Kia Access is always there when you need it. Glad I have it.

★☆☆☆☆  What was the point of Updating?
I’ve never had any issues with this app before the updates from this year. Each update is worse from the last one. The app constantly crashes, logs me out, or says it can’t process any of my requests or inquiries. There’s no way to even report a problem to the developer. Fix the app for real!!!!

★☆☆☆☆  Signing in
Please update app to avoid having to sign in every. single. time you leave the app. I know I sound super bratty here but it’s really quite annoying!
— ocrazyhearto   May 3 · v7.27.0
★★★★☆  Lots of features & bugs
It’s a wonderful app but recently almost every time we ask to update car status it gives us an error ‘We cannot process your request. Please try again.’ And it does help not show car location or accurate charge status.
— Droros   May 3 · v7.27.0
★☆☆☆☆  Not super useful
The ability to turn the car on is the most useful feature, but it works about 10% of the time. Other than that, the ability to find your car is nice, but the app is pretty much useless aside from those two features.
— Nbcfrustration   May 3 · v7.27.0
★★☆☆☆  Needs Work
If you’re coming from a Tesla to this be ready for a horrible experience. The app is really slow, and I mean you might as well go run upstairs and get your keys instead of hoping you can remotely unlock your car. Half the time the remote commands timeout, so hopefully that “Charge Now” command outside your scheduled charge actually went through.
— 323tacoman   May 2 · v7.27.0
★★★★☆  Cool Features
It’s nice as long as it works and updates a few things are odd to navigate like the Kia Store you have to back out completely some days the vehicle won’t update
— EV9 Keys   May 2 · v7.27.0
★★★★★  Great work by KIA
This vehicle app is absolutely amazing. KIA you did an amazing job. Congratulations. Well done.
— Babbagenshahaha   May 2 · v7.27.0
★★★★☆  It’s Okay
The app is okay as of now for me. I can do almost everything I need so there’s that. My main complaint is the one feature I mainly used the app for disappeared after the last update. Idk if it’s a bug or if they just discontinued it for my specific car but a heads up and a little more help from customer service would have been nice.
— TayyTayy🥰   May 2 · v7.27.0
★★★☆☆  Not great
Kia needs to learn how to run a reliable service. This app is pretty unreliable :-/
— yogababa123   May 2 · v7.27.0
★☆☆☆☆  After paying, it stopped working
My free subscription ran out so I bought an annual subscription. Now nothing works and when I try to update it says “we cannot process your request please try again” for a month.
— TreeBricker   May 2 · v7.27.0
★★★☆☆  Kicked out
I was kicked out of the app while out for a run and couldn’t get into my vehicle.
— ChristensenK   May 1 · v7.27.0
★★★★☆  Better than average
What I’d like to see is EV navigation in app that supports stop overs so i can plan both ways of a journey. I also want to be able to adjust the charging schedule from in app and have the ability to charge now to override the schedule for an immediate charging need without having to turn the schedule off. I’d also like to see the removal of the on/off button in car like is common in other EVs. The system boot up takes too long when I’m in my garage as I have to wait 20 seconds before I can get to have it openn my garage door.

On your EV charging station map you are showing peak power at NACS Tesla sites which is not achievable for the 800v EV6 to achieve. It needs to know what model I have and adjust. I also want to be able to say what adapters I have so you can route me to a CCS site with faster speeds.
— Bladewil   May 1 · v7.27.0
★☆☆☆☆  Bad app
Paid $100 and app has NEVER worked.
— LAXstar35!   May 1 · v7.27.0

Not worth paying for.

App run really slow when it does work but most of the time it doesn’t work right need to fix all the problems that yall have in the app and it might run a lot faster
— 6)!35@?4&!;5’g   Apr 28 · v7.27.0
★☆☆☆☆  Really?
Kia has had years to fix this app. It is still glitchy and terrible. Locks you out sometimes and then doesn’t work the right way it should on a regular basis. Kia should fix this. We paid a lot of money to buy your cars. Please fix it.
— leif996   Apr 27 · v7.27.0

The add a 2nd driver option doesn’t work.

