Did My Chevrolet app do a major update?

I think there was a significant update to the app. Mine now shows the nearest supported charging station just below the state of charge. It takes a few seconds to show up after I load the app. It was not there yesterday, but maybe it's just my phone? This is version 7.3.0 build 322 (Found in settings- apps -myChevrolet) I have always had location services on while using the app, but now it seems to be using the GPS
Seems like a smart addition

The app loaded in about 7 seconds for me which is probably twice as fast than the previous version. Besides the nearby public charging station addition and a bot more responsive, I do see one item that I think many forum member have been waiting for. The track santa addition. 🎅 🤪

I see that I have the same version this morning. Best thing was that it updated my SOC almost immediately

I’ve noticed one glitch with this new app … wonder if it’s just me. When the app is launched the first time it updates instantly. But if I go back to it later (like 30-40 minutes later) it doesn’t update. I tap Update and it just seems to wait forever. But if I kill the app and reopen it, it updates immediately. (I was charging the car, which is how I know it wasn’t updating.)

I'm still not getting notifications from it when my car is done charging or interrupted. At one point I reset all the settings and it worked for about a week and now it's not. Been this inconsistent for the past almost the 9 years I've had a Chevy (I had a 2016 Volt before my EQEV). Amazing they can't even get this minor function working consistently.

I am able to update to the current SOC anytime I use the app, although it is a bit slower when I hit “Update” than when I initially log in to the app.

The only glitch I’ve experienced is after remote starting. Last night I used the app to remote start, got in the car a few minutes later, and drove maybe 10 minutes to get home. Half an hour later I noticed the app still said the car was started and warming up

I don’t recall ever getting a notification when my car is done charging. I just checked the settings and I am supposed to receive a text. I’ve selected email as well now, and guess I’ll wait and see.

I still don't get any notifications when the car is fylly charged or where the local charging stations are, plus the app loads really slow. I use to be able to start the car to warm up on our cold winter mornings but not anymore.
My build number is 7.3.0. (4411)
Same here. It comes and goes. Sometimes when I turn off notifications in the app, save, then turn them on again and save I get notifications. But it never lasts. As I mentioned in a previous response somewhere (here?) it was like that for the entire 9 years I had my Volt. With the Volt it didn't matter as much. But with a full EV I think it's crucial to know when your car is done or the charging interrupted.
