 ==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{{Citation needed}}. The inability to control charging currents and monitor vehicle status has led to widespread dissatisfaction among ŠKODA Citigo e iV owners{{Citation needed}}. 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.

 ==Workaround==
 Although the Move&Fun app has been removed from Google Play and Apple App Store{{Citation needed}}, users of Android devices can still download the apk file from from third party repositories and install it.{{Clarify|maybe add link to trusted source, (good idea! but dont know where)}}. 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. Maps + More was updated in July 2025 with unspecified bug fixes to version 6.2.2, but the charging functionality appears to have been removed{{Citation needed}}.
