But lacks important function of a detailed power reports. -- AaronMcHugh, 2024-12-09 ### **--- "Slow" It’s slow and clunky. I really wish there was support for widgets, Siri or iOS automations as well. And a watch app -- andrewthe1st, 2024-12-07 ### *---- "Slow, unfinished" Really bad. This needs a lot of development -- glasgowuk2002, 2024-11-30 ### *---- "2024 car not compatible" Very odd that my 2024 Kia sportage is not compatible for this app. -- sskzie, 2024-09-19 ### *---- "Broken under iOS 18" When launched under the very recent iOS 18 update an error screen reporting that the phone is jailbroken pops up and the app refuses to go any further. -- retrojcd, 2024-09-17 ### *---- "Not updated for ios18" I updated to iOS 18 and now the Kia Connect app thinks my phone is jailbroken (which it is not) and shows a warning and closes. Wait for an update if one comes. -- Lewkas, 2024-09-17 ### **--- "iOS 18 public update" Update on rollout is slow. It’s been more than 3 months since Apple announced iOS 18 update in WWDC24 June. Now it’s September, Apple has launched their iOS 18 publicly and KIA connect app doesn’t work on a public version of iOS 18. Last historical update was 9 months ago If you want to be seen as a future looking, integrated modem company, please put more effort to your smartphone app that people carry with them 24/7 and everywhere. Or perhaps people within KIA themselves don’t use their own Kia Connect app? Or worse, don’t drive Kia at all. -- mils.l, 2024-09-16 ### *---- "App version locked and not compatible with iOS 18" Horrible app, I updated to iOS 18 and now it says the app don’t work with mailed breaked phones. Update the app please -- Holyman2k, 2024-09-16 ### *---- "IOS18 Not Supported" App not supported for iOS 18, coming up saying phone is jailbroken. -- JO55SH, 2024-09-16 ### *---- "Broken on iOS 18!" The app says my phone is jailbroken and doesn’t allow me to access my car. Fix this now please KIA! -- Jase Lynch, 2024-09-16 [View all Kia Connect reviews and detailed analytics on AppTail](https://app.apptail.io/signup?utm_campaign=ai-crawl&utm_content=reviews) ## Kia Connect Store Rankings | Chart | Country | Category | Rank | |-------|---------|----------|------| | Top Free | Australia | Lifestyle | #49 | ## Apps Similar to Kia Connect - [My NRMA](https://apptail.io/app/my-nrma-Gs/australia) - [Budget Direct App](https://apptail.io/app/budget-direct-app-raE/australia) - [Holman Home](https://apptail.io/app/holman-home-HEN/australia) - [Budget Direct Rewards](https://apptail.io/app/budget-direct-rewards-NEN/australia) - [WiseList](https://apptail.io/app/wiselist-zSN/australia) - [MyPlace](https://apptail.io/app/myplace-ETT/australia) - [Daikin Airbase](https://apptail.io/app/daikin-airbase-Xsnf/australia) - [IMO Car Wash AU](https://apptail.io/app/imo-car-wash-au-myYh/australia) - [B&D Smart Garage Access](https://apptail.io/app/bd-smart-garage-access-tyYh/australia) - [Hyundai Bluelink](https://apptail.io/app/hyundai-bluelink-kDYh/australia) --- ## About AppTail [AppTail](https://apptail.io) is a mobile app intelligence platform providing app analytics, ASO (App Store Optimization) tools, keyword tracking, competitor analysis, revenue estimates, and review monitoring for iOS App Store apps.
