MyBuick App Comments & Reviews

MyBuick Positive Reviews

Best I know of...I give it 5 stars because of all the apps that are out there, this is the best that I know of!!! My friends with their BMWs, Mercedes, etc. have nothing compare to this app and they are envious as I’m warming up my car using the app while out to dinner. I love it even though sluggish (slow) at times but it does the job!!! Can it be better, ABSOLUTELY, but no other make of car has anything over GM so I give you your praises especially because you made the app available on my Apple Watch so the days I’m walking to my car and can’t quite get to my phone I just open up the app on my Apple Watch and presto my car is started and yes sometimes it takes a minute and yes sometime you have to redo it because it didn’t take the 1st time, but I have the ability to start my car, open or lock my car doors from my wrist!!! You can’t ask for anything better today!!! I encourage GM to work out the bugs but great so far!!! You have my vote!!! I love my Buick, the app and my car!!! 😆😘😆.Version: 3.11.0

Annoyed sometimes furiousMybuick app used to be amazing. But ever since this UI update, I've have nothing but problems. It's very annoying to have to hold the button icon down so long in order to send a signal. It's weird. I didn't have to before. The thing that I hate.... Absolutely hate!... It's the UI screen lock and unlock buttons. They tend to be faded out. I can't lock or unlock my vehicle. Today my hands were full and couldn't get to my key fob. I figured I'd lock it with the app when I get inside. As of right now... The unlock is faded. Can't touch it. The lock button is bright but it says locked. But my door is unlocked. There is no way to lock it. I push it and nothing happens. At either time one or the other will be faded and unable to be pressed. This is common. I'll have to go to my car in order to lock the door. Major inconvenience because I'm in an apartment. It's a long walk to my car and I'm undressed. I pay a monthly full for this app I'm furious. But this has happened ever since the user interface update. It looks good but doesn't work good. I keep having to delete and reinstall the app just for it to happen again!.Version: 5.5.0

No keys no problemI had to run into an office for 2 minutes. I couldn’t locate my key. There I am parked under the scorching AZ sun looking for the darned thing . So Then like magic I remembered the Buick app! I jumped out of my parked car and pressed on the door lock option. (Had to show my face or insert a pin to unlock and access the functions) Hot Dang! It actually delivered what the salesgirl at the Buick said it would do. Would you believe they locked!!!! I giggled all the way to that office and ran back to my car in less than 2 minutes. Yes my physical key was still in the car which I’m sure is not recommended by the folks at Buick or PD but sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do. So there I am in front of my door again. Open the app again and pressed unlock! Hot Dang! Worked again! So here I am still parked but with AC full blast writing this review. I don’t often sit in my parked car in this heat BUT because this app saved me from a stressful situation here I am sharing. If your kids are tiny, ill behaved or playing tricks you’ll never be locked out of your car. I grew up hearing my dad tell me tales about all his Buick’s over the years and how it’s the only car he will ever drive blah blah. You don’t listen to me he’d say.... You would’ve thought I graduated grad school, Dad was so proud when I showed up in a brand new Buick Enclave. Guess I was listening after all!.Version: 4.2.0

Good but wouldn’t paySo I work in cellular, everyone offers things like this car monitoring , road side assistance, remote start. What makes this the way to go is it’s by your cars manufacturer, I like to go to the dealership not because the tech in the bay is 35 and has held a wrench since 3 but because it’s a dealership. This app works when you’re using it. I have to go section by section and update to see what the cars status is. If my tire is low I want to get an alert on my phone, not go to where I’d find tire pressure drag it down and release wait for it to load and then know, by that time I’m already in my car driving. Even if it being more live, or if it automatically updated when I open the app would be great. For the first week I was just opening the app and thinking the app was updating with me opening it, boy was I wrong. I’ll tell you I love he buttons on there, the point there’s added security when opening in, turning on etc. But would love the app the work outside of me having it opened if that makes sense..Version: 3.14.0

Shame on me.I love this app. I love even more that I can start my car from my watch. What I don’t love is after I start my car twice remotely. That’s all I get. I really wish you could at least unlock your car on a third time option. Here’s why. Because when you go to dinner on the coldest night of the year. You take two cars. Your husband leaves early. Takes both sets of car keys. (Because he forgot you were using his keys) not thinking you use your remote to start, twice. Then go to Leave with your friends. Then realize your keys are in the car and you can’t remote unlock your car. There’s a tow ban so no tow truck can help. You have to find a way to get home round trip 40 minutes for keys. (Because your husband is working a double the next morning) that is all carry on and enjoy the chuckle. I have several times..Version: 3.17.0

