It works for me

This app has been working very well for me over several months. I am not having any connection issues. It is necessary to go into settings and connect the device prior to opening the app, but I’ve not had any issues with connection. The features in the app are helpful for me. They might not be the easiest things to find, but I’ve gotten used to where the features I use are.

Love it when it works

Number one complaint - works 1 out of 9 times. When it works, for my 2005 CRV, it's pretty amazing. When it decides that Engine data is not supported for my vehicle, it's only as good as a basic OBDII tool. The connection to Bluetooth can be either through the app or directly through Bluetooth settings; either way, it's so buggy that I'll get told my vehicle is not supported and the A30M becomes useless. Please fix this! Another issue is if it loses connection (or freezes) it will likely always tell you you're not supported unless you physically remove the dongle and start from scratch. This too is not good coding. And it's likely these bugs are the same for everyone. We put up with it but more investment needs to be made to make a solid connection. Lastly, the graphic interface is almost useless on a cell phone. With forced landscape format and no text enlargement or better graphing graphics, what exactly am I looking at? Fix the graphing UI so it's formatable or zoomable (far too tiny) and note that the Custom button overlaps the UI swipe zone... why?!

A30m

I have been using the xtool a30m for the last 2 years . It have help me serve 100s of clients . Works well with German and American cars . Need more functions to read Toyota and some Nissan cars without writing the vin manually. I wish to see more service functions like transmission reset oil service .
And it would be great after clear all codes to have a test mode that checks if the system has cleared all or still appear .

Impressed

I don’t know why the reviews are so bad, I love this app/OBD device. Has saved me so much money. Gives information and performs functions that I could never do at home just a few years ago and at a fraction of the cost.

Unreliable

This app and tool is unreliable. I have had several issues where the app would not sync to the Bluetooth OBD reader when I needed it most. After a ton of research, I found out that I had to uninstall the app then reinstall and start all over for it to sync again. That solved the issue but well after the fact of when I needed it the most, so the unit failed me dearly. Now here we are again and the app will not update at all, I get the error message “network anomaly, please try again” there is no network anomaly whatsoever and again I am left with a useless tool that I would like to get my money back on.

Unusable after latest update

Unable to run automatic scan now. It gets stuck and goes nowhere, I have to scan each module to check codes

Worthless

The interface locks up and hard to get out of. Scan and diagnostic function’s are extremely slow.

Not enough covered

2012 Jeep compass should be able to be scanned because it’s a very abundant vehicle but apparently they are very picky on the vehicles they pick and choose to put it on the app

Best mobile scanner for the money.

I have the bluetooth OBD2 scanner/iPhone app combo. Ive had 0 issues working on dozens of makes/models so far from BMW’s, Japanese makes, dodge viper, Saab, ford, etc….
I’ve found bad timing chain codes via troubleshooting with all the diagnostic features of this tool. It has bi-directional capabilities even on old GM cars you’d have to have a tech2 dealership tool for. I’ve been able to trouble shoot all sorts of things by command turning on/off dozens of relays/and switches for things like fans, fuel pumps, fuel injectors, starter relays etc…
The live data is great too if you want to see parameters of O2 sensors etc…
Updates for all makes are extremely frequent.
It saves old vehicle data and saves reports with custom edit abilities if you want to print them for customers etc.
Not saying this is a $5-15k snap on scanner but this is definitely the best scanner period for 100-200$ bar none. I cannot recommend more. Buy it.

Xtool a30m

I’m on IPhone and IPad. 25 years professional experience. Worst diagnostic experience yet. App constantly looses connection. Can’t even finish downloading files. Wish I read the reviews here in the App Store rather than the people paid on YouTube to give positive reviews. Terrible

Don’t waste your money,
it’s worthless

was fine until an update occurred

Recently, the software updated and I can no longer auto scan many different types of vehicles, including my personal truck, which is a 2007 Dodge Dakota
I can’t get into any advanced functions that no or at least it claims to no longer support it after the update

Très bien

Je possède le Diag à 30 M. V2 pour utiliser la version française avec les mises à jour, il faut envoyer le SN par e-mail à Xtool directement deux heures. Après cela fonctionne.

Error

After the latest update, the program stopped working. It keeps saying "check the license or reinstall," even though it works fine on my Android tablet.

Can't find Mercedes

I tested the app for Audi and Kia and it was ok but I can't find the package for Mercedes. Could you please add it?

Bad don’t work

6 months doesn’t work anymore. I don’t know what happened with this. Sellers is hard to find.

Only good if it works

Bought this as cheap alternative as it comes with the same features as a more expensive version. When it works it’s brilliant but it only works when it wants to. So it might be cheaper but there’s a reason

Problema con iPhone

Con l’ultima versione sono sparite alcune case automobilistiche

Trash scanner

This is a waste of money anybody thinking of buying this I recommend you’re not buying it. You’ve got all these people putting up these videos saying what it will do and when you order it and try it on different functions, it doesn’t work and it boot you out.
