User reviews

Owner

This very good scanner I’m like that

Great app, needs better documentation

I love this tool and app. I think the speed is very fast on acquiring data and it works amazingly well. My only issue is whenever you do actuator tests or bidirectional tests, it doesn’t really tell you what conditions are not met to run the tests or why they don’t work correctly. Other than that I highly recommend it! It’s amazing and I think will only get better with time!

UPDATE: Thank you developer for looking into it. I really have been spreading the word with this tool and have been using it every day almost. My cousin owns a shop and he said he’s impressed it can 95% of the things his $1000 scan tool can do. I know you can only do so much and keep the price point low still but you are above and beyond all the other scan tools at this price point and I’ve used like four or five of them before I settled on this one.

Don’t do it!

Horrible app. Won’t connect to Bluetooth. But yet you have to connect to update.
No serial number to enter when it asks. Waste of money.

Response from developer

Thank you for your feedback. We're sorry to hear you had a frustrating experience. The GWSMARTBT is designed to connect directly to the vehicle through the Bluetooth VCI, and we understand how disappointing it can be when the setup process doesn't go as expected. In most cases, connection and registration issues can be resolved quickly with assistance from our support team. The serial number required for registration is located on the VCI device itself, and software updates require an active connection between the app and the VCI. If you're unable to connect or locate the serial number, we'd like the opportunity to help get you up and running. Please contact GEARWRENCH Diagnostics Support at support@gearwrenchdiagnostics.com or call our technical support team. Our goal is to provide professional-grade diagnostic tools backed by responsive customer support, and we're committed to resolving your issue as quickly as possible. We appreciate the opportunity to earn back your confidence.

Great solution on the go.

I have quite a few scan tools from various manufacturers. Mostly stand alone units. I wanted something I could throw in my glove box. I bought three different Bluetooth scanners since I have three vehicles, I figured I could test a few different units and have a simple solution in each vehicle. This GearWrench scan tool if my favorite. It has a vast amount of actions and resets. The software looks very similar to a Xtool stand alone scanner I have. I use HPTuners to create custom tunes. It’s nice to have an easy Bluetooth scanners so I can reset/relearn fuel trims or gearbox relearns. The Xtool does this quickly and easily.

Don’t waste your money

App sucks. Cool thing when it does work, about ONE FIFTH OF THE TIME. Worst money I’ve ever spent on a diagnostic tool. Trust the other reviews. I should have.
