### 1/5 — Vvds wifii not working on vids mobile phone pro device

*2026-04-13, version 1.2303.1*

No happy customer the vcds hex net wifii not working on vcds mobile iPhone pro device please sorry , thank you very much !

### 1/5 — Sehr enttäuscht

*2025-12-21, version 1.2303.1*

Man kann mit der Mobilen Version eigentlich echt Nix anfangen. 

Der Aufpreis für ein Hex Net rechtfertigt in keinster Weise die Funktionen die man Mobil nutzen kann.

### 5/5 — France

*2025-10-11, version 1.2303.1*

Est-ce que un jour il y aura une version tout en français ? aujourd’hui nous avons AI Serait-il possible dans un futur très proche de l’intégrer à votre afin de traduire les textes en réel français ou pourquoi pas en camerounais si un camerounais logiciel, mais qu’il ne parle pas anglais, car oui il y a eu cette chance dans la vie de pouvoir apprendre cette langue, mais le futur doit s’adapter à tout le monde vous ne pensez pas

### 1/5 — nicht mehr zeitgemäß

*2025-07-18, version 1.2303.1*

muss unbedingt ein update erfahren.

### 2/5 — Pytanie

*2024-02-21, version 1.2303.1*

Jakie jest hasło?

### 2/5 — Bitte nachbessern

*2023-10-23, version 1.2303.1*

Eine Version auf deutsch und ein bisschen mehr Funktion hätte ich mir gewünscht.

### 1/5 — VCDS App

*2023-08-29, version 1.2303.1*

Ja bin leider enttäuscht, die App lässt sich nicht auf deutsch umstellen obwohl es in der Beschreibung mehrsprachig ausgewiesen ist…
Sowie, man kommt nicht offline auf die Logs ohne verbunden zu sein

SCHADE bitte nachbessern

### 1/5 — Ernsthaft

*2023-07-31, version 1.2303.1*

Kein deutsch dabei
Keine volle Nutzung 
Wir haben das Jahr 2023 wer nutzt da noch ein laptop sollte mal der desktop version angepasst werden

### 1/5 — Keine Englisch Kenntnisse !!!

*2023-01-24, version 1.0.8*

Man kann das nicht nutzen .

### 2/5 — Quite useless

*2022-09-01, version 1.0.8*

This app only scan the network to find the interface IP ans starts Safari. All the stuff is in the interface itself and is full of bugs : internet access not detected (so cloud functions does not work), HUD builder is imposible to use as wigets disapears randomly... keep your PC with an USB cable, it works better
