Am just patiently waiting for it to come back so I can do a dsg adaptation and wastegate adaptation. Not sure why the adaptations got removed but it really stinks not having them. I’d rather go through the powerlink app rather than OBDeleven. Looking as I have no choice since they’ve been gone for about a month now. PLEASE bring them back ASAP, need my car to run smooth!! Other than that it’s awesome, I’ve flashed using both the app and laptop version. Laptop is definitely better and safer to do but not everyone has a windows laptop to run the program. Having a mobile scan tool thru the app is also great, you can do a big pull and can instantly check for codes. ### 2/5 — Flashing error *2025-10-22, version 3.0.1* Current update does not allow flashing. Goes through very fast but then hits 100% and pops up with an error. Current tune stays on the car and it doesn’t brick the ecu but unable to actually reflash to a new tune ### 2/5 — It’s ok sometimes *2025-10-17, version 2.0.4* It has worked good in the past but the app will keep on crashing now every time I try opening it on an iPhone 15 by the way ### 2/5 — Don’t use app to tune *2025-05-11, version 2.0.4* Find a laptop or something because this app will error out and freeze. If the tune does go it will take absolutely forever. I used an ROG Ally after getting sick of this app crashing and I was worried I’d brick my ecu and tcu. The gauges are kinda neat if you need that info but you probably only bought the powerlink cable to tune so just use the windows app. ### 1/5 — Pretty, but not all there *2025-04-18, version 2.0.4* Useless for anything beside reading codes and monitoring performance metrics. Actually flashing constantly fails and locked up my TCU. Had to buy a Windows laptop just to get Stage 1 and DSG flashed ### 5/5 — Options for gauges *2025-02-06, version 2.0.4* I would love to have fuel pressure, oil pressure and coolant temperature monitored with gauge options. ### 1/5 — Don’t use the app *2025-01-17, version 2.0.4* I tried flashing my VW Jetta GLI through the app and it stopped at around 9% and bricked the ECU I had plenty of charge in the battery but it kept failing. Just stick with a computer or a laptop as the phone flash is not any good. ### 5/5 — Amazing Software/Hardware *2024-12-21, version 2.0.4* This is by far the most user friendly and comprehensive system for DIY tuners. I wholeheartedly endorse Integrated Engineering! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Performance Does Not Match Claims *2026-01-22, version 3.1.4* This tune is advertised at gains up to 120hp, but in real-world use it produces far less — closer to ~40hp based on logging and direct comparison. Support does not provide free retunes as implied, and unresolved underperformance becomes a product issue, not user error. Users should evaluate the marketing claims against real data before purchasing ### 1/5 — 13.2 *2025-12-27, version 3.1.3* Nice power but I can find the stages in powerlink prog ☹️🥺 ### 1/5 — Lack of effective support *2025-12-05, version 3.1.1* Hi XODUS Performance — can someone from management please contact me directly regarding ongoing issues with my 2018 F-150 3.5L EcoBoost tune? I’ve been working with support for over a month, providing multiple clean data logs, detailed technical information, and screenshots from your own published materials. Despite all of that, the tune on my truck still isn’t matching the performance claims advertised on your website, and I’ve now been told that the published information contains errors and that the tune cannot be adjusted. At this point I would like to speak with someone above the support level who can address: • The discrepancy between the advertised power gains and the actual results • The admitted inaccuracies in the website marketing • The inability to adjust or correct the tune • A clear path toward resolution I’m not here to attack anyone — I just want this handled appropriately. Please have someone in management reach out to me directly so we can get this resolved. Thank you ### 1/5 — CONNECTING THE POWER LINK TO APP is NOT WORKING *2025-11-23, version 3.1.0* V4 power link for my Audi A5 is not working. We have updated the device and plugged it into the computer to do thag. Taken it out and plugged it into the car, turned on Bluetooth, turned on ignition, clicked scan and waited for it to connect, though it has not worked and we have tried even restarting the app and my phone, checked for updates and tried on different phones, still not working. Keeps saying error