The people who design this app constantly find new ways to screw it up. Now when I open the app, instead of going to the page for the single car I have registered, it goes to a profile page where I need to select the car and go through menus to get where i want to be. Also, when you click on the battery percentage icon on the homepage, you expect to get links to other options for battery charging like charging limits, but that requires going back to the home page and selecting features. Dumb.

it's an ok app but a third of the time, it can't start my car due to low connection. it's in my garage, just like every other time I remote start it. also, I hate having to select my car every other day. I only own 1 Kia, stop making me select it!

★★★☆☆
It works ok, but the sign in is aggravating. keeps saying wrong password even when I use biometrics. sometimes it works, sometimes not. then I get locked out for 20 min. I never change the password and Google has it saved, so it's not like I enter it incorrectly.

★☆☆☆☆
Update: I did call the number suggested and they were not able to fix the issue. Had to sign in to two different phones with the same login and now one of us gets kicked out constantly. Reducing to one star. Original: Functionality is pretty good but there's a bug making it impossible to add a secondary driver. Worked with call center but still impossible. Sometimes remote commands can't be completed because it says a previous command must finish first even when there was no previous command.

I'm wondering why this so doesn't work for me. I can't lock, unlock or use the remote start from the app at all AND I'm praying for the plus package. I uninstall and reinstalled the app and still it doesn't work. I keep getting the message to try again later.

★★★☆☆
Since the new app update, my Kia Acess will no longer open on my Samsung Galaxy S23 Plus phone. I would love to know if there is a fix for this as I can't get into or use the app anymore. :( 🌟 Update... The app has been fixed on my end as far as opening and getting notifications again. It appears to be working with this exception, I have tried to unlock my car from the app, the app will say the car has been unlocked, but when I actually go to the car it is still locked. I have tried this 3 time

— Hstewa33   Apr 27 · v7.27.0
★★★☆☆  Maintenance
I wish you did your maintenance at a later date. I live in Alaska and in the winter I can’t use my app at 8pm. That’s not acceptable especially for remote start in the winter. You can pick a later time to do your routine maintenance so it doesn’t hurt your West Coast customers.

— Cuse7785   Apr 26 · v7.27.0

I love the Kia Access app because of the notifications, reminders and usefulness. Sometimes I forget to lock my doors and will get a notification then I would lock them remotely

— 2026hospital   Apr 26 · v7.27.0
★★★☆☆  Updates mess up settings
Each time there is an update the settings get messed up. I have it set to not send me alerts if the doors are left unlocked, yet after each update it keeps sending me those alerts even with that option unchecked, have to uninstall the app and reinstall to maybe get it to work correctly.
— Jihn30022   Apr 26 · v7.27.0
★★☆☆☆  Very slow to respond
Updates to vehicle status are slow and unreliable. Starting and stopping charge usually works, but updating maximum charge commonly times out without updating. And those two functions, the only ones I ever use, now require a second swipe or tap to access. They used to be on the front page!
— 4(5)6&   Apr 26 · v7.27.0
★★★★★  Excelente experiencia con mi Kia
Estoy muy feliz con mi Kia, el manejo es increíble, el diseño es moderno y me siento seguro al volante
— Vicente M Segura   Apr 26 · v7.27.0
★★★★☆  Great, when it works!
The login process really should be streamlined. My family and I often have to log back in, which is a hassle. Please let it keep us logged in unless we log out. Thanks! But when it’s working, it’s great.
— BecksterW   Apr 25 · v7.27.0
★☆☆☆☆  What a piece of junk
It says server error after trying to connect the car.
Try to delete vehicle?
Server error.
Try to add a new driver?
Server error.
3 bars of signal, should be strong enough.
— Tujermaj   Apr 25 · v7.27.0
★☆☆☆☆  Charges for everything
I’m already spending money on the car. Why do I have to another monthly subscription for features that this car should come with. Total rubbish.
— Tarsel   Apr 25 · v7.27.0
★☆☆☆☆  App is not always available
App is not always available
— Loving Jason   Apr 25 · v7.27.0
★★★★★  Additional features
I love how the system tracks your travel and how you can mark each trip business or personal. I’d like to see the addition of MPG numbers for each trip.
— MicRaj1960   Apr 25 · v7.27.0
★★★★★  KIA App
Hey KIA—The one and most important feature that “bugs” me is that I can’t make my monthly payment directly within the app without opening another browser—Otherwise the KIA app is great—Updated/Upgrade the KIA Financial piece and the KIA app will be AWESOME!!!
— NikkiNicole1972   Apr 24 · v7.27.0
★★★☆☆  Still slow clunky
Sometimes I just want to open the app and see my battery percentage for the car but that takes an eternity. Lock and unlock commands are shockingly slow. The UI for the buttons is poor, it’s hard to tell if you’re pressing and holding on the right spot, sometimes it takes 2-3 tries.
— enos128   Apr 24 · v7.27.0
★★★☆☆  Mostly helpful
My 2 month old Kia PHEV Sportage won’t charge when I plug it in - related to a glitch with scheduling charging time in the app. If I used an EV app through Sonoma Clean Power I can start the charging with a “boost” selection. I have a case unresolved for weeks.
— MistySonoma   Apr 23 · v7.27.0
★★★☆☆  Subscription fee
I hate the added fee to utilize all the features available to the car. When you buy the top of the line model to include these things they should be included

