Please have the fuel gage option back on there the miles to empty with no gauge to show is bad

[@vincecomeaux871]

Missing and used very often: Ability to add self serviced maintenance and receipts to service history, pro power on board, zone lighting, fuel gauge, ability to view owners manual, trailer lights viewing. Thank you for your videos and bringing attention to this.

[@kris_5]

The person or persons who were charged with rolling out this app should be fired. What a fiasco.

[@FulltimingBrinkley3950]

While most app developers are busy making apps better, Ford is making things WORSE. Good job, Ford! Keep charging more for less.

[@longmcarthurford]

I agree. They failed here, but they don't charge to use the app. It's free.

[@FulltimingBrinkley3950]

@@longmcarthurford agreed, it’s free. But I was talking in general, their vehicles.

[@fla-gypsy57]

Bring back the trailer light check now!

[@user-qb7qg2pp6w]

I want the ability to add my own service records again!

[@StevePoje]

Rhe service history is there, but you cannot add your own repairs, oil change, air filter etc. also the VIN went away. I called to take care of a recall and couldn't find the VIN as it was before.

[@redclover51]

Please return the features of the Ford app to its former self.

[@richardcorley364]

Oil life percentage

[@robertguthrie4113]

The oil life percentage is still on there it is for mine it shows 88%

[@ross7684]

I was offered the beta version 5.0 which I tried briefly but quickly bounced back to the previous version. Unfortunately, I was recently forced over to 5.0 and am entirely disappointed. I didn't have an option of not updating.

[@EKKOdocker]

Bring back the fuel gauge, time stamp of last start, adding owner maintenance manually and warranty status

[@marksjunction69]

I was so upset that I updated the app. Fuel gauge, ability to add your own service records, and I used the manual even though it was not effectively deployed. Trailer lights would be a big deal, but I don’t use it with the new Bronco, but if I owned a newer F150 or 350 that would be a very useful. My 2018 F350 I need to do the walk. The service records and remote start are the major uses of the app for me.

[@richardcorley364]

The mileage

[@jocelynkunkle6236]

Seems like Ford should never have released the update until all the features were ready for release. Normal big business hubris. I had the old app just the other day & was going to wait, but apparently I had automatic update turned on sad to say. When I plug my iPhone in for Carplay, the Google map is all weird & I have to go in to setting to change my preferences each time. Oh well, anything electronic is going to be changed periodically, we all know that by now

[@mr.monitor.]

They should have done that before offering the app from the beginning. It fails when you need it most.

[@jonlieberman7797]

The new app is HORRENDOUS! Whomever was in charge of this update should be turfed. They took a bunch of stuff away and the location function generally doesn't work. Ford's app was already subpar to the likes of GM & Hyundai and now it's even worse! Why bother with an update if it makes things worse? Stupidity at it's finest!

[@PG-lf3rr]

I tried to email them, they removed fuel tank status (has range but that's useless) and removed access to manuals and tire pressure/oil life not easy to find

[@robertrobertson5120]

I was surprised that there are/were features available that I could use but wasn't aware of. Thanks Tim!

[@travelingboz0214]

Pro Power onboard needs to come back to the app along with trailer light check. Come on Ford.

[@Erik-oe7gc]

I couldn’t get the app to work on my new iPhone, went to the dealer and a young guy came out to the car and spent tens minutes getting it to work. Still liked the old version better.

[@petridish3045]

I updated the app today and with this update I can see the picture of my truck that is being shipped to my dealer for pick up, that I have not previously seen on the app. I know, first world problems.

[@williampieper2980]

Update is not ready for prime time

[@richardcorley364]

Manage your service intervals

[@Tobymt1925]

Zone lighting is gone and I used it all the time on the old version of the app.

[@KevinRodriguez-rp1rw]

You can check your trailer lights you can do that on your SYNC SCREEN

[@miketrejo2629]

How can we contact Ford to have the app to include the owner maintenance entry again?

[@frankquezada5490]

Tire pressure info, odometer info, and gasoline gauge are also missing.

[@frankquezada5490]

Exactly. Why would they removed this info. Also the gasoline gauge.

[@longmcarthurford]

It was there under services and health but recently removed the services. It's going downhill fast.

[@angelberrios7843]

Maybe Ford should ask their customers what they want?

[@no1but24]

Where is the extended warranty info that was in the previous version?

[@longmcarthurford]

I think they said you need to go to ford.com under owner account information.

[@backdoormanintheend]

My Lightning Pro standard range battery can't route plan utilizing eligible Tesla superchargers (more critical for standard range Lightning owners, especially if you tow). You can use both the FordPass and Tesla apps to navigate to nearby chargers, but you can't string them together to create a long distance route. As a work around, I use PlugShare on my home computer to route plan using both eligible Tesla and EA chargers, and then call up the route on my android phone via the PlugShare app when I'm on the road. I have the Lectron adapter in order to use the eligible Tesla superchargers since Ford can't get me the official adapter until September.

[@kayemtee5312]

I must be the stupidest person in the world, or Ford is the stupidest company. Does this app do anything useful anymore other than start the truck and lock/unlock the doors? If so, I can’t find them. What happened to the oil life level or the tire pressures? Honestly, I keep opening the app and can’t find anything to operate with the app.

[@kayemtee5312]

I think Ford listened. Go to “Service” on the bottom of the home page, then vehicle health.

