Ratings and reviews

Its kind of useless. Only works when its plugged in with USB. Even when its plugged in, it barely works. Constantly says its waiting for a Bluetooth connection on my phone, but never connects. I have to use Android Auto. Because for some reason my car doesn't have navigation. Can't use UVO and Android Auto at the same time. Let me rephrase. Its completly useless.

Doesn't work!!! I hook up to the car and 1/4 of the time it will start transmitting(3/4 NOT AT ALL) diagnostics but ALWAYS fail and say I have to reconnect my phone etc. FIX THIS APP!!! what is the point of this app if it doesn't work with the car it's meant to be used for? Mind you this worked for a long time with ny 18 optima (current car) out of nowhere, stopped. Right when I was having engine trouble and check engine lights come on. Go figure.

Doesn't really work. I have set up the application, and it has displayed my car mileage. Took the vehicle for several trips, and the mileage still has not updated. Parking minder also doesn't work. Every time I switch the engine off, the app states that it cannot transmit my parking location and refers me to my app. Had the same problems with my prior smartphone (actually purchased a new smartphone hoping that my old smartphone was the issue). It is a shame that KIA cannot build functional app.

What's new

Android SDK upgrade.
