New BlueLink?

I received a email 2-3 days ago. Didn't see a update yet on the google store. Hope will be more reliable than the current version.

Need often to refresh the car status, to get other things done.

 

July 6, 2022 seems to be the latest update on Google Play Store. Doesn't say what version that is though.

 

Ah, Canada version ... USA here.. Never got an email.

 

I received the email as well but have not been able to download the updated app.

Speaking of updates, I see that Hyundai software update site is scheduled to go offline September 01. Presumably this is to prepare for their Fall vehicle software update.

Saw this update online….

Update August 22: A Hyundai spokesperson told iPhone in Canada the Bluelink app “is currently going through the Apple Store approval process and will be released concurrently with the Android version. We hope to launch the latest version of Bluelink in Canada this week.”

Ah... Hyundai Canada, you can only expect such stellar communication from them.

Incidentally the update is now available for download.

 

The interface looks updated but I’m not sure there is any new functionality nor is it any faster

On a side note.. does anyone know if the Bluelink app will still work without a monthly subscription? My 3 years is almost up.

 

Yeah, I find it really adds no improvement in functionality. Its actually alot slower especially when you first load the app. I do find some of the speed and delays are related to the car's modem ( my app is already installed on the latest whiz bang flagship phone so not that). My ionic 5's newer cell modem was much more snappier compared to my 2020 Kona EV's interaction with bluelink but with this new app it seems sadly regressive. Otherwise it looks nice.

 

Hello Wildeyed, this is not good news. The updated version is much more slower than the previous. Bluelink updates it’s application gradually; I suspect their servers are not powerful enough to do it in one day. I normally log in with faceID and it took several tries to be logged in. First look, it seems to do the same functions as before with a different look.

Yes I also received an advanced email, searched for the updated version to no success. However last night, as I attempted to open the old cr-app, it notified me that I was required to update to proceed.
The “new” version app has a completely different look, and has some new options that are redundantly curious. We can continue to hope for increased speed because I think it’s slower than before, but at least it tells me that it might take up to two minutes to complete a task, whereas before I needed to guess where my 5-min of life went as I waited ‍

 

So far it's an epic fail for me. Just when I got used to what the old one would do, and would not do, they come along with a new version (groan).
