Holt euch lieber die „Car Scanner“ App!!! **Developer response:** Sorry für den Ärger! Wir haben seitdem den kompletten OBD-Verbindungscode neu geschrieben, und die App (jetzt OBD2 Dashboards) verbindet sich über Bluetooth LE und WLAN deutlich zuverlässiger. Bitte aktualisiere die App und probiere es noch einmal. Falls es weiterhin nicht klappt, schreib uns an admin@androidslide.com mit deinem Adapter und Fahrzeug, dann helfen wir dir. ### 1/5 — Für E-Autos unbrauchbar! *2024-12-21* Für E-Autos unbrauchbar. :-( Leider umsonst gekauft. **Developer response:** Danke für das Feedback. Elektroautos liefern viele Werte nur über herstellerspezifische Daten statt über Standard-OBD2, deshalb zeigen OBD-Apps dort oft nur wenig an. Wir haben die App (jetzt OBD2 Dashboards) inzwischen komplett neu gebaut. Schreib uns gern an admin@androidslide.com mit deinem Fahrzeugmodell, dann schauen wir es uns an. ### 1/5 — Rubbish *2022-11-09, version 1.4.2* Money waste ### 1/5 — Nunca funciono *2022-03-28* Conecte todo mi OBD y jamas funciono nada quiero mi dinero para atrasss **Developer response:** Sentimos mucho las molestias. Desde tu reseña hemos reescrito todo el código de conexión OBD, y la app (ahora OBD2 Dashboards) se conecta de forma mucho más fiable por Bluetooth LE y Wi-Fi. Actualízala y vuelve a probar; si sigue sin funcionar, escríbenos a admin@androidslide.com con tu adaptador y tu coche. Los reembolsos los gestiona Apple en reportaproblem.apple.com. ### 1/5 — Won’t connect consult II *2021-11-19* Looks good, won’t connect to Nissan consult **Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback. The app works with standard OBD2 (ELM327) adapters, so older Nissan Consult-only cars without an OBD2 port aren't supported. If your car does have OBD2, we've rebuilt all the connection code since your review (the app is now OBD2 Dashboards), so please update and try again, or email admin@androidslide.com with your car model. ### 1/5 — Totally not functioning app *2021-11-18* The app it’s not communicating with my blue driver Bluetooth connected OBD2 It appears that the Hampton is just halfway design and totally not functioning. I demand my money back **Developer response:** Sorry about this. BlueDriver uses its own closed protocol that only works with the BlueDriver app, so no other OBD app can connect to it. Any ELM327 adapter (Bluetooth LE or Wi-Fi), such as Veepeak, Vgate or OBDLink CX, works with the rebuilt app, now OBD2 Dashboards.
