### 2/5 — Doesn’t Work on my iPhone X

*2017-12-02, version 2.0*

Worked ok with the 6s, but can’t connect with the X. 
Getting error message “Initialization failed “
Anyone has a solution?

### 4/5 — Prius

*2015-08-16, version 1.3.1*

Great

### 1/5 — Needs major update, crashes every time

*2015-05-01, version 1.3.1*

This app crashes all the time. It needs a major stability update.

This app hasn't been updated in over a year. It needs to be updated to be more compatible with iOS 8, and the Bluetooth device needs a firmware update as well.

### 3/5 — Ok

*2015-04-20, version 1.3.1*

Works ok

### 3/5 — Doesn't do much

*2015-01-09, version 1.3.1*

Reads some codes and looks up TSBs.  Works fine, but limited

### 4/5 — Go point

*2014-12-31, version 1.3.1*

Easy to use.  Good and quick with info.

### 1/5 — Crash master

*2014-12-12, version 1.3.1*

This app crashes upon setup of car info consistently. Never could use app as could never get past setup. 
The BT1 hardware works flawlessly with my ap I use on track called "track Addict".  However the gopoint Ap, although promising, is unusable. I've been hoping an update that works would be available but no luck so far. Have been waiting 3 months hoping. Keeping my fingers crossed hoping someone at GoPoint will try using the Ap they wrote and realize it's useless.

### 1/5 — Does not work

*2014-11-05, version 1.3*

The BT 1 does not work with my Chev or the Dodge.

### 1/5 — Worth the price

*2014-10-18, version 1.3*

Mom said if you can't say anything nice don't say anything. I just wish there were some other product that would work with my ODB gizmo.

### 1/5 — Still cannot add a vehicle on ios8

*2014-10-17, version 1.3*

The year selector is now working but not make or model. Just show a blank box. Is there any testing before releasing these apps?

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2014-09-29, version 1.2.1*

Paired with my vehicle. Check engine light is on and this app has the nerve to not only tell me there are no trouble codes but says "breathe easy, there's nothing wrong" with a smiley face. I can't even edit the vehicle information in the app. It's glitchy and freezes up often. Makes no sense to me... There are much better OBD-2 apps out there. I'm running iOS 8 so maybe an update is needed?

### 1/5 — Not OS 8 compatible?

*2014-09-21, version 1.2.1*

Can't get passed the screen for entering car data.  The app locks up.  Could it be the app is not compatible with the iPhone 5s with the new OS 8?  Very disappointing.

### 4/5 — It worked for me.

*2014-08-28, version 1.2.1*

Other reviewers have mentioned that it has a tendency to crash. I found that to be true too. It told me not only the error code but a description. From what I have learned the error code meaning can change slightly from manufacturer to manufacturer. A description is really important. This app also tells you the severity. I did have to do some research to find out what the error code really meant. I was able to cheaply fix the problem and reset the check engine light.

### 4/5 — Not bad

*2014-08-06, version 1.2.1*

I personally prefer dash command, but this isn't half bad

### 4/5 — So

*2014-06-05, version 1.2.1*

I had to in order to continue

### 1/5 — Waste of money

*2014-05-22, version 1.2.1*

Every time I hook the BT1 my I phone cannot connect to it. There's no number to call when you need help right away. There's not enough time to wait for a response to an e-mail. ????? I wasted over 100$ on a useless device.  When I first got it it worked, till my check engine light came on a year later. Works great if there's no check engine or service engine light on. I wish there was a number I can call, but they got my money over a year ago. I guess I'll just drive it to the GM dealer and let a real scanner work and get charged a less amount than I paid for this device. :( how about a warranty on this product????????ok I guess I can't submit this till I give you one star so here it goes.

### 1/5 — GARBAGE!!!!!!!

*2014-05-08, version 1.2.1*

This app is total garbage and do NOT recommend it to anyone!!!!!!!

### 3/5 — So far so good

*2014-04-11, version 1.2.1*

Used this a couple of times already. So far so good. Crashed only once.

