ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

OBD2 Scanner | OBD Auto Doctor holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 2.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: OBD2 Scanner | OBD Auto Doctor has 6.2K ratings behind it against 26, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 38% of GoPoint's written reviews are positive against 30% of OBD2 Scanner | OBD Auto Doctor's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

GoPoint ships an update every 4 months, OBD2 Scanner | OBD Auto Doctor every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 6, 2026 respectively.
