Bimmerlink app download?

I have bimmercode but I'm looking to get the bimmerlink app. It's not in the android play store, where do I find this app to download?

That's what I was afraid of. That sucks. Is there a good code reader app for the bluetooth icar adapter?

Did not know it was only on iOS. Maybe get a cheap iPad mini or something and install both on there? Bimmerlink is definitely worth it!

I emailed their customer support twice about adding an android app but never got a response. Doesn't look like they are interested in including android users

Makes sense, they'd pretty much have to rewrite the app. iOS uses Swift/Objective-C, Android uses Java/Kotlin. They probably deemed a rewrite not worth it.

Old iPads are cheap enough, and can be used for things other than Bimmerlink as well. I used to use one as my smart lights controller hub.

I'm seeing an issue being reported by iPhone users with the veepak 2 which is what I have. The reviews and feedback in the istore were from the last 6 weeks. Anyone run into this and not get helpful feedback that didn't result in a waste of money/time. Point being for $30 I expect it to work like BimmerCode since it's the same developer. Just want to make sure I don't run into issues while they may be working out kinks.
