No support
Bought the ThinkCar 1s when it barely came out as a kickfund and now I’m told you can’t use it cause it’s outdated.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

Love this app
The app is most of all of them first off sharper and faster
Doesn’t work
Can’t connect to bluetooth. Useless. Don’t waste money on this crap.
Wouldn’t really recommend
It was great at first now the app is so buggy that every time I try to do a diagnoses the app crashes
Poor value
Don’t Waste your money on this.
They charge you for every car in addition to the module.

So slow. Buy a dedicated scantool.
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.

Bad News
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 $
Not all features are supported
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.

It’s ok
Doenst work on a 2002 f150 and never stops trying to sell you other products or software
Not compatible with ford ranger 2002
Says can't find vin
Good Value for price, not great
Net: probably great for front yard mechanics with conventional cars. For hybrid owners, it provides insight into your issues, but without the same level of diagnostic functionality.
This thing is well worth the money if you have a modest understanding of cars and are having a maintenance issue with the engine electronics.
If you have a hybrid, it's still useful, but (my sense is that) the engine turning on and off confuses ThinkCar, even to the point where it can't pull the VIN. It can pull & reset engine codes OK, but the data streams are almost always recorded as a permanent loop of the same short patterns.

Works great!
My only complaint with the app is that there is no icon for the app when being used on an iPad.
A money saver
You hear people say “knowledge is power”. Well that’s what you get with this device. It has saved me hundreds of dollars and avoid shady mechanics.
One of the best tools for the diy Person.

The best!
2 separate top car repair guys on U tube both rated this high!! I used tech support once. I got quick accurate, polite help. It was an error on my part. I recently did a break repair. Scanned the bar code on the door pulled up all the data. I was able to easily reset a ABS and a brake light fault. This will give you service builtins for you vehicle. Don’t waste your time with other scan tools. This is easy to use, more powerful than most. I wouldn’t waste my time researching again. if I lost this tool. I’d buy it again!

Never got to run diag tool
Just received my unit and tried to run on my 2010 Mini Cooper. I went into the full diagnostics tool and it said that the software needed to update but fails on file unzipping after downloading. The app won’t let me proceed any further. I will re-review if support gets me up and running.
Unable to update software - Refund Please
This dongle was advertised heavily on YouTube. It won’t read any codes because the app tried several times to update the software for a better user experience. The software won’t update. The dongle is junk.
Can't get a confirmation email
I'm trying to set up my reader but the send verification button isn't working/ isn't sending an email so I'm unable to use it at all... Please help
Great little OBD2
Not only will it read OBD codes it can do health report of all the vehicle's modules.
They charge money for adding more cars !!
Not really worth the money if you think about it I have 5 cars they want $10 for each additional car to add for diagnostics plus the yearly $10 subscription so in real life they are charging you $10 if you want to diagnostic for you friends car check engine light that auto zone and pep boys does it for free ! Kickstart wasn’t mentioned this information they tricked the customers in order to buy this crap for personal use not worth it ! For business use as mechanic it makes sense completely for $10 you can pass down to customers but for me Bludriver could be better option.
