"I find that that the remote heating from app works fine but is slow to start". I wonder if the software is so clever, depending on the ambient temperature, that it calculates how long it needs to pre-heat? Although, I have found that the "fans" (heater?) is still running after the set leaving time.
Remote heater from app iffy?
I think Scotts sequence of events covers it well.
APP-VW-CAR-VW-APP
It takes time for feedback into the app.
The heater is on before that cycle completes.

Me too. You can sit and watch the app "synchronizing" until the cows come home, it's incredibly flaky. Switch between the home screen and car screen and you'll probably see two different statuses for heating. That is, if you can actually connect to the vehicle in the first place. Given that there are only two things you can do from the app, you'd think a more robust solution would have been found.
P.S. I couldn't register the app without giving it a name to address me by - just one example of inflexibility. Unfortunately "Your Imperial Highness" doesn't fit on the screen...

All I care about is whether the heating actually starts, which in my experience happens within about 20 seconds regardless of what does or doesn't change in the app.
