OBD Auto Doctor supports all cars sold worldwide compatible with OBD2 or EOBD. Please see https://www.obdautodoctor.com/help/articles/obd2-compatible-cars/ for the compatibility info.

The app requires a separate OBD adapter using Bluetooth, BLE, or Wifi. Plug the ELM 327 compatible scan tool into the car's diagnostics port, and make sure you are ready for car inspection. We recommend avoiding the cheap clone ELM devices and using genuine ELM327 adapters.

NOTE: Most app features require your car to support them. This app can't show information that your vehicle doesn't provide.

▸ This app is free, but a subscription is available to unlock all the features. Check the app website for more information and the differences between the versions.

I can't figure out for the life of me where my logs are saved. As soon as I stop the car everything disappears and the excel logs that I share via email are all blank. Other than that everything seems to work but it's useless without being able to analyze and save data. Edit: ok I figured out the semantics don't leave the screen or the data disappears. Makes sense considering the large timestamp data generated. It would fill up the phone memory very fast.

I'm sorry about your experience. The data is not saved in any file; it's kept in memory. You need to export the data before you disconnect.

It only scans Engine Control Module (ECM) and Transmission Control Module (TCM). It does not scan any other modules such as ABS, VSC, etc. So it's about the same as a cheap handheld scanner in that regard. The Pro version also has sensor monitors with data graphing and logging, which made it worth it for me to do a one month subscription. This part helped enabled me to figure out the problem with the car. But I had to use something else to read the ABS and VSC codes since OBD Auto Dr. doesn't read those... It paired fine with my Carista adapter, which is just a ELM v1.5 with v4 Bluetooth that works with Android, IOS, Windows.

The software works well. I have the yearly subscription and went to use the software and it did quit working. I tried to log out and it wouldn't let me. It said I didn't have a subscription so I ordered the monthly subscription only to find it still didn't work. I finally figured out that uninstalling and reinstalling fixed the issue. I contacted help and they gave me a refund for the 1 month subscription. Happy customer again.
