User reviews

Disappointed

The only gauge I get is coolant temperature. This app was recommended because it supposedly will display transmission temperature which is what I needed. All is get is coolant temp so there’s obviously something wrong with the app. Pretty useless. I subscribed, thankfully there’s a 1 month free trial so I won’t lose any money. Definitely unsubscribing and deleting the app.

Only one gauge option, will not display anything besides battery

Refer to title

Keeps disconnecting ELM327 WiFi

Connection is not stable. More like a cache/variable byte size issue.

Perfect!

App works great for monitoring all of what I can’t see on my 2020 Subaru Forester Sport!

CVT Fluid Temp

This app is good for reading your CVT temp in your Subaru and a few other gauges, but it is not as in depth as the android version which includes more. It would be nice to see the same gauges that the android version has, specifically the CVTF Condition % gauge. That being said solid.
