Try deleting the phone app, (or at least forcing it closed) and reinstall (or reopen).
Turns out your solution was really close. I tired re-installing the app, clearing cache and data, no luck. Then I went back to the Google Play Store and searched for UVO again. Turns out there are 2 UVO apps. The regular eServices app and the UVO eco app. Despite the owner's manual pointing you towards the eServices app you really want the eco version.Try deleting the phone app, (or at least forcing it closed) and reinstall (or reopen).
it is definitely a pain to set up with a whole lot of unnecessary steps. Now that i have the eco version of the app it seems to be working pretty well. The response to commands can be a bit slow at times though.So far the UVO has been nothing but worthless...... Every time I shut the car off I get the message that the app failed to work.... junk, good thing the purchase of the car did not depend on the app working!
Oh I agree the whole thing has limited usefulness, it just annoyed me that it wasn't working. That may say more about me than anything else.I'm not sure which app I have myself. I don't remember two options when I first downloaded it. When I first got it, I got a lot of alerts in the car about failing to connect, or parking spot location saved. Haven't seen those recently and opening my phone UVO app, I see it hasn't synched for a couple thousand miles. Mind you as a hybrid owner, I don't see a lot of utility to it. It can call roadside service I suppose, which saves me a tiny bit of effort in storing the number in my phone book.
Glad you got it fixed!
It was the opposite for my two Neros. I D/L the Green ECO App first and I could not connect to either Car using two different phones. I then uninstalled the Green App, D/L the Red e-services and I easily connected to both Neros so who knows what's going on. This is the same App I used to connect to my Optima.................Turns out your solution was really close. I tired re-installing the app, clearing cache and data, no luck.

Once I installed the eco app I was able to sync to the car and all of the remote functions seem to be working.

Are your Niros PHEV or regular hybrid? I think that's the difference. For my PHEV Niro the eco app did the trick. The regular UVO app seems to be appropriate for the non-PHEV models.It was the opposite for my two Neros.
