Before updating, when opening the app, it would crash about 50% of the time and would take a long time to open about 25% of the time. Since I updated to 3.2, no crashes and it always opens quickly. Looks good to me!
Force touch on the app icon (i.e from home screen) with:
-Unlock
-Summon Forward
-Summon Back
-Homelink
would be cool

So after reading everyone's comments and looking through all the reviews and Allen's quick response to them I bought the iPhone just for this app for this app. Can't wait to get my Tesla on Tuesday and start using the app.

I also joined the Tesla Owners family on Saturday and bought this app within an hour of getting the car. Still got to read the manual for the app though!
Looks like I fixed the crashing bug for everyone since it's been a few days now and nobody seems to be complaining about crashing on start-up or in general anymore. Force touch is what I'll work on next. I'm only allowed 4 force touch buttons in the menu, so I have to really think about which 4 commands I plan on putting there.

Can the functions of the 4 force touch buttons possibly be selected in Settings? In my case, I don’t have an AP car and wouldn't be able to use Summon, so I may want something else for one of those 4 force touch buttons.

For force-touch buttons:
(1) Can the "Max Heat or Max Cool" be dynamic? Check the interior temp (periodically in the background). If interior temp =< 73F then "Max Heat". If interior temp > 73F then "Max Cool." The option can be "Max Climate." (And, to clarify, it doesn't have to check at the instant it's touched. It goes by the last background query.)
(2) "Lock/Unlock"
(3) "Start Climate"
(4) ??

To each his own, but I'd rather know for sure if I was heating or cooling the car, rather than simply starting climate control and letting the car decide based on the interior temp. What if it's a chilly day and you're driving for a bit with the heater on, and then you need to make a 5 min pit stop? The interior temp might still be warm when you're ready to get back in, and a "start climate" button would then proceed to cool the car down rather than keep things toasty.

The text can still read (dynamically) "Max Cool" or "Max Heat" so you know what you're getting into. Thats why I also proposed just the regular "Start Climate." For a force touch, the odds of someone needing MAX cool or MAX heat within same window are less likely than accidentally hitting Max Cool when it's right next to Max Heat. A five minute pit stop on a chilly day where the interior is still warm doesn't sound like a "Max Heat/Cool" situation. Just select "Climate Start" to go to your set level, no?
From a usability standpoint, I was proposing a way to eliminate 1 of 4 selections that won't be used by the vast majority of users for entire seasons at a time. Having "Max Heat" as a force touch option in July will be almost completely unused.

Owners in some parts of the Southern Hemisphere might disagree with you on that.
Hah... I thought my use of Fahrenheit would warn the worldwide users of a potentially narrow-minded view. Apologizes to Sydney, Australia. :wink:
