Ah yes best possibile experience is this: (from the ars Technica article about it)

"Sadly, this app now displays advertisement at the very top and I cannot find a way to disable it," writes one Play Store reviewer (Google doesn't provide links to reviews). "This is very disturbing and on top of it, it moves my garage opening button out of the visible part of the screen. So to use it I now have to first look at the ads, then scroll down and hope to find my button."

Gross. Hard pass.

This is what it looks like now. The ad always occupies that space at the top

Ahhh, subscription for being integrated in a car. While instead with home assistant you could just say hey [assistant] open the door

Too bad they have a monopoly in the NA market
