BimmerLink for BMW and MINI for Negative User Reviews
✓ App doesn’t workThis app does not work! I have purchased an ODB adapter from the approved list and it still says incompatible when I open the app. The adapter works fine with bimmercode. I WANT MY MONEY BACK.Version: 3.0
✓ BMW X1 2016Doesn't work for my bmw..Version: 4.4
✓ Not impressedCan’t say this app is worth anything other than monitoring dpf wish I hadn’t bothered.Version: 3.3
✓ Why exhaust valve not showing in the BimmerLink Manu????Why exhaust valve not showing in the BimmerLink Manu????.Version: 4.3
✓ PitaI can never get the app to link. Maybe one out of 50 attempts it links other than that it keeps saying it can’t connect to it and I check my Bluetooth and my device is disconnected. It’s like the app disconnects it so then it can’t connect to it it’s retarded..Version: 4.4
✓ Didn’t tel me I also need to buy a adapterCan I get my money back and delete the app.Version: 4.4
✓ Not worth the moneyI already paid for BimmerCode and thought this would be different but £30 for an app that does pretty much nothing is disappointing.Version: 3.3
✓ BimmerCode is great… this app not soCan connect using OBDLink CX to Bimmercode easily, but despite following all the advice I could find and updating my iOS to the latest version I still cannot get BimmerLink to work!.Version: 4.4
✓ Not easy to use.Needs to be more user friendly and the a simpler way to use. Does not provide any sensor values for F25..Version: 4.4
✓ Way more basic than I hoped.Works ok. Just really bare bones on features. Cant save a car cant resume a session easily ie specific modules selected etc. Have to wait 10mins for it to scan dozens of modules the car doesn't have instead of remembering the VIN and what modules it has etc..Version: 4.4
✓ Not happyHad this app for 1 year and still not getting the diagnostic to work contacted BimmerLink still no joy not happy feel like I have been ripped off.Version: 4.4
✓ MiniRubbish hard to use not worth the money.Version: 4.4
✓ This App is a SCAMI got this app specifically for my F30 328D and it can’t read codes!! When I go into info Memory. It’s BLANK. My 20 dollars scanner can even read the codes. Requesting a refund please. I will try to contact Apple to rectify this!.Version: 4.4
✓ Battery RegistrationApp description states that it supports F30.I have BMW F30 330i LCI and app does not support battery registration for this car ATM.Waste of $42 for me.You should clearly state what it does not support..please update app to support all F30 models not just pre 2015 or refund money until you fix..Version: 2.0.1
✓ Not workingI hadve BimmerCode which works perfectly. But with BimmerLink it’s been impossible to get it to connect (exact same settings as BimmerCode).Version: 4.4
✓ UselessTitle says it all. Don’t waste your money..Version: 3.3
✓ Won’t connect to vlinker BluetoothJust bought the app, asked for support no support as no email address linked refund but from who and how.Version: 4.4
✓ Exhaust flap doesn’t refresh itselfCan you already update so I don’t have to keep going back to the app every 10 mins to keep exhaust flap open?! It shouldn’t be difficult to do this....Version: 3.0
✓ Great app when it worksIt looks like app hasn’t been updated to iOS12.1 or there’s a bug The app launches and just does a loader circle for an indefinite amount of time When it did however the more recent updates added English translations for a lot of the sensor read outs which made the app much more usable. Exhaust flap feature works wonders..Version: 2.0.1
✓ Misleading support, no updatesWebsite says they support all MINI, i3, and i8 so you’d assume it supports the MINI Cooper SE - it does not. I emailed months ago asking about this and they said sorry, we’re working on it. I doubt they are sorry now that they have a $30+ sale and don’t have to refund on support it. Really frustrating situation since no updates are inbound and the app is next to useless for the vehicle..Version: 4.4
✓ Obd reader can’t be read when using the appCan’t find my obd reader.Version: 4.4
✓ MisleadingI bought this solely for the purpose of controlling the exhaust valves. Which you can open and close. That is until you come out of the app. They revert back to normal. Logic says if you open something remotely it remains open until you close it. Not this. Very disappointed and would like to be refunded please..Version: 3.3
✓ Doesn’t do much at all.Just a boring app for the F02, maybe if you did some updates it would be worth the money..Version: 4.1.1
✓ CRAZY slow.It takes about 2 minutes to read. I don’t find the info very useful..Version: 3.3
✓ Do Not Recommend! Full of LiesI have a G80 M3 and I downloaded Bimmerlink for only one reason and it was to open the valves. I emailed Bimmerlink and they said the valve function works on the G80s so I said I’ll buy the app just for that. I have the enet cable which works perfectly fine with Bimmercode. Out of more than 30 tries (literally) and continuous troubleshooting Bimmerlink only connected once. I am not able to connect to the app at all after that one attempt. I even emailed Bimmerlink and no reply from them. By the way, that one time I did connect the valve function didn’t even work for my car. I felt deceived. I have opened a case with apple to refund my money. If apple doesn’t do it right then I’ll do a charge back. Not paying for something that doesn’t work..Version: 4.4
