### 1/5 — Sad

*2026-07-31, version 8.3.1*

I just want to reset an engine light. Nothing more than to read the code and reset it. What a shame I haven’t found a free version yet. All the ones that used in the past are making you upgrade. 0 stars!!!!!!

### 1/5 — Paid

*2026-07-28, version 8.3.1*

No data available

### 1/5 — Does not work, stay away from this one it’s a con

*2026-07-01, version 8.3.0*

100% absolutely rubbish don’t download, if it doesent work they don’t care and it took two weeks to get a response to contact support.

### 1/5 — Doesent work

*2026-06-25, version 8.3.0*

Absolutely rubbish don’t download

### 1/5 — Waste of money

*2026-06-21, version 8.3.0*

Does not work. I have installed this and paid for a premium subscription more than once. It does not “find “ the VGate OBD2 adapter. It is of no use as a diagnostic  application tool.

### 1/5 — Premium

*2026-06-13, version 8.3.0*

Can’t clear engine codes unless you upgrade to premium. I have been trying to upgrade to premium for more than a day and the option never loads.

### 1/5 — It’s not working

*2026-06-12, version 8.3.0*

It’s doing flushing, a red light and I can’t connect to it

### 1/5 — Deceptive 3 day trial offer

*2026-05-25, version 8.2.2*

Showing “3 day free trial” directly under monthly subscription is deceptive. I did not get a free trial. Only paid monthly.

### 1/5 — No good

*2026-05-17, version 8.2.2*

Can’t even connect

### 1/5 — Paid for lifetime access, now wants payments

*2026-05-16, version 8.2.2*

When I downloaded this app, I paid for a lifetime premium full access subscription . The app worked better than expected. Now this app is asking for a monthly/yearly subscription to gain full premium access. I go to the restore my subscription, it restores my subscription, then asks for payment to gain full access . Please restore my lifetime full premium access subscription.

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2026-03-29, version 8.2.0*

Love this app

### 5/5 — Great app

*2026-03-28, version 8.2.0*

I have really enjoyed the functionality and versatility of this app. It connects with a whole lot of different Bluetooth devices to give you information about your vehicle at a basic level. I have not bought the professional level, and have not felt like I needed to. I get the basic information that I need. My vehicle is under a full warranty and so I already know what is going on when I take it into the shop.

### 5/5 — Felix

*2026-03-26, version 8.2.0*

Bueno

### 5/5 — Really useful

*2026-03-14, version 8.2.0*

I’ve used this several times with both of my vehicles, super useful for identifying fault codes and engine management lights. Would be nice to have some additional features but not sure what OBD2 supports beyond this app.

### 5/5 — Easy

*2026-02-10, version 8.1.3*

It’s the best app for me
