### 1/5 — Mad

*2026-03-25, version 3.7.7*

This app use to work wonderfully for my 2017 Kia Sorento, nothing now. I’ve been trying to use it to diagnose my car since my check engine light came on (which I’ve done in the past) it keeps giving me instructions for set up but nothing is working, I’m sure I know why the light is on being it just happened earlier this month and I just had my engine replaced last May (gas cap) I would still like to use the feature I was so use to using in the past highly disappointed with this being this was more convenient then going and having the code pulled to understand what was going on

### 1/5 — Mostly useless

*2026-03-13, version 3.7.7*

I value the parking minder feature but it rarely works. When my iPhone is connected to Apple Car Play, the app often says it’s not. And lately the app says KIA services are not available. Basically useless

### 1/5 — Won’t work

*2026-03-12, version 3.7.7*

Every time I try to register it says server error

### 1/5 — Can’t log in

*2026-03-12, version 3.7.7*

Update:  I got a response to call into a number.  I called in. They had no clue. They said they believe the app is no longer supported.  Not sure why this is not documented here in the notes.


Can’t log in anymore.  Did they stop supporting older accounts/vehicles

### 2/5 — Cannot connect

*2026-03-11, version 3.7.7*

Keeps saying service is not available. Do we need to access a different way???

### 2/5 — Used to be good

*2026-03-08, version 3.7.7*

App mostly says “Service Unavailable” or “Unable to Connect to Server” these days.

### 1/5 — Can’t log in

*2026-03-08, version 3.7.7*

Can’t log in anymore.  Did they stop supporting older accounts/vehicles

### 1/5 — Useless

*2026-02-19, version 3.7.7*

‘15 Sorento with “eServices” that don’t do anything…. At this point the software in the car is so useless you can’t connect an iPhone to it without it crashing entirely. Literally having to rest the radio to get it to do anything. At this point we’re just using a Bluetooth fm transmitter.

### 1/5 — FAIL

*2025-06-02, version 3.7.7*

Will not let me link to my phone, always says FAIL

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2025-04-02, version 3.7.7*

When you create a account it doesn’t allow you to log in after asking for new passwords over and over