your cabile device isn’t working or somthing and the light is flashing green so it should be able to connect, we have asked ai to help and maybe give a different way but it hasn’t worked so please IE company reach out to help!! ### 1/5 — Mobile tuning *2025-11-20, version 3.1.0* Sure would have been nice of IE to be more transparent regarding their tuning at home issues with certain VW models. They claim the ecu isn’t capable of something 034 already figured out.. go revo or 034 for at home tuning. ### 1/5 — Mobile tuning *2025-11-06, version 3.0.6* Sure would have been nice of IE to be more transparent regarding their tuning at home issues with certain VW models. They claim the ecu isn’t capable of something 034 already figured out.. go revo or 034 for at home tuning. ### 1/5 — Do Not Use This App *2025-09-30, version 2.0.4* I attempted to flash my 2021 VW GTI back to stock. It bricked the ECU/TCU and the car cannot start. When I explained what happened to IE via email, I got a lazy standard response that did nothing to help. I attempted to use a laptop after the app and that didn’t work either. This app needs to be removed from the App Store immediately. It ruined my car and will cost me thousands of dollars for repair now. ### 1/5 — Mobile tuning *2025-09-09, version 2.0.4* Sure would have been nice of IE to be more transparent regarding their tuning at home issues with certain VW models. They claim the ecu isn’t capable of something 034 already figured out.. go revo or 034 for at home tuning. ### 1/5 — DO NOT TUNE TCU *2025-06-15, version 2.0.4* The app works for ecu tunes, but for TCU tunes, it loses connection and will brick the car. For most reflashing the tcu with a laptop works. However for my case, this did not work and the tcu bricked the car completely. ### 1/5 — Wow *2025-05-22, version 2.0.4* Ts is not working over the phone…. Just keeps saying scanning ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great app *2026-05-11, version 3.2.1* App is genuinely easy to use, gives me all the info I need, and has never given me any sort of problems that a quick restart won’t fix. Really impressive considering lots of companies make accompanying apps that can’t do the most basic of things. ### 5/5 — Perfect for beginners *2026-04-27, version 3.2.0* For someone that new to the self tune culture tuning my 2019 B9 s4 was a breeze. I mean I did the whole thing in 30 mins with my iPhone! Step by step instructions so simple and easy that a child could do this. It has built in safety features so you don’t blow your car up lol. And did I mention you can do it from your phone! Customer support is S Tier. Very responsive and Informative. I’m enjoying my stage one tune on E85 and I would definitely recommend it to my peers. ### 5/5 — 2020 A3 Quattro Stage 1 Flex *2026-03-25, version 3.1.10* Wow…car pulls hard and smooth. Up next downpipe Stage 2 Flex! ### 5/5 — Best upgrade *2026-02-13, version 3.1.4* I have been in the car business since 2003. I have dealt with all the major brands. By far for highline the best bank for your buck is Audi. My opinion IE has been a godsend. I appreciate all their hard work and effort to maintain OEM standards while getting the best out of my Audi. My next car will be a Porsche. And I can’t wait to see what IE will do for that car. Happy tuning everyone. ### 5/5 — User Friendly *2025-12-26, version 3.1.3* Great app, easy to access what is necessary. Wish there was a little more depth but you can always bust out the laptop for that. Love the gauge monitor and constant code checking. Wonderful tool and easy to use platform with MASSIVE power gains! ### 5/5 — Carplay *2025-12-14, version 3.1.3* This app is amazing my car Has been tuned with IE for a year now but i would like to have the gauges accessibly with carplay instead of having to using my phone ### 5/5 — Love it *2025-12-07, version 3.1.1* I absolutely love it I looked at a lot of tuners and ie has the best. ### 5/5 — The number one app to tune it all u need in one *2025-10-14, version 2.0.4* Keeep up the good work ### 5/5 — Just wow *2025-10-04, version 2.0.4* What an update this is. I haven’t been using my Audi lately and had to download the tuner wizard on my wife’s laptop to retune and saw this new mobile tuning setup from your phone and it’s the coolest thing ever. My life just got so much easier. No more laptop to do logs, just reach for my phone. I highly recommend ### 5/5 — A+ *2025-08-04, version 2.0.4* duper easy to use just follow steps --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
