Doesn’t change measure units. Diagnostic is always connecting. Without giving any hint it is working or has crashed. Have to force shut it down and start again. ### 1/5 — Biggest waste of money *2025-08-22, version 2.1.3* App crashes instantly biggest waste of money I’ve ever spent . ### 1/5 — Wurde nie fertig entwickelt *2025-08-19, version 2.1.3* Dieses Kickstarterprogramm hat ein Sponsoren leider ziemlich enttäuscht. Die unter dem Strich teure Hardware (mit eigentlich mit eigentlich sehr vielversprechenden Funktionen) hat von vorne rein nicht richtig mit der Software funktioniert. Der Funktionsumfang der Software wurde nie zu Ende entwickelt. Zuverlässig benutzen konnte ich das System leider nie. ### 1/5 — Locks up while reading data *2024-08-24, version 2.1.3* This app is useless. I’ve uninstalled. ### 1/5 — App crashes on iOS 17.5.1 *2024-07-13, version 2.1.3* As soon a connection to the Plx is made, the app crashes.. I guess another email to tech support. ### 1/5 — No longer works *2023-12-27, version 2.1.3* Third party apps have slowly dropped kiwi4 support, most of them no longer connect. Now even their own app - while it will connect - no longer displays data. App hadn’t been updated in 4 years. Assume updates are needed for changes in iOS. So, shopping for a new OBD2 adapter. iOS 17.2.1 iPhone 15 pro max. ### 1/5 — Total Junk *2022-06-09, version 2.1.3* I’ve never been able to get this app to work reliably. Crashes when I run diagnostic check. Also very flaky connection to scanner. Kiwi s u c k s A s s ### 1/5 — Trash ! Don’t spend your time and money with it. *2022-05-30, version 2.1.3* Trash ! Don’t spend your time and money with it. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2021-11-08, version 2.1.3* It will connect to the vehicle, but won’t do anything after that. ### 1/5 — Forever “Coming Soon” *2021-10-10, version 2.1.3* The app has major sections (notably the performance measurement section) that are “coming soon” for several years. Don’t let the feature set lure you I to thinking the device is a great purchase because it’s supported by a app delivering features “soon”. It looks like an abandoned product. Probably a white-label product with a app made by a third party that went out of business. ## Frequently asked questions about Kiwi OBD ### What does the Kiwi OBD app do?
