MySkoda Essentials user reviews :
Overall a good application. Ocazional issues with logging in, synchronizing data with the car (including sending commands) but the one that bugs me the most (pun intended) is the fact that window heating is only available by mistake when the app doesn’t synchronize correctly with the car and then, of course, any command sent to the car is dropped. What is up with that? All in all, thank you!
- Dear Mr. Scutaru, thank you very much for your feedback. Would you please contact your local support to be able to check the availability of the window heating function specifically in your car – phone +3330037504 (for UK) or via the iCall button in your car. Your ŠKODA Connect App Team
Half of the time, the features of the app don’t work. I have an Enyaq IV, and most of the time, I cannot reliably adjust my departure plan for hours at a time; the charging features just show a bug report; these are the 2 most important features, and they almost never work…

After updating the app to the newest version, I can’t log in without allowing Skoda ID related profile data. Not sure why I should. Then when I did not want to accept the marketing emails, again I got an error message of something went wrong. Finally, with the third try I managed to sign in (still not sure if the marketing preferences were ticked or not). The UI is fancy, however usability of the old UI seemed better. The pictures in Play Store show coloured cards for the cars, mine is greyscale
The app has plenty of features. But, you cannot login, you cannot get updated info or change configuration. It has a lot of bugs and timeouts. I’ve followed the advice to clear the app cache. It worked. The problem is that I have to do that every time I want to use the app. It’s clearly an Android App issue. Why can’t Skoda make a working app?
- Hello, we are very sorry for this inconvenience. As to the described troubles with the login you can try to clear the cache of ŠKODA Connect App in your smartphone. Would the troubles still remain please do not hesitate to contact us on the phone number +3330037504 (for UK) or via the iCall button in your car. Your ŠKODA Connect App Team
