Could not figure out why. - 🐛 Missing PId - 🐛 Not working with IOS - 🐛 Didn't work - 🐛 Didn't connect properly **Commonly reported bugs** - Ford ranger, BMS reset after battery change fails at every attempt - Mode 6 function missing - Mode6 is not working. It starts to run then the app crashes - 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 - Since update it will not work with iPhone 11 … idk what the issue is but never had a problem until now - 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. **Most requested features** - Update the app so we can make programming changes - How to start DPF regeneration on Ford Mondeo while driving on highway? - Please make temp gauges available in Fahrenheit!! - Make a cleaner UI and add service options to change car settings like in the main pc app ## Newest reviews (14 of 195) ### 2/5 — Only shows 6 cylinders *2026-06-07, version 1.5.31* 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. ### 4/5 — Works well but missing 2007 F150 Lariat *2026-03-08* Works well in general, but it doesn’t recognize my F150, so I have to drag out the laptop version instead. ### 1/5 — Useless *2026-02-26* It is absolutely useless. It will not connect to my iPhone17 it will connect your Bluetooth. It won’t connect via the $35 I bought. I even bought an adaptor… waste some money why not thanks forscan ### 4/5 — It’s awesome *2026-02-21, version 1.5.30* Good app. Needs to be updated to 2026. Interface is so old school. Just saying…. ### 1/5 — Перестал определяться ЭБУ *2026-02-16* С последним обновлением перестал видеть ЭБУ, думает что он тюнингованый и просит ввести серийный номер. Автомобиль Ford focus 2 ### 1/5 — Три разных адаптера подключить не удалось *2026-02-15* ОБД 2 3 разных адаптера пробовал по-разному подключать больше часа мучался не видит зря выкинутые деньги ### 1/5 — Scam *2026-02-13, version 1.5.29* This app should be called ForScam ### 1/5 — Not working on iOS 26 *2026-02-11* It doesn’t even seem to attempt connecting Bluetooth. ### 4/5 — Excellent *2026-02-01, version 1.5.29* I have used this app for a few years now and it has been invaluable in helping to keep my old MK3 Mondeo chugging along. Just recently had a half stall which must have upset the cars brain. Next morning wouldn’t start. Injector knock limit reached fault code which FORScan Lite picked up but I could not figure out how to recode the injector via the iOS app. Is this possible? I did manage from the windows version of FORScan and this was very simple to do. Recoding with original code cleared the fault. No more winking glow plug indicator and ECU light. So maybe just a brown out. It would me great if more service functions could be done via the iOS app so I can have the assurance that I can sort it if I’m away from home in a dead car situation. Is this something the iOS app can do? I understand the need for limitation but lugging a charged laptop about isn’t a viable option. Otherwise I’m delighted with FORScan. ### 2/5 — Не работает *2026-01-26* Как вернуть деньги? Хороший адаптер не подключается ### 1/5 — Awful, doesn’t connect *2026-01-23, version 1.5.29* Got it to connect to my ford transit 2020 once, and even when it did it would not load the live data at all. I’m using the OBDLink MX+ and nothing. Garbage app and UI ### 1/5 — No connect *2026-01-22, version 1.5.29* I have Forscan and it connects and pulls codes. This version won’t even connect. I want live data. Now I read this app has issues. 👎👎 ### 1/5 — Not working *2025-12-13* I bought a cable made for forscan cable, but i can not connect to the phone, the app can't establish a connection ### 1/5 — Not working *2025-12-07, version 1.5.29* Since update it will not work with iPhone 11 … idk what the issue is but never had a problem until now ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Absolutely useless *2026-05-17, version 1.5.31* 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. ### 1/5 — Horrível não conecta *2026-05-13* Uso o vGate iCarPro um dos melhores scanners do mercado e esse app simplesmente n conecta no vGate, joguei dinheiro fora ### 1/5 — Needs work *2026-05-10, version 1.5.31* Won’t connect with my obd2 ### 1/5 — 🎩 *2026-04-23* Вылетает, теряет связь с OBD2 уже 3-й купил, думал проблема в них. Чем платная отличается от бесплатной версии так и не понял! Халтурщики!! ### 1/5 — No connect *2026-03-30, version 1.5.30* Ever since the last update 1 5 30 it will not connect with this app. Before update it connected ### 1/5 — Не подключается на айфоне. *2026-03-25* Не подключается на айфоне. Хотя приложение купил ### 1/5 — RABISH!!! *2026-03-21* I have bought this App expecting to even Conect to a Wi-Fi device! It’s not working with my iPhone over Bluetooth! Other Free Apps are working over Wi-Fi! And it doesn’t even have an option to choose between Bluetooth or Wi-Fi! 100% DONT RECOMMEND THIS APP!!! ### 1/5 — Not right for my application *2026-03-03* Had someone recommend this app to me, bought the app and a $150 Bluetooth obd2 reader, just to find out it can’t even connect to my truck. Won’t rule out some possible user error but overall still a bit disappointed. ### 1/5 — Won’t connect *2026-02-28, version 1.5.30* Paid $6 for nothing. My ELM327 works with a few other apps but not this one. No settings to help connect. Don’t waste your money. ### 1/5 — Kein WiFi Support *2026-02-28* Die App kann sich nicht mit meinem ELM327 Verbinden und gibt mir nicht mal die Möglichkeit in irgendwelche App Einstellungen zu schauen. Sofort eine Rückerstattung beantragt ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Excelente Scan *2026-05-22* No Iphone conecta automaticamente via Bluetooth, muito bom, recomendo. ### 5/5 — Недоработки *2026-03-27* Сделайте возможность увеличения приборов, на телефоне совсем маленькие ничего не видно. Плюс не ясно как загрузить PID профиль. Можно что то загрузить но это не профиль, а сохранённые какие то данные, но почему то просится в интернет, а это невозможно пока сканер подключён к адаптеру по вайфай. Так же не ясно как подключиться через CarPlay , пишет первое соединение надо сделать с телефона, делаю соединение обрывается связь с CarPlay и наоборот. Обьясните! ### 5/5 — Хотелось бы увидеть редизайн *2026-03-25* Одно из лучших приложений! Куплена лицензия как для компа, так и тут. Но вот версия для iOS выглядит слишком архаично. Вот бы увидеть редизайн под Liquid Glass и в целом сделать поудобнее ### 5/5 — Хорошая программа *2026-03-22* Хорошее приложение! Всё работает, подключилось к адаптеру моментально blinker FD+ ### 5/5 — Pretty awesome *2025-12-20* Not much more to say other than it works great for diagnosing. Pretty crazy to think that I used to have to go to my buddies repair shop and use their crazy expensive snap-on reader to do exactly what this app can do. ### 5/5 — Pocket Diagnostics *2025-12-11* Works well with OBDLink MX+ great to have on the phone when I don’t have my laptop at hand! ### 5/5 — Excellent Product *2025-09-18, version 1.5.27* Gives me real time data when connected to ODBink MX+. Amazing tool, 10/10 value ### 5/5 — Lincoln Navigator *2025-07-26* 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. ### 5/5 — Mazda Essential App *2025-06-26* Best thing since sliced bread 😍 ### 5/5 — Needed if you’re a car guy *2025-06-14* It’s a lite app, 100%, but for quick scan or simple reset, combined with a Bluetooth OBD it’s easy and portable and doesn’t require my laptop --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
