### 1/5 — Unauthorized charge

*2026-08-21, version 26.24*

Buyer beware

### 2/5 — Shady Subscription charges and unfriendly app interface in this regard

*2026-08-21, version 26.24*

I got charged $100 after ordering the tool for cheap, then didn’t even get all the things the order was supposed to come with, and when I downloaded the app, the interface is good for the scanning part but managing ANYTHING having to do with your account is near impossible to do. I had to flag the charge and now I have to order a new card because I can’t use mine anymore… very very shady way of the company handling account user interface.

### 1/5 — Shady app

*2026-08-19, version 26.23*

The device works, but they charged me for a subscription I did not approve. Then to actually cancel the subscription you have to go through multiple pages of bs. This is super shady business and I would never recommend them to anyone

### 1/5 — This is a scam

*2026-08-18, version 26.23*

I bought the fixd scanner online , I thought it was a cool gadget. But I never signed up to a subscription!!! I downloaded the app and was waiting to use it one day. Next thing you know , they charged me $100 with out me signing up. I guess they just took my Apple Pay info and signed me up automatically. That a scam if you ask me. With out my permission. !!!!

### 1/5 — FIXD ne inutile

*2026-08-18*

Je recommande pas cet appareil. On a même tenté de me facturer des frais pour des services que je n’ai pas demandé. Je n’ose même plus m’en servir.

### 1/5 — SCAMMERS

*2026-08-18, version 26.23*

They took my money after i cancelled my subscription, be careful guys ,
They are scammers

### 1/5 — unauthorized charge

*2026-08-16, version 26.22*

i don’t know why this app tried to change my card $109.74 without my consent as i didn’t even sign up for anything let alone a free trail, that was uncalled for and unacceptable, i haven’t even used their services, my only vice was ordering their scanner which i haven’t even opened, useless

### 5/5 — State of the heart scanner

*2026-08-14, version 26.21*

Really love this tool very easy to use software is extremely user-friendly very straightforward. Answers giving a lot of options as far as diagnostic definitely a must have for any Mechanic or car enthusiast

### 1/5 — They just won't stop trying to fraudulently charge me.

*2026-08-14, version 26.21*

Like many people I paid $20 for the scanner, then they tried charging me $99 - how many boxes were there to uncheck on the purchase page, did I miss one? My bank sent a fraud alert, I said I did not authorize the charge, they immediately cancelled my card & issued a new one a week later! That was a year ago. Well, today they just tried again to charge my new card number! I don't even know how they got it but yet again my bank cancelled my card. What a mess. The device works fine, it's just the trying to steal my money part I have a problem with. Beware

### 1/5 — Waste of effort

*2026-08-13, version 26.21*

I bought this and was disappointed with the results, but then I was notified by my bank that FIXD attempted to charge my cc $106.59 for the Premium subscription I had never seen or agreed to.   Further, there contact information is almost impossible to get through to anyone. 
My advice. Stay away.
