Lost Previous Data

The last update, addition to only displaying Chinese, appears to have deleted all information stored by the previous version of the app. Vehicles, reports, years of historical data that I had carefully collected is now gone. Thanks Autophix.

Worked well until July 2026

With the latest update the app converted from English to what I assume is Chinese. It looks like the App Store entry has also fully converted to Chinese. I’m not sure if there was a change in ownership but my OBD reader is now a paperweight. It’s a shame because the OBD reader was helpful.

Doesn't work

The app changed to something Chinese and the unt not usable anymore :(

Good.

This app was working great but with the new update it only has the language as Chinese. Please help.

Changed Language

Really lame, I’ve had this obd reader for a few years now, just used it in May as well to buy a car. Was great and gave so much detail and feedback. Had my car throw up a code, and plugged in the reader. It’s completely in Mandarin I can’t move passed the first screen asking doe the Vin #

No Longer Usable - info in Chinese

In the recent update, ALL the content and information in the App is written in Chinese. No longer usable!. Less than 1 Star!

Language

It’s not in English at all!

It’s all Chinese to me.

No English option

They updated the app so only Chinese characters can be seen. I can’t read Chinese. This thing is now useless!