Puzzled 🤨Love the app. Love my Buick Encore even more. Four stars only because recently my app is freezing. I’m getting error messages. And then unable to connect to internet. All of my apps work with no problem connecting. I’m not sure what’s happening? But, I hope it gets resolved soon. I even tried logging out. Now all I have is a white screen, and no ability to log back in🤷🏽‍♀️ I’ve closed out the app several times, still the same. I hope it corrects itself before leaving work tomorrow. I love the ability to start my car remotely while walking to it. Especially since we are having cooler days..Version: 4.1.0

Fails on Apple WatchI absolutely love the functionality of the old version of this app. Back then I was able to use my Apple Watch to access my car whenever someone borrowed my keys to go do something else. The problem that we’re having now is that with the new app you can set it up to work on the Apple Watch but after a while when you try to use it the watch tells you that you have to connect it back to the app again. It’s constantly dropping your authorization making it actually useless. That new app runs fine on my phone however it takes longer to load and from time to time you have to jump through hoops to login. I’ve tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app and it did fix some of the earlier problems however the problems listed above still remain no matter how many times I reinstall the app..Version: 5.7.0

Lightning fast!The only issue this app ever had was how long it took to load. Not anymore! Even after a cold start, it’s ready to use within ~2 seconds! Beyond that, it’s very easy to use. Has a clean interface, and offers all the features I’ve ever wanted. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve unlocked the doors when I left the key somewhere in the house and I don’t want to run back in and search for it, or started the engine on a blisteringly hot day to cool the cabin down. Traditional “fob-based” remote start is great, but the ability to start the car from literally any distance is a total game changer..Version: 6.2.0

Best app ever. I love keeping tabs on my carI love being able to use locate when I forget where I am parked, lock when I am not sure if I remember to and auto start when I am within 15 min of going out to my hot or too cold vehicle. I just remember to lower or increase the temp before I exit the vehicle since it recalls the last setting that’s on when the vehicle is turned off. I believe it’s my favorite, if there can be one thing of the benefits the app provides. Thank you Buick for a great vehicle I have in my Enclave with all the bells and whistles. Oh, I must also include my heated and air cooled seats and steering wheel. 😉.Version: 5.16.0

Love it!I love my new 2019 Encore. The longer that I have it, the more I enjoy it. A small gas tank and good MPG make this Buick economical and very cost effective, especially for a SUV. The streamlined appearance is stylish. The overall compact size is surprisingly roomy, perfectly proportioned for women drivers and appropriate for small families. And, this vehicle is technologically enhanced with the capability to be its own hotspot with unlimited data to assist and protect its occupants; security and entertainment at your fingertips! Buick is a name that I recognize and respect for well built cars. I am pleased to own my Encore, a small luxury SUV and I hope that you will join me in being a satisfied owner..Version: 3.17.0

Life SaverThis service has made my wife and I Life so much better, honestly!! I have a GMC truck and she has a Buick. We both have used the app to unlock the others vehicles if we need to get something out of the others vehicle instead of going into their work place or back in the house to get their keys, or to let one of adult kids in to get something they’ve left in the car without being interrupted at work. Then of course the best ever, starting the car to warm up no matter how far away from the vehicles we are!! Love the service, especially the price!! FREE!!!.Version: 3.16.0

Reported problem is fixedA very short time after I posted the review below, the app began to wrk again. It now connects fine after about two weeks of not being able to. I should have written the review earlier announcing the problem. The fix (whatever it was) was very quick. OLD REVIEW TO DOCUMENT MY ORIGINAL CONCERN I have used this app for years but now it has stopped working on my iPhone 11. The initial screen pops up, but the screens with the commands never loads. I tried deleting and reinstalling but no luck. I would rate it five stars if it would lad. END OF OLD REVIEW.Version: 4.1.0

Great! When it works..Have had several issues getting this to work 100% of the time. Usually works about 65-75% of the time. Mostly have to try twice to get my vehicle to start. Sometimes it won’t start at all. I would love to see them integrate some way to deal with unreliable cell and WiFi connections which I believe is the cause of all the failed remote start commands. Also Competing companies like Viper are allowing virtual assistants like Siri to start/stop, lock or unlock the vehicles using verbal commands, which would be a fantastic improvement. No idea why GM and onstar aren’t doing this as well as I would think this would be pretty simple for a company like them to do..Version: 3.11.0

EncoreAfter Hurricane Harvey I was so depressed and disgusted about all The flooding and losses I had and the people around me. I contacted my insurance provider just to let them know that my car had water in it up to my glove box...just in case something would malfunction later...but they had to end someone out to inspect it...it was totaled...I was given a rental...long story short, I took my niece to check on a vehicle and I also ended up getting mine from that same dealership...and Aliya year later took my son to purchase a Buick Encore also...my Encore is white...it’s name is Ghostie ...😁.Version: 3.17.0

