Don’t give 5 often . This does what it should. Great app

Wish it had android cuz more functionality exists. But this puppy has been helping me learn my ford so much and fix it still living up to its name soon . P0304 replaced plug and spark. Hoping not head gasket but seems so. But I can check the cat and misfires and know how much time I have left. Would buy you coffee . You rock !!!!

Can’t calibrate

Bought this specifically to calibrate the steering wheel torque sensor on a 2009 ford escape. Wouldn’t work, returned the sensor and tried it that way, new sensor also didn’t work. Ended up using a different program and that did succeed at programming it. So turned out the problem was FORScan not working properly instead of a faulty sensor.

Only shows 6 cylinders

Bought to hook up to my powerstroke and can only select up to 6 cylinders. No 7 or 8 to select so doesn’t help me on misfires or diagnosing injectors.

Absolutely useless

Waste of $7. It cannot do anything my Autel scanner can't, which cost me several thousand dollars. I wish I could get my money back. Atrocity of an application.

Ford ranger, BMS reset after battery change fails at every attempt

Bug

Mode 6 function missing

Bug

Mode6 is not working. It starts to run then the app crashes

Bug

Transmission learning table reset, learning pause, resume, and module reset worked great on Navigator with OBDLink MX+ OBD2 Bluetooth. Connectivity was easy but if you encounter any issues you should kill the app using the swipe from bottom iPhone app feature

Bug

Since update it will not work with iPhone 11 … idk what the issue is but never had a problem until now

Bug

I purchased the OBDLink adaptor so I could use this software to bleed my brakes. The example screens show this option. The option does not show up on the service screens. If you don't support this I would like a refund. That is the only reason I bought the adapter and software.
