### 1/5 — The old option I get it to connect to a WiFi signal and then it says it’s not supported.

*2021-06-25, version 2.15*

The only option I get it to connect to a wifi signal but then it says it’s not supported. 

No other options, no help screens.

### 1/5 — Stay away

*2021-06-17, version 2.15*

If you pay you will regret it 
Once you pay they will force you rate the app 5 stars to unlock all the features 
And then you are stuck with a single page app that doesn’t work 
If you have $5 to waste go ahead and pay 
This is just a big scam app

### 1/5 — Second don’t buy

*2021-06-08, version 2.15*

App does not function but tries to attach itself to your phone.  I deleted it immediately.

### 1/5 — Fastest $5 I’ve ever lost

*2021-06-07, version 2.15*

Never even fired up ,just a generic display,tried three brand new OBD2 devices that I know work and none were compatible ,waste of time and flat out a scam ,beware folks

### 1/5 — Garbage.

*2021-06-05, version 2.15*

Complete garbage. I wish i would have read the reviews before. It is a complete rip off. The app does nothing at all.

### 1/5 — This app is a scam!

*2021-05-30, version 2.15*

You have no option but to rate the app before you can use it. And it will not connect at all to a Bluetooth scanner.

### 1/5 — Same as all the other reviews

*2021-05-28, version 2.15*

There should be a class action lawsuit against Apple for this kind of abuse. I don’t blame the developer nearly as much as I blame Apple. Apple should not allow this kind of app on their store and refund everyone who purchased it.

### 1/5 — NOT functional

*2021-04-17, version 2.15*

I don’t want my money back I just want others to be aware they are about to waste $5 bucks. Will not connect with my scanner. Settings doesn’t provide options to manually search for devices. I really don’t know if it could work with other devices maybe you could get lucky.

### 1/5 — Wow! Five stars demand!?

*2021-04-15, version 2.15*

The app demanded to be given 5 stars when started. I believe that deserves 1 star, actually zero B, but that’s not an option.

You do not deserve $5 paid for you. I have to figure out how to get them back.

### 1/5 — Scam

*2021-04-11, version 2.15*

You have to give this app a 5 star rating before you ever use it, to make it functional. I refuse to give it 5 stars, without ever using it. Use a different OBD2 app that will let you give it an honest review.

### 1/5 — Worst software ever...

*2021-03-04, version 2.15*

Like others, I was prompted to give 5-star feedback to 
“Unlock full features.”  WHAT?!  Unlike others, I opted out.  When you opt out, the app simply doesn’t work.  It doesn’t even see the OBD2 BlueTooth devices.  I tried 2; Autel and BlueDriver, both of which were tested and worked perfectly in other apps.  I am going to report this app to Apple authorities.  This app isn’t just a rip off, it’s a scam.

### 1/5 — SCAM!  DO NOT PURCHASE!

*2022-02-23, version 2.15*

Do not pay for this app.  Once you open it, it says you have to do a 5-star review in order to access all features within the app!  

Download size is only 3mb when compared to other apps that are significantly higher.  This is because there is NOTHING on this app. 

Don’t get it!

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work, wasted. Refund not available

*2022-02-21, version 2.15*

Total scam. Wants 5 star rating to unlock features. Was incompatible then no refund available. Set your $5 on fire with a lighter; you’ll get more enjoyment.

### 1/5 — Theft of $5

*2022-02-13, version 2.15*

This app does nothing other than require a 5 star review … before showing a page with arbitrary data and NO use. There isn’t any way of going back or adjusting any settings. 
Shame on Apple for letting this scam continue.

### 1/5 — Horrible App - Asks you to give 5 stars before you can use it

*2022-02-12, version 2.15*

I think this may be the worst engine monitoring app I have seen yet.  User Interface is horrible.  Doesn’t offer much in features.  I just wasted $4.99

### 1/5 — Forced to give 5 stars to use?

*2022-02-06, version 2.15*

My phone slowed down after install. Don’t trust it. Google how to get a refund and save your money.

### 1/5 — Don’t waste your money

*2022-02-05, version 2.15*

App tells you to rate it 5 stars before unlocking the features. It then doesn’t even work. Can’t hook to my OBD2 reader and also does not leave main screen. Absolute trash.

### 1/5 — Garbage do not buy. I repeat other garbage.

*2021-11-29, version 2.15*

Horrible app. Would never recommend. Reporting to credit card as fraud.  Never by anything from them ever. Robbery.

### 1/5 — Do not install, you can’t get a refund and it is a scam

*2021-11-26, version 2.15*

Do not buy, immediately on starting it says to rate it 5 stars for it to work. I tried to request a refund and it was ineligible. Not sure how this is in Apples secure web store but don’t make my mistake.

### 1/5 — Junk

*2021-09-03, version 2.15*

Misleading. This is listed like it’s the torque app but does not have the functionality. This is total garbage. Plus it wants a 5 star rating before you can use it.

### 1/5 — Straight up theft

*2021-06-25, version 2.15*

As someone else has already started, this app is a complete scam. I should have read the reviews before buying. Just lost $5. It’s a shame that Apple allows these scammers to have their apps in the App Store

### 5/5 — Clown world

*2022-10-01, version 2.15*

Is it obvious how does Tim Apple allows this to be?    They must be collecting other data utilizing this app and deviceclown world13

### 5/5 — Good product

*2022-02-17, version 2.15*

I have used this product for several years on multiple vehicles and is just great. The unit I use is the paid app.

### 5/5 — Not good

*2021-07-08, version 2.15*

As many others have written, an app that requires a 5 Star review before it will open, it it opens. Apple, how can you allow this? By the way, this type of action is extortion and Apple is an accomplice to the act.

### 5/5 — Let’s see

*2021-06-29, version 2.15*

Not really sure if this is a 5 star product, I just purchased and had to say so to use it. So will try to remember to update.

### 5/5 — Does not work

*2021-05-19, version 2.15*

This is a straight up theft.  You have to give it 5 stars to start it and then it does not work at all.  It is a theft, plain and simple.  However, it also connects to your network so who know what kind of thievery it does there.  Apple should vet better.  So bad

### 5/5 — Works great

*2021-05-19, version 2.15*

Worked right away

### 5/5 — Required 5 star to activate

*2021-05-15, version 2.15*

This app requires you to submit a 5 star review to activate. Hope it works...

### 5/5 — Same

*2021-04-16, version 2.15*

Same

### 5/5 — Junk

*2021-04-07, version 2.15*

This dumb app is junk , they better not charge me .

### 5/5 — Rip-off

*2020-12-21, version 2.15*

Made me give 5 stars to make it work and it still doesn’t work. Rip-off
