I linked to that thread above. Are you suggesting that try an iPhone? Too expensive and closed ecosystem for my tastes.

No, I use android and the new version dropped that now has those functions. That is the link to my post showing the android version features.

Note they changed the title of that thread to include Android.

My Play Store version still only has 5.20.0 available for me. The 5.21 version you linked looks like a much more "finished" version than 5.20.

What I'd love to see is that status information show locked/unlocked instead of "parked". Yeah I know it's parked, what I care about is, is it it locked, especially given the half dozen walk-away-lock failures its had in the last 2 months.

I have Fordpass 5.20.0 from Google Play Store, not a beta tester or anything like that. A couple of days ago I was looking through my Android widgets menu and saw one for Fordpass. Back in my Mach-e days I had a third party widget created by a Mach-e forum member that had lots of information and the ability to interact with the car just like Fordpass. Unfortunately Ford shut down their API and that app is now dead so I was curious to see what the official Fordpass widget looked like.

Ready for the big reveal?

Yup, that's it. No start, climate, lock/unlock, widow control or climate control....Nothing. When you touch the widget, it doesn't even open Fordpass. From what I have been able to tell, it doesn't even update itself, you have to open Fordpass from your apps and then when you go back to the home screen the widget will be updated.

Lame.

C'mon Ford, you're better than this....
