### 1/5 — App Not Opening

*2026-07-14, version 1.15.15*

The app stopped working. It does not open at all. Stays stuck at the BU intro screen then crashes. Tried all troubleshooting steps but failed. Complete waste of money.

### 1/5 — Coercisve Fraudsters

*2026-04-23, version 1.15.04*

These developers don’t tell you that this app requires a specific $60 adapter and is not compatible with the adapters that are compatible with their other apps. 

Since they sell their license outside of the Apple App Store they will refuse to refund when you’re not able to get the app to work like they claim. 

They are clever enough to require PayPal to prevent the consumer from being able to reverse their $109 payment. 

Use caution.

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2026-04-04, version 1.15.04*

App crashes, doesn’t even code my brand new m3, and they refuse to refund. They told me to pound sand. Horrible company. Scammers.

### 1/5 — Complete Garbage

*2026-02-25, version 1.15.04*

Don’t waste your hard earned money or any of your precious time trying to make this app read your FA. And since it HAS to read the VA in order to connect and allow any coding/flashing, I can’t do anything with it at all. Even after purchasing BU ENET ADAPTER with Ethernet Cable. I’ve tried reaching out several times to these folks and I never get any response at all. So now I’m stuck with this dumpster fire. Just my two-cents.

### 1/5 — DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY

*2025-12-22*

Absolutely no Customer Service the app doesn’t work unless you have one specific connector which does not state in the app anywhere. Do not waste your money if you want something that works buy the BimmerCode app. Works great and the customer service is helpful and responsive and works with multiple obd scanners.  

HORRIBLE COMPANY TO DO BUSINESS WITH!!!

### 1/5 — App crashes when backing up

*2025-10-25, version 1.15.04*

App crashes when backing up

### 3/5 — A lot of features, more powerful than alternatives, but poor documentation

*2025-10-17, version 1.15.04*

The Pros: 
-You can change far more options than competing iOS tools. 
- VO editing!!
-Once you figure it out the back up, compare, and offline tools are very good. 

The Cons: 
- Desperately needs good documentation and tutorials.  I mean, there is basically nothing, which is a little unnerving when fiddling with the inner workings of your car
- Non-expert mode short cuts are fairly limited. Competing products are better. 
- Can’t create your own cheat codes on mobile 
-App slow to receive updates 
-No bit level editor

Bottomline, if you’re a novice, steer away from this or be very cautious at first. Back everything up!!!

If you’re an intermediate coder, this strikes a good balance but would be greatly enhanced with good documentation.

### 4/5 — Will Not Write Custom Values

*2025-09-19, version 1.15.04*

BimmerUtility is excellent software but for the iOS version, in Expert Mode, it has a limitation that significantly negates its usefulness. It will not save custom values. This problem applies to all ECUs. The values can be changed and even appear to be changed and initially saved, but the revised custom values are not saved. I  corresponded with BimmerUtility. They acknowledged this problem and indicated a revision to the iOS version would eventually be released fixing it but they refused to give any indication at all when this would happen. For my needs, this software is mostly useless until they fix a problem it is advertised to do and even appears to do. Refusing to provide any indication of their scheduled release with a fix makes me very skeptical it will happen at all. Very disappointed with an otherwise potentially excellent product that has, so far, provided only minimal usefulness to me.

### 5/5 — Prompt user support

*2025-02-28, version 1.15.03*

Fast and friendly user support. Useful tool!

### 1/5 — Rubbish software - Don’t buy this

*2025-02-16, version 1.15.03*

Read that this software was meant to be good on forums,  load of rubbish, no documentation and support is appalling. Raised a case via PayPal to get my money back as seller doesn’t want to refund. DO NOT WASTE $100 on this rubbish software, much better alternatives available with much better support and documentation.

Seller Rob Hebb has since blocked my licence code so unable to use the software, keeping my money in the process which is fraud.
