Apparently not compatible w iPhone 16

Worked years ago but no longer usable. “Protocol faults” using Dash Commander, simply won’t connect using this app. It shows connection in the iPhone Bluetooth list but that’s it. Looks like my GoPoint device is now e-scrap.

Crashes

App crashes. Now my code reader is useless. Insane.

Doesn’t work anymore

It was a very good scanner. But it hasn’t been updated to use newer phones.

I spent how much on this app and device?

Ok so I spent way too much on the device that went with this app only to have GoPoint forget to maintain the app. Last update was how long ago? Come on guys, you can do better than that. You made a ton of money off of suckers like me. Do the right thing and update your app.

Doesn’t work anymore

iPhone 13 Pro Max. Deleted and reinstalled, but it still crashes before you ever get any useful info.

When is the update?

App keeps crashing when I try to scan

Used to work great.

Doesn’t seem to be supported on iPhone 14. Used to work great on my iPhone 6s. Seems like it needs an update.

Garbage app, garbage hardware and garbage company.

Garbage app, garbage hardware and garbage company. Why this app is allowed on iTunes App Store is beyond me.

Paid for itself many times over

Bought way back when Popular Mechanics reviewed the app and reader. They gave it high marks back then and today I’m continuing giving it high marks and recommendations.

Used to be great

I’ve used this app for years. I first had the wired OBD2 plug and then the wireless version. The app used to show you what monitors were set but no longer. Now its useless.

Love it

Love the app have had it since the gl1 and it works on every vehicle I have. My only problem is how Apple constantly updates and GoPoint is behind on making it compatible

Cable no longer supported

The GL1 cable is no longer supported apparently, so when you update the app, your expensive cable is useless. Very disappointing.

Does not work n iOS 10

Please update your apps

Works great, directions need help

I got this after I had a check engine light that cost me $90 to diagnose and clear for a loose gas cap. (Code P0456).
The app and device cost the exact same price, so I bought this system and have now cleared two code P0456s. So I have save $90 now.
The directions should tell you that some cars need engine to be turned off to clear the light.
On the other hand, Gopoint has a tech support person who is easy to reach and told me this detail right away, so not a big deal.

Connecting problems

Sometimes the app doesn't detect that it is connected to the iPod

Works well but has a few problems

This app works well with the GoPoint BT1 and is a great way to scan live engine data and watch the normal function of your engine in real time. However, it has a few problems:
- There is no mechanism for adding parameter IDs to the app, preventing other subsystem and sensor data such as engine oil temp or transmission temp from being scanned. This makes the app much less useful.
- The UI wastes space and only allows three live data readings to be displayed at a time. A slimmer UI would allow more readings to be shown at once.
- There is no mechanism to hide readings of subsystems and sensors that you don't care about. This forces a lot of scrolling to be done.
- The live MPG reading doesn't work for all vehicles.

Needs an update for IOS 9

Fairly good app, but no longer works. Needs to be updated for use with IOS 9. Now I have a $100 OBDII Reader that is useless.

Use to work perfect

Updated iOS device to 9.0.2 and now app crashes every time I open it. Please fix!

Crashes when opening app. Just skip

App crashes on start. App should just be removed from store.

Older review notes for when it did work:
App forces you to create an account, wants to enable location services and all for what? So you know the make and model and location of my car? Really isn't necessary. Ignoring all of that, it only really doesn't do much to deserve more than 1 star

Needs fix for iOS 9

I like the app was working well, until the iOS 9 update. Get on it and fix this!!! I use this app a lot for my job, and it's very inconvenient to not be able to use it. Please fix soon!!!