✓ Carista not compatible despite being an option on the appI had seen a friends BimmerLink app and it looked good especially as under connection/adapter it had Carista listed. I bought the app and later found out Carista is not supported. Why have it as an option to connect to it, if it is not supported? I’ve emailed support twice in two weeks to give a fair chance to respond to me but no one has bothered themselves to reply. Absolute waste of £30. I want a refund, very misleading when the app lists Carista. Hopefully, this will be seen...Version: 3.3
✓ Waste of MoneyWaste of Money once you have the BimmerCode.Version: 4.4
✓ Incorrect readingsGenuinely love the app, it’s simple and sleek and easy to use but when it comes to reading the boost it seems to be off the correct chart by 15 PSI. I’m tuned at 20psi for now and I’ve used other apps and softwares to see which one is wrong and the rest all read around 20 but BimmerLink shows me averaging 30-35psi which would blow my motor and turbo since it can only handle max 26 at the moment. Couldn’t find a email to contact customer service about this..Version: 4.0
✓ Not working just refuses to connectNot working. Just generic warning that cannot connect. I will be trying another dongle but have a feeling it doesn’t work with iOs 16..Version: 4.4
✓ Poor options for minisOnly a few options for minis it seems (r56) feel a little ripped off as nothing helpful..Version: 4.3
✓ Weak app and they don’t stand behind it.*WARNING* BimmerLink incapable of keeping the exhaust flap in an open state. I purchased the BimmerLink app specifically to keep the exhaust flap open on my new 2020 X3 M40i without disconnecting wires or other crude methods. It bothers me to start up that nice car and see exhaust only coming out of the passenger side tail pipe. It makes the whole car seem fake and cheapens the overall appeal. I thought BimmerLink was an elegant solution to my problem. I was initially happy to see that flap finally open for the first time, but was VERY disappointed to see it revert to closed again. Then I realized that you have to open your iPhone, start BimmerLink, connect to the OBD device, select the flap control option and open the flap every time you get in the car. Really? I thought these supposedly smart guys who write BimmerCode would come up with something a LOT better than this weak app for that amount of money. Lots of fluff and no substance. Very disappointed in this app, and they keep your money!.Version: 3.3
✓ ASDI have a 2015 425i Mperformance and I got this app to code my car. The only thing I can code is the exhaust flap open and close. The add feature is thee but nothing displayed. I waste 36$ misleading app..Version: 1.2.7
✓ Connection errors and no descriptionWhile I generally give good reviews to Bimmercode, Bimmerlink is not the same league. So far, I needed it for two things, on a 2019 X3 and it basically didn’t do either. Register battery is the first, and it was always saying “connection error, tap screen again”. Finally, I tried it with the X3 running and it connected. Hit Register battery button, it asks if battery is the same, I click no, Register….and nothing. Simply shows percent charge and Ah setting. No mileage, no indication that battery is registered!! Terrible software. After changing the battery, I have a CEL. Run the “Permanent Errors” and it shows 2 in Motor Electronics. Press that and it gives two codes, no description or anything, just numbers. Very disappointed..Version: 4.4
✓ Was AMAZING new update sucksWith the latest update all of the dashboard values update SUPER SLOW. I have an IPhone XS Max and it still chugs version 2.01 was ideal. Please speed issue!.Version: 2.1
✓ Nothing works apart from sensorsI am connecting and nothing works i wantsdit for the exhaust flap but all i have is auto option and open when i click on open it goes back to auto doea not work i have a 4 series m sport 2016 nothing works please advise?.Version: 3.0.1
✓ Connectivity issuesGreat functionality, but has too many issues connecting to Bluetooth adapters.Version: 4.1
✓ Don’t pay for this!!!!This does nothing more than any other free OBD app don’t waste your money like i did..Version: 4.4
✓ Exhaust flap control NO!If you are buying This app to control the exhaust flap in your car so you can set it to permanently open, don’t bother! The app is miss leading and it only lets you control the exhaust flap you can’t leave it permanently open. As soon as you turn off the car it re sets to factory settings. Do not spend money on this app just for the exhaust flap! Disappointed!.Version: 4.4
✓ Exhaust Flap-Be WarnedI bought this to enable the exhaust flap to be open at all times. It does open via the app on demand, but you have to leave the OBD module on at all times and be connected to the app. Loose connection? Valve defaults to AUTO mode. I wasted $35 and still have to modify the valve. Other than that, the app doesn’t offer much outside of battery registration. To cost over $100 with a OBD module, it’s a total waste of money..Version: 4.4
✓ No longer lets me reset oil change intervalsI purchased this app so I could reset my oil change intervals and it no longer lets me do that, only brakes and vehicle check AVOID.Version: 4.4
✓ Not very goodWould not buy this if I was you. It won’t even let me cancel the order and I just bought it..Version: 4.0.1
