Needs improvement

It is pretty good, but there’s room for improvement. Could use more customizations

Easy to use!!!

This app was easy to use and understand right from the get-go. The Bluetooth interface is fast and easy to connect to. In the app allows for expansion packs to work on specific issues. I would recommend this to everyone.

Installed perfectly! Will enjoy this app for years, don’t know why I did not get it sooner

Appli pas adaptée au marché européen

J’imagine que la bonne notation provient principalement du marché US car cette appli n’est pas du tout adaptée au marché européen. Modèles ou motorisations non listées, des dizaines de paramètres de mesures à passer manuellement au format européen malgré la détection de la langue française, des erreurs de traductions, un mode vocal avec un accent français horrible. Les PIDs sont vides quand on les mesure. Bref j’abandonne car je ne peux pas en faire grand chose ou trop de temps à passer dans une adaptation hypothétique.

Needs iOS app

I purchased an OBD links MX plus to do proxy alignment on my Chrysler 200 with the alpha app, but I had to use my android tablet to actually connect to the modules with the alpha app this OBD links app sync up perfectly to show me everything else though it’s like having one of those big fancy scanners just on my phone it did everything I needed to do couldn’t have asked for anything else

Great Value

I needed additional parameter monitoring for an intermittent engine problem I was having that my basic OBD scanner couldn’t provide. Exceeded my expectations. Love it! I had a question I sent to product support and got a super fast response as well. Thanks!

Nice app

Great app

Great app, does everything I wanted it to do + more. Still getting to understand it, but it shows metrics and fault codes. I use it in conjunction with ChatGPT to understand better and be more prepared when bringing it to a mechanic if there are any issues.

Great gaget

It’s been a pretty good scan tool at this point you can see a lot of the things you need to see out of such a simple device. This is a very handy tool. I used to have to buy an expensive scope to do what this does gray tool.

Very unintuitive

Very unintuitive, just a note if users create a graph they most likely want to export it as a csv as well. Makes no sense why they show us a tiny graph that you can’t export. Also hire a real UI designer.

À mieux faire

Voyante AWD sur CRV HYBRIDE 2019 non effaçable !

Useless

Incredible useless app, spent 150 dollars on their obd adaptor just to be able to do nothing with it through their app. I will return the device!

CarPlay

Would love to see this app available for CarPlay.

Garbage for Hyundais

I’m trying to use this app alongside my OBDLink MX+ to read ATF temps in order to make sure the level is correct per Hyundais directions, but even with advanced diagnostics for Hyundais enabled I can’t find it after searching for 20+ minutes.

Installed Car Scanner and was able to find the value within 3 minutes.

Love it. Cleared basic codes. Learning more, 🤙

Terrible OBD2 Reader, good for bidirectional use

Bought this because its bidirectional, does that job just fine. This OBD2 is not reliable to tell me what the codes are on my ram1500. im looking at lit a lit up dashboard of alarms and the app is saying theres no active codes. Brought out my other, old cheap, obd2 reader and it immediately told me theres 4 active codes. Mx+ is trash obd2 reader. not reliable and only good for bidirectional, not diagnostics. Shame.

Obdlink mx + is amazing

Thanks to this machine and app it is helping me diagnose all the electrical problems on my jeep. This has been a bigger helped than the other OBD scanners I’ve had.

Gages

Works just right excellent app. The only problem is it is difficult to get the gauges you want all on the same page.

Powerful and stable

Great app! There are a ton of options for organizing and changing the look of live data, and the app has always been stable for me. It connects and typically stays connected, with just the occasional hiccup. I enjoy the feature where you can set the ranges and enable alerts outside of a given range. This is an excellent option for a live data dashboard on your phone.

Did the job - read fault codes

Needed to check why the engine light was on. Did the job and read the fault codes to find out if the car can be driven.
