Ford app v6.0.0/6.1.0 FKA Ford Pass, IOS & Android

[TaxmanHog]

Does anyone know how to save adjustments to cabin temp after you turn on climate via the app?

Might be user error but I just realized that it doesn’t seem to be saving any real-time changes I make to cabin temp. Heated seats/defroster will enable/disable, but temp doesn’t change when I click out of the mini climate pop-up.

Maybe the vehicle is actually set to that temp but the app isn’t updating?

I set the temperature up to 75 from 72, it's holding as of now, I changed tab views, closed & re-opened the app, the value is still holding at 75.

NOTE, I expect the Sync screen will still show 72 once I get out to the truck when we're ready to leave, this has always been the case, adjusting the value via Ford App has never changed the value inside the truck, but the HVAC does warm up to a higher value per my request in the app, but once you "START" the truck to ready to drive mode, then the Sync value will over rule what was requested in the app, BTW, this is often the source why the HVAC will suddenly start sending cooler air to pull the cabin temp back to 72. If I really want to maintain 75 I need to bump up the number on the Sync screen.

6.1 iOS is out. No PPO under “utility” for me

Edit: Nevermind, updating to 6.1 like KSkel posted solved the bug, now the temperature saves!

Hmm, just tried it again now and same thing. Obviously a bit easier to show in a video but for me selecting out just resets it back to that original temp.

LOL. So... I'm eating my words a little here. I got the date wrong. It's actually next week - and that was totally on me. Promise.

See! Would AI make a silly mistake like this!?

So... it's next next week, any update?

The fonts are way to BIG.
Too much wasted white space

Here is my full complaint here:

It is a lot of empty space, but I see down to my climate controls. Maybe it's a display scaling issue?

Now my phone shows this...

F150
Waiting
to charge

Cant even fit those three words on one line!! Terrible!

The person that got paid for this probably used a 32" monitor for testing instead of an actual phone screen. haha. So here is my message to ford...

FIX
IT

I'm hoping to get a response from Ford on this... let me try to get in front of what I expect them to say...

Some of the font sizes in the app are dynamic and related to the text size setup in the phone's general settings. True, but the 'status' field or whatever its called showing the Waiting to charge, is NOT dynamic and is just huge all the time. Furthermore, the fonts used are much larger than necessary, again, causing too much whitespace and padding between fields. This needs to be corrected so the app is usable and doesn't require so much scrolling. This is getting to be far too common in UI designs, so many websites now are also using huge fonts and spacing to create a 'clean look' but it comes at the expense of useability. Phone apps must be useable first, pretty second.

Really like this new feature of the app- at least I think it’s new. I never noticed a software updating message before!

What SW did you get? Did you update the appropriate SW thread? Anything fun or new?

For those finding gross displeasure with this new version remember to leave feedback on the app/play stores to inform the DEV teams.
