my car doesn't recognize my phone.

Can't even play web music.

It sucks. This is 2016 should be able to use our android phones :(

Worst app ever.

Will not connect

The app won't connect to my mini

Immerse into what. This piece of crap. MINI/BMW Please don't tell me that you invested into this. An intern would have done better job than this. Came from Iphone to android and first thing when I saw is this app is holy c***. App has nothing in it.

This is a joke. Do not believe what the Mini dealer tells you...this app does not work.

How does this not support bluetooth? Its about time to get a new car, and I'm looking outside of MINI as BMW hasn't been about to turn this around.

Have a s5. Won't work. This is useless.

Just thought I'd point out that this is one of the lowest rated apps I've ever seen. NASA is going to put people on Mars, and your telling me that you can't make an app that connects my phone with my car...disappointed to say the least.

Pretty pathetic that iPhone has an incredibly rich environment of mini connected apps but android is almost thoroughly ignored. Especially when Android devices have a higher market share then Apple devices. This is part of an expensive optional package and I feel like I'm being let down by Mini.

To begin...this app (and Journey Mate ) stinks. It honestly doesn't matter if you're on an iPhone or Android, the apps are wretched - and it is probably even worse because MINI drivers don't have built-in telematics like BMW vehicles do). Notwithstanding, these apps crash on launch half the time; sometimes, they don't even work. The app selection is missing key apps (Play Music, Apple Music, etc.). Just...shameful, BMW. Develop something that isn't just crud.
