### 3/5 — App needs an update

*2020-01-16*

I like the idea of this OBD. It is great to wirelessly diagnose your vehicle and keep your maintenance records up to date. 

The app though, is not so great on the other hand, I cannot see the information I’m inputting as it all shows up blank. It sometimes does not keep track of my driving records as well. 

With a major update I feel this app is worthy of a 5 star review.

### 1/5 — Needs a lot of work.

*2019-01-29*

The app itself rarely, if ever works. It doesn’t tell you anything you need to know but it is a cool concept. Thank god for the rust protection the chip offers because other then that it is truly pointless.

### 1/5 — Needs much work

*2018-11-20*

I appreciate the rust protection of the CHIP itself but I can’t register an account because I need a code and there is nothing in the instruction booklet referencing this code. This makes the diagnostic part of the CHIP is useless. Hopefully updates are in the works.
