I do not see a way to turn on the zone lighting

That has to be about the most disappointing app update I've ever seen....
No real new features.
No real new features.
- Am I supposed to be excited that I don't have to hold the button down to lock my doors. Or that I can slide to start. Oh -Happy Happy Joy Joy..... My world is so much better.
- Let's bury things like Oil Life and Tire Pressure deeper in the interface.
- Take away access to information like Warranty coverage.
- And my service history now shows that I've had my truck serviced at a Ford dealer that hasn't existed in YEARS..... and when it did they were 300 miles away!
- Hold your Broncos. I stand corrected. New feature alert - I can now beep my horn and flash my lights remotely when I'm lost in a parking lot and I can't see my taller than just about everything else vehicle. I know not everyone driving a Ford has a Bronco and old people driving a Lincoln need help finding their vehicle when they inevitably forget where they parked. Yes I resemble that demographic.

can't wait for 5.0.1
- dark mode on iOS doesn't exist (despite phone settings)
- onboarding was rough; had to restart then all the "flashing"? idk how to explain but it seems I got passed all that on subsequent openings
- UI - likes: The lock/unlock big buttons and the slider to turn it on; feel they went with a google type design system there.
- UI - dislikes:
- there's a lot of room for the image of the truck and "Vehicle parked". I know... it's parked... why do we need that much real-estate for a non-functional 'status'? When I'm driving does it say "driving"? and why would I care if I can't use the app while driving? Anyway.
- Some stuff like oil SITREP is 3-4 clicks in... if there's "active alerts" that should be right up front on the main truck page - maybe where "vehicle parked" is at.
- The Tire pressure image isn't my truck... assuming everybody's defaults to an F-150? Make it our vehicle; expected and a nice touch.
otherwise... feels okay; looking forward to point release patches.

Since the update I can't use the app to lock/unlock my '23 Bronco. Start/stop works fine. I reverted to the old version and still can't. It works fine with my '19 F150. I contacted support today and they stated there is a known issue with the lock/unlock not working on '23MY and they are working on it.
Click on Service, then Vehicle Health.

Somewhere in the bowels of FoMoCo:
"Okay, how much do we have to spend to meet the minimum of what we might be legally obligated to provide with this app?"
...
"Okay, go 10% below that. No Ford owner has the legal resources to fight us over that."

So, did they bring back the ability to enter your own maintenance?
I’ve had it for about a week or two now. The one thing that really annoys me about it is you need a passcode on the Apple Watch (not sure about others but most likely) to start the Bronco from my watch/use any remote features. You used to not need one… wish that would go away

They put the Trail App team on it.

Among other things I notice it no longer tells you when the vehicle location was last updated. I cannot seem to force it to refresh either.
It seems to give us less information rather than more. With these vehicles already smarter than I am, I would think the app could tell us much more, not less.

Just tried to use new version to schedule maintenance appt and when it gets to date/time there’s a box at bottom that blocks the ability to tap on date/time. 
I'm running V4 and I entered my own maintenance event a few weeks ago.
It just popped up on my apps to update but now I’m not sure if I want to just yet. For those that have would you recommend to go ahead or wait it out?
Had it for a week or so. I like the old one better, but whatever. It's not like it's gonna kill me or anything, so I'll live with it.
I do kinda like the dark mode, though
