Needs updating

Desperately needs updating, would not connect but my wifi dongle works fine with other elm327 apps. Also needs fixes for dark mode the text does not show in the boxes so you have to type in the inputs blindly.

BROKEN APP. Do NOT buy!

I think this app is derelict, maybe last updated in 2014. No demo, so you can't see that it doesn't work until you buy the app... Doesn't work at all. Have an OBDLink MX+ adapter. It's compatible with iOS and is a high performance, high speed and thoroughly compatible adapter. This app doesn't detect or connect to it, yet I can slide right over to the free "Car Scanner" app and it snaps right up. It's also got some extremely crusty, landscape UI that hijacks the phone orientation and makes it hard to escape (relocating the "home" swipe gesture). And then I spent the next 20+ minutes fighting through layers of support to get a refund.

Definitely stay away from this abandoned app!

Caution- don’t waste your money!

This app seems to only connect to a limited number of OBD dongles!
Check the list before you waste your money on this app.
One star because I can’t submit with zero stars.

Wishing more EV tailored support

Would be nice to be able to swap out displays/meters that are ICE car specific for EV specific

Extremely substandard and poor

Bought this app from apple store, it launched and did not work as intended. Very much disappointing to find out that even it connects with the OBD gadget but shows no sign of life. Anyhow, I am going ask for refund.

Works as Expected, Flexible

I use the app for my Kia Soul EV 2016 with the LE Link adapter. Once I found the PIDs for my car online, it was easy to create a .csv file and load it into the app via iTunes (or the Finder for recent versions of MacOS). There is some basic documentation online for the format of the .csv files but any doubts about the correct format are quickly dispelled by looking at the sample files in the app. Customer support via email is great. Good choice of ways to display the values.

App crashes on iPhone and iPad running on 15.2.1

The app opens but once the phone connects to the LeLink BLE Dongle it shuts down automatically. It just runs for about 2 or three seconds. I use the BT Dongle in VW ID4

Cash

Не успел скачать уже заплатил лол, ещё и в долг 😂

Custom interface panels are clunky at best

Ok. It works with LeLink and it works with custom PIDs. I wish for a way to delete the default screens I don’t use (I have an EV) and more screens with smaller blocks for more data on the screen. I’ve heard there’s a new app on the block for iOS that does what this does.

Excellent App for home use

I have diagnosed and repaired several vehicles over the years I have had this application. On my Dodge Charger it even specified which wheel speed sensor was bad, right rear. No guessing just replace the part and roll on.

Did not work

Connected to LELink OBD-II easily but always reported that it was “Busy” when I tried to pull codes.

Clunky but works

Not the snazziest interface, but it’s the only iOS app I’ve found that properly handles custom pid files, a la Torque Pro. Invaluable for pulling diagnostics on my Chevy Bolt.

Not compatible with OBDLink MX+

This should’ve been obvious to me front he description, but this app doesn’t appear to work with the OBDLink MX+ Bluetooth adapter. I think that’s because the MX+ uses full-speed Bluetooth, not BLE.

Excellent Product Support

The technicians at K Solutions provided unheard of factory support toward helping me create a workable PID for their EngineLink - OBD2 app on my iPhone. After trying several apps and OBD 2 sensors, the EngineLink app provides the trans fluid temp data I was hoping I would be able to obtain for my 2019 Honda Pilot. I give this app a 5-Star rating.

Works great.

Works great since updating. Could use a few more PID’s. But otherwise works great since updating.

Great app but needs work

Great app but needs a bit of work to get the right units. I use metric system But even though the software says that it’s metric, it still displays coolant temp and gearbox temps in imperial.

Almost a decade of use

I’ve been using EngineLink since it was first released. I’ve used it on 20+ vehicles... from Lexus, Acura, Toyota, Honda, Pontiac, Ford... etc. And I’ve used it with every iPhone starting with the iPhone 3 and now the 11 Plus Pro. It’s never failed me except for a couple weeks when the iPhone 6 was first released.

I use it on vehicles that are generally 5-15 years old with high miles. Will it read everything? No. It didn’t help me with a wheel speed sensor on a 4Runner. And I’m sure there are other sensors it won’t read.

*But... what it is great at is building customized dashboards to read and record several sensors at once in order to diagnose and monitor engine performance. I have 4 custom dashboards each with 7-10 dials of instrumentation. I screen record then watch it later to get the info I need. And also to see the difference after I install a new go fast part or just something as simple as a new air filter or even the difference in engine load with a roof mounted bike rack vs. no rack.

Want to see the vehicles MAF/MAP/AMF intake volume and pressure, engine RPM, atmosphere Barometric pressure, atmosphere ambient air temperature , 02 sensor voltage, fuel pressure, engine load, and engine torque all at the same time?
This app does it... and many many many more combinations of what ever you want to monitor.

Want to know if your catalytic converters are clogged or if it’s just a bad O2 sensor?
This app will give you the info you need to diagnose and determine the answer. And possibly save you $1000-$2000 on the catalytic converters Mr. Mechanic says you need.

Amongst other things ... I’ve personally and easily diagnosed (and saved myself a ton of cash) bad O2 sensors, good (not bad) catalytic converters, fuel pumps, dirty MAP/MAF/AMF, loose intake hoses to a turbo and tightened a bolt instead of buying a new turbo, dirty EGR valves, bad coil packs, bad or loose plug wires, bad plugs, bad evap canisters.... etc etc etc.

If it’s connected to your engine this will tell you what you need to know.

The best part about this app is the elm Obd2
port WiFi units are cheeeeaaaaap.

And this app is cheap.

Do not believe the bad reviews about the app not working anymore because it’s simply not true. I bet their Elm WiFi unit was the problem. They probably dumped a soda on it or something else that ruined it.

Anyway... I want to give a huge thanks to the creators of this oldie but goodie app.

I used it today to monitor everything on my Lexus after a few new goodies were installed this weekend.

Worked like a charm !
