Slow. Often Unresponsive

I love our EV6 and hate this app. It is far too often slow and unresponsive, and the required cloud connection appears to be the problem. For the umpteenth time I just sent a Stop
Charging command, only to have nothing happen. I had to stop charging via the charger itself. If there were another way to regularly engage with the vehicle, I’d be all for it. This (and the Kia Infotainment system in general) are the weak points of an otherwise great vehicle.
