App's for Genesis

[pmckechnie]

I was just looking around and went to the app download section of my Genesis. I have never found anything there but this time there were 6 apps available. I downloaded a couple of them and they worked. Have they always been there and I missed them or are they new?

Thanks

What did you download? There's not a Spotify app available is there? Are the apps only available if you have a BlueLink subscription?

Do you have to connect to Home WiFi, or they were automatically downloaded through BlueLink? One time I connected to Home WiFi, and then tried to initiate downloads. I forgot what the message was, but it would not do it.

What were the 6 apps? I thought there were 3 (Alert Service, Pandora, Aha) available on the 2015 Genesis as of a month ago. I haven't checked since then.

The apps available were:

Car Care
Alert Service
Yelp
Location Sharing
SoundHound
Aha radio

It downloaded Aha Radio through my home wifi to the Genesis.
I then downloaded the Aha Radio app to my phone.
I started the Aha radio at the Genesis, it then started the Aha app on my phone through blue tooth and the phone downloaded a song and sent it to the Genesis by blue tooth.

If you understood that, you are better than I am and I was the one who wrote it.

After looking at all the apps I don't see any of them that I will use.
Hopefully this is indication of something more useful in the future.

As I have stated in earlier threads, I dot think Hyundai should be in the software business and CarPlay and AA were probably meant to fill that void. There is a graveyard of automotive app systems and in general, car makers are good at that stuff. I would not lose sleep waiting for these BlueLink apps - they are likely slow to come if at all.
