Super useful

It’s free and works great! This and a $3 ELM327 ODB2 Bluetooth scanner off eBay is everything you need.

Awesome

Love it

Terrible app

At first the app was great. Had a ton of sensors and worked good. Then some sensors disappeared. Then more did. So I paid for the lifetime purchase. Compete waste of money. 0 difference after paying.

Get me right !!!!

It helps you identify what’s going on if you know how to use the phone good but it needs to point to parts a lil better

Functionally

Fantastic when you have a quality Bluetooth 4.0 ELM dongle like say a $30 I0S-Vlink from Ali-express and you fully learn how to set this app up in is dash board mode. This App stands head and shoulders on it competition. I’ve been using these apps and Dongles since the Mid-2000s and this bang for buck is the best around

Pretty Amazing Tool

Been using it for years on my Android phone. Switched over to Apple and had to repurchase but well worth it. The improvements over the years have been fun to watch. I’m amazed at how much info about the various vehicles I’ve used it on is available. Happy customer for years. It doesn’t have all the functionality that a really expensive dedicated tool has, yet, but it’s way more than you would expect with the correct Bluetooth module. Great job to the programmer, keep up the good work!

For my ford focus mk4

Perfect for monitoring my dpf registration and status, very good to monitor my 8f35 automatic transmission temperature and lasting for reading fault code. Useful as can display live data on my CarPlay while driving.

Почему глючить приложение?

Глючит приложение, при прокручивание в меня кодирования, просто зависает и не реагирует экран, в некоторых пунктах внутреннего освещения не кодирует, код не правильно указан, старое приложение установленное на старом телефоне работает отлично.. это же испортили.. ну тк много времени прошло, можно же было исправить..

Cannot do simple battery registration

Wasted money

So so

I paid for this app mainly because it has the option to read the CVT/AT fluid temperature which I need for changing the fluid. When I initially set it up I picked CVT/AT temp to be displayed in the dashboard, the gauge showed up there but didn’t display any readings. I went to make sure it was selected properly and the option for CVT/AT was not even there anymore. I closed and opened app but still not there. Also the fuel calculation display that gives you the fuel used and cost of what’s been used worked great for about 3 trips and then stopped working. Still trying to figure out if there’s a setting that’s gone awry. Can’t seem to find any way to contact the developers either not even on their website.

So Efficient & Easy

Thanks for providing such a comprehensive application for amazing
value 🙏❤️

GREAT!

I absolutely love it, free when you first plug in, but also gives you an option to upgrade for more options and at a great price too! I use it for my 2020 Ford Mustang (Texas). Easy set up as well! Definitely 10/10. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Limited

Limited data view because you need to upgrade to Pro Version which was not stated at time of purchase.

App Support

Says “please don’t send me emails asking me to code your car”

I wasn’t going to. But I don’t see your email address anywhere on the website anyway, so how can I get in touch with you about something as simple as service reminder or speed limit or instrument panel coding. As in why I can’t turn off the speed limit warnings permanently or even just turn on the service reminder on my 2025 i30N.

Frustrating because I bought a $5500 2026 model Solus which can’t do it either and I have my car booked in at Hyundai but I know they won’t fix it.

I work at Audi across the street from there and it’s so frustrating living in a world where everyone has the “Dunning Krugers”.

It seems the only way to fix it is to get rid of it.
If

Also. Why is there no CarPlay anything like I want to use the app in my car but it becomes pretty useless when it doesn’t even show the gauges or the dashboard background edit work I wasted all those hours trying to figure out.

Хорошее приложение

Пользуюсь также Васей Диагностом оригинальным, и решил купить ELM, и данное приложение, купил подписку навсегда про версию, и очень понравилось, удобно что не нужно носить компьютер, очень много функций есть и все намного проще, советую всем)

Can’t connect to anything

Impossible to use this dongle. Unable to connect any of my cars.

Интересная программа

Рекомендую
