MINI Roadside Assistance for Android
I downloaded the app cuz I can't use the phone at work! I fill in. All the information and then they say call this number to get set up! Then I have to. Give them all the information again!!
Starts and displays wallpaper but doesn't display buttons. This needs to be fixed. Can force it to display buttons if I turn screen off and back on, but will I remember this a year from now if I need it?
Everything I need to remember in this app. The dude complaining about wifi giving different location... WiFi isn't GPS. GPS gives perfectly location of where I'm at and it worked great.

It worked before my phone update but now it might as well be a background image.
The app essentially calls roadside assistance for you -as in, dials the number. You'll need to provide your information again over the phone, so bypass the app and just call directly.
A complete joke. Leave the app = exit and start over. Turn on WiFi = exit and start over. Input address & select "USE ADDRESS" = prompted with "We cannot retrieve your GPS location. Please enter your address." Turn on GPS and location services to use GPS = exit and start over, THEN prompted with "We cannot retrieve your GPS location. Please enter your address." I really hope your Android app developers have nothing to do with your 2014 model-year cars. Totally useless: I'd easily rather put up with someone on the phone.
Don't work on my device. It look like the screen wallpaper. 4 tabs of the Mini app didn't show up on screen. Please fix it!

Turn off Wi-Fi to register your MINI. Otherwise seems bare bones. I'll re-rate after I actually use it, which is hopefully never :)
Have to disable 4G to register and use GPS-related features. Annoying. Otherwise, like the idea and looks very Mini.
First, the paint color 'Light White' isn't an option. Needs to be for my car. Next, I entered name, closest color and the VIN, confirmed and pressed 'register'. It kept saying that it couldn't register me at this time. Since I couldn't register, the great features of the app are unusable.
Only works on 3g. Turn off wifi and it syncs right up
No quit function. Can't even back out of it. No setting to shut off location.
Wish it had my maintenance records.
Currently, the app is of mo use
Problem syncing & retrieving records on Android. Looks like a useful app but getting roadside assistance is useless until connection problems are fix.
Like the app,but it wont let me register....still trying to figure out why...please fix soon,would love this app
Nice change to the UI. I can finally use it w/o WiFi..thank you MINI!
Like many of you, was ready to give this a 1-star review because I could not get it to register. But then I saw that you have to turn your Wi-Fi off and only let it connect through 3G. Registration went flawlessly after that and not I'm ready for whatever comes my way (hopefully nothing).

So far so good Like many of you, was ready to give this a 1-star review because I could not get it to register. But then I saw that you have to turn your Wi-Fi off and only let it connect through 3G.

I have a feeling this hasn't been looked at in months by MINI Turn off Wi-Fi to register your MINI. Otherwise seems bare bones. I'll re-rate after I actually use it, which is hopefully never :)

ALMOST useless. Nice to pre-enter your info, have gps find you, and submit a picture of where you are with your camera. HOWEVER, no way to exit without force closing. I cancelled a request for roadside, but the tow guy never got the word. When I went back to the app to put in a request again, IT WOULDN'T LET ME because I couldn't back out of the one I cancelled.
