### 1/5 — No support

*2025-07-22, version 1.1.8*

Bought the ThinkCar 1s when it barely came out as a kickfund and now I’m told you can’t use it cause it’s outdated. Never buy one of these products. It won’t work for long

### 3/5 — Cant active new vin

*2024-12-13, version 1.1.8*

Payment channel has been deactivate, pease
update latest version!
I can’t purchase new car activation

### 5/5 — Love this app

*2022-08-02, version 1.1.8*

The app is most of all of them first off sharper and faster

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2022-04-14, version 1.1.8*

Can’t connect to bluetooth. Useless. Don’t waste money on this crap.

### 2/5 — Wouldn’t really recommend

*2021-05-24, version 1.1.7*

It was great at first now the app is so buggy that every time I try to do a diagnoses the app crashes

### 1/5 — Poor value

*2021-03-23, version 1.1.7*

Don’t Waste your money on this.

They charge you for every car in addition to the module.

Poor support

### 1/5 — So slow. Buy a dedicated scantool.

*2021-03-04, version 1.1.7*

This thing is for the birds. Maybe connects 1/4 of the time. When it does, updates are required, then if you are lucky enough to get into the app, codes clear and retrieve are the only benefit to this thing. Data stream is too slow to be useful and the pids are minimal. 
Buy a cheap launch scantool if you’re actually interested in doing anything of a diagnostic.

### 1/5 — Bad News

*2020-11-29, version 1.1.6*

From day one device told me my car was 5 years newer than actuality with different specs. No customer service they do not respond. After 90 days you need to pay fee or unit & software is useless. Save your $

### 3/5 — Not all features are supported

*2020-09-10, version 1.1.6*

When reading the app data on the dash it doesn’t provide voltage or mil status. Blue tooth connection between the OBDII attachment and phone can take more than a few tries to connect.  Ive had this for a year and still no fixes. 
It’s a good product just wish all the functions I paid for operated as advertised. 
2006 E90 BMW 330i.

### 2/5 — It’s ok

*2020-09-09, version 1.1.6*

Doenst work on a 2002 f150 and never stops trying to sell you other products or software
