Thats actually pretty nice. And on the subject of cars: I don't get why (some) people with E-Cars say they are so much "greener" and then use like 10 different apps for the car, recharging, etc. Those servers produce so much, really, so god damn much CO2... (Not saying combustion engines are better, but...)

My Kia Sportage PHEV came with a "Kia Connect" app. There is a monthly charge but I get first 3 years for free. It's got some sort of useful things but I don't really use it much anymore. More likely than not I won't bother to pay for it when the free years are up.
