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. ### 1/5 — Language *2026-06-22, version 2.0.0* It’s not in English at all! ### 1/5 — It’s all Chinese to me. *2026-06-15, version 2.0.0* 2.0 versions is only in Chinese. ### 1/5 — No English option *2026-06-15, version 2.0.0* They updated the app so only Chinese characters can be seen. I can’t read Chinese. This thing is now useless! ### 1/5 — Chinese?? *2026-06-14, version 2.0.0* Just when I actually need this app and device, it’s suddenly all Chinese. Please fix!! ### 1/5 — Bad Update *2026-06-13, version 2.0.0* Worked great until the update. Now all wording is in Chinese. Ridiculous can’t use it ### 1/5 — Update Issues *2026-06-12, version 2.0.0* I can’t read any of the menus because they’re not in English. What happened? ### 1/5 — OBD Mate *2026-06-12, version 2.0.0* Changed to chinese literally unusable. Guess im getting a new OBD. ### 1/5 — Why in Chinese now? *2026-06-11, version 2.0.0* How do you change to English? This is a dumb update. ### 2/5 — Recent update June 2026 *2026-06-10, version 2.0.0* Recently updated the previously installed app and now it only opens up in Chinese language. ### 1/5 — Wrong language! *2026-06-09* Had this for a few years, but now out of nowhere, it’s only in Chinese and can’t figure out how to change it. I hope they fix this, or it is now a useless product. ### 2/5 — English *2026-06-09, version 2.0.0* What happened to the English? Opened the app all Chinese now ### 1/5 — No Longer English *2026-06-09, version 2.0.0* App got a major update and is no longer showing in English. ### 1/5 — No English anywhere ? *2026-06-08, version 2.0.0* I can’t read the screen when it’s in another language? ### 1/5 — Used to love, now unusable *2026-06-07, version 2.0.0* I used to love this app but now all of the screens are in Chinese. ### 1/5 — All in Chinese? *2026-06-07, version 2.0.0* The app changed to all Chinese, rendering it completely useless ### 1/5 — New update is terrible *2026-06-07, version 2.0.0* Whatever this new update was changed the language and now my scanner is useless and I can’t see how to change the language back to English. ### 1/5 — Unusable US version *2026-06-06* The latest iOS update in the US App Store has made OBD Mate completely unusable to the vast majority of English speakers, as all features are now in Chinese. For those who don’t speak Chinese, there’s not even a way in the app’s settings to switch to English, or to any other language. Epic fail. ### 1/5 — Stuck in Chinese *2026-06-06, version 2.0.0* The last update converted the utility into simplified Chinese. I don’t read simplified Chinese and I’m trying to convert it back, but I can’t figure out how. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Lost Previous Data *2026-07-09* 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. ### 1/5 — Doesn't work *2026-07-05, version 2.0.0* The app changed to something Chinese and the unt not usable anymore :( ### 1/5 — Changed Language *2026-07-02, version 2.0.0* 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 # ### 1/5 — OBD LANGUAGE *2026-07-01, version 2.0.0* Whats wrong with the english language after I updated the apps ### 1/5 — App updated is now in chinese *2026-06-30, version 2.0.0* Theres no way to switch languages… ### 1/5 — Don’t bother *2026-06-29, version 2.0.0* I’ve had this for a while it was good but now it’s in Chinese ### 1/5 — Terrible *2026-06-28, version 2.0.0* No language support. App completely unusable for non-Mandarin speaking users ### 1/5 — English *2026-06-27, version 2.0.0* Where is the English version? ### 1/5 — No Longer Usable - info in Chinese *2026-06-27, version 2.0.0* In the recent update, ALL the content and information in the App is written in Chinese. No longer usable!. Less than 1 Star! ### 1/5 — English one day, Chinese the next *2026-06-23, version 2.0.0* Update changed the only language to Chinese. Wasted my money. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Good. *2026-07-04* This app was working great but with the new update it only has the language as Chinese.

Weil nicht jeder CarPlay benutzt ! Bitte um baldiges Update 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 Gerät (3210) und App sind super 👍🏻 Hat mir bei einer Fehlersuche schon sehr geholfen ! Grüße aus Berlin ### 4/5 — App stopped working *2020-08-13* App stopped working when I updated to 13.6 ### 4/5 — fuel? *2020-07-20* works well! i only have one question... does it show fuel? i camt seem to find it ### 4/5 — Autophix 3210 *2020-07-11, version 1.2.0* Wäre die App der deutschen Sprache noch mächtiger dann wäre es klasse , deshalb nur 4 Sterne. ### 4/5 — Works, but instructions incorrect. *2019-07-22* Instructions say to pair Bluetooth through iPhone settings, but that always fails as unsupported. However, if you open the app it lets you pair through their interface. After figuring that out, it seems to work fine. ### 3/5 — Changed language *2026-05-31* Not sure what happened but it changed layout and language to Chinese. How do I change it back. 🤷🏻‍♂️🤯 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
