Did iSmart on Android get updated yesterday?

[STG]

Hi I am asking because I am now seeing a marked improvement in iSmart since yesterday.

It has always taken me several attempts to connect to the car, ie swipe down to refresh several times blah blah blah. Also when checking the location of the car it always would take approx 10 seconds to locate the car.

Yesterday and also so far today it now connects to the car first time upon opening the app and when locating the car it's instantaneous. I have tried this several times yesterday and today and each time it is connecting upon opening the app really really quick.

iSmart app updates are pushed via your App/Play store, so may only update if you have auto-updates configured.

After the recent update I've noticed a few improvements in how it gets the data.

We have added a 2nd phone to the account and yesterday on opening the app after 24 hours without use on one phone, it instantly displayed the correct SOC from a charge a few hours earlier. Either the servers are regularly polling the car for status or the status requested by one phone is retained in case the other phone asks for it.

Wowza. I am a 13 hour flight from home at the minute and the app is working better than when the car sat outside the house. It is working as it should Hurrah. The change to km from Imperial gave a big clue, I ignored

I noticed the change to kms, I thought it was just a glitch. I'll know in the future, thanks

That could explain why the manual is no longer available within my app, and why the app crashes after telling me "no data found" when I try to open the manual.

A bit of digging shows mine updated 21 Dec. Here's what's new (plus, in my case, no access to the manual).

I frequently had the insert charging gun error, and data refreshing was utter garbage. Fingers crossed.

In Australia we had the original app for a year then it got upgraded from dark mode to light mode a month or so back and it was terrible. Failed to connect half the time, needed refreshing all the time and the graphics were crap. Then the next upgrade saw everything change for the better. Now it even shows the cars odometer reading and upon opening the app the battery SOC & range are there without having to refresh. I chose the MG 100 years theme which is a dark mode.

Just checked & the MG4 User manual is there along with the navigation manual & service portfolio. There are also manuals for the new HS, MG3 & Cyberster

Yes, the old app was clunky, but worked. The next version was clunkier, and usually didn't work.

I might try a reinstall. Still no manual. I can open all manuals BUT the MG4! Still glitches around odo & % - main screen shows range, no %, refresh & it's there, but switch to vehicle or battery management and it needs a refresh.

It's definitely because I whinged so much...

Oh well. If remote charging works properly, I'll be happy enough, that insert charging gun error really raised my blood pressure
