### 2/5 — AD410

*2025-06-30*

Will there ever be software for AD410, if so, how come it hasn’t already been added?

### 1/5 — Broken update

*2025-01-25*

The last update made my obd reader useless. Can’t read trouble codes now. Thank you for breaking a perfectly good app.

### 5/5 — Seems bugs are fixed.

*2023-05-17*

Fires up and works on my 2007 328i.

### 1/5 — Worthless !!

*2022-08-16*

App is stupid, how on earth do apps this non user friendly and non intuitive get invented ?

### 4/5 — So far so good…..

*2022-07-24, version 1.3.0*

Connected via Bluetooth with no issues. User interface is easy to decipher, ran the diagnostic specific for my VAG vehicles. Allows me to save a profile for each car. Codes linked easily to the web to help decipher them.

### 3/5 — Option to clear all cars from reports at

*2022-06-16*

Please put a option to the report page that can clear all the cars at once instead of doing it one by one.

### 1/5 — Bring back the older app design!

*2022-03-20, version 1.2.3*

The app was great and very user friendly. The recent update really killed the app for me. The performance pages and simpler unified ECU error codes under Trouble codes (now I have to select what ECU to check) being on the main screen was great. The UI instead of improving with the new update went the complete opposite direction. 

Please bring back the 1.8v again. The app was perfect as it was. The newer version is not what we need.

### 5/5 — Thank you for finally fixing

*2022-01-25*

Thanks

### 1/5 — Need to fix app

*2022-01-19*

Can’t even open the app just got it

### 1/5 — App Crashes

*2022-01-15*

App keeps crashing on start up. Uninstalled it and did a hard reset on the phone still nothing. Used to work good with previous version.
