If you haven't used the car much and the app is doing odd things check the 12v battery. Not joking. Needn’t have worried, it just needed a run. Was out for half an hour at lunchtime today and the app functions are operating as expected again. Possibly it has a power-save setting to preserve the 12V battery if it’s not used for a few days — especially after its prolonged arse-sit in the workshop. Although it would be a pity to come back from holiday to a frigid airport car park and not be able to trigger a remote precondition. Trivial problem, if it’s a problem at all. I’ve not noticed anything similar from the i3, even when it’s been left at home for a couple of weeks, but that’s an older design with a simpler architecture and less to protect.

The app for my car would stop doing remote functions like lock/unlock or remote start after 9 days. When the 12v battery started to die that got shorter and shorter eventually shutting down functions after a day or two. What killed the battery was a particularly cold spell below -7°C for around three weeks when i didn't use the car, I should have plugged the charger in, I didn't, the rest is history.
