User Reviews
sometime HDR reset works, sometimes it don’t, generally pretty happy… until my free sub to kia connect runs out anyway lol
A recent update removed my ability to activate my ventilated seats under my custom remote start controls. Please add this back as soon as possible!!
This app is worthless. I am handicapped and I try to start my vehicle once in a while. But no, the app won’t let me. What kind of bs. is this. Fix this nonsense.
Recently (past couple months) it’s been acting up, claiming I have no vehicles and that I need to add one. Closing and reopening a few times seems to get it to work but it’s annoying
The absolute best thing KIA did was make this app! Love it here 😊
I’ve had nothing but trouble since I purchased my Kia have not been happy at all with the car and certainly not the app and they charge you way too much to get any of the features that you really want!
I understand charging for more features, but not providing ANY basic functionality in free version is beyond poor customer service.
It said I had 5 years on my free trial but after owning my car a little over 2 years it says my trial has expired and it wants me to pay for it.
Not in MA
How do I access Kia access to use on my phone?
Muy buena app funciona muy bien puedes controlar todo desde la app actualizaciones constantemente
Why did you remove the check engine codes from app? This is very unfortunate and ridiculous
