Couple idle questions/thoughts from a new 2017 Countryman S owner

It seems a lot of the functionality shows on the 'MINI Connected' page (RSS, Twitter, SMS, etc) aren't actually usable in the iPhone apps, or any other place I can find. Is this just something I am missing, or is it due to the MINI Connected app 'not being very good'.

Also, I find it odd that the center console's 'Ambient Light' color isn't saved to the driver profile. So if my wife sets the ring to a pink color, when I get in using my key/remote, it is still pink. You'd think that would be an option saved under the profile
