BMW Apps do work with (some) Android phones , however a smaller number of apps and in order to get it to work you have to have the BMW App NOT installed before you plug in the phone via the USB connector. Once the phone is connected you install the BMW App and it should show up in your iDrive
As others have said the Apple experience is unfortunately much better / smoother .
I wish BMW would pay more attention to the Android market
For example MOG works great with Apple devices and BMW, on Android it may take a few attempts to just get it to work and often it will get stuck and not allow you to switch back etc (also the user interface is much more limited on Android/MOG than Apple/MOG)
