Ratings and reviews

the old app was much better, i don't understand why do you stop it? i could see the status of the car and control it very easily, if the doors are locked, windows closed and etc., in this app i can't find that info, just random buttons and useless information and statistics.

I can search the place in Korean alphabet even English setting the previous app named kia connect. But, in this upgraded app I can't use korean alphabet. You alarm that kia connect app can't be used by 30th April. before shut down the app should be corrected these kind of bug I think.

this app is complete garbage, useless, the previous app was much better, why did you stop it? it showed all the buttons for controls, easy to find and operate, this app shows nothing but useless info and statistics
