Move&Fun app discontinuation (2025)

[edit | edit source]
Main article: Skoda Citigo Move&Fun app discontinuation

On 1 January 2025, Skoda removed the Move&Fun mobile application. The app served as the primary infotainment and vehicle management interface for the Skoda Citigo-e iV electric vehicle, connecting via Bluetooth at no cost to the owner.[1] Skoda directed owners to the cloud-based MySkoda app, which requires a paid subscription and cellular connectivity.[2] The Citigo-e iV's MOD1 telematics hardware cannot connect to 4G/LTE networks, and the 2G/3G networks it depends on are being shut down across Europe starting in 2026, with wider decommissioning in 2029 and later.[3]