★★★★★  Mari B
Kia Access is one of the best things I love about my car.
— MariCarrB   Apr 22 · v7.26.1
★★★☆☆  Alerts
Please fix the app, it’s not sending notifications anymore. Trunk was left open for hours and never got any alert.
— Kiaowner2025   Apr 22 · v7.26.1
★★☆☆☆  App cries wolf
The app keeps saying that my windows are open and that it cannot lock my doors when all of my windows are closed
— Deeva40   Apr 21 · v7.26.1
★★★★★  I love my Kia
Five stars
— saro sam   Apr 20 · v7.26.1
★☆☆☆☆  Bait and switch
The dealer never told us that the app was only good for the first year. This was a real bait and switch. We now have 2 kias and I am not keen on paying $300 a year for technology that already exists and I paid for.. This is cheap on Kias part to do this.
— @ironmanai   Apr 20 · v7.26.1
★☆☆☆☆  Needs work
The vehicle range often reads zero when I have fuel and full battery.

The trip history log should include MPG.

Application often opens to choose a vehicle screen. I have one vehicle so there is no reason I have to choose my vehicle each time and than select view details. Poor UI UX.

Would like to see a color similar to my vehicle, not just white.
— mojomanflert   Apr 20 · v7.26.1
★☆☆☆☆  Very basic
App is from 1960. Needs updated for better function
— Ohh1244   Apr 20 · v7.26.1
★★★★★  Convenience
The kids access app makes it convenient to access your vehicle.
— Grateful 21!   Apr 19 · v7.26.1
★★★★☆  Great app
Would give it 5 stars but recently it has been glitching giving me false notifications. I get “your car has been left unlocked” multiple times a day every day and sometimes “movement in car has been detected” when none are actually true. Would like more features even though I have a lower model the car is of the year so more than remote start and lock unlock would be better for a monthly paid app
— KeeMarieR   Apr 18 · v7.26.1
★★★★★  Kia
Love it
— might just get them   Apr 18 · v7.26.1
★★★★★  User Friendly
Everything u need at the tip of your fingers
— C-Bred   Apr 17 · v7.26.1
★★★☆☆  No access
The amount paid for this service is too high, being that half the time the app doesn’t even work. I only gave a 3 star instead of 1 star because I like the idea of the app. I’ve had my car for 5 years, but I may not renew this app anymore.
— VetVetMc603   Apr 16 · v7.26.1
★★★☆☆  Maintenance
Needs to be better, says mine is due for it again in 2029
— Abrooks911   Apr 16 · v7.26.1
★★★★★  Nice Surprise
Works as described
— Spyder_Joe   Apr 16 · v7.26.1
★★★★☆  could be better
app doesn’t update to reflect issues with car (low tire pressure, blinker out, etc)
— ihatepeacocktv   Apr 15 · v7.26.1
★☆☆☆☆  Subscription required
Cannot view anything unless you subscribe. So after buying the car after a few years zero access unless you rent their app. Another money grab
— dlevens   Apr 15 · v7.26.1
★☆☆☆☆  Poor customer service
Three weeks ago I opened a case about an issue that I’m having with the app on my phone and I still have not heard from a single person
— Mot a Happy K5   Apr 15 · v7.26.1
★☆☆☆☆  Pay for basics
All these car companies can kiss my rear on subscriptions to unlock basic features. Next car will not have this. Kia lost a customer
— kiosko13   Apr 15 · v7.26.1
★★☆☆☆  UI Update Needed… still in 2026
The hold to unlock was a nice update… but they forgot that you can’t see the holding indicator if you’re pressing the circular button. To the Kia designers please update this as it’s an easy fix and reflects poorly if you ignore this feedback.

