Only time I use the app to start is on the acreage and the fob is always in my pocket.

Well no different than losing your fob! We never carry the fob for our Rivian. Walking up to it with our phones unlocks the doors, adjusts the seat and mirrors and starts the phone music playing on the stereo for whoever is in drivers seat. My wife and I carry a backup card we can touch to the door to open it and enable driving, but we keep them in our wallets which are probably more likely to be lost or stolen than our phones!.., i feel you shouldnt need your phone to "unlock" or 'start' your vehicle. old school i guess.
plus i see things going downhill quickly if your phone is ever lost.....
tech is nice but can be deadly....
Even on badlands and outerbanks?This is why the door pad deletion is such a poor decision by Ford.
Or use your Securilock keypad.The convenience's of the phone app is nice, but shouldn’t be relied upon as a substitute carrying your key fob for many reasons.
I also had a problem with the FordPass App this week, trying to start my Badlands with my Apple Watch, and then iPhone. The Apple Watch being another nice convenience.
I really love this technology but still stick to some old school habits. If the app works, great! If not, oh well.
