MyBMW and Remote 3D View

Was it my imagination that Remote 3D View was working in the new app, and has now disappeared completely?

My fault.

Didn't realise that the screen section with Vehicle Finder etc. was scrollable.

Would be better if BMW just spread the icons vertically, as no indication on an iPhone that it is scrollable horizontally.

That scrollable line of stuff is terrible user interface design. Especially as on most screens the default buttons take up half a screen each. If there was the edge of another button visible it would be obvious that there's more to see.

Absolutely agree.

On my phone the first two fit almost exactly across the screen, so unless you know to scroll, the remaining icons aren't visible.

I think the Remote Camera icon moved one to the right when the Ventilation Timer icon was added.

Glad I’m not the only one who didn’t realise it was scrollable 🙄

As a matter of interest, and slightly off-topic, but has anyone actually found a practical regular use for Remote View?

Showing off to friends / family is the only use I've discovered so far.
