VOC app reduced functionality

Quacker · Sep 22nd, 2019, 22:42

Once upon a time the app could actuate the horn and the headlights as well as remote start and, I think, shut the windows [but not the roof].

Unless I'm going mad or senile, these functions seem to be missing currently? Anyone point me in the right direction or, ideally, confirm my sanity?

Is there an App issue?

I cannot even see the map to send a location to the car. The Map symbol is greyed out!!

iOS13 issue?

But as I type it has fixed itself and the lights / lights and horn are on the map page.

It is now on the map page.

Thanks. Were they always there and I forgot or have they recently moved?

What in the world are these controls doing on the map page?

The app seems to be taking lessons from Olympus and Sony camera menus.

They moved them to the map page a while ago with one of the app updates, it took me a while to find them after they moved them, I have separate widget icons on my phone for the lights and horn and door locks as well as the remote start, If you have the voc app on your phone look in your widgets to find them, (I have a Samsung android phone) you do not have to open the voc app to use them.

I've just located the widgets now, that's a nice little shortcut.

Nothing can be as bad as Sony camera menus...

Olympus comes close. Volvo isn't in that league to be fair and its my fault for not using the app regularly enough.
Also I did not remember about the widgets on the iPhone. I've now moved the VOC widget to second from the top, where it is more easily found and more likely to be remembered and used.

All is peaceful again in the valley again thanks to the forum's knowledge base. Thanks all, for clearing that mystery up.
