Ratings and reviews

Pros: Can read codes, clear codes, veiw pids, network test. Cons: PATS function freezes up and has never worked for the past year I've used it. Cannot toggle PIDs in dataloger or see more then 6 at a time. On long yest drives I like to see multiple PIDS and press pause when the concern happens, but I often have to do this multiple times with 2 sets of PIDS active and screenshot them. Overall, does well but PATS needs to be fixed or deleted if it doesn't work.

App was great, then got updated for "modern look" and now it acts as if my touches on the screen aren't really happening

Simple, fast, and easy to use. Great app for the quick scan and simple data reads.
