Garbage - Waste of Money
I purchased a subscription to do a very specific task on my Alfa Romeo and guess what? This is not the real Alfa OBD software (that’s only available on PC and Android).
On top of this, it didn’t work and never connected to my cars ECU. It was a complete waste of my money and time.

Stay away, you have been warned!
I made the mistake that this app is the same as the AlfaOBD app. Found out AlfaOBD doesn’t work on iPhones. I also found out that Alfa OBD2 doesn’t connect to a OBDLinkMX+ Bluetooth adapter used in a 2017 Ram Promaster 3500. So basically I’m glad I only signed up for the one month subscription and only lost $15 to this developer’s deceptive practices!

How AlfaOBD Saved Me Thousands on My Cummins
When my Ram 2500 6.7L Cummins started having turbo-related issues, I was headed straight toward what looked like a massive repair bill. The dealership solution was simple: replace major components. The cost? Thousands.
Instead, I used AlfaOBD and it completely changed the outcome.
The Problem
Modern Cummins trucks use a VGT (Variable Geometry Turbo) system that relies on an electronic actuator. When something goes wrong, even something minor like a loss of calibration, the truck can throw codes, lose performance, or go into limp mode.
Most shops treat this as a hardware failure.
But often, the issue is not that the actuator is broken, it just needs to be relearned.
The problem is:
Most basic scanners cannot perform this function.
What AlfaOBD Did
Using AlfaOBD, I was able to run:
• A full bi-directional test
• A proper turbo actuator relearn procedure
This is something typically locked behind dealer-level diagnostic tools.
Instead of replacing:
• the actuator
• or worse, the turbo
AlfaOBD allowed me to recalibrate the existing system.
The Result
After running the relearn:
• The actuator synced correctly
• Turbo function returned to normal
• Error conditions cleared
No parts replaced.
No dealership visit.
No four-figure repair bill.
Why This Matters
Modern diesel trucks are software-driven as much as they are mechanical. When calibration is lost, the system often just needs to be reset, not rebuilt.
AlfaOBD gives owners access to:
• Advanced diagnostics
• Module control
• Calibration procedures
That would otherwise require expensive dealer intervention.
Bottom Line
AlfaOBD didn’t just scan a code.
It gave me the ability to:
Diagnose, test, and fix the actual problem.
Running a simple actuator relearn through bi-directional control saved me thousands of dollars and prevented unnecessary parts replacement.
For anyone owning a modern Ram diesel, this tool isn’t just helpful, it’s financially protective.

Definitely a scam
Don’t waste your time or money with this garbage app. Is definitely a scam named like the real AlfaOBD to lure people to download it. Once you try to use it they blast you with the subscription. After you get annoyed from the subscription pop up and concede to the subscription the app begins to crash every time you try to do anything on it. Picking up a cheap calculator from the dollar store will give you identical vehicle diagnostic capabilities to this app with the added bonus that will be cheaper and you can use it to calculate how much money you waste on app scammers a year because apple doesn’t do very good blocking these individuals from their platform. It’s all about their profit.
