Apart from stalking - is this app worth it? Reading the official Ford bumph on this it will help me to drive more efficiently (I don't think so 😄😅 :D :x ) , tell me my MPG, tell me when the car is being broken into, its not an auto so that function is redundant. Managed OK without one on any car I have had.

Good points, well made. I seldom open the app these days. Figure the dash will tell me when something's wrong.

They have removed Manually, from this screen and Everything from the Journey Recording leaving just Automatically using Applink and Off. They probably got fed up having to fix it every time they updated the App. I have to say that even after a year I still look at my bad driving stats. Then again I enjoy any type of gadget.

Mines been faultless lately. Then I have a long drive to Oxford and the bloody thing has switched itself off! Typical!

Update. It was just slow to show. It picked up every journey apart from the one from Leicester Forest services to Oxford. Strange how it missed that one.

Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. I don't think Ford really cares once it has your money. Promises that don't get delivered, poor aftercare, vehicles that don't meet the advertised specifications, etc. and if your vehicle starts to fall apart outside a what is by todays standards a pretty short warranty, then expect to be screwed. There are other manufacturers who realise that a customer is for life, not to make a quuck buck out of and people eventually vote with their feet once they have had enough.

I don’t find the app particularly useful tbh, and am thinking of deleting it.
Looking back, there is a pattern whereby every other car I’ve owned is a Ford (starting from the mid 70s). So I keep returning to the fold.
Having recently moved on from my Seat Arona to my ex Ford Direct Puma Titanium, I doubt whether I’ll ever change it. Yes, I’m that old. It’s everything and more I’ve ever wanted from a car.

Anyone noticed, The format and layout of the App has completely changed. Same information by the looks of it, but now it is a different animal.
Who knows it might even run better?
