### 3/5 — Used to work great.

*2022-10-30, version 2.1*

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

### 2/5 — Connecting problems

*2015-12-04, version 1.2*

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

### 3/5 — Works well but has a few problems

*2015-10-24, version 1.2*

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.

### 4/5 — Needs an update for IOS 9

*2015-10-06, version 1.1*

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.

### 3/5 — Use to work perfect

*2015-10-02, version 1.1*

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

### 1/5 — Crashes when opening app.  Just skip

*2015-09-21, version 1.1*

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

### 3/5 — Needs fix for iOS 9

*2015-09-19, version 1.1*

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!!!

### 2/5 — Update

*2015-09-18, version 1.1*

Please update for iOS 9 users.

### 1/5 — Used to be good

*2015-07-01, version 1.1*

Now, the app crashes or shows a blank screen constantly, and half the time it doesn't recognize my iPhone 4s.

I still haven't figured out how to plug it into my iPhone 6. I sent them an email asking if the Lightning to 30-pin adapter would work, and I haven't gotten a response yet. Maybe they're out of business?

### 1/5 — Go point

*2015-05-20, version 1.1*

Doesn't work waste of a $100 cable purchase

### 1/5 — Needs Major Update ASAP

*2015-05-01, version 1.1*

This app hasn't been updated in over a year. It needs to be updated to be more compatible with iOS 8, and the Bluetooth device needs a firmware update as well.

### 1/5 — Poor product

*2015-02-28, version 1.1*

Do not buy!!!!!!! Junk. Will not connect. Crashes every 30 seconds. Wayyyy better devices out there. This is not one of them.

### 1/5 — PURE D GARBAGE

*2014-08-18, version 1.1*

### 1/5 — Horrible!!

*2014-06-01, version 1.1*

I have yet to find an app to go with this pricey hardware that works. I am so sorry I ever bought this piece if junk. I am going back to a normal consumer wired scanner as nothing I have tried works with this. I would rate it lower but 1 star is the lowest.

### 4/5 — Please fix the bug

*2014-06-01, version 1.1*

I swear by this product but since the iOS7 update it has been very buggy.

### 4/5 — Useful but buggy

*2014-02-24, version 1.1*

Good app gives lots of details about the car. The hardware is expensive. Sometimes i have to reconnect the iphone or the hardware module in order to connect to ecu.

### 1/5 — Apparently not compatible w iPhone 16

*2025-06-30, version 2.1*

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.

### 1/5 — Crashes

*2024-05-20, version 2.1*

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

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work anymore

*2024-03-25, version 2.1*

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

### 1/5 — I spent how much on this app and device?

*2023-11-30, version 2.1*

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.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work anymore

*2023-10-27, version 2.1*

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

### 1/5 — When is the update?

*2023-08-03, version 2.1*

App keeps crashing when I try to scan

### 1/5 — Garbage app, garbage hardware and garbage company.

*2022-02-26, version 2.1*

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

### 1/5 — Used to be great

*2018-03-05, version 2.1*

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.

### 1/5 — Cable no longer supported

*2017-04-10, version 1.2*

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

### 1/5 — Does not work n iOS 10

*2016-11-18, version 1.2*

Please update your apps

### 5/5 — Paid for itself many times over

*2018-08-28, version 2.1*

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.

### 5/5 — Love it

*2017-11-10, version 2.1*

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

### 5/5 — Works great, directions need help

*2016-03-25, version 1.2*

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.

### 5/5 — Most used app

*2014-06-07, version 1.1*

I use this multiple times weekly with my Gopoint BLuetooth obdII and my car and family cars. It's been a great investment.

### 5/5 — iOS 7

*2013-10-01, version 1.0.6*

Why you destroy rating when an iOS is released amazes me. iOS 7, if using it, changed everything about the iPhones. I spoke with owner, through customer support which is easy, and they are doing everything they can right now to fix the program for iOS 7. This iOS changed the phones to the point where they are no longer the iPhones we used to know. Let them have a chance before you berate them.

### 5/5 — Works fine now

*2013-02-24, version 1.0.6*

The latest updates to the app and cable firmware fixed everything. Got prompt replays from developers and prompt fixes. Thanks.

### 5/5 — GL1 Users May Need to update Firmware

*2013-02-06, version 1.0.5*

So, I had to update the firmware in my GL1 cable to get this to work again.  
The "trick" for that is to download their "BT1" app and run it.  That will prompt to update the firmware in the cable.  After that, the GoPoint app worked again no prob.

### 5/5 — Works great, more data than I expected.

*2012-08-17*

I think this is a great tool for a casual user, it gives excellent data on how a vehicle is performing.  It would be nice to view historical data that it has collected, but that doesn't concern me a great deal.  I did have a lot of trouble out of the box, but once I updated the firmware on the BT1 it worked great on all the vehicles I used it in, including my troublemaker.  Well worth the money I spent.

### 5/5 — Super

*2012-07-12, version 1.0.3*

Ca fonctionne super bien cette application!!!!

### 5/5 — Great product

*2012-06-01, version 1.0.3*

Works perfectly on my 2012 hilux sr diesel! Has metric option as well.
