### 5/5 — Excellent device

*2024-12-24, version 1.2.8*

Excellent Bluetooth device.

### 4/5 — Tony

*2024-03-24, version 1.2.8*

This app, and OBD II scanner works great. One just needs to understand how it works. I’m giving it 4 stars and not 5 because you have to pay for an upgraded version to read some ABS, BCM codes.

### 1/5 — Needs to be updated

*2022-09-13, version 1.2.8*

Isn’t capable with IOS 16. Stopped working after the update. It has always had issues with each update. It’s garbage now.

### 1/5 — No connecting. Most horrible software in the world

*2022-03-15, version 1.2.8*

Doesn't connect with the app. Takes 10-30 minutes to get it to connect via bluetooth. Tried on 3 cars, Subaru, Toyota. Most horrible app to ever exist. Never works. Takes hours to possibly work. Bosch should be sued for such crap

### 1/5 — Horrible diagnostic aid

*2021-09-30, version 1.2.8*

Won’t allow vehicle communication while in motion. Completely useless

### 1/5 — They killed this app and don’t care

*2021-07-21, version 1.2.8*

Garbage since they took the live data during driving. There should be a class action lawsuit.

### 1/5 — Garbage

*2021-06-03, version 1.2.8*

It used to work decent now it’s worthless

### 1/5 — Absolutely Worthless

*2021-04-27, version 1.2.8*

Both the scanner which cost $70 and the app are worthless. Never worked out of the box. App says has to update device and then app just spins and spins and never updates despite connecting to device. Not phone issue as did same with new Samsung and an iPhone 12. Feel like I was robbed.

### 1/5 — Garbage

*2021-03-25, version 1.2.8*

Good thing I only borrowed it. Will not connect to 2015 VW. It only connects to my phones Bluetooth but won’t go any further.

### 1/5 — Junk, don’t buy or return to store!

*2021-01-03, version 1.2.8*

Got to tell you: this thing is junk! If you bought the Bosch OBDI dongle then you should return it. I spent over $50 for this device. It worked for about 3 months and then it said an update must be installed on the dongle. I installed it and it bricked. The device would not connect by Bluetooth to my iPhone and the app rendering the app and the device useless! Waste of money! So upset about this! I work hard for a living and I have to put up with this kind of stuff.