Not happy with recent changesOn the replaced MyBuick app I was able to check the location of the car when it was being used by my children unable to perform that function on this app. Also I was able to remotely see the tire pressure, fuel level and percent of oil life remaining functions that no longer exist; just a message stating “No issues. Good to go”, Not happy with new app..... After reinstalling the app it woks terrific, no functions were comprised by the updated version. Very happy..Version: 5.0.1

Buick vehiclesI was 400+ miles from home and the service light came on. Good thing Stoops Buick-GMC was immediately on my right. Pulled back to service bays, and Mr Anderson came to help. Long story short.. I left my 2015 and after a few (long) weeks later I drove off in a new Buick Encore. This dealership went out of their way to have me go from screeching to smiling. They will work hard to make you happy. Other dealers won’t even come out on the lot. Bad day for THAT dealership, excellent day for Stoops!.Version: 5.21.0

Good App and works with Alexa!I would give this app 5 stars, but due to a problem i am noticing since the last update I am going to give 4. Before the latest update I was able to start, lock, and locate my vehicle from the watch. Now the watch app requires me to log in from my phone. Sadly, if I lock my keys and phone in my car, how am I able to unlock my car from my watch app, if I have to log in from my phone?? Until the feature to log in with my pin is reset on the watch portion of the app, 4 stars for you! You want 5?? Please fix this portion of the settings. Thank you..Version: 3.23.0

Would love Siri Shortcut actions.Overall, this app is fantastic and does everything that I expect it to do. The Apple Watch integration specifically is amazing. No complaints on that front. The one thing that can make this app beyond outstanding is a secure implementation of Siri Shortcuts so we could have the option of starting the car with our voice or a home screen shortcut. I realize that they are always security concerns at play, but wanted to offer the feedback..Version: 6.0.0

Early Warning!Was at a lunch meeting when I received a text from My Buick app telling me my right front tire was low (24 lbs). I went out and checked the tire and it was low and leaking air (nail). I have always carried a Fix-a-Flat in the car, but never used one. It worked! Got the pressure up to 31 lbs where I drove it to service station and had it fixed. Wherever you are at (work, church, bar, etc.) you would not want to come out to a flat tire! Thanks ! Terry.Version: 5.21.0

Works sometimesI have noticed recently that I can only use the app to start my car about 50% of the time. The power button on the app will be stuck saying "sending" on the power button. Even after refreshing the app the "sending" is still there. It will be stuck like that for a couple days. I used to love the convenience of the app and being able to start my car when I’m inside. What is the point of paying $15 a month to start my car from my phone if I can't start my car from my phone..Version: 6.23.2

Lock and startI had to unlock car about 20 miles away and it worked. When others have to go out door to start car with fob, mine app works from any distance and any spot Update. Since you updated this app, I am lucky if car starts even after several tries. It says hold down to start but I hold for long time and still doesn’t start and continues to say hold down to start.Version: 5.0.1

Isn’t working rightIt is no longer saving my email address, so I have to type that in and my password in every time. Then it freezes up and won’t load for me to type in my passcode after two minutes. Then I have to shut my phone off and start it back up to get it to act right. Please help with this. It’s been doing this for a week or longer now. I should be able to keep my email in the sign on like it was before. And please fix the lockup so I don’t have to shut my phone off to get it to load up properly.Version: 5.10.0

Frequent resets hurt functionalityThe theoretical usefulness of the remote key fob is great, even better as a watch app. That’s the only reason I pay for OnStar. Unfortunately the app needs to be hard reset (sometimes even the phone) often. The watch app even more so, requesting the user to login on the phone first, eliminating any usefulness of a watch app. The app gives both the phone and watch the option to remain logged in, but that doesn’t seem to work. First world problems, I know, but if this app had the full support of one of the biggest automobile manufacturers in the world it would be perfect..Version: 4.4.0

OkIt mostly works, I guess, but it doesn’t always register every trip and I can’t use the digital manual or videos option as these apparently don’t exist for the tourx yet and I have seen no date of when they might be available (if ever). Also wish it included a list of the options tied to your VIN number. You buy a car on the lot that has the things you want, but they come as part of a package (with other items you were indifferent to) and it would be nice to have a convenient list of what was on that package without having to go back to the sale papers..Version: 3.12.0

App works great!No issues with the app that I’ve run across yet. I think it works great and is very useful. The only thing I’d recommend adding on the next upgrade is the ability to schedule the remote start so it does it automatically when I’m getting ready for work in the morning. It would also be great if I’m at a function where I can’t pull my phone out to start warming up the car..Version: 5.7.0

