It's on our list, and reviews like this decide the order we build things. If you email support@mechai.app with the screen you wanted to print, I'll make sure that one ships first. — Alex, MECH AI ### 4/5 — Good but a little slow *2026-06-20* This program is accurate and has helped me a lot so far **Developer response:** Thank you, and noted on the speed: answers got faster in the latest versions and we're still shaving seconds off the diagnostics flow. Glad it's earning its keep. — Alex, MECH AI ### 3/5 — Content *2026-06-17, version 1.3.10* Does not appear that this app has official OEM shot manual content ### 2/5 — Good when it worked *2026-05-18* As a DIY’r it was a real help. Unfortunately it stopped working and I tried everything to get it to work again. It just game a white screen and error codes. If the bugs can be fixed I’d be a customer again. **Developer response:** This means a lot — we’d love to earn you back. The white-screen/error issue you hit has been addressed in a recent update, so please grab the latest version. If anything still misbehaves, email support@mechai.app and we’ll jump on it. Thanks for giving us a real shot as a DIYer. — The MECH AI Team ### 1/5 — Horrible *2026-04-20, version 1.2.0* This AI does not help diagnose or repair anything. It is absolutely trash. Used to of my five questions with no answers whatsoever jump don’t waste your time. ### 1/5 — Bug *2026-04-19, version 1.2.0* All I got was white screen ### 1/5 — Junk *2026-04-08, version 1.2.0* This app uses just general lousy, unspecific responses. You’ll use up all of your messages before you get any kind of answer. You need total junk not worth the time. ### 1/5 — Useless! *2026-02-19, version 1.1.9* Can’t subscribe or even watch the adverts for free use as it just keeps buffering! Tried for over a week incase it was a bug, restarted many times and still no good 👎 ### 1/5 — Bad information *2025-12-28, version 1.1.7* I have trusted the mech ai part number twice and gotten the wrong part twice. I ended up taking the part off and pulled the number from it. Don’t waist your time with this app, ### 4/5 — so far is OK, hope they don’t get waste!! *2025-12-21, version 1.1.7* Great app do DIY folks , keep it up this simple way, don’t get lost ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — DO NOT USE!!! *2026-09-30* This app gives loads of incorrect information that it should absolutely have no excuse for doing. After wasting several hours, I ended up using the free version of Gemini and did not receive ANY inaccurate information. I’m not being dramatic it’s literally that bad. You’ve been warned! **Developer response:** Thank you for the honest warning, and we're sorry it cost you hours. Wrong answers are the most serious problem we can have. If you're willing, email support@mechai.app with your vehicle and the questions you asked. We review accuracy reports against the exact vehicle and use them to fix the cause. — The MECH AI Team ### 1/5 — 5 Free messages *2026-07-04* 5 free messages daily then you have to pay more corporate greed slop, messes up most of the common issues anyway absolutely trash. **Developer response:** You're right that the free tier is limited: every AI answer costs us real money, and 5 a day is what we can give away sustainably. Where I'd push back is 'wrong on most common issues': if it got your vehicle wrong, email support@mechai.app with the car and the question and I'll review the exact answers myself, fix what's wrong, and add a free month of DIY so you can judge it properly. — Alex, MECH AI ### 1/5 — Dismal! *2026-06-29, version 1.3.10* Dismal failure unfortunately! I had high hopes for this app but even if signing up presents major issues then what other problems will emerge? Sorry but it’s a no from me. 😬 ### 1/5 — Shonky garbage *2026-06-22* This is the shonkiest app on the planet. It’s clunky. When you try and ask a question you immediately hit a paywall. Horrible **Developer response:** Fair hit: asking a question and getting a plan screen first is a bad first minute. There is a free tier (5 AI Mechanic questions a day, no card needed), so if it went straight to a paywall for you, something misfired. Email support@mechai.app with what you saw and I'll fix it and add a free month for the trouble. — Alex, MECH AI ### 1/5 — ZERO stars *2026-06-04, version 1.3.0* Every suggestion or repair was wrong ### 1/5 — Worked good but… *2026-05-23, version 1.2.0* App works good when it works. Last month 90% of the time it says server error. Disappointing since I paid for the monthly subscription. Tried to contest support for this no response. ### 1/5 — Not responding *2026-05-21, version 1.2.0* This app won’t open in iPhone ### 1/5 — Blank white screen *2026-05-15, version 1.2.0* Did this app break? All I get when I open the app is a blank white screen ### 1/5 — Buggy, unusable. *2026-05-01, version 1.2.0* Good luck even typing without a server connection error popping up. In 2026 this is an abysmal failure. ### 1/5 — Server error *2026-04-28, version 1.2.0* Have been trying this for couple of weeks with same outcome - Server Error. Useless! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Big help and saves me money on repairs *2026-09-27* I am a senior woman and this app helps me repair my car! Thanks guys! **Developer response:** Thank you! Hearing that MECH AI helps you work on your own car is exactly why we build it. Happy wrenching! — The MECH AI Team ### 5/5 — Mech AI is truly a life changing app *2026-06-18* It really a helps the newer generation of techs that are just learning to diagnose a car properly based on the customers words and descriptions of symptoms, also it makes me feel more independent in my own work letting me attempt to figure out the underlying issue based on my own educated guess’s **Developer response:** Thank you so much for the 5-star review — it genuinely makes our day.

Thanks for the kind words, and happy wrenching. — The MECH AI Team ### 5/5 — Awesome *2026-04-04* Was looking for something like this and didn’t want to pay the prices for All data or Mitchell1 but this exceeds expectations and recommended to any mobile mechanic or DIY enthusiasts. Don’t use it all the time but when I need it. Love the information. Watch out other shop management systems. This is a game changer and totally recommend. **Developer response:** Thank you! Pro-level info without AllData/Mitchell1 pricing is the whole idea. “Game changer” means a lot — thanks for recommending us. — The MECH AI Team ### 5/5 — Great App *2026-01-03* Super helpful, this app is a much have. Very helpful to diagnose your car. Thanks **Developer response:** Thanks so much — glad it’s helping you diagnose your car. Appreciate you! — The MECH AI Team ### 5/5 — Saved me a trip to the shop. *2025-10-29* I’d talk with this all before committing to massive repairs because it saved me so much time **Developer response:** That’s exactly the win we hope for — a quick check before committing to a big repair. Thanks for sharing it. — The MECH AI Team ### 5/5 — ASE master *2025-10-22* I’ve been a mechanic for about 32 years. I’m an AC master technician I have a master certified Chrysler technician. I’ve got certifications for Ford GM tire pro from Goodyear in Bridgetown. I am probably 180 certifications in automotive. This site has been a lifesaver for me. I opened my own mobile mechanic business about seven years ago and I have not really been able to afford or support all data or identity fix on a monthly fee because it’s just so expensive for being an independent person like I am so I haven’t had access to information like this website can give me has been a game changer from a technician that’s been doing it most of his life or a week warrior. That’s just replacing stuff in his garage. It’s gonna have the information you need to complete whatever task you’re trying to do. Thank you for reading my review. **Developer response:** Coming from a 32-year master tech running your own mobile business — this genuinely made our day. Thank you. We’ll keep earning that lifesaver status. — The MECH AI Team --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