✓ Doesnt even connect?I have used BM3 and Bimmercode with my ENET cable numerous times with no issues. But this app refuses to connect. I have to change the adapter between ENET modBMW ENET and mhd ENET after around 20 tries it usually connects using 1 of the 3 random adapters i select. Literally makes no sense. Bimmercode has 0 issues connecting but this app is terrible. Complete waste of money..Version: 4.4
✓ You are better off with BimmercodeBimmerlink, easy to use and have the configuration option that most people are looking for: turning off ASD, turning off popping noise and keep exhaust valves open or close. The problem? once you turn off your car, all those settings are reset. You have to do it again the next day, connect to the OBDII port, put your settings in the app and start the car. Pay 30$ for this? No. Bimmercode cost the same and settings are not rested every time you turn off the car.Version: 4.3
✓ Did nothing for me but waste my timeI bought the app and it did nothing, empty screen with no sensors to add, nowhere to be found. I contacted support and they acted quickly sending me this BETA app link to download which I did, the result was the same, no sensors to add so the app is EMPTY, nothing to measure for my 2004 BMW 5 Series. I will try to get a refund from Apple on this app as suggested by Bimmer technician. Wish me luck, I have my screenshots and emails to backup my complaint..Version: 4.3
✓ Total waste of MoneyApp will not connect if you have your phone connected to the car’s hands free or Apple car play. In fact the car will over ride the connection to the OBD transmitter. Also if you are buying this for exhaust flap control, the feature will timeout to default oem setting in about 15minutes. Save your money for something else, I wish I did..Version: 1.3
✓ Sensor errorsJust keeps telling me sensor values can not be read. Also dpf was reading now nothing..Version: 4.4
✓ Valve does not open fullyI bought the app like most of people for the exhaust valves..got a 330 G20, but they open just a 20%, if that. Emailed for support three times, put a bad review and everything got sorted quickly. Everything works fine now, app is good. Customer service needs some improvement..Version: 3.3
✓ Doesn’t workWon’t connect using same enet adapter that works fine with BimmerCode.Version: 4.4
✓ New Update Ruined the AppVersion 4.5 absolutely obliterated the performance of the app. Now live data view is useless to track fast-changing parameters such as boost pressure because there is a 5 second delay in updating. Some sensors were lost altogether. To add insult to injury connecting to the device now takes upwards of 1-2 minutes every time you get in the car. The previous version had none of these issues and was much faster. I would avoid purchasing unless these problems have been fixed..Version: 4.5
✓ Connection to v linkerAfter a full day faffing around I’ve been unable to get the app to connect to the scan tool above. Unsure if it’s a software problem with the app or a hardware problem with the scan tool..Version: 4.4
✓ Doesn’t work for meI paid for the app, it will not connect to my mg flasher Bluetooth WiFi I’ve tried uninstalling, reinstalling. Have sent a email with no reply back. Not to mention lost $40. Can someone from support reach out and fix this problem? I have no problems calling the bank again. They reversed it, I setup my new debit card to Apple Pay for y’all to take the $40 again but I still have no access. C’mon now this is robbery. I either want the app to work or my money back..Version: 4.4
✓ 4.0.1The new version is extremely slow when fault scanning compared to previous versions.Version: 4.0.1
✓ Exhaust flaps no no noOpensThe app for my M2 comp made no difference whatsoever it’s in the on position read the engine in efficient mode quiet slip into M2 mode exhaust flaps open as they should so the app is useless.Version: 4.4
✓ Well put together but I don't read germanBuyer beware, the app seems like it's in English but to read any of the gauges or trouble codes, you must read german. 27 bucks to control my exhaust flap is not worth it to me. Update: The developers have now translated most app functions to English. I am keeping this at 3 stars due to lack of ability to change between Celsius and Fahrenheit or MPH and KPH..Version: 2.0.1
✓ Better apps out thereThis app is sub par considering it was meant for BMWs. It gives you a lot of details about error codes and such but most of it is useless. The error codes are also in different codes then the standard ones used so you can’t even look them up. It doesn’t even have the ability to give you correct boost pressure. Spend your money else where. OBD fusion app is much less and has better layout..Version: 3.0.1
✓ OptionsShould have capability to modify the dashboard displays Like shorten or change the name of the display. Info about which displays work for certain vehicles would be nice. The DEF level does not work with this app, but works with the OBD Link app. So the data is there. It does have some pretty cool information..Version: 4.4
✓ All diagnoses and codes are in Sherman£25 and I’m expected to know German to be able to use this app. No option to change the language to English. Kinda pointless seeing as don’t understand German..Version: 1.2.7
✓ Fishing app.This app did highlight that it will cost money of 49.99 dollars, once you using finger print, then you purchased it..Version: 2.0.1