Same goes for any other remote activation.
— OaktownS   Apr 15 · v7.26.1
★★★★☆  Near top of its class, but small issues
Great app, but I just picked up the new 2026 K4 Hatchback and the app displays the Sedan model instead. Please update the vehicle assets for hatchback owners! Also, Kia owners who want to schedule a single startup for only the next day are unable to simply do that, they have to manually set a custom schedule and then delete it once they’re done with it. The Ford app does this well, you’re able to schedule a single startup for the next day as well as set a custom ‘startup schedule’ while Kia only has a ‘startup schedule’ feature.
— gabwe64   Apr 14 · v7.26.1
★★★★★  Not the Best
The app is very glitchy! Two people can’t use it at the same time! Needs some tweaking
— JTST4234   Apr 14 · v7.26.1
★☆☆☆☆  Unreliable!
Commands may or may not work. Locating your car will only work once during a session. You have to logout and log back in to locate again :-(
— CampbellSys   Apr 14 · v7.26.1
★★★★★  More feats
I love this app however I wish they would add more time slots for auto start but other than that 🤷🏽‍♀️🩵
— imaskinnybich   Apr 14 · v7.26.1
★★★★☆  Miles per Gallon
I would love to be able to see miles per gallon as part of trip history.
— Peds.PAC   Apr 14 · v7.26.1
★★★★★  I love this App !!
Excellent and easy to use. Thanks
— Caracas52!!   Apr 13 · v7.26.1
★☆☆☆☆  Stupid
So free for a tiny time then a charge , so if my car is not locked I can’t do anything if my car is stolen I screwed too because nothing is now included!

★★★☆☆  Easy access
You do not neeed the loving every time make easy for customers and faster the loging step take to much time to get access to you vehicle
— VicBoy86   Apr 13 · v7.26.0
★☆☆☆☆  Always down for maintenance
Seriously just find a fix for your app already. The fact we pay for this service and it’s always needing an update and always down for maintenance and once updated needs more bug fixes is crazy. Not even operating right now. So frustrating.
— C.hope.   Apr 13 · v7.26.0
★☆☆☆☆  Charge me for a car I bought
This app was nice to have to set the Climate and unlock the car and lock it if I potentially forgot. But after the first year they make you pay a monthly fee to keep those features. Not even Tesla does that. So a car that I already purchased I’m not able to use the app just to unlock it and unlock.

— Becca222aggjbfy   Apr 12 · v7.26.0
★★☆☆☆  Just…meh
Edit:
As it turned out, my dealer (and my dim view of car dealers has not changed after this interaction) NEVER UPDATED MY CAR. Yep, delivered it to me with no updates, so of course it didn’t charge. The updates were so big, Kia had to send me a link to download / upload via thumbdrive. Ball Kia of National City, CA.
Car charged according to schedule, but now, WILL NOT CHARGE ON SATURDAYS. Why, Kia? Why are you doing this? Do you think I don’t have enough stress in my life I need this???



I have been trying to get the charging schedule set up, and so far, my car will charge as soon as I plug it in, but NOT during the hours I set (sure, I’d LOVE my car to charge when electricity prices are highest! NO).
I have set this schedule in the car AND in the app, with no success, which tells me that this app is basically useless.
So, KIA, is there some secret little toggle that I need to move to get the app to DO WHAT I ASK OF IT?
Really, this should not be so difficult.
Getting ready to uninstall, except I am not sure that the app will delete my info and leave me alone.

