Is there a better app than the Ford app? I do not like the way the app requires you to pre condition for the whole week for the same time.

Currently when I want to leave all days need to be preconditioned at the same time. Would make sense to have a memory

You know you can create multiple departure times right?

You can have two different departure times each day of the week. The UI in the car shows this more intuitively.

That is great. Yes I knew the app allows for multiple departure time, but only once a day. Here in the north- west need to precondition multiple times with multiple departures. I will check the in car interface.

You can actually do it twice a day. I assume they figured people would only be driving to and from work regularly.

And to respond to your thread title: there is no other app.

I have always thought that two was insufficient. I mean, people head out to lunch too, so it should be 4 times per day, no? ?‍♂?

Agreed. The app should be way more flexible. Hope someone reads this thread at ford.

I’ve never been on that regular of a schedule where this would be easier than just turning on the climate before I’m ready to leave.

but precondition is primarily for range, and it'd be a corner case to need more range for lunch regularly, no?

said another way if your car is at work charging bc the battery is depleted, you may as well keep charging rather than redirect the power to precondition

Just turn climate on before you leave
