Getting Started with KOVA for Android
The KOVA Android app is your primary mobile companion, giving you real-time notifications when someone scans your vehicle's tag, quick controls to manage your vehicles, and integrated customer support.
While the KOVA Web Dashboard offers an expansive view for desktop management, the Android app is engineered for speed, convenience, and on-the-go awareness.
Installing & Signing In
Download: Search for KOVA on the Google Play Store and install the app.
Sign In: Open the app and enter the mobile phone number associated with your KOVA account.
Verify via OTP: Enter the 6-digit one-time password sent via SMS.
(No separate password or username is required; your verified mobile number is your primary credential).
Key App Features
1. Unified Dashboard Navigation
The Android app mirrors your web dashboard with bottom tabs optimized for one-handed operation:
Activity: Real-time log of every interaction at your vehicle (guest scans, assistant messages, and call requests).
Vehicles: Overview of all vehicles registered to your account, including active tag statuses and vehicle profiles.
Subscription: Current plan validity, active tag count, and relay credit allowances.
Profile & Settings: Contact preferences, default vehicle selection, and notification toggles.
2. Seamless Deep-Link Handling
Whenever you tap a KOVA link in an email, text message, or browser (such as app.kova.buzz/dashboard), the Android app automatically intercepts the URL and opens the exact matching screen:
Activity links open the Activity tab.
Vehicle links open the Vehicles tab.
Subscription alerts open the Subscription tab.
(Note: Guest links and public tag scans still open directly in your mobile browser to preserve the visitor scanner experience).
Android-Specific Settings
Setting Your Default Vehicle
If you have multiple vehicles on your KOVA account (up to 5 vehicles per plan), one vehicle serves as your Default Vehicle. This vehicle is displayed on your main mobile card and automatically syncs to your Wear OS watch app:
Tap Settings (or Profile).
Tap Default vehicle.
Select your preferred vehicle (e.g., Hyundai i10 · 1 of 3 vehicles).
Returning to the Vehicles tab will immediately focus on your new default car.
In-App Support Chat
Need help or have a question about your subscription?
Go to Settings → Help & support.
The chat connects directly to the KOVA support team (and KOVA Fin AI), pre-authenticated with your account details.
Responses arrive as push notifications so you don't need to keep the app open waiting for an answer.
Tapping Help with my subscription on the Subscription tab automatically opens the chat with your subscription details pre-filled.
Managing or Deleting Your Account
KOVA believes in complete data transparency:
Navigate to Profile → Account → Delete account.
You can request complete deletion of your account, vehicles, and activity history.
Requests are processed within 30 days, giving our support team time to contact you regarding any active subscriptions or physical tags. You can cancel the request at any time during this window directly from the app.
