This app really adds to the ownership of the Rivian vehicle. It shows location of your truck, cabin temperature, ability to preheat or precool cabin when parked, charging locations, and the state of charge/charging graph. It also has notifications if the alarm from gear guard is activated. It can access the owners manual and current OS of the truck. I assume OTA updates will be controlled by the app. Can also see the different ways to open/close the truck with fob, phone, wristband, or nfc card. This app is constantly improving and getting updates increasing the functionality of the vehicles.

The app would improve customer experience when Rivian begins to fully support Apple Pay for enhanced data security and privacy rather than asking to store financial account data. Support for CarPlay would be great to be able to use alternate navigation, route planning, enhanced audio/media options, charging infrastructure, overland tracking and routing, and countless other functions. One critical R1 feature request is support for 2 different wheels sets either via the app or the onboard system. Given Rivian offers 3 different wheel sizes, for owners that need to have 2 wheels sets for any number of reasons ranging from mandatory winter tires or having an All Terrain set and a highway set, it would be great to have our R1 programmed with support for two sets and to be able to select the set rather than scheduling a visit to a service center every time tires need to be swapped either seasonally or for a trip or other need. For example we have a need to use studded winter tires. They will be a good fit for the 21” or 22” wheels while we also need a set of AT tires on 20”. Support for both sizes and to select between them in app or in our R1 would be a powerful feature.

Edit: thanks for adding shortcuts! I can hopefully create an NFC automation now to u lock. Next please add climate options to shortcuts. That way I can creat automations like “if I’m on home WiFi, and it’s 7am and below 50degrees outside, then start climate for 20 minutes” This app would be much better if it worked like BMWs where you can tap the phone to the door to lock/unlock. Including with Apple Watch. Proximity locking fails sometimes and having to unlock and open the app to unlock the doors is a pain. Make it so you can use the phone like the keycard and tap to lock/unlock in case proximity fails. Would be MUCH more convenient. Also allow scheduled climate settings. Give push notifications when proximity unlock/lock happens. Also allow shortcuts support so we can make our own shortcuts, like NFC tap to lock/unlock the doors :)