### 1/5 — When is the update???

*2023-08-03, version 2.0*

App crashed when I tried scanning vehicle

### 1/5 — 30 second limit

*2023-07-04, version 2.0*

Works for about 30 seconds on my iPhone 14 pro, then crashes.  Already bought a replacement and it isn't Gopoint.

### 1/5 — Fail

*2023-01-24, version 2.0*

This app and device was working great in the pass but does not working anymore.

### 1/5 — Garbage app, garbage hardware and garbage company

*2022-02-26, version 2.0*

Garbage app, garbage hardware and garbage company. Why this app is allowed on iTunes App Store is beyond me.

### 1/5 — Broken

*2019-02-28, version 2.0*

Doesn't let you select a make / model and you cant select this step

### 1/5 — Waste of money.

*2018-04-12, version 2.0*

Worst scan tool I’ve ever owned, the software is never updated for newer vehicles, has no live data stream, constantly running into glitches and apps closing involuntarily , I purchased the cable, the Bluetooth OBD2 BT1 and the software which now no longer works at all because it’s not compatible with the newer versions of IOS. Steer clear of this scan tool. Steer clear of GoPoint technology inc...

### 1/5 — Garbage

*2016-06-16, version 1.3.1*

The box the device comes in says "works with ipad, ipad2, iPhone3G...." but you cannot install the app onto a 1st generation iPad because you need ios7+. You can't put ios7 on a 1st generation ipad. There is no other option so this is just a major waste.

### 1/5 — Pulling my hair out!

*2015-08-02, version 1.3.1*

Hi, you have what could be the coolest tool ever... If your app worked!!!!  Instead I'm about to throw a $600 phone across my driveway.  Can't get past the create an account screen and the Bluetooth device has a real problem connecting to the phone. Please fix!

### 1/5 — Doesn't list fault codes

*2015-07-28, version 1.3.1*

My Ram 2500 has ABS and Brake lights on, but GoPoint shows only a dialog box with "Breathe easy, no trouble found".  It won't list codes, and/or only scanned for 3 code categories out of 8 possible.  Folks who say GoPoint is good must be scanning vehicles with no actual problems.  80 bucks down the drain for this useless piece of ...

### 1/5 — Can't detect fault codes

*2015-06-26, version 1.3.1*

I am getting Check Brake Light and the app states that there are no faults. Also have Airbag light on but app says no faults. 

Really buggy. Needs major update.

### 5/5 — Need update

*2022-12-05, version 2.0*

Seems to be crashing since IOS 16 update. Please push out an update 

Works perfectly as advertised until IOS 16

### 5/5 — Best I have used

*2014-02-05, version 1.2.1*

I have 3 different scan tools and this BT1 is hands down the most user friendly and effective one of the lot. It surprises me every time I use it and is so small I take it to parties for the inevitable "Could you look at my car and tell me why the check engine light is on"?
My response being, "Sure sweet heart that's no problem..."

### 5/5 — Great product, great support

*2013-11-28, version 1.2.1*

really cool features, quick response when I encountered a problem.

### 5/5 — I LOVE IT!!!

*2013-09-15, version 1.1.1*

Great app

### 5/5 — One Mans Opinion

*2013-06-10, version 1.1.1*

Just installed. Works great! Everything I expected.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2013-03-29, version 1.1.1*

Great app. Work great

### 5/5 — Great App

*2013-02-23, version 1.1*

Worked great

### 5/5 — Bt1

*2013-02-18, version 1.1*

Simply awesome!

### 5/5 — Shop owner

*2013-01-28, version 1.1*

Don't know why the bad reviews other than that the people didn't READ the instructions FIRST. As with any other computer based tool, READ THE INSTRUCTIONS FIRST then dig in and enjoy being able to diagnose almost any car with nothing more than what you have in your pocket, take the car for a test drive and monitor stats.. Great item!

### 5/5 — Great!!!!

*2013-01-23, version 1.1*

I love it! I'm a tech by trade and needed something quick and simple. I got the carMD and returned it the next day, because it could not do half of what this could do. I show all my tech friends, and they are in shock that my iPhone can do what there scanner can do.   Keep up the good work!
