"location /cms" should have "proxy_pass" to app2, "location /" should have
"proxy_pass" to app1. Almost exactly as you show. Except that you spell
"cms" "ui", for some reason.

Be specific.

What one request do you make that does not give the response that you
expect? What response do you get instead?

Other things: you must set the world up so that the browser actually
gets to your proxy server when requesting geotest.com. That's outside
of anything nginx can do.

You must set things up so that nginx actually gets to your app2 server
when...

...using the name app2.com. That needs a working resolver, or a configured
upstream block. Or just use the IP address directly here.

And you will *probably* want to make sure that everything on app2 knows
that it is effectively being served below /cms, as otherwise any links
to other resources on that server may not work as you want.

(And note that "location /cms" and "location /cms/" do different things,
and may not both be what you want.)
