I don't get the stickers thing. Where/how do you see or use them?
I see them now, have to go to the app store button in text messages and search for Ford. The Grabber Blue Mach-E is pretty cool :)

I just updated the app and I have to say it is significantly faster than it was previously. It feels like I'm using a completely different app now. That alone to me is worth whatever they've rearranged on the page. Before it would take ~5 seconds to load the vehicle page completely, now it loads instantly.

All the other pages/menus load instantly too, rather than taking seconds to open or refresh like it did before.
I admit I didn't really believe you but yeah, this release is way, way faster. My guess is that the reorg of the vehicle page has a lot to do with that - you could previously literally watch the app get caught up with the info from the server, dynamically drawing UI elements as it did it, and it looks like they are doing some caching now and a simpler top-level UI. it feels very much like someone made it a priority to focus on that piece of it.

I also like that there's a top-level Departure Time button now - don't think there was one before? maybe there was, I haven't used them very much on the Mach-E yet...

I know the app sucks and everything sucks and everyone hates everything and on and on but anyway you can't complain constantly and then not acknowledge improvements, at least not without sounding like a douchebag. so I'm gonna compliment noticeable improvements when they happen even if this isn't the greatest app of all time or whatever.

My Mach-E is great, love it. The app had some nice improvements, acknowledged it. App still sucks. As in I still don't use it, even with it becoming a little better. I'll keep hammering until the app, especially the car control section becomes much more user friendly. This garbage they have now for an app needs a ton of work.

I literally don't have any idea who you are, and wasn't referring to you when I wrote that. probably says a lot though that you think I was referring to you.

that said the performance improvement is not a "little better", it's "vastly better".

wait, I know who you are now, you linked to that UI mockup that you insist is substantially better and the app is garbage unless it looks like that mockup. okay, I guess I was partially referring to you. ?‍♀

My iPhone didn't offer an upgrade to me either. But when this thread came out, I went into the app store in the account section, pulled down on the screen to force a refresh and then I saw FordPass ready to update. (along with like 40 other apps)
I see the same thing on my company iPhone all the time. Everything set to auto update yet anytime I go into the App Store there's a pile of updates available. ??

yeah, I've seen that on Android, iOS/iPadOS, and Windows. I've just worked off the assumption that there's some queuing and scheduling built in to the update processes... so threads like this are useful in forcing the manual "go look for updates" thing like was mentioned.

I didn't think you were referring to me. Sounded like you were cheerleading:

Sounds like either you are always complaining (i.e., you complain so much, you feel you need to write something nice), or you are a self-appointed moral authority. You decide.

Either way, app still sucks.

Always annoys me when I see these messages and I can't get the latest version because neither the Play Store nor my device show it yet... o_O
Force update.

Open app store app => search and search for fordpass. It will say open but click on the icon for more and update should be there.

I was cheerleading to a point. As someone in IT I find it frustrating when a user appears to take the position of "unless everything works 100% the way that I want it to, it's all broken and none of it works". If there's no acknowledgement of improvements, then eventually the complaints become noise - "oh, that's Bob (*), he is always complaining about everything - you can ignore him". That's not good for either party.

anyway this is not really on topic for this thread which is specifically about 3.32.0.
