Feels a bit clunky

Doesn’t feel like when you press a button like it’s done. I think when you unlock a car, it should just show loading button until the car is unlocked or locked. Instead it shows nothing and then if you press it again it says the information sending is still in progress.

Doesn’t feel like it’s a fully throughout app.

Doesn’t really do anything

Maybe it connects with the car but doesn’t actually do anything.

Garbage support

Bought used and for 2 weeks can’t access Kia access , tech support must be mentally ill ,no solution or contact back after submitting several items both ownership docs and about the car , everything but giving a drop of blood and still doesn’t work, will be the last Kia I buy

Good but can be great with some tweaks

Study the Tesla app in terms of features, functionality, and usability and apply to Kia. For example, Kia EVs come with cameras all around the vehicle. Use them to implement Sentry mode.
