### 1/5 — Really?

*2025-04-13, version 1.3.4*

Makes you select a subscription then never works.

### 1/5 — Nul

*2025-04-06*

Pour ce prix une version française serait bien. Bref très peu d’importance pour la langue…. Cette appli ne fonctionne pas. J’ai des défauts à mon tableau de bord et elle ne les trouve pas. J’ai demander un remboursement.

**Developer response:** Nous nous excusons pour les désagréments rencontrés avec l'application. N'hésitez pas à contacter notre support client pour obtenir de l'aide.

### 1/5 — Keine Funktion

*2025-04-03*

Nach Kauf der liftime Version und Auswählen des Fahrzeugs (Baujahr, Hersteller, Modell) passiert gar nichts. Der einzige vorhandene Button „connect“ führt zum Status „initializing“ (nachdem der OBD Adapter per Bluetooth verbunden wurde). Daraufhin ändert sich gar nichts mehr, scheinbar muss die App stundenlang initialisieren ohne Ergebnis.

Keine Empfehlung

**Developer response:** Es tut uns leid, dass Sie Probleme mit der App haben. Wir verstehen, wie frustrierend das sein muss. Unser Entwicklungsteam arbeitet kontinuierlich an Verbesserungen, und wir haben Ihre Rückmeldung bereits weitergeleitet, um die Ursache des Problems zu untersuchen.

### 1/5 — Does not work

*2025-03-22, version 1.3.4*

Similar to other reviews, the app freezes on the connect page. Apparently it does not work with WiFi ODB2 sensor. Just wasted money on a bad product.

### 1/5 — Ne fonctionne pas avec les véhicules électriques

*2025-02-12*

L’application me semblait bien faite mais je ne pouvais pas l’essayer avant de faire mon achat. Une fois l’achat fait seul quelques données non pertinente peuvent apparaître sur l’app. Malheureusement impossible de me faire rembourser..

Мошенничество. На экране никаких функций

### 1/5 — Keine Funktion

*2024-12-15*

Man kann das Fahrzeug auswählen und bezahlen hat auch problemlos funktioniert. Nach der Bezahlung reagiert die App nicht mehr. Der quasi einzige Knopf „Connect“ bewirkt nichts obwohl Bluetooth an ist und mit dem Scanner verbunden ist.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2024-11-10*

I bought this to read codes from my Jeep Cherokee XJ via a Bluetooth adaptor. The adaptor I have is even the same one pictured on the app Home Screen. Unfortunately when I connect it says OBDII not supported so pretty useless.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t diagnose

*2026-04-23*

I had to manually set up my vehicle. After that I chose to connect to BT scanner. Took 5 minutes of initializing to say “Gone.” No other options or prompts from there. Just Gone. Wish I could get my money back.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work ******

*2026-01-09, version 1.3.4*

### 1/5 — Can't even test

*2025-08-28*

This is one of those really annoying apps. You can’t even try anything in this app unless you pay the premium! How can you test anything? How can you know if your OBD2 device works with the software if you can’t even get into it and connect to it without paying! Unable to test, therefore bypassing. There are other OBT apps out there that let you test l before you buy.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback — we understand your concerns. While we currently don’t offer a free trial, we’re actively exploring ways to improve the experience for new users, including more transparent previews of the app’s features. Your input is important to us, and we’ll keep it in mind as we continue developing the app.

### 1/5 — PAY BEFORE YOU TRY

*2025-06-27*

Not even one demo try. You have to pay before you can use it at all. And please don’t apologize for the inconvenience. This type of design is ridiculously stupid and greedy. 
If you were proud of your app and knew it would sell itself, you could at least let somebody try before they buy two or three times. 
This is all just a big red flag. No thank you.

### 5/5 — Great app for car owners!

*2023-12-05*

I really enjoy this app. It helps me to understand how is my BMW X5 2013 doing. DTC and PID are great features the app has. Sensor Data pretty handy for drivers with not new car models. I would recommend the app for everyone who wants to know what is going on with their car before going to mechanics and pay big buck to them.

### 5/5 — Sehr gute App

*2023-10-23*

Die App sieht sehr gut gestaltet aus (Design/ Nutzeroberfläche). Man kann sein Fahrzeug sehr einfach auswählen, wenn es in der Liste vorhanden ist. Die Preise sind nicht zu hoch, wenn die entsprechenden Fehlercodes auch angezeigt werden, nachdem man das Abo abgeschlossen hat. Es könnte ein Gamechanger für alle Autoenthusiasten werden.
