Finally got access to the site and registered my car. Nice to be able to view the charge level and start the heater.
Once a month, sometimes less. At first it seems unnecessary, but once you learn how to use it, actually is quite handy on days of less than ideal weather (pre-heat in winter, pre-cool in summer, check battery charge, etc.)pncguy said:I've owned my Leaf for just over two weeks now. When I picked it up, they said they couldn't activate the Carwings yet, likely because of the switch-over to NissanConnect. So, I have never used it, and don't really need any of the features. I did sign up for an account and I downloaded the app. Now I have a login and a password, but just as I was about to set it all up it occurred to me that there is the dreaded accept/decline screen, so I have a question:
With the new NissanConnect, do you see the accept/decline screen every time the car starts, or do you do it once and you never see it again?

There are two apps - "Nissan Connect" (which you do NOT want), and "Nissan Connect EV" (which is the one you DO want). Make sure you have the correct app.darelldd said:I give up. Once the app was updated to Nissan Connect (iPhone 6+) I have not been able to log on.
I think he is talking about the correct app. The Nissan Leaf app was updated and changed names in the process. My connection broke too, but was working fine before the update. When I logon to the owners portal, I don't have the tab for NissanConnectEV anymore, even though I reentered the password on the console. The Leaf Link app continues to work, so the connection from the car to Nissan is OK.garsh said:There are two apps - "Nissan Connect" (which you do NOT want), and "Nissan Connect EV" (which is the one you DO want).

Same for me.darelldd said:...
Summary: The app won't even start without complaining. It won't let me log in without complaining. But the Demo works great!
That is funny. I just now paid attention to my phone, and it's 5 hours behind.darelldd said:I've now realized that each update now pegs it at exactly eight hours behind my actual time. Could it be a time zone issue at this point?I
Agreed. Certainly makes it difficult to tell at a glance if you're looking at current statistics.garsh said:That is funny.

The code monkeys who developed this app should be ashamed of themselves. This is second-rate crap.
I was able to log in with no problem, and the app works for getting charging status with about the same failure rate as before. A new feature is native app notifications instead of sms or email, but I haven't gotten that to work yet. Sometimes the configuration page for notification gives me the service unavailable error, sometimes it works, but I've never gotten a notification in a week of trying. Almost every interaction with the app now results in a significant pause as it waits for something online, so it seems that the whole thing is really running in the cloud, not natively.TimLee said:Same for me.darelldd said:...

Notifications from the LEAF have continued to work without any problem throughout the changeover.
And the new app update works for DEMO.
But I guess I'll have to do the sign-in with ID with email as password, and see if it will continue to work.
A really poor changeover approach :?
I can't speak for others, but I'm clicking that arrow and making the thing spin every time. Sometimes it spins for 30 seconds, other times it spins for 20 minutes before I give up. And when it *does* update, the stats are correct, and the time shown is eight hours earlier.knightmb said:You can't tell from the app (bad GUI design), but you have to sorta, kinda, click that "arrow" next to update to get it spinning and then it will update the status.
It took me a few days to figure out where to click to get an update.knightmb said:You can't tell from the app (bad GUI design), but you have to sorta, kinda, click that "arrow" next to update to get it spinning and then it will update the status.
