MINI Link app for iPhone!

Fellow motoring enthusiasts, let's all take stock of where we are and be ready to greet one another on the road, in the store, at the pump...

Free iPhone app that, so far, seems very cool!

I'm not sure I understand the value add on this app just yet, but I think it has promise, like MINI Connect does, for future updates. Once enough MINI drivers have it, they can roll in new features, depending, and keep the same install base. For the price of FREE, not too shabby!

It's been out for a year now probably. I always forget to turn it on when we do rallies and stuff... I think it has great potential but isn't incredibly practical to use.

Seems buggy

1/2 the time the only MINI it discovers is my own, and it waves to itself. OTOH I'm racking up a lot of point just by waving to myself

It's very buggy. You either see no none or very few or you see many people because it still shows them after they have logged off. I used it a lot for MITM/MTTS this year. I was sitting in the bleachers at MTTS when I saw two people within earshot. I yelled out their names and got a response. I met a nice couple from KS. I would love to see it not so buggy and a few more options.

I sometimes use it but most of the older folks here don't have an iPhone or can even see over the steering wheel (short old ladies).

It is not working right now so even if you could log on, you won't see anyone but you. It will start working eventually like always.

here is their reply to my email:

Hi,

Thanks for getting in touch with us!

We are currently working on a fix for the VIN for anyone who upgraded to iPhone4. We hope to have it resolved very soon.

Happy Motoring!
