Weather app

Is it working for anyone?

For the last 2 days mine says 'No Internet Connection' even although the car appears to be successfully tethered to the phone over wifi and I have a strong 4G signal.

This app was down for ages, earlier in the year.
Will check it in the V60.

In the car and cannot get any of the apps.
Just get a Red Cross on top of the app symbol.
I will try again in 20 miles from my current location.

Thanks. I suspect there's ongoing problems with Volvo's servers.

I noticed mine not working after I'd connected the car to my home wifi so I thought that was the problem but having changed the connection back to my phone it's still not working. Nor are any of the other apps as far as I can tell.

Just checked again and it looks like the whole apps system is down.

I just tried on car SIM (the user installed SIM) and using Wifi Hotspot from my phone:

1. Weather App - forever trying to connect
2. Spotify - forever trying to connect
3. Yelp - worked
4. Local search (here) worked

At first, before I'd got some results from the search apps, I was starting to wonder if Volvo are routing all traffic from the car's internet connection via a proxy, which was maybe down and hence causing all failures.

Maybe its just my Spotify and there is no link to the failing weather app. Is anyone else able to test Spotify?

Have you managed to try today to see if the system is up and running again?

From previous attempts at connecting I'd left TuneIn and Downloads on the centre screen. After Sensus finished booting the Downloads pane said No Updates (or words to that effect) implying it had successfully checked. I then tried TuneIn and that worked. But when I tried Weather I got a connection error. After that, none of the apps worked. Is it just a coincidence (that the servers all went down again) or did the failure to connect to Weather then affect all the other apps? If the latter, that's p*ss-poor system design/implementation.

I will try the V60 later today.

I wonder, if anyone picking up a new Volvo today, will be able to register it online before leaving the dealers?

The situation is now worse than yesterday for me.
I cannot connect, to even start checking the apps.
