Junk

Dongles are garbage, software is garbage. Waste of money and time. The last update to the software version was 5 YRS AGO!

Can’t even connect

I’ve tried so many times… with different methods.. still can’t connect. Total garbage

New iOS 15

Any updates coming out?
$300 for a dongle that doesn’t work properly.

No longer Supported

This product is no longer supported by APR. A total waste of money and time. Avoid buying the dongle.

Warning, the apr dongle will not work if you bought it second hand.

Just to let anyone know who’s looking to buy an APR dongle be sure to get it brand new! A second hand one will not work for your car if it’s already been registered to another vehicle. Lesson learned for a newbie 😢. Hey APR maybe you should charge a small fee to unlock these for people that have been duped 🤣

Didn’t work

Just needs updating so it works again. Come on APR get it done.

Crashes and disconnects

I can’t seem to keep the dongle connected. If an app switches to foreground and I flip back to the APR app I can’t get it to reconnect to the car unless I turn off the car and unplug the dongle etc.. lots of trouble on the latest update with that.

Also viewing logs causes lots of crashes and I can’t seem to load some historical logs in demo mode without crashing constantly.

Mine doesn’t work

I have it on my new RS7 and for some reason can’t get it to sink with my phone. Heard something about the app needs updating but who knows ...

Not impressed

Keeps failing to work. Connects to dongle but won’t let me put code in just says this car does not have....

Great add on

I have had mobile for 2/3 years. Its awesome for clearing fault codes and for diagnostics. I’m able to run the car, data log and send outputs to my shop from anywhere.

Only issues I’ve had are related to have a few app updates that have impacted functionality. That said, the APR team has been super responsive and they have done a killer job with bug fixes and support.

App crashes

App doesn't work properly, crashes when reading the logs. Also, The interface could have been simplified in every aspect. Wouldn't recommend apr mobile instead of VCDS.
Therefore, it raises the big question whether the ECU software is coded in the same careless way as this poor app, and should I expect engine failure soon ?

New update last week causing crash

APR Mobile is crashing when selecting engine code. Already emailed APR about this issue with no updates.

Please APR get this fixed and I'll be happy to change rating again.

It has potential

Just bought the dongle for my APR tuned VW Golf R. Everything seems to work fine, except for reading fault codes... upon plugging in the dongle, I was alerted of “1 fault found”, but when I try to read the error, the app crashes. Any timeline on when this will be fixed?

Buggy App

I was really excited to get this app and dongle going but unfortunately there are bugs. Whenever I go to the fault codes section of the app, it crashes.

Not worth the money

3/31/18 - LATEST UPDATE crashes when trying to view fault codes 👎
___________________________
I bought into APRMobile early on. Read the teasers on golfmk6, and thought it was a really cool idea. Got the dongle and app for Christmas the first year it came out. And here it is 4 years later, and nothing has changed. Don’t get me wrong, I appreciate the maintenance updates and bug fixes. But, from a functional stand point, nothing has been added.

So, if you have a VCDS cable, and don’t care about switching programs manually, save the money.

App is crushing after latest update.

App is crushing when checking fault codes

Emcs

Updated to version 1.0.21 now emcs doesn't work

New update not working..

Just did the update yesterday and tired it this morning and still now working as it should... cants see or delete fault codes.

It crashed when I open it

After updated 1.0.21 version, it crashed every time. I can't open it. My iOS is 8.4. I hope I can still stay at iOS 8 because I don't wanna go iOS 11. Please help.

EMCS is working

EMCS ERROR is fixed. I had to uninstall app and unpair dongle then reinstall everything. Version 18 does work now.