— DesmFlood   Apr 12 · v7.26.0
★★☆☆☆  Slowly improving
This app started out years ago just a little bit better than a middle school STEM project. It’s SLOWLY improved but now that it’s not free, Kia owes it to their customers to catch up with improvements and the many glitches that exist.
— Sambovermont   Apr 12 · v7.26.0
★★☆☆☆  Disappointing App
The app is slow to load and refresh with the car data. The map interface to look for charging stations is clunky and overall the pages are not intuitively laid out. I have also been entirely unable to do an OTA update for my navigation as the app says it’s never available.
— Newtokia   Apr 12 · v7.26.0
★☆☆☆☆  Hot mess
Have they been vibe coding the app lately, because half the time I can’t even login. Not sure why I’m paying $200 a year for this app if I can’t even use the features.

★★★★★  A great car

— TCLeo2   Apr 11 · v7.26.0
★★☆☆☆  App not Starting Car
As of late the app has not been starting the car when I select to turn on while at my home. I’ve been using it since I got the car in 2024. Nothing has changed in my end yet it says “low network”…again I’m at my home literally next to the WiFi with full bar and keeps saying the same thing.
— RiveraFelixJ   Apr 11 · v7.26.0
★☆☆☆☆  Very Buggy
The app is consistently buggy and on the most basic functionality. Even on issues that the release notes explicitly say they’ve address. For example, the last release “fixed” the fuel and charge metrics for plug in hybrids. In my case it made it worse. Before it would report outdated info, now often times it removes the battery bar and I can’t even see what percentage it’s at. Refreshing results in connection issues to the Kia server.
— kyumos   Apr 11 · v7.26.0
★★★☆☆  Meh - Needs work
This app feels
like the developers met some original al spec and then stopped working on it. Takes to long to start. Takes too long to connect with vehicle (must go through cloud, which is part of the problem). And finding a charger when traveling was largely useless so I just switched to the charger network apps. I use it to check the SOC and miles traveled and that’s about it. Love the EV6 itself. Thankfully it performs much better than this mediocre app.
— Madcodger   Apr 11 · v7.26.0
★★★★★  Excellent app.
Until they mage you pay a minimum of 15$/mth. Although I’m sure it’s not costing them much to operate it. The world sucks today. Everyone wants more. It’s not enough to buy the vehicle anymore for inflated prices…..they want more. USA, USA.

★☆☆☆☆  Payment
Please allow payments directly in the app. You have to log into the app. Then it redirects you out of the app where you have to log into again. You make it very difficult for me to give you my money.
— Jfsgtddjjffs   Apr 10 · v7.26.0

— Snow in Dallas   Apr 10 · v7.26.0
★☆☆☆☆  This app is trash.
This app is absolutely worthless. It is not worth paying for, given the amount of stuff it does versus what other cars do. It's not even worth it; it's a waste of money.
— RoDMaN's Mac   Apr 9 · v7.26.0
★☆☆☆☆  Not worth the Kia Connect Fee
App doesn’t update promptly. Lately it displays we cannot process your request more times than it logs on. I’ve been paying Kia Connect fee for six years, only because it’s my wife’s car and I can try to monitor it when she’s traveling if it happens to update. If you’re looking for something that’s reliable and convenient don’t waste your time or money this app or Kia connect!
— Ford App works fine   Apr 9 · v7.25.0
★★★★☆  Needs 1 more feature

★☆☆☆☆  Terrible
Worthless app. Can’t change dealership. Called support. They can’t do it. Directs me to dealership 100 miles away.
States next service is 40,000 miles. My car has less than 10,000 miles.
— RickyViee   Apr 3 · v7.25.0
★★☆☆☆  Potentially good; actually not so much
An app that lets me remotely monitor, control, and start my EV6? I can start climate control on a cold morning or blazing afternoon? I can check the charge level and even bump it to 100% before a long drive? Say less!!
But when I really need it, "we're undergoing maintenance," or "service not available," or "failed to communicate with your vehicle."
It's so disappointing because it COULD BE SO GOOD.
— smartwatermelon   Apr 3 · v7.25.0
★★☆☆☆  Glitches
On a PHEV, the battery information will randomly disappear and not show. Even after several restarts and updating of the app. Then the next day it will come back on, and will randomly disappear again. Then when its plugged in and fully charged, it will show “battery 100% “ but will show “range at 0 miles”

