Waste

I have used this app for quite a while now and recent updates means I have to pay now just to use basic functions so I will not be using again

Response from developer

The FREE version has no additional functionality limitations; all features available in the previous version of the app are still available after the update. If you have access issues or can't find the feature you need, please contact us directly through the app (i) - Contact us and specify the issue. We'll investigate the issue.

Won’t connect after update

Worked fine until the recent update. All lights working on WiFi dongle no issues with the dongle. I did email PNN the log and description no response.

If you have any questions or problems, please get in touch with us directly from the app: Home Screen - Information - Contact Us, and be sure to describe your issue in more detail.

Get rid of it

This OBD 2 scanner use to be good for years it was free and easy to use. But greedy industry you are better off buying a OBD2 scanner that doesn’t have ads or buy a subscription in order to use this device. I deeply regret buying this garbage.

Response from developer

Ads and some limitations are only available in the free version of the app. You can use the app without purchasing PRO. If you have any questions or problems, please contact us directly through the app (i) — "Contact Us" — and describe the issue. We'll do our best to assist you.

Stop pushing your adapter

This is a pretty good app, but you can’t connect without the app shoving a new adapter in your face. I HAVE AN ADAPTER. Sure, offer your option once but never again.

Scam

Used to be a great app, then my phone offloaded it and I have to pay$35 to buy it again. No way to restore previous purchase. Never happened before, even though the app offloaded previously. Avoid this, use a different OBD software.

Response from developer

All App Store licenses are attached to the account you pay from. Using the same account and re-installing inCarDoc should automatically upgrade the app to Pro. You might also force an upgrade with Settings - Buy Pro (scroll to the bottom of the Settings page) - Restore purchase More details about the app at https://inCarDoc.com

Ok

Works fine when it connects but it has trouble doing so

Is anyone maintaining this app?

Well, I can’t give it one star because it has got me through several issues. I just get really frustrated when I’m unable to connect to my OBDII reader. I can connect to the OBDII reader’s Wi-Fi through my phone settings just fine, but when I open the app, it’s very difficult to establish a connection.

Much improved and good enough for me

Tried using this 5 years ago in iOS but it wasn't compatible with my cheap obdii dongle. Now it seems to work great and I may not need to go back to using an Android device to work with said dongle

The free version is adequate for reading and clearing standard odbii codes and basic ecu engine statistics, etc.

Not much help in pro version

No difference between the two for Jeep and Chrysler cars. Just basic stuff.

Backwards Step!

Latest update has removed all my car pictures and you cannot update within the App. Completely pointless.

Disappointing

This app perpetually disappoints me. There was a recent update and I was so excited that this app may become useful, but no. I regret buying this app.
The most important thing this app needs to do is pull the engine codes. That’s it. Unfortunately, the app does not make it easy to access the engine codes. It would be even better if the app could explain what they mean.

Was great, newest update has broken it!!!

Used to work

It used to work but now every time I go to the diagnostic trouble codes section the app crashes. It worked before the update for years, but now is completely useless
