UVO eco

Works fine but limited. Can't set charging to stop at a particular time. Won't remember login name or password. Won't check tire pressure. Some time lag but nothing I can't deal with. Very handy in checking on my cars status or locking the car remotely.

Gotta love the new design. The experience is a bit better also. Sometimes commands take a while to go through to the car, but i guess that could be due to the car being in a low signal spot

Just got my kia soul EV and was I surprise how bad this app is my Chevy spark was so much better I could cool the car when not pluged in it was way faster it would text me if the car stopped charging . KIA every other maker of EV's let's you run the ac or heater while the car is unplugged why don't you... Solve this problem so many people complaining about it... Update other than looking better from the last app it's still slow as can be and will not start the ac/heater unless pluged in... JOKE OF AN APP

[edit after 14 months] There is no way I can consider getting another Kia EV or even extending the current lease. It's hard to imagine Kia might put out an EV competitive with Tesla's Model S or 3, but if they did, it wouldn't really be an option. I just can't fathom having to deal with this app. ------------------------------------------- I will not buy another Kia if the app doesn't improve and support fingerprint authentication or simply rely on Android OS security and not require a password for every.... single... login. Furthermore, if the app can't provide the charge state quicker than walking out to the car and checking it manually, why the hell did you bother?

App has great features and usability with the recent update, but vehicle communication is way too slow and alternate login methods (pin) would be nice.

#1 fix the logout issue: use fingerprint or extend logout to 30 days+ of last login #2 speed up the refresh rate to get charge status: must be seconds not minutes #3 fix the missing notifications when charging complete (app, text, e-mail) are failing 75% of the time #4 auto refresh when app is launched, don't wait for user to tap the refresh button Fix all those and you'll get a 5 star review from me!

Have a Kia soul ev. Thein car uvo says call kia. Kia people say dealership. Dealership says call kia... Trash

Good app, but could use improvement in the login process. Takes some time to connect to car, which is understandable. Great way to check on charging and car status. Please allow the app to save password or use fingerprint to login, so we don't have to enter password for every time.

Please add fingerprint sign on in the android app

Can't even log in

great app

Can't log in..so what good is it?? Sucks..what a joke.

They seem to have removed that annoying sound that played at startup, thankfully, but the silly animation still happens. Still can't set it to remember passwords. Still can't charge car when it's not plugged in. I have lots of scenarios where that's useful. Just have to use my LEAF instead.

Need ability to save login information, typing every time is overkill, it is why we have lock screens. Also, colors should be coordinated. Top status page says 'Locked' in red, but image below has locked being blue, with red being unlocked. This always causes me a panicked second glance.

No apps for download other than Yelp, no upgrade app or UVO unit software for Android Auto... Slow to update status.

Needs a quicker log in ui like pattern or fingerprint. Takes waaaay to long.

Annoying to have to login every single time! Also, I have no clue how to turn off all the notifications. Every single action sends me an email and an SMS.

Would be real helpful to remember password, just like bank apps, GMC OnStar, and Honda EV Fit apps do. I use this app a lot and phone already has secure fingerprint and pin. Surprised app hasn't been updated since 2014. Lots of good suggestions here for Kia to make improvements.

Really?! Just bought brand new top of the line Kia and you won't let me access b/c of rooted or jailbroken phone! Seems like a good reason to cancel purchase and return the vehicle.

Developers are the 'error', not the user...lol

What business is it of yours if my device is rooted? I bought your car so why am I a second class citizen if my device is rooted?

Although this app can be useful with a strong WiFi signal, I haven't used it beyond checking the charge status, which is agonizingly slow. This is a problem, especially when the charger had stopped, since the app doesn't alert you that it stopped. You have to log in, wait, check status, wait, then notice the charge rate hasn't changed for the past 30 minutes.

It works ok. Having have to login every time is really annoying ... Please fix that. Slow speed is not apps fault ... I'm guessing the free 3g (?) connection the car have is the reason for the slow response.

It's really annoying that this app has an animation and a sound that plays every time it starts up. I just want to get in and do what I need to do! It also doesn't have an option to remember my password. Otherwise it seems to work.

I can't tell if I hate it because the app terminates itself on my rooted phone. WTF, Kia? I will go out on a limb and suggest that the overlap between EV owners and Android rooters is substantial. This is a big FU to your core customer base.

Other than that the app does what it's supposed to do

Meh

Wow I can unlock my door. I can cool my car only if it's plugged in. If I want to waste 3 miles in range to cool my car before I get out of the office it should do it.

App doesn't work if detected unlocked or rooted user. Lamest thing I've ever seen. Most rooted users are way more security prone than non rooted. Someone fd up making this app that way. Worry more about UI than a tech savvy user who'd otherwise give a good review. Sad.

Super slow. It's faster to go outside and do everything from the car defeating the point. It also makes me log in every time I open it which also takes forever. Doesn't work on tablets. I recently rooted my phone to embed security software into the ROM & now it won't work. I get an error when i open it noting it detected a rooted device. For some reason the developers have taken it upon themselves to decide what I'm allowed to do with my phone. No other app including banking apps care. Why do they?

LOVE the stats that app provides , HATE that app doesn't support rooted android 4.4 devices

The app works but requires a password each time. It should have an auto-login setting. Also, the app makes a lot of noise on startup. This is terrible if checking on your car's charge status while in a meeting.

Works fine but limited. Can't set charging time to disconnect at a particular time. Otherwise this is a fine app and seems to work quite well. Some time lag but nothing I can't deal with. Very handy in checking on my cars status.

Best Ev app ever! I had no problems installing and using it

Can't log in..so what good is it?? Sucks..what a joke.

App hates root phones. Unacceptable

Have a smart phone and can't download the app wow!!!

Doesn't work!