Also, the “app support” link takes you to an error page and you cant even report issues with the app.
— Nestoat1   Apr 3 · v7.25.0
★★★★★  Kia App

— Virgo45   Apr 3 · v7.25.0
★☆☆☆☆  What kind of product manager could design an app that sucks this much?!
The ask is simple. Give us the ability to schedule charging based on multiple periods of off peak within a day. Even better allow user to select a different schedule for weekday or weekend.

How hard would it be, I could have implemented this with Claude code in 20 minutes.

Please fix this!

Since the new app update, my Kia Acess will no longer open on my Samsung Galaxy S23 Plus phone. I would love to know if there is a fix for this as I can't get into or use the app anymore. :( 🌟 Update... The app has been fixed on my end as far as opening and getting notifications again. It appears to be working with this exception, I have tried to unlock my car from the app, the app will say the car has been unlocked, but when I actually go to the car it is still locked. I have tried this 3 time

First of all, the KIA app appears as a big letter A in my apps. Why? The location feature is not live. The app keeps making me choose which vehicle even though I only have one Kia. The climate settings won't turn on the climate seats for my 2022 Telluride. When I set the geo fencing alerts it never worked right and the app would not let me turn it off. I had to call customer service to stop the notifications I was getting every 60 seconds. And it took them a week. Worst app I ever used.

Before the recent app update, the app was good. Now it's gone worse. Why do I have to select my car almost every time when I launch the app? Very few people have 2 or more Kia cars in their inventory under the same app. Most of customers may have only 1 car. We need to have the app work instantly and not have the user select different things just to send remote start or Lock/Unlock to your car. Hope Kia developers think of this again and improve...

Update: 4/14/26, Kia Access app is still not showing KW, charge rate. Does anyone designing this app actually drive an electric vehicle? No one needs to know if they are using an L1, L2 or L3 charger. What everone needs to know is the KW rate the vehicle is charging at. This issue has been ignored since last year. For the love of God please fix this. Instead of redesigning the layout fix the shortcomings of the app that already exists. I have two EV6'S which I love but, this app is terrible.

I received my latest update on 01/27/2026. can't use the app for the latest NBA team logo. The app for the remote start is great. 2026 K5 GT1 received another update on 03/26/26. bought the pakage for 90 days. I can't buy any of the latest logo yet.

Finally receiving updates again. but I have to select my car each time now? it's still new, but let's see what else I find. previously: They did it again!! This last update broke push notifications, again. It seems that with this update, I no longer receive alerts from the app. Please fix this. Things still seem to function in the app though.

I have had nothing but problems with this app for my 2023 Kia Telluride. I restarted the app last December and it has repeatedly not worked. I've spent too much time on the phone and emailing Kia. I did all the resets they told me to and I still have problems. At one point it told me that my car had been running all day long and I was nearly out of gas when I had just filled it up the night before. fortunately the app was wrong and despite The app saying I was almost out of gas I still had...

a disappointing app that Kia used to let you use for a year after purchasing and spending over 30 grand on one of their vehicles. The app now won't even open, even after you put in your user name and password...it won't even confirm your Kia is locked anymore...useless! They should supply the app for free, you certainly paid for it many times over when you purchased a Kia for over 32 thousand bucks!!

Functional for the most part. I hate that so many options that are on the car, paid for, are then paywalled behind subscriptions that are super expensive. The app then suffers because there are tons of options cluttering the screen that are grayed out, useless.

I did love this app for months. Unfortunately, the app won't let me login any more. I try, but it keeps saying, "You must login to continue." A red line keeps scrolling across the message box. The login box is grayed out & the log out part is white. I've tried for over a week and can't get anything to change. I'm not sure if I should delete the app & reinstall it. I'm afraid to do that though. I did reinstall the app. Now it seems to be working again!
