### 5/5 — The only iOS OBD app that reads from both ECUs simultaneously on Alfa

*2023-09-26*

The only iOS OBD app that reads from both ECUs simultaneously on Alfa. A+

### 4/5 — Bravo. The only OBD-II app that supports reading frommultiple ECUs simultaneously via Elm327 BTLE

*2023-02-13, version 2.0.11*

Bravo. The only OBD-II app that supports reading frommultiple ECUs simultaneously via Elm327 BTLE. Worth it for that if you have a Giulia or Stelvio Quadrifoglio. 

Also the abolity to reposition and resize guages with simple gestures is by far the best of its kind.

That being said, this app is missing a lot of features that OBD Fusion and CarScanner have, such as customizable appearance where you can reposition and change color of text labels relative to the values. At least adding more styles/color options would be good—all we get is black and white apparently.

Lastly, there is a lack of logging, which is a standard capability on the other two I mentioned (best done by CarScanner). 

Overall though for the price it's worth having!!

### 5/5 — OBD

*2022-08-20, version 2.0.10*

Great tool!  So simple to use!

### 5/5 — Very intuitive!

*2018-11-21, version 1.13.0*

I really like the easy arrangements of the gauges in the dashboard which I use most. Could also use the error reset for my car several times - my car has occasionally the error code P0171 since my last garage visit but don't want to spend more money on this. Currently I run this app with the Onewell BLE adapter and it works very smoothly.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your review!
We are very glad to hear that you like our app!
