Cars didn't need apps in the 1900's and they sure as hell don't need them now.
Note it is very nice for me to be able to start the air conditioning in my electric car when it's 38C out before I leave my desk.
Other things are mildly convenient, like checking progress of charging, locking/unlocking doors remotely. It happens to be convenient to check problems, but that's only because the in-car system isn't very good, and I would happily take the in-car system being better.
