I don’t like how they put the four shortcuts on the front screen. It’s not obvious whether things are on or off at a glance.
They need to allow us to customize the four shortcuts and make it ckeaer as to whether it’s ON or OFF, maybe with a slider for each that clearly shows on or off by the position.
Seems pretty clear. Says in plain English below the shortcut whether it's on/off/locked/unlocked and the icon changes. Above the shortcuts you get a warning banner if anything is out of the ordinary. For example my car is currently unlocked in my garage and that's very obvious in the app.
No, you’re missing the point. If you accidentally press one of those dumb buttons, the dumb status below the icon disappears and it just circles thinking about what is about to happen next while it goes through two minutes of internet connectivity, I.e., you have no idea what the F is happening and it’s dumb like every Mercedes engineer alive.
Yeah, let’s change it and put four touch-sensitive icons right on the screen where if you accidentally touched it it’s going to do whatever it’s going to do. Genius.

Not missing anything. It's a very common paradigm. It's an asynchronous operation. If you press it, it goes off and does the operation while you are seeing the busy indicator letting you know it's working on it. Then once the operation completes, it shows you the current status or an error if it failed. Seems like this paradigm is new to you. I develop software and this is how it's done across the board for longer running operations. Software developers used to block the UI during a long running operation, but that's a poor experience, because the user is blocked from doing anything else in the meantime. Anyway, judging from the lack of overall responses, it seems like a you problem.
What paradigm is it where the first screen that comes up shows four icons that if you accidentally touched them, they’re doing its business without telling you which way it’s going. God be damned you didn’t glanced at the words beneath those dumb, generic icons.

No, I wouldn’t say that. If you open the app, and unless you’re paying laser-like attention, it’s easy to hit one of those dumb icons on accident.
‘Mercedes obviously didn’t think about that. Dumbasses.
‘’
I've not a single time accidentally hit any of them and I open the app regularly w/o laser-like attention. I just opened up the app, and I can't even think how one would accidently hit them, because they are the bottom of the screen. How do you even hold your phone?
I never had this problem in the previous version genius. Whose problem is it then?
Still yours, unless it's a widespread usability problem with the new app, but that doesn't seem to be the case as nobody else has responded so far having the same issue.
If that makes you feel better. As a customer, the new app is terrible. It introduced unnecessary issues and problems that the previous version didn’t even entertain. That isn’t progress. That’s stupidity.

My feelings are irrelevant in this matter. You started this thread a week ago, and nobody else seems to have these issues. Just saying, but you seem to be the only one struggling.
I don’t care if anyone else has this issue. I have this issue and I didn’t have it before the update. Are you weighing my issue based on responses to this thread?

More on the fact that this thread had over 300 views, yet nobody seems to share your issues. Sometimes it's just you, and no company is gonna design their product for a few users that struggle with something that nobody else struggles with. Unfortunately, you gonna have to suck it up and make it work for you somehow. You can send them your feedback and if enough others send similar feedback they'll change it.
This change only happened recently. I’m an active member so I’ll speak my mind early.
Conversely, based on what you’re saying, if more than one person complains, it’s legitimate? Does that mean Mercedes really is dogcrap in quality because there’s more than one person saying that?
Finally, are you refuting my complaints because I’m the only one? Should I conform to your standards?

Essentially yes. Change happens if enough people complain or push for a change. That's pretty much how the world works. I'm not saying the issues aren't real for you, but voicing your frustration here isn't gonna change anything. You need to voice them to MB through the official channels. I'm assuming you started this thread to find sympathy among other members and validate your issues. That hasn't happened at least so far.
No, I think you should rethink these things before passively aggressively calling users idiots. My issues with this app anre independent of how you prejudiciously perceive how people should interact with it. That is naive and dumb. Just like the idiot Mercedes’ engineers. Don’t assume anything.
