==Application discontinuation==

The discontinuation of the Move&Fun app has resulted in the removal of critical features that were integral to the driving and ownership experience. The inability to control charging currents and monitor vehicle status has led to widespread dissatisfaction among ŠKODA Citigo e iV owners. The company offered an alternative through the MyŠKODA app, but it requires a paid subscription{{citation needed}} and an internet connection, contrasting with the original Bluetooth-based, free solution.

As of 20/5/2025, the VW equivalent app for the e-UP (Maps + More) is still available in both app stores and appears to be compatible with the CITIGOe-iV.
