Roundel Letter Writer Trashes BMW Apps

I'd love to link it here, but you can only get the mag online as a pdf. For those who don't know, it's the monthly mag from the BMWCCA.

Anyhoo, the guy really thinks the Apps suck. First off, by initiating it, the system kills your Bluetooth streaming. Also apparently, it doesn't automatically kick back on when you take the phone out of the cradle forcing you to search how to turn it back on.

Also, there are issues with what you can control on the phone vs. iDrive, forcing you to manipulate the phone and take your attention off the road.

So my point in posting this, since I have an F30 on order with the Apps, is to ask if I should cancel or are they worth getting?

BTW, yes I've searched and didn't find that much on the topic.
