Hilft nicht wirklich weiter ### 3/5 — Not worth the cost *2026-06-03* There are alternatives which are both cheaper and better. ### 4/5 — Car scan *2026-04-02* Appreciated the little device that helped me identify problem ### 1/5 — Stole my card info *2026-01-03* Instantly stole my card information do not download this app ### 1/5 — No real temperature data *2025-12-27* I bought this app hoping it would be a versatile app for working on our Toyota Highlander. The pro version provides nothing useful that the free version doesn’t give. There is no oil temperature data or transmission data that you would find in better apps. Don’t waste your money ### 1/5 — Incompréhensible *2025-12-18* Ça mouline et ça demande un code wifi alors que l’obd2 est disponible. C’est cher et ça n’aboutit pas. ### 1/5 — Garbage *2025-11-13* Unless you buy paid version, this app will constantly bombard you with ads with no way to get out of them if you are driving because exit menu is deceptively hidden and font sizes suitable for ants. I got it to monitor coolant temp and engine RPMs but it will suddenly drop the Bluetooth connection and the only way to get it back to working is to reboot it. Terrible interface. ### 1/5 — Does not work on Nissan *2025-11-06* Paid for the subscription and it did not work and read the fault codes ### 1/5 — Useless waste of money *2025-10-26* Way too basic and many of the live data do not work, doesn’t let you choose which module specifically to scan and does not show pending dtc ### 1/5 — Useless *2025-10-15* Does not work ### 1/5 — No good *2025-10-07, version 1.5* Can not get to work at alll ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — No good *2026-08-17* Few parameters working ### 1/5 — Actual trash. *2026-08-16* They keep charging my account after I cancelled my subscription weeks ago. And they keep taking more and more every time. What the heck even is this app. Delete it before it happens to you. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work!!! *2026-08-11* Paid one time fee, nothing happens.

In the middle of searching for the device I started getting in app notifications to install a cleanup tool because my device is infected. I know that it’s not. ### 1/5 — The worst *2026-05-08* Extremely hard to hook up several different charges pay attention to what you paying for very cheap support is awful ### 1/5 — Never ever worked *2026-05-08, version 1.8* OBD2 Bluetooth never connected ### 1/5 — Funktioniert nicht. *2026-04-11* Verbindet sich nicht mit OBD Stecker. Keinerlei Funktion. Scam auf ganzer Linie. ### 1/5 — Piece of **** *2026-02-06* So even if you pay the subscription you still get the advertising but it is not the biggest problem of this app. The biggest problem that it just not working. Just waste of time ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great *2026-08-11, version 2.2* Great ápp ### 5/5 — Bueno *2026-05-04, version 1.8* Bueno ### 5/5 — Top *2026-04-05* 10 ### 5/5 — Altin *2026-02-26* Qengaj ### 5/5 — Ok *2026-02-12, version 1.7* 👍🏼👍🏼 ### 5/5 — Clever *2026-02-01, version 1.7* Jiménez0921 ### 5/5 — Форд *2025-11-15, version 1.5* Бита ### 5/5 — Ok *2025-11-14* Ok ### 5/5 — c *2025-11-12, version 1.5* c ### 5/5 — Jetta vw 2013 *2025-08-07* My car --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
