It's not really your issue, it's the software designers' issue. I bet someone brought up that it wasn't going to be obvious that that section scrolls left/right to users in a design review, and was shut down by "we'll make the right card partially obscured to make it 'obvious' it scrolls." And then went on to implement as pictured:

You'd think that after releasing the s/w elsewhere, and it's been more than a few months, the feedback and bugs would have been fixed/applied by the time it made it to the USA. But, with any s/w, things change...sometimes for the better, and sometimes not!

Yep, that bottom tab absolutely made me try to swipe, but just as you pointed out it doesn't.

I just sent a Lowe's address to my 45e on 11/2020.64. I don't recall having to click on the BMW Connected icon before with just the Connected app on my iPhone 12 Pro, but after clicking on it, all my received destinations popped up without a need to enter login credentials. was that icon there before the MyBMW app?
It was for me at least 1-2 weeks before the mybmw app.

So i completely uninstalled both apps, and re-logged using the forgotten my password link.
Still - same error ? What the ?
Same issue with my Galaxy S9.

If you look at the Reviews in the Google app store, you will see that BMW SW dev replies that they are aware of the issue and working on it. Really? What complete idiots, they roll out an app to Google app store that doesn't work on Android. If I did that in my job, I'd get the sack so fast.

The only two jobs that a person can be incorrect all the time and not get fired.
Weather forecasters and software writers.

I was also thinking the same..

I think the old app was much better, it shows all details without the need for any scrolling and you can expand on menu item if you need...

Also don't know why they remove the "Horn" feature... i have used it so many times to find the car in parking lots.... this is a bummer...

I found a fix to get it working on Android (if you were erroring). Authentication would never work in Chrome.

I had Firefox installed as an accessory browser. So, when you go into the MY BMW app, and it launches Chrome to authenticate, just copy the URL. Then go into another browser (Firefox worked for me), and paste the authentication URL. Log in there, and I was able to continue to the My BMW app.

Yup, it is such a step backwards compared to the old app, just amazes me!
