OK unless mine has not upgraded for a while, does the home screen consist of a XC90 from above with a lock and fan to the left ?
the top view of the XC90 is not a line drawing like it used to be more like a photo Last edited by Arty68; Jun 15th, 2021 at 10:27. |

Try closing the app and restarting.
Volvo have enabled the 'new look' overnight but I wonder if it hasn't been made available to all. I got a message on startup that I had 'early access' to the new look and could revert to the old design in App Settings. However you can't switch between the two designs at will - if you revert back to the old design you will not get the new look until it has been officially released.

Volvo advised me if i have any problem with new app that they released I should restart/re-install the app but if this not helps that i need to contact dealership for solving that problem.
About early access design i really like it but today in the morning app refused to start engine and i decided go to old design as at least that was working fine for me for last fortnight.

I updated to iOS Volvo Cars app version 5.0.1 yesterday but didn't get the new interface. I've just closed and restarted the app now (by that I mean swiped up from the very bottom of the screen to access the app switcher and then flicked the app up to cause it to completely close), and this time I had to log in again and way then presented with the new version.
So far it seems like an update in form over function. It may look a little slicker (debatable), but I no longer have the option to remote start the car, only to start the remote climate. Given that remote climate on a B5 simply blows in fresh air at the ambient outside temperature, this isn't worth a lot to me. In addition, there is no info regarding the air cleaning status and no option to clean the cabin air, which I had previously. I hope the option to remote start the engine comes back, but I wouldn't be surprised if they are sneaking this feature away, as it probably not the most environmentally acceptable feature this year. :wq

I found the new user interface a bit long winded for remote starting so reverted back to the original interface via app settings.

Also, if I press and hold the Volvo Cars app icon on the homescreen, I only have the option to start parking climate. I've attached a few images for everyones info: 1. The message I got after starting the app today offering the new look 2. The options I have if I press and hold the Volvo Cars icon on the homescreen. 3. The main (first tab) of the app. 4. The main (first tab) of the app after swiping left 5. The main (first tab) of the app after tapping the climate (fan) icon. :wq

I don't know why product designers do this, its changing things for the sake of changing things, not making the user experience any better. Really don't know what this new app is bringing at present. :wq
