Leaf Manager for Android
The App is very reliable and does a better Job than Nissan (that's why I use it) however as it focuses on its core functionality it lacks many features. UI and widgets look dated. No differentiation between 7/3KW or time to finish charging. No tasker integration / updates through intents. doesn't have the trip / expenditure history. The positive side is the 12 bar battery status has a % estimate which removes the maths guess work. Provides logs, auto updates, and is very reliable.
Far, far better than the Nissan OEM app. God, I wish Nissan would get their act together. This app needs to work around so many of Nissan's annoying bugs. One that it doesn't work around, though, and gets a star knocked for, is auth token expiration. Instead of simply re-logging in for a new token, it presents a cryptic (401) error, fixed by going to settings and pressing "log in". Fix that and it's a winner! Worth the price for widget, too.
Go for the pro version to get the widget and auto update options. Neat use of bluetooth sensing to deduce car start/stop to enable auto-update. Very responsive (compared to Nissan app) and far more reliable (less communication errors, also auto-retry option for the auto-update). Widget is great for home screen status reminder of leaf and easy access button to turn on the AC remotely prior to heading for car. Some slight ui issues - very nearly a perfect app. Reduced to four stars due to the new 401 error still occuring in past few months when the Nissan app used, need to re-login and the widget UI issues remain.
The widget doesn't seem to work on Android 8 Oreo. Worked fine on Android 7. I do get "error 401" most of the time which is annoying and means that autoupdate hardly ever works.
Simple to use.. If a bit ugly user interface. But everything you need is in the app. Edit: Used to run fine but now it just gets error 401. The automatic charging notification is now pointless. NOT WORTH GETTING THE PAID VERSION ANYMORE (until error is fixed).
So much better than the stock Nissan app. Really like the widget and the functions work very well. The only two problems I have found are the awful appearance (I paid for premium so hopefully contributing some dosh towards a professional set of art work) and that there is a large delay between hitting buttons (e.g. Start climate button on widget has a five second delay on press before any user notification). Perhaps add an immediate 'contacting server' notification on press. Otherwise a superb job! Just downgraded to three stars because still no UI update!
It does work...ish. It worked ok, then gave me 401 error so I logged back in and no longer get the error but it's incredibly slow. It spends minutes retrieving data from the server and recently just returned everything as invalid...
Would be 5 stars if it would automatically relogin when auth cookie expires and UI would have some tuning. UI is a bit clumsy, could have all main functions in one page instead of multiple tabs which need scrolling. Best feature compared to nissan app is backgrounding all tasks, even though that is how everything should work...
The widget stops working on Oreo. I received the error message saying problem loading the widget. Other than that, it's a fantastic app. Thank you!
Worked much better than Nissan app for a while. For the past month, it hasn't been able to update - it states: gave up no updated car data from server
Pro tip: don't use it in conjunction with official app. That messes it up. The UI is subpar but it works. Love being able to click the widget to start the heater. Live in Norway...
Excellent. Far superior to the stock app, particularly the widget. Edit: I recently upgraded to a Pixel, and it seems the widget buttons occasionally gray out. Seems random. Sometimes it's one button, sometimes it's all of them. Launching the full app fixes this. Don't see a way to report a bug, so just adding here. Can we get an update?
Usually works fine. Have had some periods of difficulty getting logged in. Not sure if the fault lies with the app or with the Nissan system.
Does not update, and keeps popping up with 'unknown error'. Total waste of money!!!
Used to work fine, better than Nissan's app. Not anymore. Now it just says "unknown error (401)".
Better than the official app and a nice widget but I frequently get a 401 error and have to open the app and relogin to get the app and widget to work again. It would not be hard to fix this issue!
Really good. Will give a 401 error if you use Nissan app. Just press login again and you are back in business.
Worked well for a while, but now just gives 'unknown errors' - after paying for pro.
The app was working nicely, but now I am getting only unknown error (401) when trying to get the battery update or run remotely AC (which was the most used in the winter).
It's very useful but could do with a UI update (to make it look pretty). I'd like to see estimated charge time, and a home screen with the 'climate on' button. Overall, a very good app! :)
Great app that just works. UI is a bit lackluster but...It's functional.
Error 401. Does not work anymore which is a real shame. Shows last location but other features do not work at all. Eg charging value. Please fix.
Good when it works, error 401 problems. May be car mobile connection issues.
Any updates in the multi login 401 error? having to log in manually every time I change devices
A little slow to update but certainly works well for me.
Well worth buying the paid for version to get the widget. Nissan should take some notes. This is how there app should have been made.
Just shows unknown error 401 on the widget. Waste of money
Always gives a "Unknown error (401)" when trying to update. Very frustrating
Not quick, just like the Nissan app. but is functional.
Completely worthless piece of crap. Error 401
Used to work great. Now it always has a 401 error message. GRRR. ????
where is this app sending my info to? I saw a message that the app cannot a server, who name is suspicious. I am uninstalling the app and change my password for safety.
Can't login with same login as Nissan Connect... Junk.
This app always stop working
Better than nissan connect EV app, buy that is not saying much. This app can be improved alto and should be.
Why is this not available in South Africa? I have a nissan leaf bit cannot use this app?
Don't know how it works.
Have forgotten my password/username. Know where can I find any help to recover them.
So much better than the official nissan app. Much faster and updates are more automated.

More than I can say for the Nissan EV which won't even let me log in on my Chinese phone. Japan and China never did see eye to eye. Not as much general info as the Nissan app but it tells me what I need to know when I need to know it. Update April 2017... I now have a Google Pixel phone. This app will not work at all but the Nissan EV one works fine. Weird world we live in!
