Works really good BUT…

Like the title says it works great and is actually very fast even compared to the VCM3, my only complaint would be not allowing programming and would be nice if the PIDS had a better description when selecting them.

Never works correctly

I have the worst time ever getting into this application. Only works a fraction of the time and is not efficient even when it does work. Connection issues and slow loading even on wifi. Probably one of the most frustrating apps I have ever used. And if I did not have to use it, I absolutely would not.

Not the OBD app you’re looking for

Requires expensive subscription and proprietary reader.
See fordserviceinfo.con for account and support.

Reasons

The process is very slow and doesn’t load properly all the time when using the app and switching to wiring diagrams need something that allows users to actually read what we are clicking on when using workshop I feel like it’s something to do with the format but some improvements can be made for sure. It’s very hard to follow a pinpoint test or even get to them through pc/ed

Basic connectivity missing

Needs attention to detail. Can’t read codes from the PCM on a 2022 Bronco Sport. Errors in such basic functionality can’t be tolerated.

Nur mit Abo

So ein Unfug, die App funktioniert nur wenn man für mehrere hundert Euro ein Abo hat. Erfährt man dann erst nach der Installation

As a ford technician the diag now app really comes in handy however I wish the app wouldn’t crash every time to attempt to share a dtc document

Hello, Sorry to hear you are having login issues. If you are still stuck, the app description has more information on how to log in. Please check out the Ford Service Info contact page if you are an aftermarket user or raise a TIS request if you are a dealer technician. Thanks, Ford DiagNow Developers

Not ready for real world

You need to get your App, Security AND WEB developers in the same room NOT from home and test it from point to point. Create a new user account ALL the way through each step!!!!!
