### 1/5 — Things need a lot of improvement

*2026-08-09*

Remote functions does not work all the time. They use Vodafone network which is bad in all the areas. The maps are not that great. No major upgrades so far.

### 1/5 — Still in 2000 - worst UI

*2026-08-04*

App Store Review (2★)

The driving history is completely inaccurate. Instead of showing the actual route, GPS coordinates, and locations visited, the app displays the same default map and default location names for every trip. This makes the driving history unreliable and almost useless.

The UI also feels outdated and needs a major refresh. A tracking app should accurately display the real start and end locations, route, and coordinates, but this app fails at the most basic functionality. Please fix the map data and modernize the overall experience.

### 2/5 — Worst Experience

*2026-07-24*

This could have been a wonderful app given the features but doesn’t function or respond 70% of the times

### 4/5 — Update

*2026-07-23*

There should be also a feature should be fix without app also window should be open with key features like Vw Cars hope this will fix soon

### 3/5 — No pollution data showing

*2026-06-24*

No pollution data collect After App update please check and remove this issue 
Thanks

### 4/5 — Overall good

*2026-06-03*

Please add Digital Key to touch feature

### 5/5 — I don’t have a Kia but I want to tell something

*2026-05-26*

Hey Kia you should make a car that has 6 seats 2 in the front 2 in the middle and 2 in the back and the front and the middle seats should be massager captain seats with a remote to control them , and the car should have high voltage , enough space to walk to move to they front and back seats and should be at least 5 feet tall so that you could stand in it and it should be in all India states , cost under ₹30 lakh and should get more than a 3star in safety testing ( here’s what you can do to get that : add bulletproof glass everywhere in the car and make the car exterior out of Grade 5 titanium ) and add a soft carpet for the floor of the car trust me soon they will get sold out fast and I will buy it too…

### 5/5 — Kia always best to drive

*2026-02-28*

We all love Kia even my children they come from us they love to drive

### 4/5 — Switch to Google Maps

*2026-02-25*

Mappls map is not got and overall app need some bug fixes and cosmetic changes

### 1/5 — Worst Navigation System

*2026-01-12*

I had a very bad experience with Kia connect. 
They claim to provide excellent services which is a big LIE. 
The navigation system is worst of all I have ever seen, do not follow Kia connect’s map, google maps are better.
The voice calling system also doesn’t work properly.
Not at all worth the price, many got wasted.
