Thanks for sharing. Seems to work great for EU as well. I have just tested it quickly, but I live in Norway and I haven't found any issues so far.

Since the latest update the OTA Time in the widget seems to display the time of the last refresh and not the last OTA update time. The OTA info in the app itself is still correct.

Hmm, I'm not seeing that here. But in the last update there was a change to how those dates and times were stored internally and after checking the code I see the latest status timestamp in the app isn't formatted correctly. I can fix that at least.

Hello from Canada! This is amazing. I downloaded it just to see and presto it seems to be working for me! It does think the alarm is off but everything else is showing up including my last OTA update info, tire pressure SOC etc. ?

Thank you for all your work on this. ??

First, in general this is great. But up until the most recent update it was previously showing the OTA last update date (which for me was in early December), but now it's showing the time it last refreshed in the widget as you can see in the following screenshots (unless I'm missing something with how that date is determined).

How odd

The date displayed on the widget is supposed to be the same as what's shown in "Time Stamp" (although my bug is displaying it as milliseconds since the Epoch, but running that huge number through here represents Dec 3 at 12:22 EST). Perhaps I messed something up when trying to retain backward compatibility.

It will be a bit of a pain, but you can try either uninstalling/reinstalling or clearing the app's storage. That will reset everything including the stored date. I will be pushing an update later today which fixed the millisecond bug but I don't believe it will fix this issue.

Ok, uninstalling and reinstalling alone didn't fix it but in doing so I noticed that it stored the VIN even after uninstall and reinstall. So then I force closed the app then cleared the data then uninstalled and reinstalled and that fixed it. So there must have been something that was stored sticking around. But all good now, thanks.

Version 2022.02.01 uploaded. The only new feature is allow display of OTA status and location to be disabled on the widget (useful if you want to share a screenshot without that visible). I had a request for the ability to check for and perform updates within the app. At the least, I'll add a notification that a new update is available in the next version.

Version 2022.02.06 uploaded. There are two new features in this version:

1. You should get a notification when a new version is uploaded.
2. If you own more than one Mach-E, you can set up multiple profiles to view the status of each car from the widget (once you enable this in Settings, tap on the profile name under the "Mach-E" logo to switch profiles).

In addition, I've made small changes to more reliably get updates from the Ford servers.

There are a lot of other internal changes done in the background for these features and I've tried to make them invisible, but if for some reason things don't seem to work for you It's advisable to just clear storage and start from scratch.

Doesn't work for me. App won't open. Tries to open but then just immediately closes. I'm on S10+

Can you upload the output of logcat to github?

Also, if you need to go back to an earlier release, you can find them here.

Sure. How do I run logcat on my phone?

Great updates! Thank you.
