Not the real AlfaOBD. DO NOT PAY FOR SUBSCRIPTION. ### 1/5 — Zero stars *2025-03-11, version 1.6.20* What a waste of 4$! This app finds all but the OBDLINK MX+ that’s needed to turn on SWC’s. I’m never this harsh on a review but I couldn’t help myself on this review. Go to Starbucks and have a 4$ coffee. This guys probably making millions off people since a 4$ subscription is not refundable. It’s a scam like USAID. ### 1/5 — Useless *2025-02-06, version 1.6.20* This is terrible, does not work. I tried a three day trial. Now I can’t seem to find out how to cancel the subscription. ### 1/5 — Veepeak *2025-01-17, version 1.6.20* This Alfa obd app will not connect on iOS to a veepeak obd a waste of time! ### 1/5 — Does Not Work *2025-01-02, version 1.6.20* I tried a couple different adapters recommended by other users. It would not connect to any device. I tried 30-40 times just not working ### 1/5 — Garbage *2024-11-20, version 1.6.20* Download the free version app is 1000 times better than this garbage I paid for it . ### 1/5 — Not related to AlfaOBD *2024-11-13, version 1.6.20* Not related to AlfaOBD ### 1/5 — It doesn’t work with BlueDriver Bluetooth *2024-09-24, version 1.6.20* Water my time getting a subscription just to see that is not compatible ### 1/5 — Poorly Designed UI does NOT WORK WITH OBD LINK MX+ on iPhone *2024-09-03, version 1.6.20* Pros: I was able to cancel the free trial. Cons User interface is dumb, poorly designed. Will not connect on iPhone. Scan device is also not compatible. Could never get it to connect so I couldn’t use it. Maybe I’ll try the android version because the iOS oneCertainly does not work. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Would like a refund!!! *2026-07-26, version 1.6.20* Does not work, downloaded, paid and tried. Does not work and would like to be refunded! ### 1/5 — Alfa OBD paring *2026-07-20, version 1.6.20* This app will not pair with my Vlinkner MS. ### 1/5 — Scam on top of scam *2026-07-16, version 1.6.20* Was offered a 3 day trial. App couldn’t see my OBDLink MX+. Cancelled the trial within an hour. Was charged $5.36 after 3 days and had to open a refund request with Apple. It’s not a trial if you are committing to pay after you TRY it and cancel. Also, this is a knockoff app. The real AlfaOBD app you’re looking for isn’t in the Apple App Store, only Android and Windows. Look at their website. Not sure how this is even allowed on the App Store. ### 1/5 — App dosent work *2026-04-29, version 1.6.20* App dosent connect to mx+ DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ### 1/5 — Third party app - Does not work *2026-04-27, version 1.6.20* This is not the official app. Hard to sync, and limited features. The Alfa OBD has only for android or windows. ### 1/5 — Can’t find OBD port *2026-03-24, version 1.6.20* This app is garbage. ### 1/5 — Fake App *2026-03-19, version 1.6.20* This is not the real alfaobd. What a scam. Don’t download. Does not connect with OBDLink MX ### 1/5 — Не подключается к elm327 *2025-08-16* Не ищет ЕЛМ ### 1/5 — Does not connect to OBDLink *2025-08-09, version 1.6.20* This is not the Alfa OBD program you think. Check out the AlfaOBD website SAYS RIGHT THERE THEY DO NOT HAVE AN iOS APP. GOOD LUCK. ### 1/5 — Waste *2025-06-23, version 1.6.20* Needed it to connect to OBD link mx+ doesn’t even identify it. Paid for subscription and everything 🤦🏾‍♂️ Update: after research this isn’t alfaobd at all it’s a scam alpha obd is $49 for the full version which is only on the “ANDROID” store it’s not on Apple at all ## Most praised reviews (2 highest-rated) ### 2/5 — Konnwei ( ELM327) *2025-02-21, version 1.6.20* Don’t worked with Konnwei ELM327 TESTER OBD2 KW905 Bluetooth 5.0 ### 2/5 — Doesn’t work with my scanner *2024-12-01, version 1.6.20* I use vgate icar pro scanner and app doesn’t connect with it. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
