Is it just me or does it seem like each time they update the app works great for several days to a week, sometimes longer and then it just craps out. Almost like the installation replaces some logging file that fills up over time and makes the app not function anymore.
This last update .19 works great for me. PAAK was flawless, and I stopped getting No Key detected error message but a few days ago that started back up and I would be willing to bet for the next week mine will work flawlessly.
Not just you, I was just thinking the same thing today. My app has become very unreliable this past week.

Well, let's see how this does. So, do we need to remove and re-setup PAAK to get the reliability improvements? And this update still doesn't fix the issue in iOS if you're using the zoomed display option. Start button is so small you can't use it and you lose access to the trunk-open button.

I wish the app would show me if my doors were unlocked. I know I can lock them, but it would be nice to see the current state.
Check out the iOS or android widgets members on here have made. They will tell you that info. It’s not real time, but it’s as close as real time info as Ford will give you.

My interpretation of the "release note" is that it only fixed the PAAK setup routine (which perhaps failed for some people) but not PAAK itself. I Hope I'm wrong, because I'm still disappointed that I often have to stand next to the car for several seconds and press the door button multiple times before PAAk is recognized (unless I unlock my phone on approach).

I experience the same thing.

Yeah, I have that app installed on my phone but the data is so delayed sometimes that it isn't useful. I'll look at it and it will show me the status for an hour ago, so I click on it and tell it to refresh, it says it will in 5 seconds. Then when I next check it, it shows me the status from 2 hours ago. I love the app it just isn't useful in real time.

Yeah that’s all fords system has. The connection to the car is not constant. It just checks in occasionally.

I really really hope that Ford learns how to write software. If it were easy, I'd get rid of mine and move on to another car. The issues never really seem to get fixed and there's always some new issue to add to the list.

It's really trying my patience.

My last go round was four weeks in the shop to figure out why BlueCruise wouldn't engage.

I don't think you should need to re-setup PaaK. My iPhone auto updated the app and this evening when I walked to my car it started displaying the welcome lights while I was about 10 feet away (only phone, no key in my pocket). I had no problem opening or driving the car either.