[@bryanhaen6750]

No "power my trip" for EV charging stations?

[@neotoxo54]

What a mess...my phone app seems to work ok but now my apple watch app won't connect...obviously FAILED to test thoroughly before release...

[@ronc127]

Off topic. But is there any plan to upgrade the 2023 F150 with blue cruise to get the 1.3 upgrade?

[@sherigenaw1133]

I have the option to turn my car off but can’t turn it on. Why???

[@DualStoreRomania]

We want old app, why not see what clients need?

[@joshiyama]

The digital owners manual is a good idea but its poor execution makes it worthless.

[@MichaelKizer-be7hx]

Do I need to lock my Maverick???? I see it is parked, Not ON, and where it is parked, BUT did I lock it? I can press the button to lock it just in case I forgot. Could you highlight the status of whether it is locked or not?

[@longmcarthurford]

your app should tell you that it locked

[@johndcunninghamjr4111]

I use the app t0 show my Vin when getting parts at the dealer, I can't do that with the new app. Very annoying.

[@longmcarthurford]

It's there under vehicle details

[@johndcunninghamjr4111]

@@longmcarthurford I checked, not there.

[@longmcarthurford]

@johndcunninghamjr4111 tap the cars in the upper right hand of the app next to the little person. Scroll right or left to select the vehicle if choice. Don't hit Select Vehicle but tap Vehicle Details. It will be the third item in that page.

[@johndcunninghamjr4111]

@@longmcarthurford That's now I have finally found it. Im getting to old for this app crap.

[@mdutchy2582]

In my opinion, this update had ONE goal. Drive you to dealerships for service and stop you from doing your own. GM trucks up 10% Ford trucks down 10%. What does Ford do? Piss off even more customers naturally.

[@SgtPhroste]

Like how is this considered an update....I have an idea...how about leaving the app that actually has everything in it alone until you actually COMPLETE the updated app...crazy I know

[@richardcorley364]

How much gas in my 2018 f150 xlt sport super crew

[@MacheteAdventure]

I can see old service history in the app, but how can an owner add new service history ?

[@longmcarthurford]

@@MacheteAdventure I don't think you can right now. Maybe they will bring it back.

[@MacheteAdventure]

@@longmcarthurford I hope so . That was a handy feature.

[@mightyangelopenbook8555]

Why cant I find the DEF level any more ? 🕳

[@michaelquimby5376]

missing the fuel gauge and odometer reading

[@longmcarthurford]

The odometer is under vehicle health in the services tab.

[@jameskorotko1878]

Huge issue not being able to see pro power readout. Had storms knock power out for 4 days a week ago while I had to head out of town for the weekend. This Never used to be a problem since I could check the app to make sure truck was running and powering the freezers basic lights etc. The new app hit at the worst time as I Literally had to have my neighbor come check my truck while I was gone out of state for 4 days. I also did my own services. Used zone lighting and trailer light check all the time. I don't know how you move backwards. Ford should seriously clean house as this new app is a terrible disappointment.

[@BrentRyley]

Yeah it’s ok.

[@mrrpheak4316]

How to download fordpass in asia appstore?

[@longmcarthurford]

Can't help you with that.

[@intotheharshness9854]

I can't find a way to know how long my car has been at its current location. Anyone know how to find this?

[@longmcarthurford]

I don't think it had that information.

[@carlosclaptrix]

Supervisor: Make this worse at every update. Programer: Aye aye, Sir! (Thinks: He is neither nor super-wise). Even worse than reducing the apps functionality is the level of manipulation: We made it better for you! Use your apple watch.

[@DualStoreRomania]

Trips

[@tjgim]

Service History is at the bottom under Service then scroll down to history.

[@MacheteAdventure]

How can an owner add service history? Gone

[@waynerasmussen1315]

Bring back the old app😡!

[@doolittlegeorge]

These items are no integrated into the phone's camera or imaging device is what I see as the problem here. Talk about the World's most powerful diagnostic tool ever invented not being utilized! Detroit needs to work collectively to solve this problem as well as the alternative is to keep watching Tesla and now Gruber Motors run away with all of the Industry business #sustainment of the fleet. At the moment the Ford App *IS* Ford Motor Company let alone GM Chrysler Jeep Dodge etc. as whoever controls the app controls the entire product from beginning to End User lifespan

[@theyounglife2389]

Ford really let their customers down on this one. This new app is virtually useless. I used the zone lighting and trailer light check very regularly.

[@richardcorley364]

And rewards

[@neotoxo54]

Everything you need to know? B.S. This is so messed up I may have take it to dealer & pay them to fix what Ford Fucked-Up. What I need to know is how to fix it myself. 🤬😡

[@longmcarthurford]

The app is not going to be fixed by the dealer. Ford chose to remove some things. The dealer can't fix the app.

[@Crossfirev]

Praise Android, I can just download the old APK of the app to revert this god forsaken update.

[@jameskorotko1878]

Please tell me how do you revert back to the old on Android

[@paulavenoso899]

The new app is better. But still stinks. P. U. Why can’t I look at my app and tell right away if my truck is locked? Common. Sense. Toyota app will even tell you if a window or moonroof is open. I love my Lightning. But Ford needs to act like they really want to compete in the EV space or any space when referring to tech. #Fordtechstinks

[@scottyrides8483]

Total garbage.

Not interested in electric vehicle information.😊

There is nothing wrong with the app that I can see.
