### 1/5 — Not friendly

*2026-01-22*

I’ve spent 30 minutes on this app just trying to get it to connect to the same Wi-Fi. The product says it’s on my Wi-Fi. However, my phone is not but when I changed the app to a different Wi-Fi, then tells me that my phone is on my Wi-Fi. This thing is ridiculously not friendly.

### 5/5 — Good

*2025-12-13*

Its a good platform they message back almost immediately, and if you’re having problems, they can redo the tune. It’s easy if it bricks your car you didn’t know what you were doing ,use the tool and retune the car and its un bricked easy

### 1/5 — won’t let you log in

*2025-11-16*

tried to verify my account and it says they sent an email but i got nothing. i requested a password reset and instantly got an email to reset my password but nothing for an account verification. i’ll be damned if i just paid $1600 for a tuning kit that i can’t even make an account for.

### 1/5 — Worst tuning software ever

*2025-10-10*

I’ve used tons of tuning software and this has to be the worst. The tune itself is fine but it takes forever to load and has barely any other features than read and writhing tunes. Not worth $600. Wish the OFT v2 was still available

### 1/5 — Writing preparation error

*2025-09-17*

Terrible app. I cant even write my tune because every time i try to i get a writing preparation error. Now i have a $600 tuner i cant even use

### 1/5 — Lacks connectivity

*2025-09-06*

Does not connect as it should, tough to navigate.

### 3/5 — Annoying

*2025-08-27*

Not the best interface and super annoying that I have to wait to get my files from some mysterious power gate manager…. Wasn’t told at time of purchase I had to wait. Hopefully it works

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2025-07-30*

I've used multiple end-user tuning softwares and interfaces but never an interface where tunes are sent remotely and that require a phone connection. This might be the absolute worst device and software I've ever had to use. On top of essentially bricking my car at this point due to who knows what, the app just loops endlessly when the recovery and even stock file is selected. I'm asked what file to write, I select, it downloads, and then asks again what file to write. It doesn't end (Wifi, BT and physical obd2 connection were ALL maintained). And don't even get me started on how slow this is. I can read, edit, write AND go get a 10 minute log with my hptuners device/software on a customer car before this glorified paperweight can even download a single file from the cloud. 10/10 will never use this again.

### 1/5 — Won’t connect to wife or hotspot

*2025-07-16*

Iv tried everything and it won’t connect to any WiFi connection so I can’t even register or use the OFT v3

### 1/5 — Poor connectivity

*2025-06-18, version 1.51.1*

Unable to connect to WiFi and establish basic internet connectivity. That’s basic app 101. Spent 40 minutes cycling through the prompts to connect but can’t pass step 2 of 5. Piss poor interface. Good idea with wireless connectivity just poor execution.
