### 1/5 — Demo version only. Don't bother

*2015-04-27, version 2.2.10*

I couldn't figure out why I was getting some of the codes I was getting until I opened the app without being connected to the OBD device.  It still showed it was scanning the car and returning faults.  This is a demo only version that doesn't actually scan the car.

### 2/5 — Only works with THEIR scanner

*2015-04-27, version 2.2.10*

I have a WiFi code reader from Amazon, this App only works with the Mobilscan Dongle that is 111 euro.

### 1/5 — Garbage!

*2014-12-22, version 2.2.5*

Needs its own special adapter.  Doesn't use a generic one like it should.

### 1/5 — Proprietary

*2012-11-03, version 1.2*

Doesn't work with common eBay Bluetooth OBD sensors.
