### 2/5 — Not a lot of options

*2026-02-20*

There needs to be more vehicle options as none of the vehicles I own are in the app

### 2/5 — Так себе

*2026-02-02*

Нет нивы Шевроле, на газель черно белая схема, в общем на любителя

### 3/5 — Русифицируйте

*2026-01-30*

Пожалуйста ,сделайте Русский ,язык будет немного проще )

### 2/5 — Отсутствуют многие модели

*2026-01-30*

Нет схем на маркообразов кроме 110 кузова

### 2/5 — No están todas las marcas

*2025-07-28, version 1.5.0*

Falta Hyundai elantra i35

### 2/5 — Zu viel Werbung

*2025-04-01*

Ist einfach zu viel Werbung. Nach dem man ein Schaltplan geöffnet hat kommt nach dem schließen eine Video-Werbung, manchmal ist das x zum schließen der werbung so weit in der ecke, das man das nicht mal wegdrücken kann (bei einer bestimmt 5 min werbung). Auch wenn man ein falschen schaltplan öffnet, kommt trotzdem eine werbung, was schlecht ist, wenn man nicht direkt weiß was man will. Direkt deinstalliert. Man muss sagen, die app hat wenigstens fast alle Schaltpläne.

### 3/5 — На русский перевести

*2025-02-28*

Русские авто на русском, иномарки на английском- логично, но не удобно.

### 5/5 — Тема

*2025-02-22*

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Русский язык

*2026-04-19*

Когда появится на русском перевод!?

### 1/5 — Malicious adverts

*2025-12-01*

When attempting to open a diagram, it sometimes worked sometimes did not.  But then it would present a full screen advert.  The advert would have multiple [X] buttons but the real button would not appear until a timer completed which appeared over one of the fake [X] buttons.  The page itself opened a fake TEMU site.  Uninstalled this app immediately and cleared my browser cache.  Another malvertising swamped software, no thanks.

### 1/5 — Short

*2025-11-24*

I’m looking for Toyota 1987 truck the diagrams only go to the year 2000 so what am I paying for?

### 1/5 — Unusable

*2025-11-19*

You get hit with an ad every time you back out of a wiring diagram. Highly do not recommend.

### 1/5 — Mehr Werbung als Inhalt

*2025-06-15*

Werbung ist grundsätzlich okay bei kostenlosen Apps…aber wenn man nur einzelne Seiten anschauen kann, ohne Inhaltsverzeichnis, und bei jeder Seite mit einer Minute Werbung beglückt wird, ist es nur noch nervig.

### 1/5 — Left Hand Drive Only

*2025-01-12, version 1.5.0*

Do not purchase if you have a right hand drive vehicle, the wiring diagram’s are missing! Disappointing for someone from the UK.

### 1/5 — Not in English

*2024-04-10, version 1.4.2*

Why is it not possible to change the language to English? My download is in Russian or some such. Pretty useless

### 1/5 — Trash

*2024-03-12*

To much ads

### 1/5 — Не работает на ios

*2023-06-03*

Купил подписку на месяц, а программа даже не открывается. До этого прога открывалась, но при выборе марки останавливалась на загрузке и ничего не открывала. Ставлю единицу.

### 1/5 — Garbage doesn’t come close to describing this

*2023-04-21, version 1.3.1*

Half the diagrams only show code and the other half are in coded in Russian. Nothing can be found easily. Deleting. Don’t wast your time.