Love our OnstarLove the OnStar app ! I can remote start my Enclave on Truck on Hot or Cold Days ! I use the same app for both Car and Truck . You just select which one to remote control. We are always getting into a store or restaurant and ask Did we lock the car? No problem I just select lock car on my app and within seconds I am notified doors locked ! You can also check your car conditions like air pressure etc ..Version: 3.17.0

Update: working againUpdate: the system must have been down for a couple of days but I was finally able to get past the create pin screen. Will check around more but so far so good. Very helpful when it comes to setting up service/maintenance appts. This app used to be great. Now as soon as I try to log in it requires me to set up a pin which I don’t need but even when I do try to set it up, an error screen pops up and it keeps pushing me back to sign in. Don’t require a PIN. It worked fine without it..Version: 4.1.0

Updated App Doesn’t WorkThe recent app update is a disaster. For 2 years I enjoyed all the features and working functions on the myBuick app associated with the Enclave. Now it doesn’t work. As I can see from other reviewers, for the last 3 months, the same issues such as vehicle status updates on fuel, tire pressure and mileage are not happening. It should not take months for bug fixes to be made. Thanks for taking a great app and running it..Version: 5.16.0

Ahead of the competitionI agree with some of the frustrations due to slow reaction of the app/multiple steps when using the remote start (1 star removed). Other than that, the app is working as advertised for me 9/10 times. I like it. Checked the Mercedes and Lexus apps with horrible ratings and the owners are giving this GM app as the “go to” example. Ha! Infinity and Acura don’t even have a remote start option in their app.. In addition, there are no customer representatives answering there. Good job GM, but don’t get complacent.Version: 3.10.0

Buick envisionLove everything about the envision the smooth quiet ride.Version: 3.20.0

Buick appEasy to use, great tool.Version: 6.6.1

UpdateAfter deleting then reinstalling app, it is now working fine..Version: 5.3.0

Good AppUsually runs smoothly but now crashes every time i try to open it now.Version: 6.23.1

They’ve made the app worseIt was a 4-5 star app but one of my fave features was being able to see my mpg per trip and compare it to previous trips. That seems to have been completely removed for reasons I can’t fathom. Not I can only see my lifetime average mpg which is virtually useless. They’ve also moved the trip stats into an Onstar section. You have to agree to their terms to see the data — presumably so they can sell it as grouped data or otherwise to third parties. Terrible move and a much worse app..Version: 6.22.0

Buick Encore GX 2023Nous sommes enchantés par notre Buick, l’insonorisation nous a beaucoup impressionné. Le moteur a de très bonne reprise et la conduite est parfaite.Version: 5.21.1

Connexion difficileAppli tourne parfois sans fin quand je veux me connecter.Version: 6.4.1

Incorrect French translationIn the main window of the MYBUICK app there is button labelled START used to remotely start the engine of the Buick. START has been translated to COMMENCER. COMMENCER translated back to English would be BEGIN. When applied to starting a mechanical device, START should be translated as DÉMARRER. Therefore in the French version of the MYBUICK app, .. DELETE————— COMMENCER REPLACE BY ——-DÉMARRER.Version: 5.16.0

Good app but diagnostics is uselessVery good app and has all information with your car. But diagnostics is kinda useless. I have check engine light and dealerships does not care about what the diagnostics in the app. They want me to pay for diagnostics for engine light on even though it says in the app Emission system. 🤷‍♂️.Version: 5.21.1

Buick Encore phone apConvenience and reliability! Remote start from miles away. Remote lock and unlock, honk horn. Check gas level, tire inflation, service and maintenance information, book service. Track warranty, recalls etc..Version: 5.11.0

Stop making changesIt was much better when the app showed how much gas in the tank, not the percentage.Version: 5.16.0

Good AppAll the commands work fine and they work about 98% of the time. Reading through the most recent reviews, it seems some people have had a bad experience. I can assure you, that is not the case with me. There’s plenty of information available on the app, and using it as a spare key is quite helpful..Version: 5.10.0

Epic App Update Fail….yet againNewest update won’t keep you logged in. What an epic failure of the app again. Logging in is a complete nightmare each time 👎.Version: 5.11.0

Works as intendedDoes what it says without a fuss. I like the timer that shows for the remote start as well..Version: 5.7.0

AppThe previous app was much more user friendly! Just because someone wrote a new app doesn’t make it better.Version: 5.7.0

FrustratingThis app is frustrating. It keeps greying out the unlock button causing me to have to uninstall and app amd resist all it. I called on star and they said it’s a bug within the app which they are “hoping” to fix. I previously had the gmc app and never had this issue. I also don’t really love the layout of the buttons. It could be better overall..Version: 5.4.0

App is a pain in the arsEvrytime there is an update becomes a pain in the ars.Version: 5.3.0
